  1. My first thought would be "that person is about to have sex whether they want to or not."
  2. So is everybody in a rush to rebrand everything to Scouting America? And hopefully your packs/troops are bouncing back and membership is increasing. We are already pretty set for the fall.
  3. The governor is getting millions in donations from a Pennsylvania billionaire to push vouchers. I have yet to hear someone explain why a Pennsylvania billionaire should have a say in the education of Texas kids, because Hot Wheels is keeping that info to himself.

  5. Or the nickname for a swingers club run out of a house on Tanglewood Trail in Tarrytown.
  6. My 5th grader would love to be picked up in a 1980s muscle car. He hates that we've only ever had minivans and SUVs. Ain't picking up anybody else's kids unless it's at UT, and I'm driving one of these. Or this
  7. PPSSPP, a popular emulator for PlayStation Portable games, and plays them in high-definition with extra features. https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/ppsspp-psp-emulator/id6496972903 Info on loading games here: https://www.ppsspp.org/getgames_ios/

  9. Past month has seen a slew of emulators released for iOS (just-in-time systems won't be available in iOS), and per the agreement with Apple, they are all free. You do not have to jailbreak your devices, these are apps available through the official iOS App Store. Some of these emulators overlap one another, but usually the ones that are tailored to specific manufacturers can be better/smaller.

  10. Would love to pick the kids up from school in one of those, after years of seeing all of the boring beige and silver shitboxes that way too many parents drive these days....
  11. I liked that one, and would like the trophy one back.
  12. Sort of, unless it changed in the last legislative session: "Sales at farmers’ markets are still not allowed, but a farmers’ market booth can serve as a delivery point for pre-purchased raw milk." So if you pay for it online from the dairy, you can pick it up at a market (or other locations away from the original farm). Of course, some of these people are the types to ignore the regulations, but it seems like fucking around can impact your ability to sell agricultural products in Texas.
  13. He learned proper English in an English-language school in Switzerland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_School_of_Berne) And his school years: We in America don't learn a lot of proper English words, so it pays to have a British friend.
  14. I would assume it's fully Kate assembling her young NY avengers group.
  15. There's no help for these people. I have anti-vaxxers among friends/family who actually knew a friend's parents, one of whom had polio as a kid, and had to wear braces on her legs her whole life, and is now in a wheel chair, and they still deny that vaccines are helpful. Pointing it out to them doesn't matter, they pull the "well humanity made it through polio without the so-called vaccines just fine". None of these people like to do the research, even though it's easy as hell to do. Doesn't matter whether it's bullshit school conspiracy theories like that lady believed, or the earth is flat or Apollo 11 was staged. If some libtard claims something, they automatically take a stance against it.
  16. Better off asking if there are any lawyers in the wreath fund.
  17. I would say start with creating a Facebook group, but only if you have a burner account. And you will be infiltrated by the religious nuts, so just build that into the equation. You could also build up an email list of parents you directly know/trust as well. It's not hard to do in this day and age, but the fucking nutters are going to fight you. Edit: During COVID, we had people calling into Austin ISD school board meetings and reading from the same fucking script, and calling it "ASID" (which meant they probably weren't even from Texas).
  18. Add humans into that mix, and I'm with you.
  19. Miranda Lambert and Shania Twain are the two people I recognize on that album.
  20. It's not that we are upset, it's that we are mocking the fact that Tesla is supposedly the world's most valuable car company, and their first "truck" turns out to be something that was either designed in India by somebody who attached some sheet metal to one of their trucks that we can't import in the US, or that was designed by 8 year-olds. And not just 8 year-olds, but 8 year-olds in the 1970s/1980s who watched some Roger Corman (RIP) movies or watched Damnation Alley too many times. If you spent $85,000 - $100,000 on something, and it turned out you had to be careful when encountering car washes in the wild, or needed a degree in chemistry to properly clean it, or were reduced to using fucking Barkeeper's Friend on it, or couldn't carry a spare tire unless you want to wipe out a huge chunk of the limited bed space, you're not going to put it out that there you fucked up. Plus, if you are critical, some of the Cult of Elon folks might jump all over your ass on social media. Having seen several in the wild now, and up close no less, it's hard to believe that it starts at $81,000 when you see Rivians and Ford F-150s Lightnings for far less, with a lot more functionality.
  21. From Mosseri: FYI we recently rolled out the ability for our third-party fact-checking partners to review and rate false content on Threads. Previously, we matched near-identical false content on Threads based on what was fact-checked on Facebook and Instagram. Now fact-checkers can rate Threads content on its own.
