  1. the people attacking higher education always seem to forget these same institutions managed to produce THEM.
  2. just kidding. maybe. lol. i dunno. it has its place. my experience is just that, mine. i was a feral child who became an unsupervised adolescent who became a pretty reckless young adult...but it all lead eventually to my 'now' which is not bad at all. at least that's how it looks to me from here. i know some people have a lot more unpleasant memories, surely plenty of them women. i really was just trying to offer another perspective altogether to reassure some posters, in the context of this group and this discussion.
  3. as a female who 1) drank a good amount in college, and 2) had plenty of sex in college, often after/while drinking, allow me to say that i do not look back on any of those instances and think 'i think i was sexually assaulted'. mostly, i look back on those days the same as y'all - fondly and with a healthy amount of cringe. the only time i felt disturbed in any way was a frat party (can't remember which, but one of the smaller ones), where i ended up separated from my friend, in an upstairs room and suddenly decided i did not want to be there anymore, and the 'gentleman' who had escorted me upstairs thought it would be a good time to play a game of 'block the door/keep her from leaving'. so whichever of you assholes that was, sorry-not sorry for kicking you in the balls and running.
  4. now see...this is when TYL is funny.
  5. @PenelopeWitherspoon i am sure the fried chicken will be one of our selections! i saw they also have a 'TexMex Duck Breast' which i cannot even imagine what that may be likeπŸ˜„ but that reminds me, i do have a question for you since you've visited Paris so much...we are going to be traveling around France for like 11 days, from one side to the other, and obviously i expect we will be eating a variety of delicious FRENCH cuisine. so since we are going to be eating so many 'french' meals, i thought it might be fun to try something different...and i'm actually really curious about french mexican food haha. not their version of TexMex, but like actual French-Mexican - have you tried any place like that, or do you have a recommendation? interestingly there seem to be quite a few mexican restaurants (not including things like Chipotle)...along with soul food, cajun, and bbq. i just think it's interesting to see what American cuisines end up over there besides the standard hamburger of course. anyway, i doubt we'll try any of those...but i am actually pretty curious what French-Mexican food might be like! πŸ™‚
  6. reminds me of a Bill Burr bit...something about knowing to put the adjective in the right place... ha, found it:
  7. me, too. but Trump is a giant stupid, malignant, shit-filled baby who can't handle a joke and so here we are, 10 years later. thanks, Obama.
  8. k i was moved to actually find some pics. these are mostly the last few years before we moved, but some are obviously older. i really got into hiking local parks during covid lol. i think this was a ksu game? not sure... but obviously we won 🀘 my backyard: my back: obviously: view out my office window last five years before i retired: shoal creek: Hoover's...before Mack lost the plot lol: and this is a 3-D printed map of Austin. friends got us one of Denver as a housewarming gift and i loved it so much i got one of Austin. they hang directly opposite each other in my dining room...
