Yeah, I'm a sneakerhead. I buy shoes all the time.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
The wife and I went to the local outlet mall so she could get a new "work bag" to go along with her dozen others. I wound up getting a couple of pairs of shoes, she got her bag. As we drove home she said "See? this trip was profitable for both of us!". I explained that no, we didn't profit at all, we actually lost money. She was too happy about her bag to care what I said. Win/win, I guess.

Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
There's chatter here in OK that the "eyes" situation has triggered ou student groups to once again put pressure on the university to drop "boomer sooner". If y'all could fall on your swords on this one, you'd really have my thanks.

Defund the Police
I said in another thread that I'd disarm the police. Let them have a low-power taser, maybe. I keep seeing people asking "What if they get into a shoot out???". How many times do cops get in a "Shoot-out" that they didn't start themselves? Or worse yet, they're the only actual shooters? I'd imagine it's pretty rare. Have an on-call SWAT team waiting at the station, like fireman do. Call them in when the shit hits the fan. 1. No more firearms. 2. No more military surplus vehicles/weapons. My rural county has a huge APC, for what? Such a joke. 3. No more military-style uniforms. When I worked at my county sheriff's office 20+ years ago, we had stupid brown slacks and a tan shirt. The changed over to all black BDU trousers and blouses, then to a polo shirt. Guy were creaming themselves because they got to look like Rambo instead of Barney Fife. It was pretty pathetic. Humble them with an old school uniform, that takes a lot of starch out of a certain type of guy. 4. I'd like to see a disciplinary panel to look into charges of excessive force, brutality, etc. Make it professionally diverse, put a LEO supervisor, a social worker, mental health worker, local attorney, whatever. Just not a bunch of cops judging one of their own. I think you need one so they can explain procedures or how the law would apply to a certain situation but one is enough.

Lets fix the police
I've said for a while now that cops should be unarmed. Too many times they shoot first and (maybe) ask questions later. I just don't trust them to make good decisions with firearms. They need to learn how to defuse situations with critical thinking and by using their words, as we tell small children constantly. They won't be as quick to lord over anyone when they don't have their trusty 9mm sidekick.

Vasectomy
I think we were so hyped up to be getting laid in our 20s, we didn't care about all of the sensations. I know I didn't, I just wanted to bang away.

Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man
I don't disagree. I've seen some weird pics online, masked guys wearing Secret Service-looking earpieces and shit. White guys methodically breaking windows with a hammer. None of it makes sense.

Vasectomy
I had to have torsion surgery, so I got snipped since the doc was going in there anyway. I was in pain for days, still have sensitive balls, even more than a decade after the surgery, but that could be in my head or left over from the torsion. Either way, I'm glad it was done. Never had to wear a rubber with wife #2, it's been great.

Weird, I thought they quit making those?

Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man
I think it's because we see stories every day about someone getting killed, even killed by police. That's (sadly) not a rare occurrence. It is much more rare to see a large city get fucked up and burned. Every time a killing like this happens, I think shit's gonna pop off but it almost never does. So I'm surprised it's gotten as big as it has this time. Personally, I think the protesters/mob should storm the police HQ, city hall, mayor's house, etc. before going after Target or Auto Zone. You think the mayor is picking up plug wires or an O2 sensor on his way home? He doesn't care about that shit. But he'd care if his house burned down.

Poor? I live in a suburb that's 90% white and has good schools. The cops are always out in body armor and ready to throw down. They don't give a shit how much money anyone's making, they just want to be large and in charge.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
We had a contractor at the house tonight, we had agreed on the price a couple of weeks ago. As he was finishing up, my wife and I went inside and she asked "Should I ask him how much I should write the check for?". I said WTF, don't ask him, you practically asking him to raise the price. Write the check for the amount we agreed upon. She goes out and asks him "So how much was it?" To his credit he looked at me and said "uhhh, whatever we said the other day". Fucking hell.

They eat their own shit half the time, so I think that ship has already sailed.

I think the dog food I buy is the real deal. The dogs haven't complained, so I think I'm good.

Running thread of white people calling cops on people of color for everyday stuff...
Can we call the cops on people who use the term "furbaby"? If so, I'll put those fucks on speed-dial.

I don't understand people that act like she did. I guess she's used to crying and getting her way. Probably got her out of a ticket or two. Guess the worm has turned now.

100% fact. Why didn't she just follow the rules? I don't get people like that.

Ah, he didn't exactly say he'd take the dog. But still, saying "You're not going to like it" comes across as ominous to me. They both seem like they suck.

So the guy that filmed the dog lady posted on his own facebook page that, be fore he started filming, he threatened to take he dog from her and busted out dog treats to lure it away. WTF?

I carried 600 lbs of tile from my truck bed to my room the other day, my back and legs were trashed.
