    From an electoral college perspective, Texas had enough electoral votes to swing the election.

    It’s no wonder why the GOP is terrified of Texas going blue.

    Uh, really?  Such brilliant analysis. 

    You love / live to post here.  Can you lay it down for a day? One day?  Serious.

    Gotta protect those slave states, errrr, small states.

    Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, etc.  the hotbed of slavery.  You nailed it.  Take a day off.

    It doesn't. Socratic method means asking questions. The questions he asks he answers himself immediately, no waiting or latency; he is setting himself up because he loves to hear himself talk and is a godawful listener and participant in back-and-forth because he's not listening to understand, he's listening to formulate his next argument. 

    Self-awareness evades you.

    I’m curious as well. I would ask you, what do they do now? Many factory jobs went oversees or were automated. The youths say it is incredibly hard to find a job now. (There wasn’t a lot of jobs 20 years ago either) 

    What are the people doing without jobs? Are the parents supporting them? Is the government? Probably both. 

    I hear you.  Outside of compensation for work provided, just passing the time of day with nothing to do other than clown around all day seems to play right into the devil's hands.

    Retirement age is not to far off for me.  If I just stone cold retired and had nothing to look forward to other than playing golf all of the time or some other activity like that I think I would go insane.  As of now, I would prefer to work until I just physically can't do it anymore.

    I like working.  Work provides structure, goals and a sense of acheivment.

    I wish they would hurry the fuck up.

    What would you do with your life?  

    We make fun of shitty jobs, a-hole employers, retarded co-workers and so on but if lots of jobs are automated then what will the average schmuck do all day long?  Sure, the funny answers will come piling in and I will laugh at them but people need work.  Work provides self-worth and order.  There are already enough slobs with no jobs breathing up oxygen.  We don't need more.

    Or - "let me explain"....  No just answer the question - "yes" or "no"

    “Let me explain” is what I call “making snowballs.”   They are in your office nervously explaining something while pressing their cupped hands together like they’re making snowballs.  

    Yes, book fags, I lifted that from A Man In Full by Tom Wolfe.

    People that can't answer a question in the format required.  If you are asked "How many ..." and your answer does not include a number, fuck you.  If you are asked "When ..." or "How long ago ..." and your answer does not include a date or some number associated with a calendar unit (days/weeks/months/years), fuck you.  All day long with this shit.

    Jeez. You know my employees?

    I say, “the only possible 2 answers to the question I’m about to ask you are ‘yes’ or ‘no.’  Please provide me with a “yes” or a “no.”

    The typical reply I get:  “uh, uh, green?”

  8. My out of state niece played club and HS soccer and would come to Texas when the big club tourneys would be in SA or Dallas.  We'd go see her play and watch teams from all over the US.  

    The Lonestar parents were, embarrassingly, the biggest douche bag A-holes there.   I'm hoping they were all CA transplants.

  9. Sent my payment out to the IRS PO Box in Charlotte, NC before the deadline.

    I noticed the check hasn't cleared my bank.  LO and BEHOE the entire envelope was returned to me by the dear USPS as "Return to Sender - Not Deliverable As Addressed."

    Went back and checked the address in Charlotte again.  The envelope was addressed to a tee as prescribed.

    So, while we're firing the IRS can we fire the USPS, too?

    Well, you gotta understand a few things.

    1 -- my parents were from the poverty class, or damned close to it.  And we were firmly lower middle class most of my life.  So, packed sandwiches on roadtrips and whatnot were the order of the day.  And our hunting camps and fishing set up were pretty damned rudimentary.  No power, water, fancy shit like that.  I stayed in a cabin that was built using leftover campaign signs from my aunt's last race for county clerk (she held the office for 20 years).  Not fancy, but it kept out the wind and rain.

    2 -- caveat: my dad's mexican.  SO, if we were going to the beach....shit was totally different.  Mexicans don't do baloney sammiches at the beach.  Oh no, we packed up the Weber kettle grill, and bags full of marinated fajitas, ribs, and whatnot.  And dad built a good charcoal fire and grilled stuff for lunch.  We ate like kings (kings eating really cheap cuts of meat) at the beach.

    Luxury!!!! 

    I got a handful of hot gravel for supper and slept in a rolled up newspaper in the bottom of a septic tank.

    Come on man, you are fucking rookies.  For hunting, offshore fishing, or camping, you don't do it like that.  You have one cooler for food.  All food is in zip loc bags.  And you use frozen water bottles, not ice, to keep everything cold.  You're better than that.

     

    I told you I wasn't in charge of the food.  I was after that fiasco.  We ate like kings from then on.
