  1. big fans of the longhorn wubbanubbadubdub in this household. imminent congrats, I'm gathering
  2. Agree with you and tbone that the culture seems to be shifting here as well. And the part you highlighted is one where it seems like we could have an impact. Support childcare, stop fucking up the public schools. It's more important than almost anything else we burn "your tax dollars" on.
  3. I strongly agree that it has a ton to do with culture. And specifically with the danes (scandinavians in general?) there's a thing about the harsh winters and a culture of consensus and communal support that differs from other vacation friendly european cultures. I'm sure someone will bring up the "homogeneity 😉😜" point, which of course is not irrelevant even if it a tasty treat for xenophobes.
  4. this is probably "i'm 14 and this is deep", but i'm curious about the change in "%women participating in the workforce" alongside "number of incomes required to achieve middle class household status" over time say more, i'd be interested to read whatever studies you're referring to. I work at a danish company, anecdotally it seems like having children (and taking extended maternity leaves) is much less of an impediment to career growth for our female danish counterparts than I've seen in my experience in the US. But, that's highly speculative and anecdotal.
  5. sister’s commentary from two step inn She also mentioned Wyatt Flores as being really good
  6. Triple x doesn’t fuck around. I miss parlor enchiladas.
  7. Oh man I need more details. My mouth watered and my butthole clenched looking at this picture.
  8. in the games, I love going through vaults and figuring out just wtf was going on in there. Skeletons surrounded by ammo with a note to a girlfriend, computer terminal entries, insane clones, etc. I’m gonna start FO4 again
  9. I agree that it is really hard to have good conversations in topics like this that - legitimate topics worthy of discussion that are also vehicles for our worst people to almost talk about replacement theory, handmaid’s tale fascism, etc not accusing you (tk) of that at all
  10. People who learn things from PSAs still have children young because they think that hot tubs are an effective form of contraception. Of course you can find examples of educated women convincing themselves that it’ll be easier than it is but it may be that rather than simply forgetting to have kids women are making a rational choice. If as a society we want them to make a different choice (and if we are not a piece of shit society) we should make policy changes that impact their decision landscape.
  11. I played bass in my old band for years before switching to guitar with the addition of a new guy. There was a period where I would still play bass on the old stuff and we’d switch instruments. He kept his bass way up next to his nipples and it annoyed the shit out of me. So Charley Crockett has that bias working against him as well.
  12. That song was off the John Anderson tribute album thst came out a few years ago. That’s a great live performance
  13. I’ve tried to get into him but he sings from the top of his throat and I can’t get past that. He’s like cowboy Randy Newman.
  14. Unless education and awareness are not the problem, which I think was at least one of the points raised. Women know that they don’t have forever to have children, confusion about that is not why they’ve stopped having children at 23. and yeah the whole topic of fertility etc is gross with dudes who desperately need privilege to have worth
  15. I think more than society telling women they can have it all, society is telling women to wait until they are ready to have kids. And the bar for kid readiness is fucking high these days. just to be clear, I think that the solution has to do with the second part
  16. Saving for later - Oh cool, insta embeds work now
  17. Celery Man

    RIP Dickey Betts

    damn I was thinking Dickey Barrett for a second, this is much worse news.
  18. I read that Gibson stopped doing bench photos, which I think is sad 😢
