  1. You'll get new dirty coal plants and completely depleted groundwater aquifers and like it, bitch.
  2. Brisketexan replied to 1978horn's topic in Food and Travel
    Wood smash.
  3. But we won't make the sex-bots do that, right? RIGHT?
  4. No. They need to experience pain too. It's the only thing they actually understand. Hurt some dirty mexican? They like it. Hurt their neighbor? They really don't care. Hurt them? Well, a hit dog will holler. Sorry they are so stupid that they can't get why the first two scenarios are awful for any functioning society. Time to not just LET them all touch the hot stove, but MAKE them touch the hot stove. Gee, that burn hurts, don't it? Now maybe you understand why burning people is a bad path?
  5. This. Once you understand WHY NATO membership is a problem for Russia, it makes sense. Russia does not oppose neighboring states joining NATO because those states might become a base of aggression against Russia. Russia opposes neighboring states joining NATO because that prevents Russia from invading and annexing those states. That's it. That's the whole thing. Stop overthinking it. Read even a short treatise on Russian history, and it's obvious.
  6. Oh, except I should caveat what I posted above. I also fully support a Dem regime taking power and inflicting righteous vengeance and inflicting unimaginable pain on all Trumpers and all red state sycophant suck-up and collaborator states that enabled this shit. Dead serious. Texas shouldn't get a penny of federal funding for highways, any of that shit. Because the only language that MAGAs speak is pain. So speak it very loudly, very clearly, so they can fucking understand. Don't ever do this again, because you WILL suffer. We crossed the rubicon. There is no going back. The Group 1 approach is dead for at least a generation, maybe longer.
  7. Goddammit. I don't do fast food often. When I do, it's usually for breakfast, and I ALWAYS go inside (because they fuck you at the drive thru). But yesterday, I worked at the office 2/3 of the day, skipped lunch. At 3:00 when I headed home to work from home for the rest of the day, I was starving. I decided to hit McDonald's. And I went through the drive thru because at 3:00, no line. I didn't want or need much, keep it simple, because it's McDonalds. McDouble meal for $5.50. Burger, 4 nuggets, small fries, iced tea. Figured I'd share some nuggets and fries with my wife when I got home. Again, there's no rush, no line. They hand me my bag, drive off. Yeah, my mistake. Like I said, I NEVER go through drive thrus, so I fucking forgot the cardinal rule -- check your bag. Get home, I have a burger, fries, my tea, two nugget sauces (thanks for the extra), and no nuggets. Fucking hell. Seriously, I hate drive thrus, I always have, and I always will. The percentage of time that my order is correct is under 50% lifetime score.
  8. But right there, you've captured the complete split in American political thought. This ties directly to the cry of "he's hurting the wrong people!" we heard early in Trump's first term. Not "he's hurting people," but "he's hurting the WRONG people," necessarily implying that there are RIGHT people for the POTUS to hurt. Group 1 thinks that the government's primary purpose is to serve the people of and in the United States. All of them, to some degree or another -- whether it be something as indirect as building and maintaining a good system of roads, or mid-level like public education, or direct like supplemental nutrition assistance to the poor and hungry. Nothing's perfect, some people will not get all they want or need, the government only has so many resources, etc. But the overarching goal is "serve the people." Yes, with a national defense and law enforcement function, but again, the purpose is not to HURT the people at the receiving end of those mechanisms, but to help and protect the greater good and other members of society. Group 2 thinks that government's purpose is to "hurt people I don't like." And what these morons don't fucking get is that does not work out as "hurt the people YOU don't like" -- it is "hurt the people TRUMP doesn't like." At first, you think it's just gonna be those dirty mexicans and uppity negroes -- that's good, those aren't "real Americans" anyway, they should get what's coming to them. But then....it becomes every single American who didn't vote for Trump. Then, it becomes every single American who lives in a STATE that didn't vote for Trump. Then, it becomes every single American who doesn't give their complete and total support to whatever insane, idiotic, corrupt thing Trump is trying to do this minute -- what, you are a Republican from a red county in a red state, and you have flown a Trump flag for the last 10 years, but now, you have concerns about your ACA premiums skyrocketing? You're a RINO, and you must be punished. A governmental philosophy built on inflicting pain, vengeance, and retribution, particularly when it's not built on a factual narrative, and PARTICULARLY when that power is entrusted to a single, psychopathic narcissist, is suicidal. And this country pulled the cord on that suicide vest in November of 2024. Now, as we experience series after series of limb-flinging explosions, we cough through the blood and debris, and gird ourselves for the next explosion. Good job, well done. Brilliant choice, America. We went Group 2's way, and it is going EXACTLY -- not partially, not mostly...exactly -- as should be expected. Maybe, just maybe, we should not take that Group 2 approach ever, ever, ever again. What say you, you utter fucking malignant dumbasses?
