Dang dude, what did we do to you? Lol
I don't believe it has for a while, I got to go up in it once maybe 15-16 years ago as my mom's ex boyfriend used to tend bar there for some time and he mentioned that it used to rotate but didn't anymore. I love the look of brutalist/utilitarian architecture so it makes it one of my favorite parts of the skyline.
For those wondering, I just spoke to a good friend who also grew up in the same town and mentioned the traction this post got and he clarified that the roll is actually real, the holder is leftover from when the previous building burnt down decades ago but the property owners replace the roll on it every few years when it inevitibly decays and have been doing so for about 3 generations, hence why it was there when we were kids and still is now, it's just sort of a running joke/"urban legend" for the town.
It should probably also be noted that the impetus for the accusation is a misquote of him in a video where he said he approves of common sense gun control legislation to ensure that "The weapons of war which I carried, in war is the only place they will be" he did say it a little fast so the publications quoting him dropped the very necessary comma in that sentence and claimed he was saying he carried them during a war, neglecting the fact that with the comma, it makes sense grammatically, and without the comma it doesn't at all, which is a mistake I doubt a teacher would make, even if they were a social studies teacher and not an english one.
It's actually a set of a cabins in a reeeaally small town in western Missouri
I actually named it Bucolic as a nod to Windows XP! The original name of the Bliss wallpaper was "Bucolic Green Hills" before Microsoft bought it from the photographer.
More exposed to a very very amateur Lightroom user lol
Ah sorry, no deception intended lol just still getting used to lightroom for the time being.
I used to lurk like crazy on reddit. I had a nearly 12 year old account that mainly had a few comments here and there months apart, and only a few posts but ever since moving to Lemmy I've found myself actually posting relatively frequently to help build some of the smaller communities I'm in that have also migrated.
Yep, haven't been bitten by a single mosquito on my patio in nearly 3 years because of these little dudes.
I haven't deleted my account just yet but I joined reddit 12 years ago this month, once RIF went under om the 1st I stopped visiting the site altogether. I have friends that still regularly use the site, mainly through old.reddit whom I've told about Lemmy but just aren't quite ready to switch over and that's their choice, due to the amount of content still on the site I can't necessarily blame them, but I just can't in good conscience give reddit the traffic now that they've gone full twitter in their corporate decision making.
No worries, didn't figure it went too deep lol always seems like when I mention being from KC online people go right at the barbecue. I'm a fan having grown up with it but I understand to a lot of people it's too sweet or saucy, personally I like all the regional kinds, KC, Texas, STL, Carolina, etc.
Never been a huge sports guy so tbh the most enjoyment I get out of our superbowl wins is just getting off work early whenever they do the parade lol
