    it's just a picture of what happens when you defund about everything except the bare minimum to keep someone alive.

    when the education system is in the top 10 companies in the state, while having bottom 10 education, you know you probably dont want to be there.

      Even by going by American standards of what is “good,” it’s interesting to see the south with such a superiority complex when they rank worst in almost every metric that matters lol

      Is the education system being that high purely from how much they pay college football coaches?

        i think it's strictly employee count and salary relative to other companies. regardless yes, a decent chunk is probably due to the crimson tide.

    Living here (not AL specifically) is just constantly feeling like Ralph Wiggum giggling and saying he's in danger.

    Search for Delta 8/CBD stores. Most carry Delta 8 vapes and hemp-derived THC vapes that are legal. We have them in Texas, I assume they have them in Alabama.

        This is the sort of thing I was talking about when I was talking about the photo of the Palestinian woman holding her dead niece (the photo that won World Press Photo of the Year). I get the idea that the award is kinda lib, but photo journalism itself, when done right, can be a very powerful medium.

    I regret to inform you that I had basically the same experience in Los Angeles.

    Don't sleep on white people they're fucked up in lib areas too.

    Never been to Alabama but I've been to Florida, and almost as soon as I landed in Ft Lauderdale I could feel the disregard for human life. It's a quality in the air, like humidity

    Which isn't to say it's much different here on lib mountain, but here they at least pretend, usually.
