I have pretty thick bone density. I can vouch that I sink like a rock in water and cannot swim. I’m female, in the 200 pound range, get plenty of exercise, but I can shop in the regular sizes section at the store. Running is also a challenge as I am better built for physical strength. I’m guessing having German genetics is a huge factor in larger bone density to handle colder, more unforgivable climates.

I was Wiccan as a teen and am now Christian because I stumbled upon a TikTok about the national parks hiding Cryptids😂😅

Now that I pay you doofuses in money rather than trading your content to Omni Corp in exchange for pieces of my immortal soul… I have notes/demands: 1. #ChooChoo. More Train Talk. Let Thornbury cook. 2. Aidan, I don’t care what anyone else says, Anglicanism is a great religion. Most of you folk fuck less than the Catholic clergy…but you are down to clown for game night . 3. It’s cool that you guys do a lot of research and rehearsal for this show, but maybe loosen it up a bit. Venture off script a bit, have some fun. Life’s not all about following the agenda.

Two things about Baldwin, first even when firing blanks you don't point the gun directly at someone, secondly he fired the gun at the AD who wasn't even on camera. He should definitely be in jail for murder.

Since syphilis has been called both the French disease and English disease historically, can we start calling it the Atlantean disease now?

Wait, you're telling me people came into the country from places that still practice animal sacrifice and cases of animal sacrifice went up? Who could have seen that coming?

Wine gives me headaches.

Alec Baldwin definitely should have at least got charged with negligence as they had several instances of the firearms being miss used or going off when unattended, the armourer didn't give him the assist director did, and everyone else involved with the shooting form the assistant director to the armorer all were given time for there negligence but Baldwin who pulled the trigger. Also he tied the shooting into promoting his movie which I just think is wrong either way

That's funny. It's stopped playing at 1:38:51. I've tried reloading and everything.
