Someone on Nextdoor was asking about what turned out to contrails. Down in the replies someone gave a somewhat simplistic explanation of what contrails are then gets attacked for "mansplaining".  :facepalm:

Some in the thread talk like they've never seen them before. Seriously think some people never look up in their entire lives

I've seen that on reddit too. How the hell can someone over the age of 6 not know what a contrail is, or at least that they're related to aircraft? Idiocracy.

They got what they deserve for being on NextDoor.  That sight is a hive of AWFLs just looking for an excuse to swarm.

Meanwhile in Oakland, Benny Johnson got robbed at an In-N-Out:

Not a story in and of itself, but apparently this is the first In-N-Out location to close in the company's history ... all due to the rampant crime ...

I guarantee all the ninnies will run with "he did it himself for clicks".

Oakland was a scary shithole back when I used to have to go to Coast Guard Island 20 years ago. I can't imagine going through there now without power armor.

NARF (Naval Air Rework Facility) Alameda used to to be one of the places that did P3 rework and I dreaded having to take a plane there because invariably the guys that had never been to Alameda would want to go bar hopping. Usually we would stay in Alameda but every now and then someone would want to go to Oakland. I usually went back to the hotel at that point. I can't imagine how much crime there was when there were carriers homeported in Alameda because it is nothing to get to/from Oakland in Alameda.
