so i've been waiting to post this because i've been fucking furious about it. austin police is a fucking joke. fuck you all. just a complete fucking joke of an organization. last weekend, my in laws were robbed. burgled. whatever. some dude broke into their house. then that dude let in another dude. luckily, my in laws were out for the evening. anyways, at 2:30ish in the am, first guy is seen on ring. 3:30ish in the am, another dude shows up with a goddamn hammer and starts in on the front door, before (presumably) he is let in by the other guy. no real camera activity until 8:30ish in the morning, when one of the dudes is loading up one of my inlaws cars, wearing my father in law's clothes, boots, $300 hat. neighbor (elderly gentleman) wielding a freshly cut bamboo pole confronts the car thief as he's getting in the car. thier speeds off, nearly dragging neighbor with him. guy speeds off, police are called. 8:30am. stolen car. oh well. possible drunk/high perp driving at high speed. oh well. oh, they robbed the house. oh well. anyways, i arrive to help them clean up around 9:30, expecting to see multiple police cruisers on the scene. haha. nothing. the dudes tossed their house. i mean, i guess, luckily my in-laws are not super well off, but they work fucking hard and their stuff is fucking theirs. but there were no guns to take, no major valuables. just the car and some clothes, som broken stuff. they took a shower in there, changed clothes, left behind all their old clothes, wallet, drug periphenalia, condoms, whatever. they raided the fridge and threw full beer cans around. they ate provolone and chocolate. it was a strange scene. sampled various nice things from the liquor cabinet, ruining probably more than $1000 worth of booze. i helped clean up. hours pass. no cops show up. there's a police report, and suddenly mom in law asks me if she should handle her car insurance. i told her if it made her feel useful to call the insurance and report it stolen, but the police already had the report, so she needn't worry at that moment, etc. well, she wanted to feel useful, so she called, and... there has been an injury accident reported with her vehicle to her insurance. the motherfucker hit someone. we have pics from nextdoor of police on the scene of the accident. the car is totaled. booze all over the car. happened in the morning. still, nobody from apd has showed up at the house. the meth head walked away toward 183, presumably never to be heard from again until his next shining moment of breaking in and stealing shit is once again unpunished. anyways, by and by, i leave. shit's mostly cleaned up and most importantly, the inlaws are more at ease. i guess. as i am driving home, i idly notice that a police cruiser has pulled someone over not 5 minutes away from their house. looks like a speeding ticket or something. nevermind the victimized family minutes away, get that money, apd! anyways, the police showed up at 11:30pm. so, robbery, stolen vehicle, injury accident, perp on the loose, oh well. we'll just show up IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING NIGHT AFTER A BREAK IN. WHAT COULD GO WRONG? needless to say, my father in law answered the door with a baseball bat. cops are shining lights in his eyes, etc. it all ended more or less amicably with my father in law telling them to fuck off. eventually, the police came by to collect the items left by the perps. car was totaled. hat was recovered from the scene of the wreck. well done, apd. not only did you not bother to try and catch the guys, by the way, whose faces are clear on the ring doorbell footage you were offered, but declined to even view it. a pretty hip south austin neighborhood was fairly traumatized by these two methheads, but no cops bothered to show up to even, i dunno, pretend they were on the fucking case and gave a shit about the residents of the neighborhood? casual neglect might get you a few extra concessions in your negotiations, but you get a hearty forever fuck you from me for dereliction of duty. fuck you apd. you suck.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
hayden_horn replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
god it's so cringey even by the standards of the time -
yeah, there's a very real peril. twd fell down when the characters (really, the actors) became bigger than the story. @naija said this: that's exactly the difference between the walking dead and the last of us. the walking dead became a zombie show. this is a character story with zombies. big difference.
-
yeah, it's one of the defining characteristics of the game and part of what made it iconic. we can joke about clickers or hunters or whatever, but you want to joke about henry and sam, and we might have to have a sit down. that's what made the game so fucking great. it was the space in between the zombie rush/hunter killing that really hooked you. gameplay is pretty average. scarcity was a fun challenge, as was collecting the comics, etc. but i wasn't in it for the next bloater/gun upgrade or my typical ocd gamer collecting self that end out making the games not as much fun. i was in this one to fucking win it and see all the story, because that was the value. i don't know how they've managed to do such a good job on the show so far, but i don't want to jinx anything.
-
it's pretty much an all or nothing moment whenever one of those shows up. you scrounge around and stab people and runners in the neck so you can save every scrap you find and then throw everything you've got at a bloater. afterwards, time to scrounge around for all the craft shit again.

Another balloon object shot down over Alaska
hayden_horn replied to JesusSweatDuck's topic in Daily Texan
the mighty ships tore across the empty wastes of space and finally dived screaming on to the first planet they came across - which happened to be the Earth - where due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog.- 301 replies

Another balloon object shot down over Alaska
hayden_horn replied to JesusSweatDuck's topic in Daily Texan

Republicans get owned in their Weaponization Hearings
hayden_horn replied to Satchel's topic in Cloak Room
holy shit my night is ruined I'm gonna go get high off my fave and watch conspiracy shows now i have never heard it characterized thusly, like a guy losing money on a fight he thought was fixed. that's fucking brilliant and i actually think you are onto something about not accounting for higher turnout in their cheating calculations -
I'm so close to negging this post You saw a story gaining traction the internet? How old are you? 70+? Jesus christ

