Yeah this sucks shit. I'm a home builder and all my subs live way on in the exurbs because they can afford it. - Buda, Bastrop, Salado, San Marcos, Lockhart.This is such a Pete idea. Fucking horrible.
They already take it in the ass by having to get up an hour early to beat traffic into West Austin on tollroads that used to be free.

Go fuck yourself on both points.It seems like you most if not all of the PC closely. What would you consider was the toughest question he faced?
Biden wasn't the most eloquent. Or punchy in responses, but he clearly displayed a pretty high level of understanding of world events and policy far exceeding the last 12 years of Republican Presidency. Why don't you sit the fuck out for awhile and if Biden starts acting even half as incompetent as Trump- well then you can feel free to bitch without looking like a completely full of shit fuck face. All due respect to fuckfaces. -
Agreed.Seriously though, the US is awesome because it’s ridiculously easy to start a business.
It's also shitty because of few consumer protections.
I'm a builder and in Texas the consumer protections are worth shit. Luckily for my customers I give a shit, do things correctly and thus sleep well at night. I could easily retire a decade earlier just by half assing shit and underpaying. The level of liscensing and inspection outside major cities is a joke. A booger eating moron, can be a builder for a 5 million dollar home simply by someone being dumb enough to hire them. -
Gross.I dunno, I'd pay up to $3.50/mo to get her to try to fist herself. Not to fap to, but just to see the anguish in her face as she tries. "Yeah bitch, that's what you did to America. Now sit and spin."
Secondly several fat ass Huckabeef spawn have passed through there. A fist should he easy peasy. -

Appreciate all the info and I'm stoked to give this a go. I can ski or ride all day on lift served with no problem, but for that kind of trip I will definetly do some extra training months prior. It will be a great fitness motivator/ reward.Yep. This is who we used. First class operation. Can't say enough good things. They know their shit. And they know that area like the back of their hand.
[mention=2205]Born to Run[/mention] regarding ability, they did a great job of tailoring the trip according to ability. I'm a good, but not great, skier. I can handle blacks and moguls, but I'm not super fluid and I don't do the double black diamond stuff. I had skied in powder before, but not like that. It took some getting used to. For example, I veered off to the side and the chopper pick-up location on one run, and took my skis off and sank to my chest in powder. By the third run, I was more comfortable and started taking more aggressive lines that actually helped all around. If I did it again, it would be a completely different mindset.
The group that we were paired with (husband and wife) were amazing skiers. The husband skied competitively in his younger days. We had two runs where the chopper dropped me and my buddy off at the normal launch point, then took the guide and the two of them up to a more difficult segment that ran down to us. It was a blast to watch them carve up those steep areas between rocks.
To me, the most critical part is physical aptitude. If you can't ski all day, or if you're out of shape, don't do it. You need to be ready for getting after it to make the trip enjoyable. So, to summarize, if you're a high-intermediate skier in good shape, you'll be fine. Anything less than that, and I don't think it would be very enjoyable.
One of the ideas tossed about in our group was a back country training certification in advance of a split boarding trip- f that.

Nice.San Juan Mountains. Just north of Telluride. Chopper flew out of Mountain Village.
How much- if you don't mind me asking?
What level of skier/ rider do you need to be. We have a couple really good riders in our group and a few that only ride blues and blue level tree runs and blacks in powder. We are kicking around ideas for 2022 for a 40th birthday trip several years late.

Still finding 2' deep powder in the trees today. So many clean fresh lines 4 days later.We're getting there Wednesday to snowboard Thursday thru the weekend. Looks perfect. Glad the road up the pass in is good shape.
Hopefully it doesn't start crusting up with the warm up.
The trees just right of the Alberta lift are sweet.

