I was gonna go to that one, but they organized here in Palatine within walking distance, so I was there. Kinda wish I’d gone to AH!

American tourists overseas are the worst. I’m embarrassed every time I travel, though I work as hard as possible to not be those people and to prove to the world we’re not all like that.

Good call. 🤦🏼♀️ My brain can’t even come up with whatever lies behind this.

Simultaneously…? Because I think that’s the only thing on the bingo card that’s missing across these nominees.

So, I’ve thought that the way to tell normal people from crazies is that normal people question the possibility that they’re the crazies, while the crazies insist they’re normal and couldn’t possibly be crazy. So the fact you’re thinking about an echo chamber means you’re not in/cultivating one.

Woohoo! Now to get my cousins in Ireland and England to jump on board - they didn’t feel the crazy the same way we did and run for cover.

I’m not psychic, so I’m not sure what you’ll find, but back in the 70s-80s, my Dad & his partner had a 100% clearance rate (they didn’t know at the time - someone later analyzed). Not all theirs resulted in arrests/charges. Gang wars meant sometimes the next case was the offender for the last one.

I want to make sure I keep my handle. But I’m also a Community Notes-er, so I go back once per day to play Whack-a-Mole until I can’t take it anymore. Then I come back here.

Yeah, I find it annoying enough that I just go into my Followers list and manage from there instead of Notifications.
