Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And apparently the president of Brazil refused financial aid to help fight the fires, which seems stupidly petty.
From what I saw, he's going to keep burning the Amazon until Macron apologizes to him for something mean he said. Because apparently the president of Brazil is in FUCKING MIDDLE SCHOOL.
He clearly is Trump's brother from another mother.
I have those microwave rice things, for heating pads, but finally got an actual plug in heating pad a while back and was like "why didn't I do this before??"
I can't believe how many toddlers are running the world's nations these days. Good god. It's so depressing for the future. I try and remind myself that people in other eras were probably convinced humanity would destroy itself, and we didn't, but global warming seems like something we can't really avoid...
And high school was before facebook, but mostly I just want a 30 second update on a lot of people. Like, college, I'm pretty much friends with anyone I cared about, on FB. I have a few hs friends on fb. But there are a bunch of folks I just want to know what happened to them. Married? Gay? Crazy career? Moved to Japan? Became a musician? No idea, and I want to know! But then once I know I don't need to like, keep being friends with them?

I care less about 98% of my classmates than I do getting to see the Forbidden Floors that were formerly the convent. I'm seriously super excited. (Catholic school kids are weird, yo.)
I always end up having a great conversation with someone I wasn't really friends with at college at the reunions and then we stay in touch in Facebook. Also become pretty good friends with some spouses.

Yes, exactly!
I totally want to see the Forbidden Floors, Tep. I am curious if my HS campus is physically the same, it was old and rundown when I was there, with occasional flooding. I think I heard they got a pool at some point? I wonder if Google can help me with that...
None of my high school reunions have been at my school. They have also had essentially no involvement from the school. Of course for my 30th out of a class of a little more than 100, we had about 15 people turn up.

He wants the forests burned so he can turn them over to oil interests and agriculture.
He's encouraged farmers to burn back the land so they can take it.
This fire is not an accident.
Are everybody's reunions at their actual HS? Mine was at the House of Blues downtown this year. And the tenth was at some chi-chi place in North County (managed not to get invited to 20/25, so don't know where/if they were held). If it was actually at my HS, I think I might be more likely to go.
eta: x-post with ND when I accidentally didn't hit post.
Our actual percentage of attendees might be even smaller than yours, ND, but with a graduating class of 860, it was still a pretty good-sized party.
