Who is the “city” though? The ravens are going to schedule their games and then organizers need to make sure that 82,000 possible parade attendees are available to come to the parade

It's been here before the Ravens existed. This is on the City. They screw one thing up after another. The Ravens don't release their schedule until July. The parade is scheduled way before that date.

Nothing but facts, very nice!

The sun never sets on independence from England

Doesn’t mean it’s not stupid. A little foresight and flexibility goes a long way.

It pays to read up to see that the whole thing is much longer and reaaaaally fucking awful.

They're so vain.

That's more than once a week, which is a lot, yeah.

I mean, it's 5 every 4 weeks. Nobody should have that many independence days against them.

"Will our flag wave forever?" Is the actual message, it's not a certainty it's a reminder that our flag only lasts as long as the spirit in our heart (seriously it is)

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not. But for the 30 years I lived on Falls Rd and watched the parade, it has always been on the first Sunday of December.

While I'd never go back for a dog, I'd seriously consider Bmore Humane out in Westminster. They have a TON of cat space, and when we were there to get our mess of a dog half of the cat cages were kittens at the time. Go there. Stalk their website, too.

So stupid for organizers to set this up during a ravens home game

this is an insightful comment and i agree with you whole heartedly. <3 neighbor!

You're trying to split hairs. Where are you finding that distinction encoded into the law that declares the Star Spangled Banner the anthem?

I don't see anything that says "just the first verse, we don't like the verse about killing runaway slaves that joined the British so they could be free."

Yowza

wiki says only 65

Still a lot lol

It was a much darker anthem before being watered down.

Former state song. Repealed last year.

To be fair, the Vietnamese aren't exactly exaggerating. Besides Canada, what other country can say they beat both the USA and France in separate ground wars?

BARCS and all their satellite adoption sites (petco, etc) always have kittens! frequently their kittens are also in foster homes so you need to schedule a meeting. a kitten can also bond well with a cat close in age--don't discount a cat who's one or two years old, they've still got a ton of that kitten energy! BARCS is also overcrowded right now so they are waiving adoption fees through the weekend, and all of their animals are vetted and spayed before going up for adoption. it is admittedly harder this time of year--"kitten season" is in the spring-summer, and slows down as it gets colder.

Huh. TIL.

Yeah and I want to say both Romania and Vietnam have almost hilariously violent ones. US is def top half but it's far from craziest.

Romanian: "Priests, lead with your crucifixes, for our army is Christian, The motto is Liberty and its goal is holy, Better to die in battle, in full glory, Than to once again be slaves upon our ancient ground!"

And Vietnamese: "Our flag, which is dyed with the blood of victory, carries the soul of the nation (…). The path to glory is paved with enemy corpses. (…) For so long, we have contained our hatred! Let us be ready for all the sacrifices so that our life is radiant."

well, that is a good point, but what’s represented in the politics rn is right wing ideas. we have only two parties in control. there are plenty of leftists, only none in power
