Oh I possibly found something if I am in my alta ego Everything Offends Me Snowflake Choo choo sounds disrespectful to the Chinese Ummmm hope I have been PC enough Going back to my safe space freezer Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Whoops - I implied I thought the Thomas stories were among the objectionable. Sorry about that. Inadvertent. Mental wandering into a pet peeve. I haven't read them. The stories get decent reviews from my sources. But these sources are adults - they aren't being read or reviewed by the kids, usually. So I dunno. For sure simply writing PC stuff into an ongoing storyline is no bad thing - the best writers have always done that, for one reason because PC stuff is often reality based.
Off-Topic: Oh, my. I'd almost forgotten the kinds of questions small children ask. I suspect I'll be a grandparent soon enough. I'm not sure I'm going to this time round like those kinds of "impossible" questions any more than I did the first time round. LOL Was having four kids a mistake? LOL Let's hope they don't feel the need to "populate the Earth." LOL
It's okay. Once they hit 10 - or is it seven now? They lose interest in everything except their electronic devices, and wouldn't dream of asking a grandparent anything - I mean, like, what could old people possibly know?
There is a certain pleasure to be had in asking questions one knows the old person cannot answer. Apparently. According to people I know. These friends of mine. Relations, actually.
I do not understand why people would watch NRA TV? (I tried once and got the impression that they were working on a cure for insomnia)
I remember being quite impressed to see my grandfather wearing a digital watch - and that was thirty-five years ago. My father, on the other hand, had a digital clock-radio that he never learned to set.
So let me get this straight, Thomas the tank engine is going to other countries, ok, so what wrong with that? oh they are going to have non-white and female characters... so what wrong with that? Well it will brainwash children into hating whiteness! Well first we don't need whiteness or any colorism anymore thank you very much, second what does that have to do with guns? Well an attack on whiteness is an attack on all glorious conservative values which means they will come for the guns too. I'm sorry if I'm caricaturing how conservatives think but this is literally the nicest why I could explain their thinking.
They've been trained to believe that the NRA is a force for "good", meaning a body that agrees with them. They watch NRA TV to reinforce their beliefs. They learn how to answer reports of mass shootings with obfuscations, and to attack anyone who isn't 100% pro gun.
pro gun ok pro chisels and saws and planes and rasps and files and screwguns and drills and coffee percolators and water heaters and heatpumps and lights and ......................................... Speaking of which I got the guns out and checked and cleaned them and will zero them in the next day or 2. IMHO a humane kill means that it drops where you shot it. (also much more convenient for these old bones) Yesterday, I saw 2 does in the backyard, and today an 8 point buck=about 200 pounds of harvestable meat. We used up the venison in the freezer last month. Meanwhile the river is up and rising So pulling the boats and dock up higher seems a more urgent project.
I hunt coyotes, they're an invasive species that need to be thinned out. First one I saw in this area was dumpster diving behind the Broadway Oyster Bar. Just have been a cajun coyote. I let motorists thin the deer population.
I had a friend in highschool whose dad tried to run game down with his truck so they could eat "roadkill"
I'm just waiting for the moment when some grandniece or grandnephew asks me if God is real. That'll be an awkward follow up conversation with the kid's parents.
I helped move a roadkill deer into an enclosure once. We trussed it up on a limb and moved out quickly. The African painted dogs in the adjacent enclosure wanted that deer badly. Fifteen minutes later, hooves and horns, nothing else, lay on the ground.
Take a look at the grills on some of the tow trucks and construction guy pickups in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. Hamburger is expensive, at the store. I've eaten pheasant that hit roadside wires, and pheasant that had a heart attack flying across the road ( dropped as if shot, the pericardium blown up like a balloon), and a goose I saw clocked on the head by a plow attachment, but anything hit squarely at highway speed is not worth cleaning up imho. I'd make an exception for a bear. A lot of turtles go to waste.
