I keep getting messages from the family of the person who used to own this phone number. It's been several years and I haven't told them I'm not George. It's kind of nice being invited to reunions and concerts since my family doesn't do any of those things. I was also getting some texts from an actual weed dealer and someone looking for weed and a ride. I wanted to see how long they'd keep texting so I never said anything. They texted for quite a while. Ugh. All these new stories about even more sophisticated scam techniques keep reminding me why I shouldn't use my full name on the internet anymore.

They changed it back.

Jesus…. I googled skyline chili. They are all just PILES of cheese with a few spoonfuls of chili under it. Holy shit I have never seen so much cheese in any dish ever. I can only assume this is done to mask the taste of anything chili or noodle.

33:50 about being really hungry, we have what I think is a local expression for that which is "I could eat the arse off a low flying duck."

Hey guys, idk if anyone other than patrons read these comments but I wanted to say that there are volunteer groups called “clinic escorts” who basically serve as an assistant to patients who come into clinics generally for just general healthcare but sometimes abortions. There’s an ACLU article written by a volunteer patient escort that may be worth reading.

Re: Cheesesteak. I'm sorry no one told you it's a garbage sandwich. It is only appropriate when you're on Passyunk, very drunk, and it's 3am.

Re: Turning kids transgender - The problem is this sort of shit distracts from the real problems going on. For decades surgery had been performed on intersex/DSD children. This small segment of people is literally being assigned a gender and surgery is performed from a very early age. This is done under the auspice of "for their benefit." Often the children grow up never knowing truly why they need to be "fixed," parents told not to say anything to the child, and they are left isolated, believing they are the only person in the world with their condition. Almost no one is bringing this up, so it is apparently okay. The thing is christians do know they exist, carve out an exception, turn a blind eye, and let surgery happen to little children. So, what's this about loving all of god's creation as he created it?

Re: Phone bots - I was reading an article years ago in the WP. The columnist was waiting for the train when a payphone rang. Everyone ignored it, it was obviously a wrong number. One guy did answer it, after a few moments said, "I'll go get him." He placed the phone down (didn't hang it up), the train arrived, and everyone boarded. The columnist sought out the guy and asked him about the phone call. He said, "Oh. It was a telemarketer."
