I've never taken a uber or Lyft or whatever ride app for this reason. Some may say it's a control issue. I say it's a "I don't want to die in the back of a Hyundai sonata today" issue.
'splain? not getting the rideshare>>crushed in a crowd angle?

One day, one of those guys (fucked up out of his mind) went all the way into the back sliding door of a woman at home during the day with her baby while older kid and husband were off at school. Freaked the fuck out of her obviously and she probably would have shot him (home had multiple weapons) but for a yard crew that noticed the guy and knocked on her door to help. Homeless dude ended up running away. The next weekend, that husband put a posse together to go walk to that encampment and kick those guys out. And it worked. But that was a different time.
it sure was lol

You guys thinking proposition B isn’t gonna pass just do not understand this town and it’s NIMBY politics well enough and are thinking it won’t pass because of “dumb Libs.” Wrong. It will pass easily. This isn’t San Francisco.
The bigger worry is our dumbass city council full of fit lumps telling APD to ignore it which they probably will for the most part. Then what?
i mean, yeah, just listen to the lady in the video: "every time i have to pick up human shit, my liberalness goes down a notch."
Prop B is passing. what good it will do based on our leaders, we'll see.
ETA: i wouldn't live anywhere else in this state. if Austin's a shithole, it's the best shithole in a state full of shitholes lol.

Viewership of "the Oscars" down almost 60 percent. That's a good sign. Even Americans are realizing how shitty and moronic Hollywood has become.
maybe. or, hear me out...maybe very few movies were released last year and maybe even fewer people actually went to see them. 🤨

were all the movies just depressing as hell last year?? seems like it...i didn't see a single one, in any category. that's a first for me. guess 2020 was hard enough as it was lol
i can't believe Glenn Close has never won an Oscar.

I saw a story about that. It's a Philadelphia/Delaware County accent. It's extremely weird and not even that common in Philly anymore. Hardly anyone attempts to do it for tv/film. The earmark of it seems to be the pronunciation of "water" as "wooter" and similar.
Here's the article. https://slate.com/culture/2021/04/mare-of-easttown-kate-winslet-philadelphia-accent.html
From time to time, Hardy just lets his Brit accent, which I think is East End London, kind of similar to cockney, bleed through. Most of the time when he does it, it's intentional/appropriate, as it might have been in Revenant because those people weren't far removed from Great Britain anyway.
Nicole Kidman, on the other hand, lets some Oz slip through occasionally, and then it's a flat mistake.
cool read.
yeah, of all British/Aussie actors that do American accents, Kidman is definitely the worst.
ok, this clip from the Revenant, you can hear it twice here from Hardy...
the way he says 'know' at about 1:35, and then 'no' at 1:52. Kate is doing the same sound, to my ear.
it's not bothersome, in her case i can def tell she's trying to do a regional accent... the main reason i mentioned it is bc it is one of the things i distinctly remember from Hardy in The Revenant, he sounded it more modern somehow, it stuck out.
anyway, sorry for the sidebar, was just interesting 🙂
-
Kate's doing that thing with her accent that Tom Hardy did in The Revenant... hard to describe, it's like their o's are really long or something. i wonder if it's a particular trick to make a British accent more American/regional.

our first time...lot of work but was mostly fun to get to socialize with a group for the first time in over a year...had a blast! 😁
afterwards we distributed gloves and had a 'pick party'...so i've got about 1 1/2-2lbs of leftover tail meat...
etouffe is the obvious choice, also eyeing a chowder recipe (which also uses the leftover pots/corn)... any recommendations?

i agree that the two bands idea doesn't seem long-lived.
less likely but possible, it evolves into something completely different - a funky, MOB or drumlne type thing. i'm sure there are or will be restrictions on where they can play, but something fun during Longhorn City Limits or something is not unfathomable.

meh, it would just make the poster say 'see?? neg cabal! mean!' 🙄 plus y'all would probably end up with a timeout yourselves and then i'd feel guilty 😋
anyway...it's not too hard to find, the thread is on the first page...maybe i'm being overly sensitive, but the ridiculousness just pissed me off.

this is fantastic 😄

honestly doesn't seem the same at all 🤔🤨
'my body my choice' - effects me.
anti-vax - effects me and literally everybody i come in contact with.
not looking for an abortion debate, just think that's a false equivalency on the simplest level.
