  1. I had a conversation with a kind of friend of mine a few years ago that taught me a couple of things. #1 People are dumb, and #2, I'm not telling anyone to go vote, ever again. She never got around to voting about that ridiculous taxi campaign to ban uber and lyft. I was flabbergasted, because it was incredibly dumb that we were even needing to have the conversation. Aside, Fuck you Ann Kitchen. The good side lost that fight, and I was like, but we needed you to vote to keep them around. And she's like "oh, well I probably would've voted against uber and lyft." Well, ok then. I learned not to assume that people are going to make good decisions in the voting booth because of other things you know about them, and as a result, don't encourage anyone to vote. Also, people are dumb. Also, I think that might've been the last time I ever talked to her.
  2. I voted on the first day around 615 at southpark meadows, I was second in line with all the registrars helping someone and every machine taken. And I vote on the first day because if I would've had a heart attack last night I still would've had my vote in against every Republican on the ballot.
  3. Yep I have asthma as well, which is why I stayed home until I was vaxxed and boosted. It's why I raged against the members of my family who didn't want to vaccinate and for a long time felt exactly as you do. I even called people both selfish and unpatriotic who were refusing to vaccinate, and I still 100% believe that. But at some point I realized that I'm not ever going to get everyone (or even most people) to do the right thing simply because it's the right thing, and it isn't my job to police them anyway. I have to let people make their own mistakes and if those mistakes kill them, well, they had the same opportunity that I had to get vaccinated and reduce their risk. Once I got myself ok with that, I was able to give myself permission to go back to living my life again. And yes it's not over, but it will never be over until this thing mutates into another form of the common cold, which it's only going to be able to do if it continues to circulate. Since we never had the will to stop this virus completely, the best course of action now is to let it continue to run wild and continue to get less severe as it looks for the equilibrium it needs to stay in circulation. Staying home forever, nationwide lockdowns, hell even getting people to wear masks are all non-starters here in the US. Those things simply will not happen, so it's not over from a death and destruction standpoint, but it's over from the standpoint of getting the general public to band together and do something about it. The only thing the general public seems willing to do at this point is nothing, which means to keep letting it mutate and hope that it keeps following the trend and heading more and more to the common cold/influenza territory in severity. And if a bunch of morons hit the FAFO lottery on the journey, all the better.
  4. So Jimmy, I'm staying boosted (including the new one) and gotten back to normal, and I've just resigned myself that there are still a whole bunch of morons that feel the need to fuck around and find out still. And I'm ok with that. More morons dying is a net positive, and I'm not going to stand in their way and warn them anymore. If that's what they want, then let them go find what they are looking for. It's ok to let that be ok.
  5. Umm you can't even get out of the first chapter of Genesis before the words His, Him and Them are all used. (Genesis 1:27)
  6. Forgot how much I love watching the Horns when they actually have a good QB. It’s been way fucking too long!
  7. I mean if it wasn’t for the overalls, which by the way are a natural gay repellant, I’d say he’s getting fucked rabbit style by someone off screen. But no self respecting gay would be caught dead within 69 feet of a man in overalls. So I’m flummoxed by what I’m seeing in that video. No logical explanation that I can see.
  8. Well, they are all lactose intolerant milkmen. So what you are seeing is them lifting their leg to get a bit more oomph into letting the gas out. They are claiming something about narrow steps and traditions, but no. The fine print of the application even says you have to be lactose intolerant and drink at least 2 pints of milk before every pep rally if you want to be an aggy cheerleader.
  9. Aren't you mischaracterizing what he actually said? You being characterized as nonplussed if nothing happens seems awful close to your quoted "I wouldn't be surprised terribly by (acquittal), or even a complete lack of indictment." It's not exactly the same, but I don't think the gulf between "nonplussed" and "not surprised terribly" is so big that you could call it a mischaracterization. ETA: I'm doing the semantics thing here, though I'm mostly on your side of this argument. I don't think the things the judge is doing really has any affect on the outcome at this point because the important bits have already been released to the government. And I think your analysis has been helpful, so despite the fact I'm giving you shit, I'd like to ask you to keep it up.
  10. They won't find much of that where they are looking I suspect. Bluster isn't the same as alpha.
  11. What in the actual fuck?
  12. What's wrong with Mr. T and where's his mohawk gone?
  13. If you want a super sweet Netflix series, watch Heartstopper. It might give you the betus though.
  14. Recovering band dorks, man. Saxophone was a great tool for finding ass back in the 80's though, so no ragrats.
  15. I mean that might be true, if they have super dumb computers over at aggy. That actually would explain some things, so yeah they probably can't figure it out with computers over there. But in reality it's just blocks or people making planned 45 and 90 degree turns. We learned to do it as a group of 95 12 and 13 year olds with just one west Texas band director telling us what to do. It was not hard. At all.
  16. In junior high I was in the marching band at my school. Our band director had us play the aggy war hymn. I protested vehemently and he told me he would've had us play something from Tech or UT but those songs were too hard for a bunch of second year band students. We also marched like aggy, he said it was way easier to march that way than the more advanced designs and patterns the other college bands did. As I got older and did more difficult songs and marches, I came to understand that he wasn't bullshitting even a little bit.
  17. So question...How does one get to the point that they need a fucking rascal to get around, and they are like "yeah this is fine, I've eaten so much I can't walk anymore, pass the fried chicken." I don't get it.
  18. Overly complex to run, overly simple to stop.
  19. I started to take offense to this, then realized that I'm forced to watch The Crown and The Queen and all the other bullshit royals shows on PBS because I didn't think things through and married a gay. Will was a good looking kid that aged POORLY and Harry was a homely kid that aged HOTLY. Of all the shit that I've been required to sit through about the royal family over the years, this is the only thing that I've really been able to take away from it. Oh that, and my first thought when she died was, "Damn I guess she's going to miss the next season of The Crown."
  20. I mean, it's clear he knows that's his job and chooses just not do that part of it.
  21. So how did you not realize he was playing hurt? That severe limp and Karate Kid stance when he was just standing there waiting for the play call didn't tip you off?
  22. No self respecting fags would be caught dead looking like that in public. Y'all can keep those idiots. Us homos are going to keep it stylish. Also, obligatory: x, x, x
  23. Hmm, some gays like a hairy ass crack. But there are really good waxing products in case you get groomed by someone that doesn't. So either way you are in the clear!
