Do Amber Alerts for Missing Kids Actually Work? | The Walrus

Y'all spend fucking hours gooning, doom scrolling and posting about what your damn cat did each day. What can't handle a 10-second interruption to your t-girl jerk hour?

Amber alerts aren't emergency warnings. If you chose to ignore a warning about a tornado or a possible flood, that's your problem. But out there is a kid that might need help, and all you're asked to do is to report if you see something suspicious that's matches the description.

If it means one less kid is going to end up on kiddie diddly island or found in a ditch, then send those alerts all day.

I thank you for your sacrifice and devastating hardship you have to face each time you get an amber alert like once or twice a year.

Right, each time I see this picture pop up, it's like the words barge and dredging don't exist. Like this thing is seen as some damn cast away raft or some shit. This is fine. It's just different.

I bought a collapsible bucket that fits into narrow spaces when I need to drain plumbing systems

Life hack I figured out, impromptu bucket, for oil changes and draining fluids. Get a cardboard box that fits and line it with a garbage bag. Drain oil into bag. Tie up up bag and put box and bag into another bag for transport. Or you can cut the corner of full bag to drain into a jug with out making a mess or funnels. Hell got no funnel? Pour the clean oil into a clean bag and cut the corner of and fill engine.

Does today feel "Christmassy" to you?

No, it's weird. It's like the magic of it is gone this year. I want to be jolly, and indulge, but I can not. I bust my ass off all year, i look forward to this is on time of year where I always have said fuck work, and responsibilities from Dec 20th to about Jan 3rd. But this year is just hollow. Like a depression came apon me. Like taking a bite of a chocolate bar anticipating thar sweetness, only to have no flavor, just mouth feel.

Yep, paper wasps are chill as fuck. I had a hive of them living on my deck under the hand rail. I'd go out and chill with them daily with my coffee during that summer. They would stare at me for a bit. Then get back to eating bits of my deck.