Thing$ $till not going well for Joe Rogan, I $ee.
hayden_horn replied to Parliament's topic in Cloak Room
this is what i was trying to explain to poe on the lgbtq+ thread. you don't have to think you're a bigot to sound like or even to be a bigot. do i think rogan is an active antisemite who wants to wear swastikas, carry a tiki torch and chant "the jews will not replace us?" maybe. maybe not. but let's suspend disbelief for about five minutes and entertain the idea that joe is in fact a meathead dumbass who just said an ignorant, bigoted thing without accompanying hatred or whatever. the comment is still antisemitic regardless of intent. that's the whole fucking point of living and growing as a person - say stupid shit, learn why it was some stupid shit and move forward. but saying that "jews like money" is some jimmy the greek "black people have extra muscles or some shit" kind of mess. like, you have to go after that. you learn and you move on. but sometimes part of learning is the "finding out" part of the equation. -
why is all economic growth based on a pyramid scheme? why have we never thought through the possibility that we did it?
-
well, i think it really has to do primarily with how we have structured our entire society around an idea of money being necessarily scarce because population is ever-growing, meaning that all resources are necessarily growing more scarce to feed the fucking monkey, man. what if we thought about society as a means to elevate all of us, instead of a few? what if we based our entire economic model around achieving sustainability and abundance so we can all fucking relax and live the good life? oh, right because we are broken humans. all of us. broken.

this is it, in a nutshell. we are in a weird inflection point where we still feel like we need 40 hours out of an intellectual economy as though we are putting rear views in cars on the line. i actually think that until we have real reform in the work week, we simply will continue to see this decline. i could conceivably do my job in 20 hours a week. i would probably be more productive with 4 hours of work a day rather than (the pretense of) 8. i tell you what i cannot do: raise another child. 2 was almost impossible. they are now 15 and 14 and impossible in different ways, but covid really highlighted how fucked everything is regarding our priorities. it's also part of the reason you are seeing real reform in the workplace, and some of the european benchmarks that americans used to despise are starting to become more normal. don't get me wrong, american work culture is still toxic as fuck, and i'm a big result of that, as a 44 year old dude. came into the workforce during a major recession following college, found an unrewarding career with what looked like a dead end future (boy was i right about that), moved to japan, which has perhaps the most toxic work culture in the world. anyways, i see things now like 3 months of paternal leave, and i'm amazed. i'm jealous, but i'm not mad for kids today - they deserve it like we did. i'm just glad they can grow up with that. i had two preemies. for the first i think i took three days of parental leave, because any more than that and i would be digging into vacation. he was in the nicu for 3 weeks. i got three days. for my second, i had to take fmla during another recession. my wife ended up having to take a job at their daycare and interrupt her career in order to for us to make ends meet before they reached school age. just thousands and thousands of dollars going out the door, and we were fortunate to have help. all because i had to be at work 40 hours a week for a fucking escrow job. lol. i would've probably had more kids if 1) my wife was medically safe to have them, and 2) i made about double what i do now, 15 years after my first. no wonder people don't want babies.

it underlined what a racket the west 6th dui money pit is. but it also highlighted that the common man never gets a fair shake. ward was on the radio the next day and charges were dropped by drive time. most of the rest of us are fired as we show up at work the next day straight from downtown. please note i do not fault him for using any connections he could to get out from under the state's ridiculous dui revenue machine.

still, that's some bullshit. you don't have to like someone for a fight to be reasonably fair, even if the guy deserves it. that door guy has a lot to answer for in my opinion. you have a psycho wielding a stick outside your bar. you're on 6th. the only reason you throw that guy out there is so he can fight an unfair fight. cops should be there any second, just wait out the stick guy. then, when the unarmed guy starts getting the upper hand with the stick, the door guy fucking grabs it. what the hell dude. once, i almost got arrested in leidseplein during a near riot during a street fight. short version: dude is ejected from club, resists, loses the fight, and is on his hands and knees in the street. out of the club, defeated, got what he deserved, i reckon. then one of the bouncers takes a running start and just free kicks the guy's head. near everyone went around went from slightly interested bystander to a very vocal enemy of the club right then in that moment. as the police were arresting the guy on the stretcher, i was trying to tell them it wasn't a fair fight and the guy had given up when the guy took a free run kick at him. that's when the dutch police said to me "you don't tell me what happened. i tell you what happened." me and my boss tried again and the ams cop basically implied i could join the unconscious guy if i wanted to keep talking about it. police be police no matter where you are. never talk to them ever.

i accidentally happened on the first episode, where he kind of explains himself sort of about what happened near the end of his time at klbj. sadly, it wasn't too introspective, and he's got a lot of mental health work to do, but hopefully he eases into it and gets comfortable. always felt he had so much more to offer if he could just get out of his own way. starting off with fucking art acevedo as a guest is not the best way to win over a common man fan though, i will tell you that much. it's good to have friends in high places (ask jeff ward) but i think dale's impression of that relationship is extremely naive. but whatever, ain't my business. jeff ward hasn't changed too terribly much and i think that's a good thing? i haven't decided, because i can only really catch podcasts these days, and his is weird and janky and edited all strange.

that's weird, because beaujolais is already a cheap merlot with a beaujolais label.
-
he's got ted's looks too. just a trifecta. so the republicans will probably elect him because he's fucking terrible and insistent on tearing shit down. which i guess is a platform. or a bonfire. whichever.

nevertheless, it was a rhetoric masterclass put on by a "confused old man"
-
no shit, and biden was fucking masterful at playing them into showing out their division. for such a befuddled old man, he sure seems pretty clever.
