  1. I can't recall if this has been mentioned yet, but around the same time was the revision to the bankruptcy code that, among other things, made it nearly impossible to discharge student loans. That alone accounts for the largest part of the shitfest, in my opinion. Student loans became some of the most attractive lending available overnight. Can you imagine the smiles on the faces of lenders knowing that no one can run away from their loans? The feds literally unleashed a bunch of sharks on poor and middle-class families, and teenagers in particular.
  2. Lol. Least shocking thing ever.
  3. Shit like this makes me wish hell was actually a thing so people like Samantha D and this Alabama fucknut judge could rot in it.
  4. The only thing that gives me any hope here is that too many people have friends, loved ones, and family who have gone through IVF and have a more direct understanding of all it involves for this to gain too much traction. Those fuckwads on Texags are prime examples of people who have no clue what they're talking about and have never been exposed to these issues before. My hope is that enough lawmakers, even the ones proudly wearing their pro-life stripes, will have either gone through this themselves, have friends who have, have an IVF grandchild, etc. That's my hope.
  5. Apologies for misspelling homunculi. I may have been a bit angry when I typed that.
  6. I'd love to have a chat in a dark alley with every single one of these pieces of shit. These aren't humans, they're shit stains left behind when God last wiped his ass. Overgrown fecal humonculi.
  7. I hear you, and it pisses me off too. This was always going to be the next move following Roe v. Wade being overturned, as it's an easier sell for the mouthbreathers. Contraception will be next. I go back and forth between being rallied to fight harder and getting despondent that the nutbags have already managed to take control of the country, and there's no turning back anymore.
  8. Holy shit that's perfect. Thank you for the laugh.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Bound to happen any day now.
  12. 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.
  13. We've got one in our house too.
  14. Something tells me no female has intervened in any capacity with this fella before.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. San Antonio was already much faster on the draw in this regard.
  21. 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?
  22. If cedar season has been over for a while, wtf has my allergies blowing up for the last week?
