Discussion thread for the "Polls only" thread (Part 2)

The airport van was a possible limo, not a possible party bus. And i don’t think anyone actually brought up “airport vans”, which are usually shared vehicles that circle around an airport. Both @Maserschmidt and i were discussing vehicles rented specifically for our use.

Also, i swype. That is, i drag my finger in a smooth gesture to form a word, i don’t laboriously tap each letter. But that’s getting less and less reliable, somehow.

Oh, geez. I tried that once and ended up with a load of gobbledygook. More power to you.

Regarding the new public holiday poll, I picked June, since it’s the only month that’s always without public holidays where I live.

That’s more or less why I picked April – it’s right in the middle of the longest stretch without any public holidays in the US. Although unlike most countries, in the US the existence of a public holiday in and of itself doesn’t guarantee workers actually get the day off.

Arent our polls normally anonymous?

My only actual limo ride was to go to my grandmother’s burial. Definitely not a party.

If I ever got to go on a party bus I’d like to go one like the one in the show Somebody Somewhere. A guy behind me in line at the market months ago was wearing a show jacket from that show, so I mentioned how I loved it. He said they’d cancelled it. Damn them!

My only limo ride was on my wedding day. It was fun trying to get in there wearing the floofy dress and the winter coat.

I’m fortunate enough that I could give up half my wealth without suffering, and I’d love another 20 healthy years.

No amount of money or lack thereof would motivate me to stay here any longer than I absolutely have to.

As I get older, I think about the movies where a vampire has lived hundreds of years, and I think ‘how did you not just become an inert lump at some point?’ Because I couldn’t do it, as much as I enjoy life right now.

What total wealth? I’m broke.

And if I were suddenly 20 years younger and entirely healthy, I’d be in a lot better position to earn more.

Going back 20 years means going back to working for a living.

My innards spasm at the thought.

mmm

Re: Netflix poll:

Other—don’t answer, as I don’t know what criteria they’re using so there’s no point in engaging with it. Same thing when Facebook asks “do you want to more posts like this?” Well, it depends on what “like this” entails, doesn’t it?

I used to travel to Vegas once a year with a group of friends. One of them was a whale and there were always 2 limos waiting for us to go from the airport to the hotel. It’s at most a 20 minute ride.

I’m surprised that a whale would visit the desert, but every cetacean is unique. Did they tie one end of your friend to each roof, or were they able to get some of them into each car?

Trust a whale to take a limo to try to make a splashy entrance.

Either way, that’s a major thing to orcastrate.

mmm

Yeah, this. I usually can’t be bothered to rate shows on Netflix or other streamers. I usually find new shows to watch based on word of mouth or just what’s getting a lot of buzz, not from their recommendation algorithm.

That’s when you neuter a killer whale, right?
