    @BurntEyes

    Please stop spamming that same stupid picture, you made your point the first hundred times it was posted.

    To the usual bloviators, get back on topic or get the hell out.  This ain't the thread to argue your same worn out CR hot takes back and forth ad naseum.  Everyone knows where each of you stands and 99% of it is off topic.  There's about 100 garbage posts to every post with actual content.

    This thread is about:   

    Summer riots/protests damage & tactics documentation thread (no politics, please)

    Thread for vids, pics, and news stories.

    (Fall riots/protests damage & tactics documentation are also welcome, IMHO.)

     

    Posts #3851, 3858, 3864, and 3883 are about the only ones on this page that somewhat fit that (though 3883 looks to be about to make 3865 relevant.)

    Newsworthy/interesting vids/images of, ya know, riots/protests (one man acts can sometimes qualify)/damage/tactics are what people want to see.  Like this:

     

    or this from the weekend:

     

    Please god let me meet these idiots when locked and loaded.

    Lots of similarities to The Long March.

    Maybe some parents failed to teach their kids not to play in traffic, but for many of these protests the whole intent is to break the laws/rules/norms.  Some to reflexively vent, "I'm mad so I want everyone else to suffer."  Some as strategy to trigger escalation (create a martyr/Kent State, or at least sympathetic images for the former news media to run with, and thus an excuse to validate future violence from their side)  [  post 100 mentions a milder side of that  https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/topic/15694-summer-riotsprotests-damage-tactics-documentation-thread-no-politics-please/page/2/&tab=comments#comment-2423659   ]

    But mainly because we have a lot of people (across the political spectrum) who think the laws/rules/norms/common courtesies/etc they don't care for shouldn't apply to them, and jump on any rationalization (no matter how intellectually implausible) to justify noncompliance.  (  I just randomly Googled 'systemic racist traffic lights' and sure enough, here's an article:  https://level.medium.com/the-unintentional-racism-found-in-traffic-signals-b2899c34fefb   )

     

     

    I’m getting to the point that if in that situation I’m afraid I’d floor it. Guess that’s why I’m moving to the boonies.

    Fuck those road blocking idiots

  3. Did lots of acid in the 80s but only shrooms once. Picked them off cowshit near Dallas and brewed a tea. Everything was fine until my buddy started ranting and raving about the devil while I sat immobile in a recliner in his mobil home.

    Good times

    Watched Eurovision Song Contest this weekend. Can't say that I laughed a whole lot but I still somehow still found it enjoyable. The boner statutes was pretty funny.

    Ditto

    loved the Lion of Love performance and reading some backstory about the artist its based on it sounds like an accurate portrayal.

    What could have been if Edwin Simmons's legs were of equal length. One was a half inch longer than the other, which led to knee problems, which led to us having no offense in 1983, thereby negating the best defense in UT history, and enabling fucking Georgia to...whatever...Laugh all you want about his shroom addled nekkid escapades after he'd become a JAG, but pre-injury he was poised to have joined the canon of great Longhorn backs, and had he done so, there might not have been the rapid descent into shitdom of the mid and late Akers period.

    In my 50 years of watching the Longhorns I’m not sure there was.a RB I was more excited about than Simmons. That fucker just seemed amazing in my 22 year old eyes. Not discounting Earl or any other great backs before but it seemed like we just needed a badass back at that time and he was the next Messiah of Texas football to me.

  6. Got sucked into Witcher over the weekend. Right there in the warnings for nudity and gore was fucking smoking. Pretty ridiculous, I’d personally prefer man on man sex as a warning but guess we’re past that. 😁

    The northeast is second only to the west in terms of health. Still America though.
    It's crazy to think of chili's or applebees or whatever as a cool neighborhood place. Whereas we've seen torchys, chuys, hopdoddy, etc. explode nationally and I still kind of think of them as local (though chuys just kind of sucks regardless). So it goes I guess.

    Was the Snuffers right there too?

    Damn I loved hitting that place for a burger, loaded fries and mushrooms

    Needing to do something about my DIRECTV bill. Paying quite a bit more than advertised $69.99/month pricing for Xtra package. Anybody have any recent luck getting pricing reduced by substantial amount? I keep telling myself to consider cutting the cord and going all streaming but haven't gotten there yet.

    Finally canceled DirectTV today after contemplating it for a couple years. Customer service rep congratulated me on being with them 7 years and of course tried to get me to stay. I was a couple whiskeys in so it was easy to cut him off and do the deed. Took about 5 minutes.

    Monthly bill was around $206.

    Thinking about streaming YouTube TV, already watch a lot of Prime and Netflix.

    Damn I feel free!
