  1. I'm also the parent of two IVF children, and the issue of how to handle frozen embryos is definitely a complicated one, with no historical precedent for the legal and moral questions it raises. I'll share our journey regarding what happened with our frozen embryos someday if anyone is interested, but for now I'll just say this is truly one of the few new things under the sun in a long time when it comes to large moral/ethical questions. Alabama can eat a big bag of southern fried dicks for jumping on this opportunity to simplify it down to something that will appease the unwashed and ignorant masses.
  2. Fuck that inbred piece of shit state, Tommy Tubberville, and anyone else associated with it. The fact Texas is desperately fast-tracking to become Alabama 2.0 is disheartening.
  3. Bound to happen any day now.
  4. Why does every nutbag of this ilk involve the Jews in their addle-brained ramblings? I don't intend to be crude about it, as this is clearly schizophrenia or some similar psychotic condition if it's not a gag, but I do find it interesting how often Mossad and/or the Jewish people are invoked as some type of tormentor in the minds of people who go off the deep end. Where does this shit come from, reading neonazi websites or something? It's extra strange in this case as Stang is a Jewish name.
  5. We've got one in our house too.
  6. Something tells me no female has intervened in any capacity with this fella before.
  7. We live in a very muckety-muck neighborhood ourselves. The only pit we've seen is the rescue that I mentioned earlier. A woman with kids going through a divorce picked it up at Austin Pets Alive. Maybe she thought it would keep her ex away? When I was a younger man living in a rough neighborhood, there seemed to be one or more pits in every other house. Doodles are fucking everywhere, though. There are so many I expect some kind of neurotic uprising to occur any day now.
  8. Gotcha, and I agree with that. I wrote, "As a breed pits can be just fine . . ." I should have put the "can" in italics or simply worded it better. The intent was to convey that I understand there have been pits that never went bad, not to imply that if raised correctly they never go bad.
  9. I enjoyed this quote: "While it is unclear why Europeans see Mississippians as screaming in a courtroom, it could be in part of the state's passion for debating." Sure. That's why they envision angry white people screaming in a courtroom. It's not the countless movies set in Mississippi courtrooms involving racially motivated crime. Nope, that couldn't be it. It's definitely the well-known Mississippian passion for debate.
  10. I know it's not a popular opinion. I hate it for the dogs as it's ultimately a people problem, but sometimes it's appropriate to cull animal populations, especially when culling the human population is off the table.
  11. Shelters have no shame lying their asses off to people about the presumed breeds of their dogs. Austin Pets Alive is often sitting at 90%+ pit mixes, but it's rare to find even one listed that way. I love dogs, but I don't support our no-kill policy. It just floods neighborhoods with bad dogs. We have a neighbor who adopted a pit mix (she was told boxer I believe) who broke free from his leash and attacked our dog (on leash). They wouldn't get rid of it after that incident, even after the city came out for a hand slap. Then it attacked one of their kids. Gone now. As a breed pits can be just fine when raised from birth by responsible people. The sheer volume of pits in shelters who come from miserable backgrounds and irresponsible jackass humans is at the root of the problem, IMO. I'm not necessarily advocating for putting down every pit mix that lands in a shelter, but I'm open to that discussion. Perhaps not breed-specific rules, but a checklist of traits and history that fast-track certain dogs for termination would be the way to go.
  12. San Antonio was already much faster on the draw in this regard.
  13. They may as well ask the question the right way: "Do you want your kids to be molested by a religious leader while they're at school, or would you prefer we give parents the choice to have their kids molested by a religious leader at church on the weekends?" It's all about parents making the decisions for what's best for their kids, right?
  14. If cedar season has been over for a while, wtf has my allergies blowing up for the last week?
  15. What do his original intentions have to do with it? The saddest part of that origin story is that he came up with the idea because he couldn't afford his rent. Now he's made sure many more are in the same boat. As for the second item, it would probably be easier for you to catch everyone else up to speed on how anyone on the Tesla board is anything but a rubber stamp. But you can find one example of Gebbia being little more than a bro if you look at his direct tweets at Elon, including telling him that threatening to go private was a "baller move" instead of calling him out (or being able to recognize it) for what it really was. I'm sure he's a nice enough guy and fun guy to party with, which is probably how he ended up on Tesla's board in the first place, but like most of the tech bros that so many deluded goobs look up to these days, he's an empty suit that causes a great deal of harm without adding much of anything of value beyond funneling wealth into a smaller and smaller pool. That's not something I find commendable, personally.
  16. And yet that man-child built his fortune by founding a company that has done more to make home ownership a pipe dream for most Americans than any other factor. Don't forget he's also an Elon bootlicker and on the Tesla board. Fuck Joe Gebbia.
  17. I'm sure they'll get that knocked out and passed in no time.
  18. Sorry if I missed someone already posting this. https://www.kut.org/2024-02-12/bozeman-montana-city-manager-austin-hiring-job
  19. The world is full of insufferable cunts, but it doesn't matter much until they inherit a shitload of money. I assume PETA will take ownership of the real estate when she's gone?
  20. I'll take the curbside shoppers over the old ladies at the grocery store any day. They both take up the entire aisle and couldn't less that anyone exists or is trying to shop, but only the old ladies look at you like you're a piece of shit when you politely ask to get by them.
