Sort of like the natchez-trace highway in the south. It's got a speed limit of something like 50mph, and the cops loooove to sit on it. I want to do an ironbutt on it with my scooter, but that requires a 46.something average speed. There's a challenge there that I just love.

I'm jealous that you can put your hair up like that. Mine would tie itself in about 20 interesting knots and stay that way :D

I think 3 of the dozen or so public schools around where I grew up had uniforms (lucky me, I went to one of them, ugh), while every private school (90% of which were some flavor of christian) had them. Most were more along the lines of 'dress code' than uniform though. I'm remembering khaki pants and bland colored polos more so than the blazer/tie/coat thing. It's probably because it's hot as balls on leather in the sun around here, so anything more than that would be killing kids or the AC budget.

DAmnit! I thought my wildly eclectic bright red underwear with zippered pockets let me be queer enough in my sea of solid colored maroon/black/blue/and-the-one-odd-blue/green/brown/maroon-camo underoos. Now you're telling me I have to get a partner with drawings/designs?

Uh... is there something coming out of the bottom of that horse?

The 2000s were the height? You're at least a decade off: https://www.aetv.com/real-crime/mcmartin-preschool and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day-care_sex-abuse_hysteria and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_panic

I personally remember my brother being forced to destroy his gold cartridge Ocarina of Time when my mother heard/thought it was pagan witchcraft. She watched him do it and claimed she saw green fire/smoke blaze up from it and claimed that it was the devil that had been inside. So that was the later 90s, I guess.

I seem to recall the .xxx going live/large-time in the late 00s era. There was an article series in the newspaper about my area's colleges all suing to gain control of the (college name).xxx sites.

The acreage per cow is very dependent on where you are. I have a friend with a mother who just wanted to raise cows in her retirement (and reap the sweet tax breaks of having a 'ranch'), and they support roughly 1 cow per acre with slight supplementation of food cubes during the winter. Go out to someplace that's famous for cattle like west texas, and suddenly it's a lot less,but they have so much range out there that they can let the cows go nuts.

Damn, you better stick that back in, or some anime character is going to have a completely different first episode ending.

Careful with the mesophile label, some microbiologists may start watching you with interest.

It's a distinction some make, where pedophiles go for the kid kids, like prepubescent, where ephebophiles want the ones who have at least started puberty but are still kids.

Fucking hell, yes! These infuriate me. And not mildly, either! I sometimes wish I had a bot net that could ping their stupid systems so much that they'd suffer for routing tracking through their own internal system/service.