  9. You know where you can find an awesome walking treadmill? Outside. It’s called a sidewalk. I use it regularly, it’s quite exhilarating.
  10. The best part of that? Most of the replies are AI stans who will never, ever even LEAN towards the concept of “huh, maybe we need to think about some sort of guardrails for this shit.” Nope. They want it all to proceed unrestrained, unchecked. Damn all consequences, billionaires billionairing is worth all the human suffering you can imagine.
  11. What’s this “we” shit? Some of us never gave up on it. And it’s just coincidental that I have a stunningly gorgeous cranium.
  12. I used to have a mounted pair of drakes. There was a period 30+ years ago when I would go jump-shooting ducks on the El Indio canal near Eagle Pass. Spot the ducks down about 70-80 yards away. Drop down below the bank, stall up to about where we saw them, and pop up and shoot when the flew. We used to clean up, and it was the only place I ever saw or shot buffleheads. Man, I miss all the places I used to duck hunt.
  13. Yeah....that "consent not required" is kind of a deal breaker for me. What, did you go to Baylor or something?
  14. Obviously not. And you know exactly why. See, when these previous generations "did things the right way" (often involving massive sucking on the gov't tit), what that MEANS is "anything pretty white immigrants did/do is cool, but anything brown/dark immigrants do is evil." See, e.g., the same administration freaking out about "fraud" issuing pardons of fraud crimes committed by wealthy white people more generously than my wife handed out halloween candy. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH FRAUD. NONE. ZERO. It is strictly, and ONLY, valuable as a tool to wield against their political enemies. When committed by their friends? It is fucking a-ok, and in fact, is REWARDED. Fuck this whole conversation. Quit playing by normal rules, under the rule of law, with people who have nothing but contempt for it and use it AGAINST you. Fuck that shit.
  15. You'll get Marilyn Mansons and like it.
  16. He thinks about beer, and pussy (consent not required). So, shut up, nerd!
  17. Transparency. Accountability. Good Governance. In this year of our Orange Lord 2025. I'll take "words we no longer need in the English language" for $500, Alex.
  18. FIF how breathtakingly stupid our species is. Seriously, how we beat out the cockroach for global dominance is a mystery to me.
  19. Air traffic safety is woke, you pussy.
  20. Yep. The boy distinctly remembers one of the older fellas going on a beer-lubricated rant about his time in Vietnam, and how he still thought that people thought less of him because of it, and because he never got a college degree, especially young people who didn't even remember the war. Long pause around the fire. The boy is all of 16, pipes up with words to the effect of "I don't think less of you at all. I think you should be proud of your service. And you should be proud of what you do [as the boy gestured to the structure we were sitting under, as the old man had built it by hand]." It got pretty damn quiet around the fire after that, pretty sure the old man and the boy were teared up a bit. I didn't say a fucking word.
  21. Indeed. On just this visit home, the boy was speaking reverently about the years he went on deer hunting/work weekend trips to a friend's ranch. An eclectic group of professionals (with a strong redneck tinge) and some friends and family members who were decidedly more blue-collar and rough around the edges. The boy was usually the youngest member of the crew, so the men relished the opportunity to share their "wisdom," and he wisely drank it up. He was mentioning it in the context of learning how to appreciate and communicate with different demographics and perspectives, having observed colleagues at uni who he said were quite smart....but terrible at communicating and relating to a broad audience. He, on the other hand, has had conversations about global policy with PhDs, and about nitty-gritty "what life is like" conversations with truck drivers and rodeo cowboys and small-scale contractors who have worked with their hands their whole lives, and he can connect with all of them. He's smart enough to know that's a life skill. There's nothing wrong with "girls weekends" or "women's teas." There's also nothing wrong with male-dominated activities, featuring some old-school male dynamics. In fact, there's a whole lot that's right and good about both. One can learn how to be a man, and NOT treat women like shit and as just objects. As one can learn how to be a woman, and not just badmouth men and treat them all like predators and the enemy. We are sorely in need of moderation across the board, and in our abandonment of it, have abandoned institutions and activities that humans sorely need.
  22. Here's a secret about the pudding.....
  23. Sorry, best we can do is the FIFA Photography Prize.
  24. Fraud is super serious, and merits the expulsion of an entire ethnicity from our country. Except when that fraud is committed by friends of the POTUS/people who bribed him with money from their ill-gotten gains. In those cases, it requires a pardon, and any conviction-gained through an exercise of complete due process, including final adjudication-was "a witch hunt." And also except when that fraud is committed by a MAGA senator (Rick Scott) to the tune of billions, that's also a "witch hunt." Lesson: if you wanna commit fraud, be white, and/or provide significant benefits (money, unflinching loyalty/fealty from a position of power, or both) to the regime. So, forgive me if I never, ever, EVER listen to a single fucking WORD any MAGAt has to say about fraud. They have no fucking problem with fraud. They have demonstrated as much, in actual practice. There is no further discussion to be had.
