  1. And all this time, I thought it was a reference to Texan tourists.
  2. I can't tell if this thread has drawn in a weak troll or if there is a new candidate for dumbest motherfucker on this site. It could go either way. I assume some of you are more familiar with his posting habits and already know. I want to believe no one is this stupid, but then I remember that 22% of Americans voted for what is happening now. (and yes, it's sad as fuck that only 22% amounts to some kind of mandate for complete fuckery)
  3. That sentence conatains so many head scratchers, I don't even know where to start.
  4. From the article: "For nearly 60 years, CPB has carried out its Congressional mission to build and sustain a trusted public media system that informs, educates, and serves communities across the country. Through partnerships with local stations and producers, CPB has supported educational content, locally relevant journalism, emergency communications, cultural programming, and essential services for Americans in every community." Now, who would have a vested interest in these things coming to an end? The same people who are also trying to destroy public schools, perhaps?
  5. Says the guy who has been cosplaying as an engineer for his entire career.
  6. The odds of those three meatheads being Austin residents are low. Troglodytes from the surrounding areas tend to crowd out locals at the watering spots on the weekends, and also tend to be the ones committing a lot of the violence and other crimes.
  7. The interesting part is how much more Austin is like LA since that douchenozzle left in 2020, including the assload of new quality restaurants that have opened since then. If he only had some patience.
  8. AI is a grift. Those who perpetuate this grift will do anything, including putting children in harm's way, to make more money. Zuckerberg is a soulless cunt, and like many others, has too much money and zero regulation. That's about it.
  9. You just don't have the disruptive mindset necessary for tech work, bro.
  10. That list does help explain why Tesla drivers are the shittiest drivers on the road, as evidenced by Teslas having by far the highest accident rate of any manufacturer. I think part of it is also the one group you forgot: 5. Teenagers with stupid parents. Likely the same stupid parents who buy their kids e-bikes but don't bother teaching them how to ride safely. The teenagers get a pass, but the parents should be removed from society. Teslas are some of the least safe vehicles money can buy, despite some of the bullshit safety ratings they lean on. You are more likely to die in a Tesla crash than in any other major manufacturer's vehicles. They kill more motorcyclists and bicyclists than any other manufacturer, and even if they were extremely safe for the driver and passengers (they're not) no teenager should be driving something that can go from 0-60 in under 2 seconds. Fuck every last moron who buys one of these for their kids (or hands over the keys to their used one). The only manufacturers that can compare in the shitty driver category are BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and Lexus. Lexus can be attributed to the large number of old people who drive them, but it is less clear why the German vehicles are driven so poorly, as they seem to cover a wider age group. Does something about the cars turn people into shitty drivers, or are only shitty drivers drawn to BMW, Mercedes, and Audi? I suspect a certain type of person is drawn to these brands, and based on the way they drive, I further suspect narcissism may be the underlying cause, as these fuckers seem to have zero notions about sharing the road. In any event, Tesla drivers are the worst of all, as evidenced by their top spot for overall car accident rate.
  11. Used Onwell for the first time this year. They successfully reduced our assessed value by $56,000 and saved us a little over $ 1,000 this year. I may have done better on my own, but the time saved was worth it.
  12. It's amazing how well the bubbles we create for ourselves insulate us from reality.
  13. I didn't need another reason to never go to Walmart, but I'll go ahead and add this to the list.
  14. . . . Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Alex Jones . . .
  15. Agreed. They're the best dealer I've ever dealt with, for any brand.
  16. And here we are, living in a world where Chewy.com is profitable (albeit barely). Maybe it's the lack of a puppet.
  17. We can't all look like Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. I guess we're all just dudes.
  18. Expecting young people to recognize a guy who was a great pitcher, but only flashed for a relatively small window in a sport that is dying off faster than the Silent Generation, is a bit much. It's not like he's a legend of the game. Maybe if they only asked young baseball players in the Bay Area they'd get some more recognition, but I doubt it.
  19. What I'm gathering here is that she is a millennial Tucker Carlson.
  20. Did anyone else have to look up Candace Owens? First time hearing about her, and hopefully the last.
  21. Investors are just as stupid today as they have been throughout the long and insane growth of this massive tech bubble. I have no doubt Elon will eventually stumble upon the correct magic tech-bro voodoo language to save his crumbling empire. It's not like he has to actually come up with a functional product or service. He just has to come up with some more made-up nonsense that investors will gobble up, and he's done it plenty of times before. If building an actual business that can stand on its own merits were the task, he'd be fucked, just like 99% of tech executives.
