I worked for years in inpatient psych, and some of this is what I would tell patients who needed access to therapy after discharge, but the detail you've included and to have it all in one place is fantastic! You've put together a great resource

I agree, but also they're different regions on this map. I'm more upset about being lumped in with Dallas. Ultimately when you're pumping large areas together, there are going to be dissimilar places within it, but they might also be more similar than some of us care to admit

I've always been partial to the name Pubert myself. It's pronounced "Pube-air."

Totally opposite where I'm at, way more fireworks on New Year's every year than I've ever seen on the Fourth

George Michael. Say his name.

John Gallman does sound like he may be a domestic abuser...

This doesn't really work, since, you know, Biden's already been president for three and a half years. The lettuce was set up for Liz Truss on day one

You're so blinded by this lust you have for China that you forgot to read a goddamn thing about this besides the headline. What China's doing is intentionally cutting production to prop up rare earth mineral prices. They're purposefully making these minerals more expensive so the businesses that refine them can stay in business.
