Salvation used to be solid and was the first place I tried Live Oak Hefe in undergrad so it holds nostalgia, but I haven't been since the new ownership/rebrand.
New ownership? Hadn't heard that. There has been a definite personnel change at the campus location but I didn't attribute that to anything other than normal turnover.

Sometimes it is black and white. Like today. You either oppose the racism of the GOP, or you don’t. It’s that simple.
AND once again fuck you. One can oppose the racism of the GOP in its totality and still essentially be "a centrist".
Man, you have a lot of growing up to do. Hope it happens soon. Too much is at stake.

I used to argue centrists had an ideology based around some basic values but after more thought and consideration, they don’t because their centrism is defined by their neutral proximity to the real ideologies.
Please take this in the spirit intended: fuck you.
For anyone else who needs an explanation as to why one might have a legitimate perspective located somewhere between two extremes? Fuck you.
Welcome to Trump 2020.

Centrists only act as an obstacle to change in either direction. That’s what makes them centrists. The have no ideology except “we’re not doing that because it’s radical.” Centrists define normal things as radical. Universal healthcare, gun control, taking in refugees, and advocating for US leadership on climate change are pretty much agreed upon topics in the rest of the civilized world. Yet, the centrists aren’t in agreement on what to do with these issues which makes them pushovers for hard pulls in either direction. It’s a big part of how we got here with Trump.
Self identifying centrists seem like they want to call themselves centrist to give an impression they’re open minded to the arguments on “both sides” when what they’re really saying is, “I don’t care enough to have a fully formed opinion so let’s not do anything drastic.”
Votes straight ticket GOP
because socialism and open borders are scary.
Again, this is fucking ridiculous. It's entirely possible to have a conviction that lands in between two extremes. What you are saying is phenomenally offensive, and it's exactly why Democrats continue to shoot themselves in the foot over and over again.
For fuck's sake. Stop with the Aggie firing squad bullshit. It's incredibly damaging.

You’re not a centrist, you’re a progressive and you just don’t know it.
That's not really true in any historical perspective. Both parties moved right -- what used to be center is now center-left. What he advocates is absolutely a reasonable, moderate platform, but the hysteria from both the Tea Party and the bad_teammates of the world try to redefine everything in some sort of idiotic new normal.

I mean, while we are a bunch of degenerates, I'm pretty sure most of us here would be innocent of any charges of trafficking underage girls.
There are a few I wonder about, though . . .

But I’m not Ronnie wood and he is so he can play whatever the hell he damn well pleases.
This was EXACTLY my thought. Ronnie is beyond reproach.
Irrelevant anecdote: I've only seen the Stones one time, on the "Bridges to Babylon" tour at Texas Motor Speedway. Their set had a bridge that came out and connected to a tiny "club" stage right in front of my face. I could have spit and hit the band. They played a few tunes, and right at the jump some chick threw her bra on stage. Ronnie picked it up, put it on his head like some kind of flight helmet, and played the rest of his set like that. I like Ronnie, he's a very good player and has a terrific heart.

Trump praises Jamal Khashoggi's murderers, but actively advocates for A$AP Rocky's release from custody. Priorities.

Did you happen to notice the 2018 election results? Your break from reality would be funny if it wasn't so clearly the result of self-loathing cognitive dissonance.
Instead it's just pathetic.

handlesdays ago, I believe he mentioned the 2018 results were evidence that he was correct and that it was the right's dream scenario. You know, owning the libs by allowing them to retake the house with four colored wimmens. -

If you read CostCo's New Ideas In Corporate Management you will find that paying your employees a living wage helps the bottom line, but it has jack shit to do with gubmint.

That may be true, but I'm only talking high versus low. Look at the strike zone shown on the screen here. An automated strike zone would add a damn foot to the top of that zone. A foot!
Bellinger struck out swinging at a 95mph fastball at the top of the displayed zone. Imagine having to cover another foot vertically.I agree, and that's pretty much in line with what I've been trying to say. It reduces the demand on the pitcher virtually to the point where they're just restricted left/right, because the vertical aspect of the strike zone (by rule) is not hard to hit. ANY pitch that clips ANY part of that volume extending up from the plate, knees to nipples (or whatever) is a strike, which is just not even close to true now.
For a sport that wants to see more offense via juiced balls, this would be an interesting move in the opposite direction.

There seems to be an undercurrent of people who are determined for everyone to see Billy Eilish as the next Fiona Apple.
Here's the thing, though: she isn't.

It's only a matter of time before "cunt" slips out. At that point, all the proper Baylor wimmens will quietly attest to the fact that they wished POTUS didn't speak in such a locker room dialect, but they understand and appreciate what he is accomplishing.

Yes, tell us more about how Trump is the Democrats' fault while you bitch about Democrats and don't bitch about Republicans.
You're a complete joke.
Let's not forget that little issue of Trump winning the Republican nomination . . .

"Run the numbers". The go-to phrase by those who lack analytical skills. Try something else.
