    Wait…contempt for people who claim to be above politics (which is a lie, of course) is the same as…me storming the capitol to overthrow the government? Gotta say…not following the analogy there. At all.
    And yes. I agree with John Stuart Mill:

    “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”

    If you see harm being done in your name, and you do nothing, you’re not a good man. This is not a particularly radical take.

    or 

    “The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.” – Samuel Johnson

    I dunno. I’m pretty good mocking Nazis and insisting that I’m right. Not that I’m perfect, but yeah, I’m right. Sometimes, one side is really fucking bad.
    “I don’t do politics” is cowardly and contemptuous of the people who suffer and die as a result of political decisions.
    When your fellow man is suffering and dying as a direct result of policies (politics), saying “I don’t do politics” is saying “fuck you, I don’t care what happens to you.” I find that pretty reprehensible, but I’m aware that in the United Selfish States of America today, that view is condemned. You should only care about yourself, and getting yours.

    ...but the Nazis!  

    Nice, now your "fellow man" who chooses to not get involved in politics is a coward and should be the target of contempt, for not getting involved, because from that inaction people suffer and die.  Listen to yourself. You sound as hyperbolic and extreme as the idiots that stormed the capital for Trump and the morons on the opposite end of the spectrum all rolled into one.

    That you define political apathy as a "fuck you" and that it is reprehensible is so you.  That bad man that doesn't think like me, he bad. He must be a bootlicking Nazi lover. Ha!

    Taking a faux principled stance of "I am above politics and everyone on #bothsides is bad" only contributes to the problem, in that you are insisting that what we are in right now is the ideal state and we shouldn't try any harder.

    Not it does not.  Being on either side and mocking the other while insisting on your point is "right" is the fucking problem.  Furthermore, your thinking that because he doesn't share your worldview he somehow sees the world as "ideal" and "has no need of betterment" just goes to show how binary your thinking is.

    Jesus I love the guy and do think he’s a leader but this speaks more about how slobbish and unthoughtful some of the guys are more than anything. Some kids were at the house yesterday and doors left open and things left out. I closed all the doors, can I have a press conference (and an NFL contract) saying how amazing I am because I closed the doors? 

    you had most of the Surly at your home yesterday?

    For store bought tortillas, these are pretty damn good.

    I would take the recommendations above as far as finding the Mexican neighborhoods.  It shouldn't be too hard to find a paneria to get some tortillas from.  If you keep them in the refrigerator, they should last a couple of weeks.  As far as corn or flour, Henry James nailed it with his post above.  Corn tortillas for breakfast tacos is an awful idea. 

    These uncooked ones are the best HEB has to offer. They are next to the biscuits. Better than their fresh baked, imho.

    The Texan in Schulenberg has become my fueling stop going back to Houston from South Texas. It has the benefit of being across the Highway from a Whataburger so I can order online while filling up. Massive time-saver.

    Team The Texan...same shit (and amount of shitters) better quality and prices
