poop is speech

Paris has urinals along thier streets. They put them in after they couldn't stop men from peeing in the gutters.

Viva la France! 🇫🇷

"men"

Yeah, I don't think the native Frenchmen are the ones pissing in the streets.

Women are rather less inclined to piss in the streets. There is a difference between boys and girls you know. :-p

I remember back in 2009 I was caught in gridlock along a freeway with nothing but bushes nearby. Guys would jump out and take a piss. I'll admit to some serious feelings of misandry that afternoon. 😡

Old news but still makes me smile

It's been almost 30 years

I remember watching this in real time

Peter Jennings was hawt :-)

He was my favorite of the three networks. Fidonet was nuts over this. 1989 was a wild year. Tianenmen, this, I graduated from high school.

Today is also the 243rd anniversary of the forming of the United States Marines. Go Navy! :-)

And tomorrow is 100 years to the day of the Armistice ending the War To End All Wars.

cool :D

I'm only 20. I barely remember 9/11.

I'm pretty certain of where I was, my nana's old house, but it's like a half-remembered afterimage in my brain now

I was like, 3.

You're a bébé

I find discussions on reddit about where people were and what's changed since really fascinating

you get one of those on askreddit every week or two

I was stranded in Norfolk by 9/11. I had a flight a few hours after the Pentagon was hit. Needless to say I spent five unexpected days in Hampton Rhodes.

old army buddy of mine told me he was sitting in the recruiter's office waiting room when it happened. i was home playing counterstrike.

I went up to DC for three of them. It was a ghost town. The only noise were the F16s on top sentry.

My nana used to have one of those fuckhuge tvs in her living room. The ones that way dwarf most modern TVs but with like, half the quality.

I remember sitting and staring at the towers, unsure of what was happening

agian, three year old.

On the plus side I had the Smithsonian all to myself in September.

And I vaguely remember seeing TV spots about going into Iraq

And I remember following hurricane katrina as a kid. I was always into the news.

I was in college, I spent a lot of time watching over a freshmen that was from Long Island and who's parrents worked at WTC.

I'm splitting on this tangent a little, it makes me safd how far a lot of the big news anchors have fallen.

Like, look at Anderson here. https://youtu.be/aosNAGt3AxQ?t=40

There was police everywhere. M16s out. Yet I was able to go places that usually would have been barred to me. We were all so unsure so everyone was solicitous.

He used to call shit out

he used to be in the field

he used to be *doing* something

Now he just orange man bads at the TV all day

I went into the Capitol building to pray despite not having a pass.

We went to visit a friend of mom's on that evening (I was 8) and turned on the radio before leaving for some reason. All channels were reporting on the story nonstop, and when we got where we were headed, turned out all TV channels were stocked with the very same reporting. I remember wondering what the big deal was, since we got blown up buildings over here often around that time. The building looked way taller than anything I'd seen up to that point.
