I get what you mean, but this was in the central loop, in a business district, between a white woman in her 50’s and a black man in his 30’s. Very much gun culture by your definition.

Gang culture I can somewhat understand, but this was just wild to me.

Not saying it’s right or wrong… not my circus. But at a chemist?

The firearm culture, and how normalised it is.

I went into a Walgreens in Chicago, and waited in line behind two other people. There was a cashier free but the person in front of the line was waiting to be called. The guy behind the person in front politely said, “ma’am, the cashier is free” ‘I’m waiting to be called” was the response.

So the guy behind her just walked past her, and she pushed him and said, “Careful buddy, you’ll get shot for doing something like that”

I was taken aback at how quickly a simple discourtesy escalated to shooting someone. It just blew my mind that shooting someone over queue jumping was verbalised, and seemingly normal to each other.

Here’s the thing… you said “a jackdoor is a crow.”

Someone from Birmingham, a city in the middle of England.

That’s right pilgrim

What kind of hell-scape-reality-tv-show-fuckfest dimension have I entered, when a candidate for the Presidential election is being judged, by a fucking laugh?

A laugh?

This is really bottom of the barrel, petty, childhood shit.

The sad thing is, I know there will be people that don’t vote for Harris her because of her laugh. And for every person that doesn’t turn up to the voting stations and vote because of whatever reason they have… remember that there are people that WILL turn up to the polls and believe your country should be run by a misogynistic, racist, uneducated convicted felon…

but hey… at least he doesn’t laugh.

For those who want to feel empty and numb inside, I would suggest this triple banger of back to films…

1. Kids
2. Requiem for a dream
3. Import/Export

From my vague recollection,

1: Main entrance. Trains would enter here and pull up to the long platform.

2. Prisoner platform that ran a few hundreds meters in length.

3. An officer/doctor would be at a table around here, and would evaluate in a moment whether they were to be sent to the housing sheds, (4) (6), or if they were to walk down to gas chambers located at 5.

4. Intact “housing” sheds that have not been demolished and are currently preserved.

5. Mass extermination gas chambers and four crematoriums.

6. Razed “housing” sheds after the liberation of Auschwitz Berkenau (Auschwitz II). I think nearby residents and farmers took a lot of the material for rebuilding the area after the Nazi’s lost the camp to the Soviets.

Taking a tour around Auschwitz and Auschwitz II was a very sobering experience that left me quite numb… and while it was quite upsetting, worth doing if you can make the journey

I found “No Tourists” a wonderful homage to their first album “Experience”. It had old, old school rave vibes to it that, but with a current feel.

Andy C’s remix of firestarter is great too. Worth a listen if you like hard drum and bass with a prodigy vibe.

As an Australian transplant in London recently…. I can just image your UZEL, congestion charge and petrol bill would be like now

Papua New Guinea, Luxembourg and Germany are 42%, and a few other European countries have a bracket that hover around the 41-44%.
