What's with the lobster season thing?
They added a single day season (if you are a Florida resident with a permit) to take lobster before the normal 2 day "mini season" that comes prior to the commercial and regular seasons.
Mini season is a shit show, because everyone with something that can float will descend from Dade/Broward to be out on the water fighting for lobster... and I do mean fighting. People will get run over, shot at, left behind, and arrested. The boat ramps are swamped, the reefs and coral heads have thousands of boats on them. Think Floridaman + coolers of beer + free lobster + Bumper boats. The Keys are JAMMED with people and boats for a wild west style lobster grab. The locals (who are also insufferable) are pissed because their towns are overrun with people just "raping their" natural resources!
So the GOP decided to spring an extra day of mini season on them, unleashing the hoard with no real economic benefit to the locals. The Keys are basically populated with salty blue collar rednecks and rich folks from parts north.
tl/dr
It's a conflict generated by good ole fashioned Florida overtourism and the Keys evolving into exclusive playground for the rich.

Haha. I missed this song in real time, and I only know it because a few years ago, it was the nominee of a friend of mine when we were talking about "worst songs to make it big."
oh man, I am so embarrassed to say I liked that song when it came out (not really the ska/wrap thing) and I still kinda like it... association and whatnot. If it gets the girls gyrating and in a certain frame of mind though...

Florida a spanish name that is clearly 'male' jfc so Florido now?
On a side note, shorty has been doing all sorts of weird shit to win back good will. A conservative leaning friend who lives in the Keys said all the locals are pissed about his special one day pre mini lobster season. Something no one wants, no asked for, and will punish a deep red part of the state. I think even the kool aid drinkers are starting to see him for who he is.

I responded to locodos, you responded to me (while also responding to the "original gerrymander" quote).
The original 13 weren't gerrymanders but many of the other 37 were. The term gerrymander has been around since ~1812, demonstrating that early on under this constitution politicians understood the power of carving electoral districts to benefit themselves or their colleagues (and I very much doubt that Elbridge Gerry was the first politician to do so). Which is what a gerrymander, ultimately, is.
Yeah I got the point and concede that the states were admitted via a political process to balance various interests (most long since irrelevant) But I was going more for a blame the red state morons approach.
Which I think everybody got... but if not read on
My comment was meant to convey
- There are effective controls on the courts (despite hyperbolic posts to the contrary)
- Those controls are largely wielded by the senate in the form of approval/consent (I know the house is needed for impeachment)
- The fact that the senate has not wisely used (or used at all) those controls is an indictment of their constituents because...
- Senators are sent via a state wide election so that local level fuckery is not an excuse for shitty, unethical, hacks diddling the levers of power instead of wielding them

The fact that the senate was gerrymandered a long ass time ago doesn’t mean it’s not gerrymandered.

Yeah I get that, but my point is that Florida and Texas have bat shit crazy senators... you can't just blame the game (politics) you've got to blame the player (our fellow iggit countrymen)

Yeah. Tribalism. It's there. It won't be used. Elections have consequences.
So much this... the real bummer is that the Senate is where this all goes sideways... and you can't even put it on gerrymandering

Well, the UK has completed the full "put the extreme right in charge...and it turns out they shoot our collective dick clean off" exercise. Other European countries are still in the throes of "this time it will be different" thinking and....
The most peaceful, prosperous countries, over and over and over and over, are those that occupy the middle 50% of the political spectrum. There are elements of EVERY country that are unsatisfying, frustrating, etc. The smart answer is NEVER "burn it all down, try the extreme," but here we are.
Well,
My uninformed opinion is that past colonialism, immigration, combined with virulent thinly veiled racism drives the gains on the right. French citizens reported (hundreds of?) thousands of Jews that French police arrested and loaded into trains east. They don't like to talk about that, but it's true.
In my personal experience, much of mainland Europe is AT LEAST as racist as Alabama/Mississippi and much more blatant about it. I'm not saying everyone, but holy shit it's not uncommon.
I say that as a white boy who grew up in the south in the 70's. I used to think it might be just because I'm an asshole, but it's strange that I only seem to have problems when traveling with my wife (who is also from the south, isn't an asshole, but IS of Asian descent). Some of the shit that happens is mind blowing. One of the funnier ones was a concierge who, with a smirk, would only recommend Chinese restaurants and didn't know of any other food options in the city of Frankfurt.

I've posed this question to car friends of mine - Can anyone show me a bad color for a 911? I don't know if their marketing altered my brain as a child, but I've literally seen 911's in baby shit brown, and thought, "That's a great looking car." Something about the proportions of the car just make it beautiful in every and any color.
And I'd also love to see a Singer build thread.

The vast majority of Springsteen's catalog is overproduced garbage. The Saxophone doesn't belong in rock music. About the only thing of his I like is John Moreland's cover of Thunder Road.
One of my favorite bands as a Lad...
They had a xylophone, 2 synths, 3 guitars, drums, bass, and a whole ass horn section.
Phenomenal in concert.
