Poll of the Day > NPR once again makes being stuck in traffic enjoyable

(+) Yeah! (+)

Went out for a late lunch earlier and got stuck in gridlock. Thankfully, however, a NPR piece about healthy phrase-ology and marketing was shortly supplanted by a discussion of cephalopods.

One of the more interesting points was that it sounded like octopuses could actually detach their arms to escape from predators, something I hadn't known. It went on to discuss how octopuses with a single tentacle had been found, which is apparently all one needs to survive until it regrows the others.

Additional octopus info:

Unfortunately, I arrived at my destination before the segment ended.

Then later a quantum mathematician (I think that was the thing? Either that or quantum mechanics or quantum physics) was discussing how mathematical models show that our government, in its current form, is too complex to be run properly. He was discussing the models and findings, but I missed the rest because I was getting back at that time =x

Your other shitty topic got hijacked so you decided to make another useless topic about your life, when nobody cares about an extreme narcissist.

Yup, I fully expect him to act as though he has no idea what I'm talking about and he won't appear in his other topic again.

I used to do back when the only alternative I saw was music stations. Then I somehow got hooked on NPR.

The irony is rather hilarious since you've made countless topics solely about pretend things happening in your life whereas I've made topics tangentially involving my life but really talking about other things. Not that you have any grasp of reality in general.

And, after you started to trollbrigade and harass that combined topic, I figured it made more sense to do individual topics so the subjects aren't hidden in your ocean of vitriol, toxicity, and hatred. And, in general, I didn't go into your cop topic to talk about the fact that you made up a stripper, or that you claimed the air was unbreathable in 2008, or any of your other nonsense claims. I stayed on topic and I would encourage you to do the same.

But sure, screencap what I'm saying here and add it to your immense library of recordings, Nixon.

To be fair, it's just Erik and some troll alts which, in all honesty, may or may not be connected to him. Their single-minded fixation on me certainly seems similar.

Uh, you're aware that Nixon is dead right?

It's also funny you're crying about vitriol and toxicity against you when that's all you ever post and you're attacking a guy for having cancer, making it all about you.

His spirit lives on in you.

It's funny that you're defending a glaring troll alt who made up claims of cancer and used mocking terms, etc, to harass me. The fact that you're suddenly on the side of troll alts like Koopa/Fr and Clark makes me wonder what your investment is with those accounts when everybody else acknowledges them as troll alts. If I find out that you're the guy behind that Clark account, I'm permanently ignoring your sorry, delusional ass.

If I listen to the radio its all I listen to, especially since the channel plays jazz at night which is the best for driving. I say the other half the time though I listen to music from my phone.
