  1. Let's call him what he is. An evangelical. Evangelicals are no different than Islamic terrorists. It's way past time we start treating them as such instead of giving them a pass due to their inherent stupidity. Their insanity is not harmless.
  2. Chinese settings weren't activated.
  3. Most intelligent species, indeed.
  4. I spend time in all three bodies of water as well, but Town Lake is the only one I work hard to stay on the surface of. I'll occasionally kayak it or embarrass myself on a paddle board, but I'm not swimming in it. I can't remember where I found the info, but Town Lake is decidedly more disgusting than Lake Austin or Lake Travis based on every possible measurement. Given its location in an urban center, this really shouldn't be a surprise. To be fair, Lake Travis and especially Lake Austin are both fairly gross too, but nothing compared to Town Lake. Never mind the toxic algae, the sewage, and the commercial pollutants. The volume of STDs in Town Lake, based on the crowd that spends the most time in that water, must be staggering. We might end up ground zero for the next sexually transmitted pandemic based on what's brewing in those waters.
  5. No one talks about manopause, but that shit is real.
  6. Who knew Operation Weserübung would have such far-reaching implications? Fucking Norwegians, man.
  7. We're special, haven't you heard?
  8. Definitely of a piece.
  9. Give it time, give it time.
  10. Of course, we can't do that. We can only overcorrect every time and vacillate between two extremes of stupidity. It's more American than apple pie and baseball. We lost some family members in assisted living facilities during the COVID pandemic who likely died much earlier than they would have due to isolation. It sucks, but I also understand that during the first and second year of the pandemic there was a great deal of trial and error trying to figure out how to handle things best, and there is never going to be a solution that is 100% perfect for everyone. Don't forget how many old folks in New York assisted living facilities died due to contracting COVID in the early days. Nowhere to store the bodies, there were so many. Understandably, the response was to lock down those facilities around the country as the disease was becoming more widespread, and there is no doubt, based on those early numbers, that many lives were also saved because of this. How anything got done at all, given how dysfunctional the federal and most state governments were/are is kind of amazing. But yeah, the response wasn't perfect. How could it possibly have been? It's hilarious for people, especially Texans of a particular political bent, to be complaining about what went down as if they were being oppressed when their man was in the white house and their other men were in the governor's, lieutenant governor's, and AG's offices. Who exactly was oppressing them? Mean people on Twitter?
  11. It would be a rare thing indeed to meet someone on a jet ski who isn't a collosal piece of narcisistic shit. I don't know the why of it, but that just comes with the territory. They are a cancer on just about any body of water. Apparently the same rule applies in Venezuela.
  12. This joke just keeps writing itself. Holy shit.
