  1. I’ve ridden in a couple of them as Ubers and they seemed perfectly fine to me as a passenger. If your boy is turning 16 soon-ish, I would buy before tariffs hit and drive used car prices up, but I’m sure you’ve already thought of that. I saw a Honda Prologue on the road this week and thought it looked like a pretty nice mid-size SUV. I wasn’t even aware of that model before seeing it. It’s been a number of years since owning one, but based on my experience with the brand in the past I would take a look at that one if I were in the market now.
  2. MAGA is openly hostile to our country.
  3. Lost its way? You just joined an hour ago. You’re brand new here. Or are you just a sock that doesn’t want to make your shitty takes under your real username?
  4. I’m hoping for some big downpours to wash this damn pollen away.
  5. Whatever it is, it’s more than what’s involved to be a Harris County Constable.
  6. Yeah, Tech is going to be a super late night tonight.
  7. They had to do a study to conclude that it would be cost prohibitive? I could have told them that for half whatever they paid to commission the study and given them an answer in a single ppt slide. Too bad they didn’t have that same foresight with Project Connect. How are you guys in Austin enjoying that increase in your property tax bills for the fifth year? Are y’all enjoying your subway through downtown?
  8. Yep, just checked and it’s $4 extra to my local HEB. So about the price of 11 HEB brand cage free eggs.
  9. Serious answer? Sometimes ceremonial rituals still mean something. My wife and I were together for more than a decade before we got married. It wasn’t something that was super important to us until it was. We decided we wanted that formality of a ceremony where we took vows in front of those that were closest to us. We chose a spot that was symbolically important* to us as a couple and had a ceremony there with around 40 people in attendance. Afterwards we had an amazing dinner and kick ass party with a gigantic bar tab that was worth every penny. Still one of my favorite days of my life. Tomorrow is our 6th wedding anniversary! *We chose to get married at San Francisco City Hall, which is where the first marriage licenses in support of marriage equality were issued in 2004 and, subsequently, when marriage equality was finally codified in 2015 mass wedding ceremonies were performed in celebration. When I said marriage wasn’t important to us until it was, marriage equality is one of the things that made it more important to us. Love is love and all that jazz.
  10. The Arizona game on Sunday night didn’t tip until almost 9p CT and tonight is likely the same. Two late work nights in a week makes my wife grumpy. She’s already planning a nap this afternoon and moved her personal trainer from 7a Friday to the afternoon. The eastern region is ridiculous.
  11. Well, for one, she’s dead.
  12. It does matter. True service dogs are allowed wherever their handler is allowed. I’m not talking emotional support dogs, but trained service dogs, and I’m totally okay with that.
  13. Uber Pet exists for drivers that don’t mind having a dog in their car. It’s great for when you want to take your dog to HEB.
  14. Fuck that. Even in a satirical sense, Abbott shouldn’t be compared to a national treasure.
  15. My local HEB has sandwich board signs at the entrance that state service dogs only, but I bet on half my trips I see someone that has chosen to ignore that directive. A couple of months ago, I was in the produce section and a woman had her dog on a 6ft leash with him pulling on like a sled dog scanning the floor for dropped food. I dropped a casual “your dog is so well trained” while I’m picking out my onions or whatever and she followed me around the store for five minutes after that telling me how I had no right to question her having a dog in the store. I think the lady doth protest too much.
  16. Tragic, but the headline is misleading since only one of the victims was currently working for HCSO at the time of their death. That said, one life lost to suicide is one too many and I wish we placed a greater emphasis on mental health and funded the resources to address mental illness.
  17. Rules don’t apply to republicans.
  18. Let’s also try to cripple the economy of our southern neighbor while we’re at it. That will be good for border crossings and cartel activity.
  19. I would do it just to antagonize Trump and Elon. This administration has done more to galvanize Europe in two months than since the end of WW2. Antagonizing the adults in charge on this side of the pond has only served to make Europe stronger.
  20. Every country that exports cars to the US needs to immediately slap a 100% tariff on Teslas.
  21. WTF are they doing? Venmoing Bibi with the note “Get bombed on us! 👊🇺🇸🔥”? Adults.
  22. Given that he had syringes on him, I’m guessing this guy was diverting. It’s a pretty big problem in the world of anesthesia.
