  1. "Props to the pole" should be your new handle.
  2. It's going to be must see TV when Pimphand shows up here.
  3. Some people have just learned not to use fucking yarn gifs.
  4. But man, the Fox News "War on Christmas" segments this winter would be next level.
  5. "we're all" and "getting rich" doing a lot of work there. I'm probably in the top 5% of America, and while I'm not by any stretch complaining, the gains I've made since Biden took office, while tremendous, aren't exactly "getting rich" money. Someone posted some article in another thread yesterday or the day before that while 160 million Americans have money in the stock market, 10% of the uber wealthy own 90% or the market, or something like that. Here's an article with a link to a net worth calculator by Kiplinger. https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/605075/are-you-rich The difference, per that article, between the 5% and the 1% is staggering, and we've all seen the different illustrations of the difference between the 1% and the billionaries. The point I'm making, is I'm better off than more than 90% of America, and I'm not getting rich, and I fucking care. A lot. Because everyone else is getting screwed.
  6. Swear there's a restaurant in Austin that was on Bordain or some cooking show that specializes in brains and scrambled eggs. I'm sure some of the folks here know it. Brains and Eggs used to be a southern staple.
  7. Lets say...popular TV. Words still matter. Those voters don't fucking watch C-Span. Most of them still have fucking antennas for their TVs unless they're stealing cable from someone. I do believe that was his point.
  8. It's 3:15. For when you come to your senses and realize that the only distraction of the daily kick to your face of living in America and knowing what's coming, is to distract yourself by 3 hours of kicks to your fucking balls.
  9. Everyone will be out of work can join the military, expanding the federal government, and we'll probably invade Mexico or Canada. Problem solved.
  10. You keep sucking that dick, bitches. "Please don't do this, please, we'll still swallow it all, just don't do this. But whatever you want, whatever hole, maybe look at some screwworm?" You know, ironically, after screwworm devastates our herd here in a month or two, we're probably going to actually need that beef from Argentina. Almost everyone will forget who allowed screwworm into the US, and praise Trump for his foresight and securing beef from Argentina. Calling my shot.
  11. C concerns me. It makes me think the stock market could crash and these people still wouldn't give a fuck. I guess they'll give somewhat of a fuck when shit gets even more expensive. I guess...
  12. I don't care how she strangles me.
  13. Im not sure I'd say all 10's, but this statement is more accurate than not. What? I was curious:
  14. After reading all of that, I don't understand why those guys didn't just become Southern Baptists? They'd basically be getting high fives.
  15. I'm not saying there aren't still many, many excellent colleges here in America. What I will say, is that I think you underestimate that there are also hundreds upon hundreds of colleges who give out degrees for being able to Velcro your tennis shoes, or slip on flip flops if that's too complicated.
  16. Hey everybody look at this budding oligarch! Correct. I went and looked at the twitter of the person JimmyJazz posted above. They're still tweeting and retweeting complete garbage. Just some of the dumbest stuff. I did it earlier with another "oh the prices" tweets I saw on the Leopards reddit thread. The woman in that one was literally tweeting so much I couldn't go and find her original grocery prices tweet from this summer, because her brain-dead ass was tweeting 20-30 times a day or more. And it wasn't about grocery prices, it was AI videos of AOC having a plane drop shit on her. This experiment is over.
  17. Of course, when there isn't an election in 2028 whether they've flipped might be irrelevant.
  18. I mean, there's a legal concept of "consent" which none of these guys agreed to use their company logo, etc. That is a big deal. That being it seems like an agreement could be struck as well. As opposed to "Give the money back and we're going to sue the fuck out of you" which might net more money anyway.
  19. I live in Houston, and this is pretty inaccurate on a couple levels. The first one is that Houston ISD doesn't have a "west Austin contingent." I live in the Heights and Timbergrove/Oak Forest section of Houston, which is Central Houston, HISD, and homes that go from 500k to 1.5 million, at least these days. These are a lot of well-to-do families, votes blue, and widely despises Abbot and and TEA. There was no shortage of F Mike Miles yard signs anywhere around me. And by "no shortage" i mean every third house. HISD also encompasses River Oaks, West U/Rice Village, I believe Bellaire, which areas home prices blow Heights/Timbergrove out of the water. Now, do a lot of those kids go to private school? Yes. Are the expensive areas still somewhat protected even though they're within HISD? Yes. But you're talking about literally the richest areas in Houston that are within HISD. Lets not pretend these people are completely unaware of what's going on. I think a takeover in Austin won't make any more or prolonged media attention than the fourth largest city in the United States did...because people are powerless to do anything about it.
  20. Considering what's happened in Houston, don't consider your scenario to be too unlikely.
  21. New best score of the thread, boys. Feeling pretty good about my level of insulation from main stream American culture as it currently stands.
  22. At this point Im just assuming the DNC is directly behind Plattner's smearing.
  23. Do I give a fuck? That’s the answer