We did square dancing in Houston in the 80s. And that rad giant parachute.Alabama is stupid world.
Lots of schools still have fucking square dancing during PE but heaven forbid we teach some foreign chanty stretchy exercises!!!! Kids might learn weird foreign words and shit.
But it was at a very diverse elementary so we also had some badass double dutch girls jump rope but also a fun game called "tackle the man with the ball" aka ______* name redacted -

That would suck if my first trip to WC has a dump event just north. Normally absent covid I do Monarch, WP or Aspen area bc WC is a pain in the ass to get to.I'm not sure how far south and west the storm is going to track. It's going to be focused on the Front Range (east of the Divide), but it looks like just about everyone is going to get some snow out of it.
Still snow tho
Fingers crossed -

I actually think this would benefit a populist version of the GOP and especially 2020 Trump. It's been well documented that he picked up a lot of first time voters that know nothing of the process. Completely ancedotely, but when I monitored my local polling place just about every person that tried to vote without ever having registered, was there to vote for Trump. One yelled "Trump Train" , another "Trump 2020"on the way out expecting some WWE send off.I love this foreign concept to the Fox News crowd that people voting is a bad thing. Republican leaning voters will also sign up to use mail-ins, take part in early voting, register the day of (how much of that even happens), and use online options to register to vote. Yeah, it's only libtards who do any of these things. Oh hey look, Trumps just petitioned for a mail-in ballot in Florida. But still, that's bad for others.
We really need a strong messaging/psa campaign in addition to this bill. Tons of kids registered at thier college in another county didnt realize you can't just vote anywhere. Plenty of adults too. -

All the Hebs I've been to in Houston have off duty cops. East Austin the same. Even the Far West location has APD by the exit which I always found odd.OK, so 2000 confrontations, but how many arrests? I know they have security, but I said “armed” security. I’m guessing most HEB’s don’t have that and until you put some teeth behind the policy, a bunch of baggers and checkout clerks yelling at anti-maskers isn’t going to do shit. I’ve routinely watched HEB employees turn a blind eye to plenty of maskless people they could’ve confronted. -
The thought of doing that terrifies me. Granted I grew up in Houston with early 90s HPD, but still.
It is never too late to make a complaint. You need a trail of ignored complaints for some future fucked over peep to have a puncher’s chance at Monell liability.
Always make a complaint. Not for you. For all of us.

After 3 years of Hillary in office do you think the 45% pro Trump portion of the country would follow her derectives and wear masks and social distance with the grievance hate machine going 24/7?Repair? Improve? Help them to evolve in a positive direction?
Semantics.
After Obama won re-election in 2012, Bobby Jindal (of all people) called the GOP “The Party of Stupid,” a term I’d never heard before. Did he coin the phrase? I don’t know. But he warned that they needed to reconsider their ideology to appeal to a more diverse electorate if they were going to survive. Instead they won the Presidency in 2016 with Trump going full racist and that warning was laid to rest. If Hillary had won then I think that warning would’ve been heard and positive changes would’ve been made in GOP ideology.
Also, tens of thousands of dead Americans would still be alive. Maybe hundreds of thousands.
Or would they host infection freedom parties and burn mask and lynch Hillary manequins? -
You should go take Texas history on the 40.carpet bagging fuck stain . . . Texas Republican party to a tee.
go back to Florida Allen West
go back to Canada (or Cancun) Ted Cruz
go back to Maryland Danny Patrick (Goeb)
go back to Virgina Ken Paxton (and stop fucking every member of Donna Campbell's staff, you horny cross-eyed little fucker)
The Texas I grew up in was a good place before you culture war cocksuckers showed up. Please leave.
Rough times for sure

As a recovering Catholic I always enjoyed my dad's alter boy stories about spinning the incense overhead in a 360 pretty funny.Yeah, that's where it's at, clouds of incense.
Big disappointment that protestant churches interpret "frankincense and myrrh" as "drop ceilings and fluorescent lights."
The probable molestation stories - less so. -

Sure, but people have fucked upped back stories, shitty support systems and mental illness.It's a running joke on here, but [mention=115]Johnny Sack[/mention] isnt wrong when he says:
1) make it thru high school
2) dont get pregnant before 21
3) dont use drugs
3b) dont abuse alcohol
And you will not be living in the gutter. You wont be in the pen. You wont be one of the statistics. You might not get fucked by Bidens tax plan, but you wont be eating shit of a dumpster and sucking dick to get a fix. It's really that simple.
I make ends well enough, not 1% or even close: most of the successful people I know breezed through several of those Sack items by being Middle class or better and having connections. Myself included and I grew up lower middle class with solid parents. I was lucky as fuck. Dealt with Drugs, booze, abortion whether I wanted to or not. All around me.
All of it went much easier if you're affluent white. In my experience.
