  1. And we wonder why Texas home insurance premiums are so fucking high. Every Texan is subsidizing and enabling these fuckheads and their bought whore officials to make hundreds of millions. Socialize the losses, privatize the profits. That should be Texas state motto. But yes, let's keep voting for the same assholes because unisex restrooms are the most important issue of all. The allure of Houston is relative cheap housing. Well yea, it's fucking built on a flood plain.
  2. I have a friend who went to high school with her. He said she was really nice, but who the fuck wasn't nice in high school? Well, beside Erin, you cunt!
  3. Obvious question, if they can't protect her from some drunk jackass wanting to cop a feel, how the fuck are they supposed to protect her from the Cartels?
  4. Throwing millions at the homeless will only attract more homeless to come here. Some homeless dudes in Pennsylvania will hear about all the free money we're giving out and hop on the next Greyhound to Austin. Some church in Abilene will hear about all the free millions we are giving out and send more homeless to Austin. Shit is never ending.
  5. As a kid, I could not tolerate that voice and her incessant whining, with that same voice. She's the reason I never got into the Muppets. They want me to watch 2 hours of it?
  6. I have never read the books or played the game. Don't know shit about it other than the Netflix series. I was stoked at shit watching S1. S2, ok still good. S3, started losing interest. I'm 4 episodes into S4 and basically said fuck this bullshit. Stories and plots are weak as fuck. For 2 episodes I had no idea who the mysterious dude in black was then finally realized it was Emyr, or whatever his name is. So he wants to fuck his daughter to have super kids? Is that in the book? And the wizard who unexpectedly becomes this super wizard makes me go, huh? I'm out.
  7. So sanity ruled and Prop Q got shot the fuck down. Maybe this will start a trend of fiscal responsibility and stop the madness of bullshit bonds. One can dream, right?
  8. I'd eat the fuck out of that, lick the plate clean. Take a giant shit. Then have another giant helping of that delicious enchilada.
  9. Didn't want to start a new thread. If you can't grope the president, who can you grope? Video in the link. Man gropes Mexico president as she speaks with citizens on the streets Video shows man trying to kiss and embrace Claudia Sheinbaum, highlighting both security risk and harassment faced by Mexican women https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/05/man-gropes-mexico-president-claudia-sheinbaum Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico, has been groped by a man as she mingled with citizens on the streets of Mexico City, raising questions about the lack of presidential security and the level of sexual harassment faced by the country’s women. A video of the incident on Tuesday shows a visibly drunk man trying to kiss the president on the neck and embrace her from behind, as she removes his hands and turns to face him, before a government official steps in and places himself between them.
  10. Absolutely right. The real video is of Trump sucking Putin's dick.
  11. Why the fuck yall don't Ana on ignore is beyond me? Dude is a fucking idiot and never misses a chance to show his ass.
  12. Anything to "reduce" taxes, even ones which have never existed. Performative bullshit.
  13. In their defense, if they are donating multiple millions every year, they rightfully want a say. NIL and the fierce need for money changed everything.
  14. Keeping up with the Joneses takes a Tol on a person.
  15. We joke, but on occasions she would raise questions about fiscal responsibilities. I think she even sometimes voted against stupid shit spending. She was one of the very few who ever did.
  16. https://apnews.com/article/dennys-investors-deal-private-company-f626f6b8c27f29f698a5c823ba855fc3 Denny’s to be acquired and taken private in a deal valued at $620 million This man is not amused.
  17. A follow up question is what ROI did we get for that $100M? What are the recurring costs for? Do we still need them? I get it that it's free government money but is the city obligated to any ROI analysis, or do they get to spend money on absolute shit and then beg for more money to maintain that absolute shit?
  18. I voted NO to every Prop but 2. Won't matter. Every Prop except Prop Q will pass.
  19. I cannot wait until Trump honors this death. I'm sure it will be dignified and respectful.
  20. America First, Bitches. We are swimming in all the manufacturing plants that have moved here!!!!!!
  21. Fuck your $1T pay package. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/04/norway-sovereign-wealth-fund-rejects-elon-musks-1-trillion-pay-deal.html Norway’s mega wealth fund to reject Elon Musk’s $1 trillion Tesla pay package
  22. 3500 sq ft house is just a giant waste of money and time in terms of heating/cooling, furniture just to fill empty of life unused rooms, and cleaning. I guess if you are a fat ass who never leaves your house, maybe a 3500 sq ft house makes you feel better about yourself. I'd rather have a 17-1800 3 bed 2 bath house at 6000 ft in the foothills of Colorado than have a 10,000 sq ft house in whichever shitty Texas town not named Austin. When you live somewhere with amazing weather and a shitton of free shit to do, your urge for stupid materialistic shit goes away. I don't need that $80k truck with a 8 year payment and a 3,500 sq ft house filled with shit I'm never going to use to compensate for how miserable my life is.
  23. I worked in VZ for over 15 years. I worked for another small telecom company who was a supplier to the big 3 (4 at the time). Mostly companies "want" to be good at cyber security, up to a point. I don't think you can ever build Fort Knox around a network. There are just way too many points of entry from switches, routers, corporate spies, to Joe Blow clicking on a phishing link. Maybe Fort Knox can be built, but it'll be expensive as fuck. But even then it won't protect you from the threats which have already been installed and lay dormant. Cyber security is all cost. You can't market and sell that you spend $200M a year on protecting your network, knowing that's not going to be enough. That dictates the smaller guy's attention to it. But having government regulations requiring something will at least make some companies spend money on cyber security. The leadership at the small company did not want to do anything. We were mandated by our customers (the big 3). Even then it was the least amount (cheapest) effort possible.
  24. I don't know how much he was "living" after the first 2 or 3.
  25. more #winning. I wonder how long this anti-American sentiment lasts after Trump. Companies are pivoting to non-US suppliers and will sign long term contracts. Consumers are creatures of habit. When they shift brands, they don't usually go back. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-factories-rocked-unprecedented-rise-181751859.html US factories rocked by ‘unprecedented’ rise in unsold stock US factories are suffering from an “unprecedented” rise in unsold stock as Donald Trump’s trade war hits their overseas sales. American manufacturers’ unsold inventory soared at the fastest pace in more than 18 years in October, according to the S&P Global Manufacturing purchasing manager’s index (PMI). Businesses reported that their production exceeded overall demand after tariffs saw their export orders slump for the fourth month in a row. Sales declined to key markets such as Canada, China, Europe and Mexico, which have all been hit by steep new US tariffs. Although Mr Trump’s tariffs apply to imports from these countries, it seems they have also had a damaging impact on US sales abroad. Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said the surge in unsold stock was “worrying” and “unprecedented”. Mr Williamson said: “[It was] widely linked to weaker than anticipated sales to customers, especially in export markets, which could trigger a downshifting of production in the coming months unless demand revives.” Business confidence among consumer goods producers fell to a two-year low as manufacturers became concerned about future demand. Mr Williamson added: “Firms [are] growing increasingly worried about household spending in the US and falling sales to consumers in export markets.”
