    The definitions of words, and the perceptions of political parties, change over the years.  I agree with you that the GOP is not (and has not been for some time) true to the conservative brand that they trumpet, but this poll is more about self identification, so you are free to select whichever option you think best fits your idiom.  I've kept the same language for the poll options/legend for consistency so there is some basis for comparison to previous polls.

     

     

    Fair enough

    Separately, I am fascinated by the socialist responses so far. Since the Venezuela thread is on my mind from earlier today, I'd be interested to hear why people see real world examples of socialism in government (Venezuela), see it fail and fail spectacularly and think "yes, that is what I want here in the States." Why would it succeed here, where it has failed pretty much everywhere else?

    Is it just me or is it odd that you can have any story about Venezuela's collapse and get this result?

    Honest question, that's 3 stories in this thread and all came up blank for 'socialist' and 'socialism', does that say something about the press, or am I just looking into it too much?

    While I haven't specifically searched like you are, I have noticed the same thing. You have millions of "Bernie Bros" who will tell you, "it's different!!!" but just like communism before it, it might sound good on paper but there are multiple REAL WORLD examples of why socialism is not a viable solution.

  3. Wife’s half sister is graduating this year from UT so gotta sit through that long ass commencement. 

     

    On the plus side, graduation season coincides with intern season at work and that’s a strong positive.

    Went to the oasis for the first time in years a coupla weeks ago. Same great view...same mediocre grub. Burgers were fine, nachos were...awful. How do you fuck those up?

    It’s worth a visit, but not for food.

    Exactly. The times I have been I always try something new...."how can you fuck up a burger/chicken sandwich/fajita/whatever" I say to myself, and every time it's absolute garbage. The best things I have eaten there have been barely passable and then you realize the burger cost you $18 and was on par with an overcooked double with cheese at McD.

  5. According to some dude on reddit that had a linked source (I'm too lazy to find it), COs in South Car get paid like under 30k starting. No way in hell am I risking my life to break up a prison fight when I'm making the equivalent of like 15 bucks per hour.

  6. Number one offender for me is the fucking Oasis. That place has truly terrible terrible food, but it's ALWAYS packed. People love that place and I cannot figure it out. Sure it has a nice view on a good day but the food is overpriced garbage. Even if they gave it away it would still be ass.

    Trudy's has a couple OK options on the menu, but we always went for the Mexican martinis anyway. I'll toss one out that I believe may not be around anymore - Mellow Mushroom. That place sucked ass but for whatever reason everyone loved it. I guess because it was convenient to west campus maybe.

     

    Agree with several others including El Arroyo and County Line.

  7. I used to play the shit outta CSGO. I got a bit burned out but wouldn't mind playing with some Surlsters(?).

    Last time I had a MM rank I was SMFC pushing for global but there were too many cheaters so I moved permanently to ESEA and FACEIT. Played several seasons of ESEA Open and Main division.

    It'd be fun if we could find 5 to play. I've always enjoyed playing with a full team rather than random idiots.
