  1. LMFAO. Congratulations, you're an idiot.
  2. No, I'm pushing back on the idea that facemasks should be banned, given that they weren't. Keep up, sack.
  3. Overnight camping. That's the pearl-clutching of the day. Try to keep up.
  4. NOBODY TRIED TO TURN IT INTO A TENT CITY. For fuck's sake. Respond to the action, not the imagined action.
  5. 2002? Really? Again, did you pay attention to what happened in spring 2020? Were facemasks BANNED then, or were they eventually REQUIRED?
  6. I'm not fond of the no-tent "rule", but why not (and I know this is crazy talk) wait until they refuse to take down the few tents that were actually up?
  7. How in the blue hell is it legal or even desirable to ban facemasks on campus? Has anyone been paying attention the last four years?
  8. Why would he do that? He'd see it as being weak and hypocritical, and he'd be right in that assessment.
  9. Can someone explain to me like I'm pre-K why rising home prices would drive rates higher? I can see how rates could affect pricing, but the reverse seems odd to me.
  10. I'm here to help all my friends who struggle to make ends meet, especially with avocados being so expensive. I don't, but our older daughter (who is a cosmetologist) has been known to get out the old clippers every now and again for the boys. Would you like her card? She can do your eyelashes, too.
  11. Well, that's just stupid. What a businessman.
  12. Young college students at a somewhat progressive university, which is the demographic I was referring to, tend to latch onto one issue. Right now, that's Israel's continued actions in Gaza and the West Bank and the United States' refusal to lean on Bibi and the gang. Roe V Wade is done, and is off the table. Unionization is completely foreign to them. Legalized weed might move the needle.
  13. Maybe you can find something more consistent with your budget on one of these websites: Groupon restaurant.com
  14. I can easily leave Texas. Leaving the US is a completely different kettle of fish. It's a false choice, but Abbott in the Governor's office is far more tolerable than Trump in the White House.
  15. That would be to create a shelf stable canned (Mason jar) product, right? I'd just freeze mine.
  16. Most boys would be devastated if their Dad blew off attending graduation. In this case, I wouldn't be surprised if Barron were relieved.
  17. Fuck. My first cousin's husband is a Charlotte cop. I was going to post about him in the Simms/Esiason thread on Football, but I figured it didn't matter that much. He played with Bill Cowher at NC State, and they remain close.
  18. This is 100% correct. I've had the conversations, multiple times, with at least a couple of dozen new voters. They won't vote for Trump, but they won't vote for Biden, either. I'm talking smart, educated students, but they're naive and unaware of the nuance of what is going on. Biden will suffer because of it.
  19. The majority of Americans have lived paycheck to paycheck for decades. It's probably a bit worse now, but I suspect it's also a big driver in the R->D->R->D swings we see over time. Push back against the incumbent, because "it's the economy, stupid".
  20. Not actually true, it depends on the song. At times she was absolutely breath-taking. (Cue the "Wild Heart" singalong while she was getting her makeup done before an appearance.)
  21. I have to laugh at the slogan on Valentina's uncashed paychecks due to zero funds (courtesy KXAN):
  22. They literally paid her to shut up nearing an impending election. That's of material value to the campaign, and well above allowable limits. How is that not a violation?
  23. Let's not fool ourselves. If some grad school dipshit from the Linguistics Department (we have one?) had pitched a tent (uh huh huh) on the South Lawn one year ago, nothing would have ever been done about it. People would point and laugh like they used to point and laugh at Leslie. This is all about controlling the message and falling in line with the Governor.
