    Austin FC

    First goal broke free on an OBVIOUS shove foul to sprig. The play. Happened right in front of us. Stuver screwed the pooch on the second goal. And uzuni is the worst PK shooter I’ve ever seen. He should never ever take a pk.
  2. You can usually just get pork butt steaks already cut? They’re perfect for that dish.
  3. That is one of the most German recipes ever. “First, start with eleventy pounds of potatoes. Then, whatever you do, DO NOT ADD ANY SPICES.” I mean, it looks good enough….but could be improved with some diced jalapeño with the peppers. Maybe some oregano and such? Braised meat and gravy over rice. AKA, the baseline Cajun meal. Love it.
  4. Understand that every last MAGAt will defend this - without any irony - with “but he’s a job creator!” The most powerful force in the universe isn’t gravity, or nuclear energy. It’s cognitive dissonance, and it has overwhelmed everything else in our timeline.
  5. What are "text messages hobbes2702 gets from his wife when she's on an out-of-town work trip?"
  6. It’s our dominant identity. American exceptionalism? Yeah…we’re exceptionally assholish.
  7. The seat should be auctioned off for charity - maybe neighborhood longhorns or something that Scott supported - for each game this year.
  8. But I guarantee you he knows that color they are.
  9. Had to clean out our closet so we could finally get the full closet re-do that the wife has wanted. In the back of my T-shirt cabinet, found this gem, that had gotten shoved to the back and forgotten after being worn maybe once: It’s at the front of the new cabinet, and is in the rotation now.
  10. Just remember: this is who they are. All of them. Some may tell you “that’s wrong, and I don’t support it”….yet they will continue to support it and vote for it without fail. Right, @Enchubben ?
  11. Jesus.
  12. “People call him the Great Gatsby. I don’t know about that, I’m greater. But he really is a tremendous gatsby, maybe the greatest gatsby, lots of people are saying. Really great.” Holy fucking shit. Seriously, what in the actual fuck?
  13. Being racist pieces of shit is their entire identity. But the GQP isn’t racist, right @Enchubben ?
  14. The boy’s girlfriend is German-Georgian (and thus…hates Russia). He visited her for Halloween, thought yall would enjoy the costumes and theme:
  15. Sigh. A true passing of an era. Hook ‘em for eternity, Scott.
  16. No ghosts for me. But two visitations on the night they died. First was my childhood dog. He still lived at home with my folks. I was on spring break with my now-wife in NOLA. Woke up, and told her about a super-vivid dream I had about my dog. We spent a log time in the open field behind my house, where he used to love to run. Again, it was so vivid, I told her about it. A couple days later, we head back to Austin and make a stop at my parents’ house. We get in, and I ask about my dog. My mom shakes her head. “He died in his sleep while you were gone.” Yep, on the night I had my dream. But the one that still bugs me is my friend who was in my dream the night he was murdered (he was beaten to death by a crooked cop he’d gotten mixed up with, but nobody could make any charges go anywhere). We were not super close, but we had a friendship that was based on mutual respect and deep trust. He was a smart dude. In my dream, we were being chased by some sinister dudes through West Campus. It was fucking intense and terrifying. At one point, we made it to an alley where we caught a breather, and we decided that it made sense to split up. We did, and after a while, I realized nobody was after me, I’d shaken them. So I started looking for Tom. I couldn’t find him. I looked all over. I woke up upset that I couldn’t find him. He was found in a coma that morning, after being beaten overnight. He died two days later, never regaining consciousness. I’d never had a dream with him in it before or since.
  17. Resign? Dude is a MAGA god: "Fuck you, I got mine!"
  18. It's not complicated. He's just another embodiment of the Republican id. No loyalty to any values or person other than himself. An entire party built around the virtues of being a sociopath.
  19. Imagine a job where you literally only do the parts you like, and none of the parts that you don't, and you're not answerable to anyone for it. Now, imagine that among people in this state who hold that job, you are the most highly paid. If that sounds good to you, you should march down to APD hiring posthaste.
  20. Seriously. Everything about him is "petulant toddler," including his tastes. He's locked in on shit that 8 year olds like. Fuck, I remember thinking I liked musical theater because we took a school trip when I was 8 to see Oklahoma, starring John Schneider of Dukes of Hazzard fame. Turns out, I was just a fucking idiot 8 yr old who liked the Dukes of Hazzard. "Featuring John Schneider!" ain't nearly the selling point to me that it was when I was a kid. Trump? He never got past that mental era.
  21. But then, one would be mistaken to think of Tesla as a "major manufacturer." Seriously, they fail at much of the elementary blocking-and-tackling parts of being a car manufacturer.
  22. PREACH. Not entirely wrong, but some of us think the toxic stew of "entitlement but no accountability" that is the time-honored recipe cooked up by our leadership class needs to be tossed out whenever it can. And yeah, I get the irony that if more of us would just show up and vote against some of these candidates (don't blame me, I vote in every election) it would help. But I innately fucking bristle at the constant approach of "give me everything, and don't you dare expect me to account for shit." Actually.....going back to your first comment, that might as well be APD's motto. Give us all the money, and unlimited power, and zero accountability. In fact, if you subject us to ANY accountability, we'll "quiet quit."
  23. Be careful where you're treading, motherfucker.... Hitting a bit close to home and all that.
