  1. What a sucker. Thanks to Austin Energy, I got a free, three-day darkness retreat last week and I didn't even have to leave my house!
  2. I wouldn't sit in those seats if they were free. Maybe if they tossed in some free popcorn or beer.
  3. The thing that comes on after football. Except on the West Coast.
  4. Lying about everything big and small? Check. Hypocrite on matters of sexuality? Check. Serial harasser? Check. I figured this guy was going to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2036, 2032 at the earliest, but he is shooting right up the ladder. 2024 is in his sights.
  5. I'm worried that your wife has said, "It's OK, sweetie, size doesn't matter" so much, that she's actually starting to believe it.
  6. Got power back in the middle of the night in 78727.
  7. The scary thing is the lights that are not even flashing red, just out. There's two on Parmer near Mopac. If you didn't know the lights were there you would fly right through them, because you can't see them in the dark.
  8. Still no power in the '27 (Duval and Mopac). Most of my neighborhood has power, except for a couple of blocks around my house. Ironically, we were the only blocks that didn't lose power in 2021. So since this outage only impacts a small section of houses, I'm getting worried that we are proper fucked.
  9. I'll give Hamster the benefit of the doubt and assume he was not talking about the culture of gang rape. He was probably talking about the culture of cat torture.
  10. Yep. And turns the plate when he sets it down. He did that for the first and last meal.
  11. Speaking of, any thoughts on school in the Austin area for Thursday? The morning is looking real dicey, so I'm assuming a two-hour delay at minimum.
  12. Any chance we can get this list she created for "research" purposes? These two are very relevant to my interests.
  13. Seriously, I can't think of a better actor to play that role than Nick Offerman.
  14. "You live in this fantasy world where everyone in the government is a Nazi!" "Everyone in the government is a Nazi!" "Well, yes now, but not then!" That had me laughing so hard.
  15. He wins a lot of court cases in Canada. You wouldn't know them.
  16. Every educator in America agrees that the idea of parents not being involved in their children's education is wrong. That is why no one at the meeting you attended said that. And thank you for clarifying that you don't see public schools as a child abuse sex cult, you only think they have the same policies. But again, respectfully, fuck off with that shit.
  17. I know you got a crocodile in spelling, but this has gone too far.
  18. You clearly misunderstood what they were saying. No educator is going to tell a parent not to contact a teacher with an issue. They are correct that by middle school, students should be starting to advocate for themselves. But not every student can do that and parents, of course, need to play a role. But get the fuck out of here with that "child sex abuse cult" shit.
  19. Public school teacher here. Graphic novels are fantastic for students who are labeled as ELL (they can see the pictures and match it up to the words to better grasp vocabulary) and for students who generally don't like reading ("Oh look, a lot of pictures and just some words. I'll read that!"). Plus, graphic novels still have everything you would want in a picture-free novel (character development, scene setting, complex plots, etc). I teach an upper-level high school social studies course and actually do mention the Kama Sutra in class. The fact that those writings focus on male and female sexual enjoyment show that there was probably less patriarchy in ancient South Asia as compared to other cultures. There is value to those texts outside of talking about specific sex positions.
