    I'm sorry.  Someone healthy, under 40, with 6 or 7X vax antibodies plus 3 or 4X natural antibodies (in a 3.5 year period) getting a prescription drug that is not recommended for them (i.e., no "high risk") is not "cautious". It's a complete inability to understand or evaluate risk.

    No need to be sorry. I would agree with your assessment. I just don't really see the issue, I guess.

  2. I still think Antifa/Illegal Immigrant insurance was the way to go. Could've singlehandedly wiped out the Boomer's nest eggs.

    For just $3.99 a month, you can rest easy knowing that if an antifa or illegal damages you or your property, you will be covered.

    So what's it say because I deleted Xitter

    Mitchell is credited with devising the novel enforcement mechanism in the Texas Heartbeat Act, also known as Senate Bill 8 (or SB 8), which outlaws abortion after cardiac activity is detected and avoids judicial review by prohibiting government officials from enforcing the statute and empowering private citizens to bring lawsuits against those who violate it.[4][5] On September 1, 2021, the Supreme Court of the United States refused to enjoin the enforcement of SB 8, marking the first time that a state had successfully imposed a pre-viability abortion ban since Roe v. Wade.[6]

    Mitchell has argued five times before the Supreme Court of the United States and authored the principal merits brief in eight Supreme Court cases.[1] Mitchell has also written amicus curiae briefs in the Supreme Court. In Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, Mitchell and a colleague urged the Supreme Court to overrule Roe v. Wade, arguing that overturning Roe should eventually lead to the reversal of other "lawless" court decisions such as those establishing a right to same-sex marriage (Obergefell v. Hodges), while distinguishing and defending the right to interracial marriage recognized in Loving v. Virginia.[13] [14]

    What are you doing in this thread now, btw? Or what do you think you're doing?

    Explaining that the account has a political agenda and pushes propaganda. Given that you were unaware, I hope it helped.

    Unregistered twitter users aren't allowed that sort of access so you'll have to find someone who enjoys posting and/or browsing a white supremacist website to engage in that sort of fuckery. I'm wholly reliant upon my belief and understanding that @viper is a credible and reliable poster on this here website. If he's not, or if it's not news and/or not accurate then obviously the tale turns and y'all should turn your fire, so to speak, in another direction. As for "policing," you've got it entirely assbackwards.

    Well, I was able to access it without an account. Appreciate the implication, though. 

    You're right, maybe policing isn't the best term. Perhaps "hissy fit" better describes your reactions to the criticism and RomaVicta making an appearance.

    But discussing tit-for-tat was you, wasn't it? You could've left it alone. Or perhaps I misunderstand and you're arguing that the release of a video capturing a kid trying to lure a soldier into being unprepared and then stab the soldier, only to wind up getting gunned down, isn't news?

    The point of that post was not to spread "news." It was to show that Palestinian descriptions of Israeli violence are propaganda. Take a look at that woman's last 10 "tweets" and come back and continue to argue with a straight face that she is a purveyor of "news."

    While we're on the subject, who commissioned you to police this thread?

  7. Like most societal issues that are dropped onto the lap of the criminal justice system to "solve," the drug issue is a housing, economic, mental health, and medical crisis that needs to be addressed at all levels. By the time they reach the CJ system, its kinda too late.

    We don't have the stomach to actually address the issue, so we make half-hearted efforts  - a local proposition here, a tax increase there, a ribbon cutting ceremony at a treatment facility - but the underlying and systemic issues remain.

    Texas is, like most states, multi layered social strata where those low statistics mean nothing for us softy suburban guys. The poors and strugglers will always be there and always have but they are invisibile. Not sure why this thread exists, what's the point. 

    keep in mind that the whole damn world and other Americans are moving TO TEXAS in droves.  ++ biggest corporations in the world.

    yeah, failed state, no.  Bad thread. 

    Did I miss a memo that went out? That's the second poster in a week who, when faced with statistics showing hardships endured by the poor, says "meh, people have always been poor, not our concern."

    you jest ...

    I have 4 or 5 Michigan buds that I've known 30-40 years.  Some of the most quality people I've ever met. These would be among the smartest guys in the room. I probably have more friends from Michigan fitting that criteria than from Austin.  That's one reason I'm looking forward to going to Ann Arbor this year.

    A couple of them would shred the Double Black Diamonds at Taos, screaming like a sewing machine going down "Al's Run", with moguls the size of Volkswagens.

    One stood up in my wedding in the 80's; I introduced him to his wife.  On the drive from Houston to Austin for a Texas football game, he drank 5 beers before we got to Columbus. I'll be hanging with him before the game next year.

    One a was fellow young engineer at a competing gas processing plant in South Louisiana, kindred spirits in bringing new ideas to facilities built in the 50's.

    One was affectionately referred to as "the professor" by fellow employees and colleagues; he referred me to PhD's in my company, to get help understanding a dense phase "hydraulics" issue.

    One has a summer home in Maine. I'll see him this summer.

    I recognize that not all representatives are quality, but the % of the ones I've met fitting in that group puts the Victors at the top of the list.

    How many of them are named Bill Brasky?
