  1. I like cornbread and sweetmilk for breakfast. I can’t do buttermilk except in baking and I don’t feel the need to pretend I’m country enough to like that. Canned pear and mayo is so deranged its not even psychopathic. Its more like a coding bug or some garble the aliens picked up and taught in human school. Start doing little tests like mentioning that dreams appear at a 90 degree angle when people sleep on their sides. See if she mirrors the behavior and if so, robot.
  2. Man before that viral meme I thought Teslas were toxic creations of a proto-fascist edgelord but now I have good vibes and associate them with authentic, homemade internet humor from regular Southern folks who just love to laugh and love their full self drive EVs.
  3. Concur on the chopped brisket sandwich, in a lot of places its a superior choice to the sliced brisket and a go-to if the pitmaster is just OK. And it nearly always is better than a pulled pork sandwich. Also concur on small town food adding the exception that some places manage a good greasy burger stop. Other than that, its desolate unless you become known as a highway pit stop stalwart or if you manage to be a destination like Perini Ranch. I was going to add the Albany Beehive as an example and saw it got killed in 2023. Price is everything in those places and the era of the made from scratch cafe or diner is dead because the locals are all going to go to Subway or Hunt Pizza just on price alone.
  4. “Stand your ground” laws in Texas are only about the use of lethal force. You never had a duty to retreat from using proportional self-defense. Using “stand your ground” in the context of a shoving match makes no sense. The idea that stand your ground is about giving someone who “didn’t start it” permission to escalate arguments all the way up to killing is frankly insane.
  5. They are wild in a straight line but they are a big, heavy sedan. You would want the Tesla track pack or the equivalent for the brakes alone. Even then, it’s still a heavy car that is not super fun or particularly to flog around a track. Maybe drag racing.
  6. https://www.axios.com/2025/04/23/musk-bessent-trump-white-house-irs Musk is dumb IRL. Bessent accurately called DOGE fake and dumb and Musk replies with bullshit Soros stuff. Musk’s brain is fried.
  7. We really live in a Fox News aesthetic now. I really wish we could have cooler dictators. I know everyone talks about the Nazis and their Hugo Boss, skulls and leather look. But the Italians were really underrated.
  8. Unlike the U.S., Pakistan actually does have a deep state of mostly unaccountable and uncontrolled elements within the security and military sectors. The long coziness with Islamist terror groups has gotten them into a wag the dog situation where the relationship is not entirely instrumental and true believers and radicals have a home in the apparatus. It’s hard to see how this happened without at least the tacit approval of ISI or a part of it. At the same time, entirely plausible that Pakistan’s political leadership was unaware. The fact that it happened in Kashmir will lead India to calibrate a bit in a way an attack in non-disputed territory would not.
  9. Sweet tea is made up bullshit imported for Yankee transplants who confuse Texan with Southern. Its awful. There are a few old-school Mexican places in the valley that do a sweetened tea with simple syrup and lots of lime that doesn’t hurt your teeth and is really good.
  10. Ok, I cited the Texas penal code, I invite you to do the same. Or just believe hard enough, I guess that works too.
  11. In Texas, it means you can resist with force up to deadly force iif you reasonably believe that the other actor: C) was committing or attempting to commit aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery; And your use of force was immediately necessary to stop it. So no, if someone shoves you in a bar you don’t get to tit for tat climb the escalation ladder. If someone is attempting to rape you, you can shoot them even if there is an escape avenue.
  12. Yours is mostly about the truly dumb legal theories you keep floating. “Theories and speculation.”
  13. Anything with two “cream of” canned soups gets a no from me. There’s no cream of mushroom soup in enchiladas and putting it there would make it worse.
  14. Also, lol at chainsaw’s theory that stand your ground means you’re allowed to tit for tat escalate public arguments all the way up to where you are afraid for your life and then its stabbin’ time. The theories and speculation here are wild.
  15. I think you need to consider the strong likelihood that an extended argument devolving into altercation devolving into stabbing makes a self-defense argument for Anthony much less plausible in every way as it pretty much destroys the immediate and imminent fear for life and bodily safety. Instead, it begins to look a whole lot more like a guy who reached for a knife when he started losing a fight he had every opportunity to get out of.
  16. Before I get to the awful opinions expressed here, one of my own: King Ranch Chicken sucks and should never be made. Brisket: I have had a lot of shitty brisket and for a while did not get the hype. I know that in an era of crazy good craft BBQ its fashionable to look down at the Central Texas “meat market” stalwarts but the fact is that till about the 2010s they were the sole outposts of truly good brisket. And a good brisket is superior to almost anything but a great steak, and a great brisket stands with a great steak. This is a bad opinion. Blue Bell: Concur. They killed people and use cheap ingredients, this isn’t the product of the 1980s and 1990s. Whataburger: Shit service and consistency hurts. Everything they make tastes better than McDonalds, because everything in McDonalds tastes like McDonalds. Better options? GTFO. Chicken strips are better than any McDonalds options, objectively. Patty melts. Whataburger has bette breakfast (tacos and biscuit choices), the McMuffin is to be eaten only if there’s no biscuit. The McRib is a shit meme menu item man. Eating that shit is just something you’ve conditioned yourself to do but most cultures wouldn’t recognize it as food. McDonald’s fries and hash browns are better. Preferring chili with beans and not liking pecan desserts is completely insane. I do know a lot of little kids who don’t like pecans. Kolaches are super good. What is wrong with people?
  17. There are plenty of fantastic and non-grifty civil rights advocates doing yeoman’s work advancing equal treatment at the structural and individual level. The ones that gravitate towards media spotlights and the chance to grift on a massive scale do tend to be grifters. This guy is to civil rights defenders what Dr. Oz is to medical doctors or Dr. Phil to therapists.
  18. The cope I’m seeing is so fucking delusional. This kid had time to fish a knife out of his bag? To escalate and challenge? The eyewitnesses said he was pushed or at most “grabbed.” Yeah, that’s not proportional self-defense in any courtroom. Get fucking real.
  19. No one calls you “McGregor the wall-builder or “McGregor the master carpenter.” But you do one rape and murder and see what they call you!
  20. Too late to edit. Around V-E Day, not D-Day.
  21. This guy’s thoughts are completely coherent and reasonable for someone who has given zero thought to the scope and diversity of government functions and missions. Honestly one of the biggest ways America is stupid is the proliferation of MBA-brained goobers who really and truly in their heart of hearts believe that being a regional VP of something gives them some sort of universally applicable special insight.
  22. I read that article and of course it’s unsurprising that all his top advisors came with him from his bullshit charities and are equally bro-y and incompetent.
  23. TripleSecDef is an idiot completely at the mercy of Trump and that suits Trump fine. Keeping him in place allows Trump to own the libs and the Deep State on the reg. The only reason to remove him is if he’s an electoral liability and one way or another DJT does not care about that. This admin acts like there will never be another election again and people should pay attention to that.
  24. They are not technically there yet, and were always counting on the U.S. being the short term guarantor and even producer. My prediction: Within 1-2 weeks we will wash our hands of trying to broker peace and more openly align with Russia. Watch for some truly revolting shit in this space around the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
