I’m amazed they were even that thin. It seems like they’d have to be huge.

No joke! I don’t know if I’ve ever actually seen a phone book. How would they even fit? Seems like they would have been enormous.

I did see a payphone in a restaurant once but it didn’t work. I saw another one outside of a gas station on a road trip in the south. That one had a dial tone, but I think you had to pay more to call anyone we knew, so we just took selfies pretending to use it.

Fair.

There’s literally a Lemmy user trying to mark all Trump supporters on a map on a website. Nazi I assume?

When you reach, stretch, and attempt to classify everyone who does awful things or that you disagree with politically a “nazi,” you make the word mean less, and you make people care about the term less.

People like me, right now. Carry on, this thread is boring.

Yes, everyone that thinks you’re a sweaty tryhard is a bootlicker. Blocked, you’re dull.

Yeah. That was my point.

I was like “that’s a skinny looking running back…” then, oh

Depending on the interval and person, 11 shots of hard alcohol could literally kill you, no cars needed whatsoever. That is like 2/3rds a full 750ml bottle. I’ve seen a girl blackout, passout, and vomit all over herself from a slammed fifth.

Lol

Thanks for letting us know without providing the link. Very helpful and informative.

… are you drunk or something? Or just Canadian?

Save you a click: Walz doesn’t practice vegetarianism like the author and the other 5% of the population of the US that does, so he’s secretly evil.

Narrator: They weren’t.

They’re not “acting” like it’s nothing new. It is nothing new, and we’ve had large, nation-wide protests because of it.

Perhaps you’ve noticed how the majority of the responses here are some sarcastic version of “yeah, no shit”?

No, it’s not like saying that at all. Comparable racially motivated arrest rates (and criticism) happens in towns like Ferguson, MO; Brookside, AL; Pine Lawn, MO; St. Ann, MO; Country Club Hills, MO; Walnut Grove, MS; Benton, AR; and Richland, MS to name only a few.

Each of them is, as the commenter pointed out, in the south and many are in Missouri and Mississippi. These are racist towns that use arrests and police violence against, usually, black people as a violent form of oppression. Perhaps Ferguson, MO rings a bell?

The other commenter wasn’t saying “there’s nothing to see here,” they are saying there’s a lot more to see here, and it happens to be regionally specific for these more egregious examples, but it happens across the country. Perhaps “Black Lives Matter” rings a bell? This is a large part of what BLM is about.
