  1. We’ve stopped going to POC for holiday weekends. Tired of traffic backing up with guys making $70k/yr at the plant driving their $80k pickup pulling a $80k boat, both replete with “Let’s Go Brandon”, “Fuck Joe Biden”, and “MAGA” stickers. House after house with Trump 2020/2024 flags, golf cart after golf cart with blue line flags. Speedy Stop backed up out the door with fat, stupid, drunk rednecks who, at best, are simply out to enjoy a weekend where they don’t consider anyone beside themselves, but at worst, are looking for someone to try and bully or fight, littering as they go. The party of fiscal responsibility, family values, and self-reliance splayed out in all its irony. POC on holiday weekends is nothing but a political convention, highlighting the depressing reality that our state is made up of a majority of angry bigoted idiots.
  2. Add a 2-4 week waiting period to purchase any firearm and you’ve covered everything I think is reasonable and effective. Unfortunately I think we are still probably 10-15 years away from that kind of legislative overhaul being politically feasible.
  3. Just so hard for me to see MAGA turning out for Herschel. This is a barometer election and Warnock should crush Walker.
  4. Not to derail the thread but I feel you. We were spending an easy $1000/mo+ on groceries with 30% of it going to waste. It was disgusting. I sympathize with my wife because she has a lot on her plate but piling shit on top of shit in the pantry, freezer, and fridge until you don’t even know what you have is insane and wasteful as fuck. I finally took control of at least the budget piece and we are down to $600/mo.
  5. Yep, soak it in, those phases go fast. But I have enjoyed each subsequent phase more than the previous phase. Newborn and infant phases were like a drug haze in both good and bad ways. Toddlers were really fun but still very restrictive. Now mine are “little kids” and a lot more fun stuff gets unlocked. Can’t say I expect that trend to continue into the teenage years. Also, what’s with the mixture of captain crunch, mini wheats, and fruit loops?
  6. Anybody got tips on where to fish without a boat in/near Rockport? Wife and I heading down there in a few weeks.
  7. Abbott, Cornyn, and Cruz should not be able to show themselves anywhere in public for the rest of their lives without being loudly confronted and reminded of their part in blocking efforts to prevent this tragedy.
  8. Color me mildly underwhelmed so far, but I had high hopes. Ewan McGregor has been awesome. Reva so far appears horribly miscast and poorly written, and Leia has missed the mark as well. And through 2 episodes it really doesn’t feel like much has happened. Showing the transition of Jedi being ubiquitous in the PT to being all but forgotten 20 years later is difficult for this story to manage, but they’ve done ok on that with plot points like the fake Jedi. Hopefully it picks up and they are able to weave in Anakin and Qui-Gonn in a meaningful believable way.
  9. Significant tourney run; Sweet 16 at worst.
  10. Roster is fully 10 deep assuming Disu comes back. Might be nice to add an 11th guy who can play, either an Avery Benson type, a strict 3 pt shooter, or a shot blocker. But either way this roster is stacked. Beard needs to make hay.
  11. Not a gun owner but seen them answer this question enough to know there are 2 answers: ”I don’t need a reason, it’s my constitutional right.” ”To protect myself and mine from an oppressive federal government or others who intend to do me harm.”
  12. So the NRA deal went off without a hitch? Trump and Cruz got up and spoke, uninterrupted? Fuck me, this world really is nothing but ash.
  13. Cornyn responded to my email: TLDR: His response was to highlight a bunch of legislation he sponsored that obviously didn’t work. Fuck him.
  14. I called both Cornyn and Cruz, and emailed them each twice. Neither answered the phone (although I did call Cornyn after hours). I left pleading messages. I don’t expect it to do any good. But had to take some kind of immediate action.
  15. Ted Cruz gunning for King of the Pieces of Shit
  16. I am pretty surprised there haven’t been more protests/riots etc about this. Contrasted to the reaction to something like George Floyd’s murder (for which I think the resulting nationwide protest was justified), you would think 19 little children getting slaughtered while cops cowered in fear nearby would trigger a similar if not greater response.
  17. https://apple.news/AT5VsOIF9Rcu9s1iYb2G94Q This is the latest timeline I’ve seen on the response. So he wasn’t engaged at all before entering the school. Cops got there 4 minutes later, got shot at, and RETREATED. By this time or likely shortly thereafter he killed most of his victims. Then they ATTEMPTED TO NEGOTIATE, with a hostage negotiator calling the shooter and him picking up and immediately hanging up. Finally, after 40+ minutes, they went in and killed him. Heads better roll, top to bottom.
  18. They got answers for all that shit, man. Just go talk to a priest (but watch your cornhole).
  19. Coming into a message board 48 hours after 19 4th graders were shot dead and calling the people demanding preventative change “angry dipshits” is an interesting move. Look inward, homes.
  20. Yes. At least 8 organizations have signed on to protest. My opinion: if that convention is allowed to go on uninterrupted (or at all), this state has no soul. Im no political activist but am discussing with my wife traveling to Houston tomorrow.
  21. For the past 48 hours the only thing I have been able to think about at all is that it could have been my precious innocent beautiful little daughter, paralyzed by fear as the shooter walked in, and the last thought going through her mind being “daddy come save me”, and me not being there. This one is really fucking me up.
  22. 0% chance Walker shows up to debate Warnock.
  23. I fucking hate Ted Cruz, but that’s fake.
