  1. You answered your question already. There are no laws, at least not for those favored by the regime.
  2. Elon.....FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTIST! Can we please get back all the dumbfuck Elon stans who actually repeated that bullshit, about how Elon was saving the very concept of free speech? Please? Come on back, guys. Come out and defend yourselves. Unless, of course, you're just like your false god: complete and total spineless cowards.
  3. "I want a firm that passionately advocates for me. Let me see how well they advocate for themselves...."
  4. Maybe. Dude has been charged with sex crimes. But in any case....he had style.
  5. He has. He just likes to pretend they’re not that bad/no big deal. It’s a lie, but it’s one he likes.
  6. Now…imagine a Dem giving Soros this info. Jesus fucking Christ this is as insane and bad as it gets. We are over. We are completely and totally, 100% compromised. We are owned by our enemies.
  7. The slacks were gray. The style was impeccable. You know what I’m talking ‘bout.
  8. You know, they're on to something. I have it on good authority that once you're dead, you don't develop cancer.
  9. "Influencer" busted for sexual abuse of minors and child porn. https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/03/20/feds-influencer-ricci-wynne-has-track-record-of-sexually-abusing-girls-as-young-as-13/ Obviously, he's an "influencer" who has a presence as a drag queen. Wait...what's that? That's not it? It's as something else? I'm shocked.....
  10. Pro tip: after nuking, toast it on the griddle, then top it with half a can of the cheapest enchilada sauce you can find. Shredded cheddar if you have it, maybe a slice of American -- the cheese is next-level, and only if you have extra money for such things. Shit, with tips like this, I am a BESTOWER OF HAPPINESS. I'm giving y'all all the info you need to be happy.
  11. Did the hotel have booze? Porn? Other people making bad decisions? You may have just described a week in heaven.
  12. 1) I have some that I get at Fiesta. Yes, Fiesta. They have a small section of frozen brit food, and they sell little tubes of it -- this stuff: 2) And I also have a pack of the bigger slices, from Marks & Spencer, that my daughter froze and then smuggled to me last time she visited from London.
  13. Didn't do a boil last year. Want to do one this year. May not have a weekend to do so until May 3-4. That's usually a good week or two after we usually do so, but I expect we should still be in the money. Thoughts?
  14. As is blood sausage/black pudding. I have some in my freezer right now - may make it for breakfast this weekend. Never had jellied eels. But....I'd try 'em.
  15. Dead serious. Average looking, not very athletic, drove a shitty car. But I had plenty of game. 90% of it was "listen to/give women your attention, and make them laugh." Shit, if I can do it...ANYONE can. Oh, also, my wife tells me that being smart and having ambition are helpful too -- if your dream is to be a professional video gamer and you act like it....you're not going to get a lot of points with the ladies. Except, apparently, the "anyone can do it" is not true. Lot of really awkward dudes out there.
  16. The Brady Wal-Mart is fine....but it ain't "big." That said, my truck broke down in the parking lot of the Brady Tractor Supply (stupid fuel pump), and multiple people stopped to offer to help, including a leather-skinned chainsmoking gal who actually had an electronic diagnostic tool in the pile of....stuff....in her car. It at least told us that the issue wasn't electric or the starter. Brady also has a Chicken Express, so I can pick up an order of gizzards on the way home. See, and y'all don't think I know how to find happiness.
  17. $1? Fucking Daddy Warbucks over here. Fox DeLuxe $.79 pizzas for the sad, not very delicious win.
  18. America's happiness index just dropped from #24 to #25 with this post.
  19. To be fair....I recall in our college days, dudes paying for Gumby's with a post-dated check. So, "I'll pay you tomorrow for a pizza that I unwisely and drunkenly ate today" isn't a new game.
  20. Yeah....no doubt in my mind as to the bolded. Shit, my daughter was squarely in that - she was having her dream year (freshman year of college), and it got cut short. And even though she went back to school after that, the cascade effects, changes to scheduling and study opportunities etc.....well, she felt like she was robbed of something that could have been great, and she wasn't wrong. Now, she got out and about and had and has a social life, but I saw plenty of her peers who did not, and who still haven't caught up.
  21. This is true. It is VERY true. I have experienced it in spades myself. But....it comes with a downside. These communities can indeed see themselves as a more cohesive "us," and "we" who depend on each other....but the also look outward at anyone not in their "us" as a "them," and often not in a good way. It's the flip side of living in a more diverse, urban community. You don't have contempt for "the other" as much because you deal with various flavors of "the other" in your daily life. Shit, the other day I picked up an order at Whataburger. The person who brough my food out was clearly born male, around 50, and dressed up with fabulous makeup, earrings, and his/her hair all did. He/she looked fabulous, and happy. Being a product of living in Austin for 30+ years, I just smiled to myself and thought "get down with your bad self." I know plenty of more rural types who would have thought and even said (although probably after they pulled away) "what the hell was that? Who did that queer think he was fooling?" or something along those lines. And, had he/she shown up in their town....not sure how friendly their greeting would have been. We should all treat each other the way that many rural folks tend to treat each other in their small communities - pitch in together, lend a helping hand. We should all have the tolerance and decency for "others" and "outsiders" the way that many urban folks feel for folks in their cities - live and let live, avoid hurtful judgmentalism. Sure, there are outliers for both (plenty of mean assholes in the city who would have called WB person a queer, plenty of people in rural communities who aren't helpful at all when people need it), but there are general lessons to be learned. The common thread? Treat EVERYONE like "we." And don't just think of the "me."
  22. Not entirely wrong....but let's talk about the decline. We don't have to be as happy as the Finns. We SHOULD be as happy as we were in 2012. We are not. We are selfish. We are mean.
  23. There is also something to be said for that. Dear god....the food alone SHOULD make them depressed. Yet...they are HAPPY to eat....potatoes. And potatoes. And sometimes herring. And more potatoes. And cream sauce. And treating 2 flecks of paprika as "spice." They definitely know how to "be happy with less." Of course, they also drink a lot and have lots of sex (see the Gen Z problem above). Aquavit and getting freaky with other hot Scandinavians goes a LONG way in adding to your happiness score.
  24. The timeline certainly matches up with Gen Z's two big problems: they ain't drinking and partying, and they ain't fuckin'. I look back at that age, and yeah....drinking beer and having a good time with my buddies, and getting some, were key elements in my overall happiness. Shit, I look back on this past weekend, and....same thing.
