Can also confirm that a pretty big one happened before Trump: the one that happened in Brooks, KY in 2007.
The whole area smelled funky for a couple years after the derailment... And was also CSX.
I used to work for a computer repair place long, long ago and I was on the laptop repair line.
I went to unscrew a laptop but for some reason my screwdriver wasn't catching the screw... a coworker took the screwdriver and put more force into and there was sickening crunch that wasn't hardware...
He removed the screw along with an impaled dead baby cockroach...
But this isn't the end. Oh no.
When that screw came out with its buddy they had friends.
A lot of friends.
Flooding out of that tiny screwhole like something from a god damn horror movie.
We bagged that up and sent it back to the customer. It did not get repaired that day to say the least.
Pretty sure it's normal to put your own cream cheese on... But it would have been nice if they'd at least cut the bagel, I guess.
I think this is very much an 'each to their own' thing.
I have a Loth Cat from Star Wars on my arm I got at Star Wars Celebration 2019 and so I get warm fuzziness and memories of that time when I see it there. It was a fun experience I got to have with my family... and a very cute little critter too.
Admittedly I've been asked many times if it was a Pokémon LOL
...It really does. Especially with the amount of word play Gintama uses frequently (Kanji play in this case? Not sure if it's a 'they just look similar written down' thing or actually a verbal play too. I won't pretend to know the word for hemorrhoids in Japanese LMAO)
Man, I miss Gintama.
I got curious and looked it up.
It actually sounds less crazy in context but like.
Bro, that thief gonna get some kinda karma when they open that bitch...

Leerin' at the cock while he fondles her Booberts.

Kentucky is also a fairly low cost of living state which is something to factor in too.
My husband and I combined make waaaaaaay the hell less than 400k a year and we aren't rich but I'd say we live fairly comfortably here.
I know a lot of people say it's learned but I know I've been doing it for as long as I can remember and as a kid I initially never did it consciously.
I had adults get on me for 'giving them a look' when I was a kid but like... I wasn't giving that look intentionally... it was just a natural reaction... I mean, usually when I thought something was stupid or it baffled/confused me in some way but I wasn't intentionally giving 'nasty looks'...
I got a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited earlier this year and I actually love what they've done with it. It looks so sleek to me, especially in black.
I didn't care for previous iterations of the Elantra. Dont get me wrong - they weren't ugly. They just looked like standard car. Not bad just kinda bland. The newer style has personality, stands out much more and in a good way in my opinion.
