  1. Ralph wants to know the truth from pathological liar.
  2. Per chatgpt The song you're describing sounds like "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" by The Temptations, released in 1972. While the song is more famous, it does convey themes of a father’s influence and the responsibilities left to his son. However, since you mentioned the singer wasn't very famous, you might be thinking of “Ain't No Sunshine” by Bill Withers, which also has a soulful tone about loss and longing. Another possibility could be "The Last Time" by The Rolling Stones, but that doesn't fit your description of a black male singer. If these don’t match, consider “Just the Two of Us” by Bill Withers, which captures a father-son dynamic, though it’s more about guidance than loss. If none of these songs resonate, there may be other lesser-known tracks from that era by artists like Curtis Mayfield or Jimmy Ruffin that fit your description.
  3. My guess is they were using FedEx 3PL services. Warehouse space, warehouse and office staff, IT infrastructure, software integration, inbound and outbound freight and shipping costs, international brokerage services, and other value added services. Some of those costs can be shared across multiple companies but lindell probably wanted his own exclusive space because pillows are so proprietary.
  4. So lemme get this straight. Dan brought larry flint to the capitol to export texas values. Makes sense.
  5. A brighter future for all you say? Neon is pretty damn bright.
  6. Started Going “We are all busy here”. Translation - these motherfuckers don’t know shit about fuck and are fucking up our wallets. Every day is a new shitshow, and we paid for this shit.
  7. I binged this last night /this morning. I’m kinda wondering how I missed this 10 year thing. Maybe I heard about it and then forgot about it. The clues for the next hunt are intriguing. Lots of numbers being dropped.

    Lord huron has a tour this year kicking off in july. If an album is gonna drop seems like it would soon.
  9. I ended up missing most of the show. I had the most Texan injury in the history of ever. Scene: The time is 7:45 PM. Location is the entrance to Longhorn Ballroom. GenXer is ready for the show. I’m walking to the entrance to show my ticket. Pulling it up on my phone. There’s two groups of people standing in front of the entrance. There’s about three feet of opening. I walk to the opening. There’s a woman on the far right of the left side group of people. She’s wearing a felt cowboy hat . As I move to the opening, she turns to her right and the brim of her cowboy hat hits me directly in the eye. I can feel the scratch on my cornea as I try to blink out the pain. No such luck. I try to fight off the pain and tell myself I can work through it. I lasted about a hour before calling it quits and driving home with one operable eye and tears streaming out of the other. It was bad. if you went to the show and saw some guy holding his left eye, that was me. I went to the eye doctor yesterday, and the cornea in my left eye had an 80% abrasion. I’m just now able to withstand any light.
  10. I hadn’t even noticed the discussion on adolescence here. I started it last night and watched the entire series. The episode where they go to the store was amazing. One continuous take- house, drive, store, drive, house. And the emotional shifts were incredible.
  11. Great. The poor stupid people voted themselves into a education death spiral. They will celebrate this until they can’t afford the maintenance on their dope ass football stadium. Looking forward to the day when these kids enter the workforce and can’t do the math to correctly estimate projects.
  12. Black rebel motorcycle club hitting austin and dallas in oct I will likely do the austin show because I’m in town for COTA F1 on oct 19.
  13. Proper dress required
  14. I’m somewhat of an acquaintance of a tech billionaire. Very unassuming guy. He wouldn’t catch a second glance from anyone. He rang the bell on wall street twice as the founder of both companies. Hard to imagine he’s evil. He made his money and is retired. I’ve spoken with him on several occasions. He’s a genuinely nice guy.
  15. I’m not talking about hate. I’m talking about fear. The message: Be afraid of ai; it’s manipulating you. Be afraid of robotics; it’s taking your job. Be afraid of cloud computing; it has all your data and is selling it. Fight big tech.
  16. The play is to splinter the OG maga from the tech bro maga. Scare dems into voting because big tech is gonna steal your identity and take your social security. I’ve personally had my SSN stolen several years ago and some unknown big tech entity filed a false tax return for me without my knowledge. The IRS dedicates significant resources to combat this. Making the villain an idea as opposed to one person makes the villain everlasting. Deep state, anyone? Was the tesla survey taken recently? Doubtful.
  17. Republicans create a villain leading into each election cycle - obamacare, CRT, DEI, socialism, trans, antifa, caravans - using their propaganda outlets. Once the villain is established in the minds of the gullible, they connect the villain to the democrat candidate. Dems need to utilize the same play. The villain is Big Tech. Hammer away the message consistently now until July 2026. Big Tech controls you. Big Tech is stealing your money. Big Tech is stealing your freedom. Over and over. Big tech becomes this vague thing that is the reason for personal failures. In Jun 2026, introduce the slogan - Fight Big Tech In Aug 2026, hang the big tech albatross around every republican neck. Musk is the low hanging fruit here.
  18. Houndmouth at longhorn ballroom on thursday
  19. I remember seeing this live and was on a game thread back in the day. They are their own punchline.
  20. The Fraud is an appropriate name for trump
  21. That pretty much nails it. Although my head was in the toilet when my ass wasn’t there.
  22. I wanted to die. If that counts.
  23. I spent at least 6 hours in the restroom on a flight from frankfurt to dallas. I got food poisoning in bangalore that set in on my connecting flight from bangalore to frankfurt. Constipation was not my problem. The flight attendants would check on me every hour or so to make sure I was still alive. I think they did ask me to open the door a couple of times under the guise of giving me water. If memory serves, I did have my pants on.
  24. Just watched The Tornado about the 2011 Joplin MO tornado. They told the story from the viewpoint of five different individuals / groups of people. Some shocking things they went through. The physical focal point of the documentary was on joplin high school. I was born in joplin, and my grandmother’s house was 2 blocks south of joplin high school. She was at home when the tornado hit. It side swiped her house on the north side and destroyed it. The doc shows shots of houses torn to nothingness. It’s likely those shots were taken in the streets near her home. I called my uncle who lives on the southern outskirts of joplin as the national news broke about it. He drove to her house and couldn’t find her. After the tornado passed, she walked to a neighbor’s house that was mostly standing. She ended up going to the hospital. That’s where my uncle found her. In the documentary, you’ll see one white building standing in a field of destruction; that’s the hospital.
