  1. This all belongs in the rain thread, imo. also can someone define geoengineering to me?
  2. You talking about the canister of dip? I *think* that’s mandatory but could be mistaken. I sure as fuck would have a pistol for snakes. I hate snakes, Jacque. Hate ‘em.
  3. The latest evidence of Nicole’s crimes, at the least. A lot of people are reading into things and expecting the worst. No one knows shit yet. I think everyone is just expecting the worst and mentally preparing for that outcome.
  4. Spoken like someone who doesn’t want people looking too closely at this situation. Right, NICOLE?
  5. If the rest of these shmucks can’t get there I’m going to be sad and pissed. Of course he didn’t cap it at 18k, he said that was their goal. Make him cut a check for 20k plus 10 from here, imo.
  6. Donated. Thanks @Bob Lives!
  7. I absolutely assume the last 4 years is the new normal.
  8. If conditions go back to “normal” how long does it take to go back to that 46%? 3 years?
  9. It’s real. His won’t have the wealth to support shit in a few months when Trump finishes grinding Tesla into dust.
  10. I can see the difference. Yes. But as another poster said, it takes monumental events to change minds, and sanitizing even the worst of political rants, which are tangentially tied to the deaths of children, is an opportunity to wake people the fuck up. But instead we make it emotionally easy for people to not have to be accountable for their own decisions, to say “thoughts and prayers” and go back to just looking at tweets of rising water. I understand the difference. I understand why you do it. Im arguing it’s a disservice.
  11. I realize the massive amount of rain to took fill that much of the lake, but man, it feels like it didn’t make much of a dent. It’s not hard to find threads. It’s also easy to ignore threads that hurt your feelings because politics. But it’s impossible to change minds or even mildly persuade people of anything when you can’t confront people where they WILL post under the guise of “news” and “politics” as if those things aren’t the fucking same 80% of the time these days.
  12. My wife and I want to know the names of rescues that are willing to have Houston fosters for rescued animals. Is it KPi? We’re generous with money but also want to know who will accept fosters as far away as Houston.
  13. I’m fucking sorry dude.
  14. My feelings aren’t hurt. But I despise people like him. now, my wife’s feelings matter to me. Quite a bit. She works at a private school at Houston, and is in numerous teacher and parent chats. Do you think her feelings matter today? Does anyone’s, in a “news only” thread? Because she’s been a basket case and me calling out a gaping pussy when this thread gets too emotional for him to handle feels…just fine to me.
  15. Was the expert responsible for sending out alerts to central Texas in case of severe weather events, with 32 years of experience, who retired specifically ahead of noaa budget cuts, news? Can we talk about how that may have impacted this?
  16. So all threads in the daily Texan should be only news from reputable sources? What about condolences? Expressing sadness and frustration? Grief? What about extrapolating into the future based on news? Because none of that is news either, and yet it’s rampant in this and every other thread and the only things people want to regulate are all of the above, but ONLY when they tie directly to political decisions.
  17. Oh. You’re back. Yaaaaay… He retired early specific to the cuts. The cuts that were made by entirely political decisions, influencing one man’s 32 years of experience in his job issuing warnings to the central Texas region of Texas. You’re saying this isn’t political? Because if you say it isn’t, then me commenting that these political decisions potentially killed a bunch of kids isn’t Political, and doesn’t belong in the Cloak Room. Because I’m commenting on the News.
  18. I’m so sorry man. This is horrible. I’m so sorry. Whoa whoa whoa, isn’t this political @immamac?
  19. You shouldn’t believe it, because it’s bullshit. That would make him the highest or close to highest assistant on a roster where we already have a qb coach. 2 qb coaches, honestly.
  20. Except you posted it with certainly, implied the real issue here was a dam failure and “look how close the dam is to the cabins,” again with certainty, then tried to crab walk and hem and haw about it after your pants got pulled down. Like you’re doing now. Instead of admitting you fucking made it the fuck up. and by the way, if there was a dam failure, it makes the illustration of human negligence even more bare. Because they would have had plenty of time before a dam failure to warn every fucking camp on the river directly. So you can add another place where negligence could have taken place.
  21. People here are supposed to believe anything you post now?
  22. I love how you show up to chastise emotional posters here for not giving you information, but you don’t extend that expectation to your elected officials who spend the 30 minutes of a press conference giving no information. I’ve lived through Harvey, which had a new press conference every few hours. I guess my experience with emergency press conferences differs from yours, since apparently your’s all start with a 30 minute dick sucking session and providing zero information about things like missing or dead citizens.
  23. I’ve seen this twice now in your posts, please stop ending them with “the lakes better fill up.” It’s fucking crass, akin to human sacrifice. Fucking stop it, please. How do I know no one was monitoring, or they didn’t have a plan, or there was negligence? Because a fuck ton of fucking little girls are dead, motherfucker. Either they didn’t have a plan, they didn’t have someone monitoring, or the person monitoring was negligent and fell asleep or fucked off to do whatever. Because the people sounding alarms were consistent from 12 hours before and got increasingly urgent through the night and finally issued a warning that could have gotten girls out of cabins before they woke up “by water at their chins.” The kids aren’t woken up by the water itself unless, somewhere, there is fucking negligence. The proof is the dead children.
  24. That doesn’t sound like an outlier since another storm did similar within the last 10 years. It sounds like the way these things are reported on is the problem. Maybe if reporters led with “potential lake filling event” people would pa more attention. we can’t keep saying 1000 year storm events when they happen every few years.
