I went to one at the Cumberland County Civic Center probably 8 years back.

They roped off the first 15 rows of seats so the trucks would have a crash buffer.

The trucks didn't seem to have enough room to accelerate to do the better stunts.

They didn't have alternators so the drivers spent half their time charging their trucks back up and fighting over the lone extension cord. The trucks look like they'd seen better days-- their tires looked like they dug them out of a playground.

Kids had a chance to meet the drivers before the show, mine didn't quite know what to do.

But at the end of the show this dinosaur thing that shot flames came out and cut a car in half, which made it all worthwhile.

Unless he is trying to show how the woman being the stronger has the "right" to kill the weaker party, so the man should as well. See, connected logical thought, even if you don't like the conclusion.

Now, I don't know this guy, and have no idea what the context was he made this statement, or even if he really did, but hey, nobody else seems to care about these niceties, why should I/

The small dick energy is very strong with this guy. And what’s sad is that people like this rapey asshole are in charge. Society will be better off when these ppl go fuck right off a cliff.

Women don’t need anyone’s permission to have agency over their own bodies. It blows my mind that this is still a discussion in 2023.

The pit for that show is crazy small and double the price. It will be loaded with folks looking for battle, but by limiting the size the venue minimizes that trouble. All those numbered sections are technically seated (not that anyone will be sitting) and can only be accessed from the river (East) side of the seating map.

Rural Maine is ABSOLUTELY another world from rural VT/NH. “Rural” VT has (very) rich NYCers up skiing for the weekend and “rural” NH has people coming and going from Dartmouth or Mt Washington. Towns like Gorham, NH which ought to be serving pancakes to lumberjacks have fine dining cruditĂ©s.

Rural Maine, on the other hand, is RURAL. Aint no one going through WashCo or Dover-Foxcroft on the way to anywhere. Also, many of these places are FAR from other states. Like, a rural NH dweller has been to ME and VT and has passing familiarity with them. When your state is tiny, you just end up in other states. When I worked in ME, I’d call people to set up appointments on my 603 number and get no answer. When I met them in person they’d say, “everyone I know is 207 so I figured it was a wrong number”. You could live your whole life in eg Houlton and NEVER need to leave ME. I think rural maine competes with, like, rural Wyoming or something where as rural NH is like, “gotta drive 45 minutes before you can go to a restraint with kale”

Hearing people say shit like this makes me wonder if we should bring back the practice of legal dueling, minus the lethal weapons. It might cut down on violent political rhetoric if politicians who used it were promptly challenged to a fight by their strongest opponent.
