Nice to see you! I'm so sorry to hear about your wife. I wish you and her well on the journey to healing and your retirement. I'm unfortunately a long way from retirement. I definitely feel my age catching up. I've also lost many people I was close to to many causes over the last few years...

I meant to quote this as well: "We are both from the UK but aren't the same person!" Wasn't there a big debate about this years ago?

That sounds like an amazing ride. I live near mountains myself. I'm certainly going to be enjoying some scenic rides soon. I need to get familiar again as it's been years since I have ridden. I don't care for American bikes either. The one I just got is a Kawasaki Vulcan 900.

I'm getting a motorcycle. Didn't you have one before or was that someone else?

Still trying that argument? 😜 I'm not even convinced that Col and Rich weren't the same person 20 years ago.

It's not even about the object. If anything changes in a cats immediate environment and they don't see it or hear it, it's still spook them when they notice it. It's instinct. It's also a bit stressful to do this to them intentionally. It's not healthy for them.

I don't need another place for that. I already have plenty of places to debate politics, so I'll pass. This is a place I came to ESCAPE that, honestly. But that was probably 20 years ago. Now I feel old.

I think much more than moderation has gone awry, but that's deeper than this forum. It's sad that some people can't have one single place where they don't have to let their political biases drive EVERYTHING. I hated that it even became something discussed here. It never used to be and we...

That's what it was before... 2015/16ish maybe? Sure, we had the little knocks at Americans from the Brits and vice-versa. It all felt like it was tongue in cheek. It was fun banter. But when social interactions have turned into political fights, that's no longer a social community that's...

Many, many years ago. I think we went to a steakhouse. Ted's Montana, maybe? Hope you're doing well.

Hey! Long time no talk. I'm not sure what you mean. You have a photo in your Google drive you want to delete? If it's actually in your drive and not shared from someone else's drive, you should be able to.

Losing so many big players points to some problems. I hope things get sorted out. This place was so invaluable to the start of my career. I hate to see this happening. 😭

Who? Where? You know specific examples? The only people that say this happens are the people against trans folks to begin with. It simply doesn't happen, full stop.

Answers also change over time as technology changes. The correct answer 20 years ago may not be the most efficient way to accomplish the task today.

So that makes it right? Are you wanting a third world country?
