  1. RR closed as well. I’d welcome a day to just chill but these weather events never happen on a Friday evening, where it’d get us out of 8a Saturday basketball, but always after a weekend when kids have to be managed while on calls all day.
  2. Any forecast updates that aren’t just an image of a map with lines and circles? Seems outlook trended away a bit from impactful precipitation, but what do I know.
  3. Beef don’t come with a radio edit Beef is when a judge is calling you defendant Beef, it comes with a long jail sentence, handed down to you in a few short minutes
  4. I’ve always been partial to Fuck Off Jesus
  5. The answer should have been pretty clear the moment you came to us for help.
  6. Sweatergawd the fuckin weather only gets ‘close school’ levels right after a long weekend or right in the middle of the week…so my kids are always at home when I’m working. Can’t this shit start on a Friday evening and be gone by Sunday night? Now I’ll be F5’inf the district Facebook page, reading all the Karen comments saying ‘just close the school FOR THE CHILDREN’. Karen, if you want your kids home so bad, just keep em there…rest of us have jobs
  7. AHB has it right…I’m born 1980 for reference. Use it to plan events and manage comms, marketplace when selling shit, very occasional messaging. Internet discussion peaked when forum software matured but before broad social media, when most communities were more narrow in focus. Slashdot, Fark, Something Awful, was on a great Prelude forum back when I had one, etc. Amassing the vast majority of online communication into a few tech monoliths…half of which owned or otherwise controlled by billionaires…puts way too much power into a handful of people. I choose to participate only in limited moments, when that massive reach or sheer momentum of legacy contacts, is when I use Facebook. Anytime I get curious and poke around further, my eyeballs alight and I leave that shit faster than NowThis.
  8. I only use FB for event invites anymore. So much AI Slop, ads, and ‘posts’ from groups that I never joined…feels like work to even see posts from actual people. No wonder they’re creating GenAI users.
  9. I’d still take it over my wife’s back seat driving
  10. See also: hospitals.
  11. Just wanted to say Thank You for getting to live vicariously through yall. Pokes season inexplicably went to crusty ass and I followed ya’ll more closely than normal…to the point I ate the insane ticket prices and screamed my heart out last night. Even bought my first new UT gear in ages…an “I’m Horny” longhorns shirt. Dude, I’m heart broken. We had shitty upper level seats right above the far corner of the end zone from where QE gave up the sack fumble. Right up until that moment I was confident they were going to pull it out, and when the tOSU side started going ballistic I had to get out of there…I was fuckin INVESTED. Was a great ride, so glad ya’ll are back to national prominence. You have the highest Good Fan :: Douchebag ratio of any of the blue bloods, finally have a coach, and despite never really having a solid 60 minute game…almost played for a natty. No consolation to ya’ll, but in the NFL-lite era, and with OK State never being a part of the Big Boys Club…I’m ecstatic to see you guys standing toe-to-toe with the assholes of the world.
  12. Not even a Horn, and I still drove 2.5 hours and spent $500 just to be able to do this:
  13. Only a matter of time until someone nearly drowns in the Gulf from riptides, the ambulance driver panics at the sight of a wall cloud, but is unable to stop on the frozen road and runs into a bollard-less pipeline upon which the gale-blown flames consume an entire refinery. Or parks their CyberFuck next to one
  14. Oh wow I didn’t know you live in New York!
  15. This week’s episode with a great open and “is it Wednesday yet?” close out. Paul’s character with a few ‘show don’t tell’ clues about his condition before the big chat with Jimmy…mad respect for presentations that make an effort in that regard even if I’m sad “I have a big ego” is being foreshadowed out Casting is so good all around…Brian with a couple scene stealers, Derek with The Special, Abby’s new dude fits in well as the Straight Man, etc. Great episode.
  16. There’s an episode of MST3k called Boggy Creek 2, filmed in Arkansas probably mid-90’s. There’s a scene where the protagonists go into some general store and half the riffs sound familiar today: ”it’s the welfare moms sucking us dry” ”liberal!” ”want to contribute to our fund for the war against northern aggression?” ”want this on your klan account?” Those deplorables have always been there, they just finally had a public figure that ‘made it ok’ to say the quiet parts out loud.
  17. I just want to once again log…for the sake of posterity and flipping bits on a hard drive somewhere out there…that “tits, polls, and Bennigan’s” is a perfectly natural flow on the politics board here which simultaneously fills me with unspeakable joy and complete inability to adequately explain to others why I love this place.
  18. “Everything is so expensive under the Demonrats that mah family can barely afford to live”… Fun fact on Space Mutiny: the guy who plays David Rider/Roll Fizzlebeef and the Sexy Senior Citizen are actually married, and she’s younger than him. My sister and I also randomly ask each other if we’ve signed Sherry’s birthday card.
  19. For 18 months I’d heard about the pending recession, ‘economic headwinds’ and how businesses were having to layoff/cut spend/raise prices etc in preparation…bunch of bullshit. Before that it was supply chain issues…which obviously were a factor for months during peak Covid but had long passed in mid-2021. Now it’s ’collaboration and innovation is better in-person’ that large businesses are using to make people’s lives miserable with forced RTO, constant threat of layoffs, jamming more people into fewer offices, etc. Fuck em. It’s like the Fox News crowd, always blaming Trans folks, immigrants, taxes, abortion or whatever else they can use to distract folks.
  20. How did I miss this thread last season? I love this show…much prefer smart, dialog driven, tight ~30m stories with distinctive characters that play their part well. Give me a five minute chat between Tyrian and Queen of Thorns over any hour long CGI circle jerk. Am glad to see this season sticking to that formula with some new twists while still allowing Ford an out that doesn’t feel contrived and would let the core continue. Curious to see if Goldstein’s acting chops have another gear, and I think we all identify with Derek a little too much meaning he does a good job. Wife still throws in ‘safe dick is the best dick’ into conversation lol.
