  1. Loved the series. Ending closed really strong with a cool "message". Really happy there is a season 2. Look forward to more Murderbot shenanigans.
  2. Her pics indicate she has a conservative personality dress style. Lots of pant suites or more cause jeans and tanks tops. Super cute.. Wheel house.
  3. Social media, it's algorithms, group think and circle jerks have absolutely lead to increased conspiracy theory folks. It gives them validation into their thoughts, however illogical, and "verification" of the insanity. Flat earth was something I'd never even heard of until a couple of years ago. To be clear, it's not just conspiracy theorist. You see it in other extremes as well. Identity politics and celebrity worship are two other areas that have been recent growth areas but political "teaming" has only grown in it's extremes as well. Getting back to the subject at hand, having extreme conspiracy theory on one side of covid, and extreme fear mongering on the other ultimately lead to divide that could potentially plague all should such a pandemic ever occur again, as the divide between is greater and a cohesive response far less likely.
  4. Disclosure and requests for prospect volunteers I wanted to provide some quick disclosures, why and some requests for those willing to volunteer. 1) I am going to create an internal, private file share between @TexasEd and @InkaUtexas The file will be to organize volunteers and resources. It will only be internal between the 3 of us. In full disclosure I wanted to make people aware. 2) There maybe be some small group emails, but any such communication will be fully BCC accept where specific members of the group have clearly requested otherwise. 3) If you're wanting to volunteer to help us best align resources to need please PM me, @InkaUtexas and @TexasEd Include the following information when known: -Name you prefer us to use for communication (Surly handle is fine) -Email address and phone (it will stay internal or BCC only as noted in disclosures above) no concerns if you generate a random Gmail or use Google voice or similar tools as long as you check them. -Assistance you are able to provide -Broad time frames you are available -Any resources you're willing/able to provide in efforts
  5. Following up on time frames. Typically, urgent help is most needed post recovery aspects which are occurring now. For quick clarification, recovery is the hardest psychologically as it includes dealing with death and usually it leaves the survivors mentally worn out. Post recover is clean up/restoration. This is when houses will be cleaned up and repaired when possible. Trash is removed and where possible folks try to move back or start preparing for rebuilding. This time frame varies but is generally it is about 7-14 after recovery efforts have ended. In order to best organize. It's the primary focus of our efforts as it's when the flood victims tend to get the least help, and sadly need it the most. We want to start now as organization efforts take time. First, we need an assessment of where help is needed. By that I mean actual locations, homes, apartments and a general assessment of what help is needed. This aspect allows for effective and efficient deployment of resources which include man power and goods. You don't want to send people driving out with nothing to do, going where help is not needed, or worse missing people that need help or not bringing proper resources. Hence, why we are trying to organize now. Currently the most important aspect is contacts in the region to start the needs assessment. Second is an effort to begin collecting cleaning goods and ppe. To that end a lockable trailer, location to stow said trailer and someone with a vehicle capable of dispatch is an important aspect. Those that can't go out and spend time in field can help with finding a trailer, finding a location for the trailer, receiving cleaning materials, organizing materials, finding people to donate materials. Current needs in order of priority: 1) Contacts within the effected area that can provide input on need areas 2) Someone to engage with those contacts for preliminary assessments. (I will be helping here) 3) A list of people willing to volunteer time and tools they have available. (The team will start putting these together from volunteers found in this thread and elsewhere) These are Seal Team Surly volunteers. 4) Field assessment @InkaUtexas will be leading those efforts 5) Allocation of known resources to known specific locations of need post assessment. I will work with @TexasEd and @InkaUtexas to assist in this effort. 6) A lockable trailer than can be used for a while or someone willing to fund a Uhaul cost for a couple of weeks. 7) A location to stow trailer and someone with a vehicle that can dispatch/tow trailer to need location(s) 😎 Volunteers to organize/receive donations at trailer (Surly Volunteers) 9) cleaning supply donations for trailer (Surly Volunteers)
  6. Are you under 20?
  7. Um... not sure if this was sarcasm cause... Grand Canyon University Shady Shit Doh!!!
  8. He's producing content pretty regularly. It might be a back burner long con grift, but its absolutely a grift. I don't have the stomach to dive deeply into aggie hive mind and dig around to determine his click through and repost ratios. I just know a play when I see one. It's too much in alignment with aggie. It may well be a chat gbt long con he runs for quick turn content, but he understands what the hive mind needs and wants.
  9. So does lime disease.
  10. He responded later I THINK after the SEC CG. Basically, iirc, "Missed it by that much" "Lots of great stuff for the future" "kept it close" "ran out of time" "Texas not really that good" pretty standard aggie food. He keeps them well fed, his grift is strong.
  11. "All the videos were just recording of Epstein doing his thing. He recorded them for himself. Nobody else is in any of the videos cause, of course, you'd turn off the recording when you had guests." Seriously... that's what's being sold. Well. The last sentence is me... but.. that's what's implied if nobody else is on them.
  12. Good call, Permethrin spray for socks, pants, shoes and shirts is also a fantastic add on in wet, hot work. (Note put it on night before, let it dry) Can be found at placed like academy, Walmart and REI
  13. "Wrong! We love the Ukraine. I'd just love to help them and put the resources in to rebuild. We just love building. It's great. We're talking about the best place to do it and I think they want to provide the location. That's gonna be fantastic, we love good locations."
  14. Minor fix. I have never been to Russia so my experience is based on Russian Nationals or immigrants I've met through my life and in my travels. In HS a couple of my friends immigrated with their mother. I never got the full details of their youth, not even sure they knew their whole story but their outlook would mirror a lot of other Russians I ended up meeting. That long ass preface to say, while you might find hope in parts and pieces there always seemed to be an underlying bleakness to everyone of them I knew with depth. It wasn't out front in their personality but the more you go to know them the more it tended to surface. A sort of a "fuck it" rebel without a cause sort of view. That's the only thing I can add to mindset and I fully acknowledge its certainly not an in depth or vastly knowledgeable one.
  15. Well, one is Spanish, one is Murican. One has "more" Penelope, and doesn't have the Murican' stupid splainin' going on. I know which of the 3, including Open Your Eyes, I like most, but I'm gonna shut my keystrokes and stop completely derailing this thread.
  16. It's a different thread but a discussion of Open Your Eyes, Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut would be an interesting one. I think there are interesting parts and those 3 compare well, but others might just think my take stupid. For the record, of them, Open Your Eyes is far and away the best film, imo. I don't think Eyes Wide Shut was a bad film... rather had issues. I think Kurosawa could be on that list potentially. Anyway, I didn't find Oppenheimer to be a terrible film just overly focused on the psychological aspects rather than the leaning into the insane story around the facts and reality of the development. It's an insane story the depths of which should have been the focus but weren't.
  17. I love voidzilla/coffeezilla for his exposure of all sorts of scammers particularly bitcoin conartist. His summation below expresses essentially exactly how I feel about the topic.
  18. It is a show that certainly isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. It's an odd mix of genres but I found it very entertaining and enjoyable.
  19. I'm doing the best to read the tea leaves but our POTUS has historically always liked to back whatever he perceives as a winner. Now to define his meaning of winner is beyond tricky. That said between his desire to be on the "winning team", recent events noted in that article and some folks on his own team pushing for it... well I would move it past wish casting. I'll never claim to be able to predict his moves though. However, if he goes against it now, history may end up writing him in as backing a loser. (I dont think he cares that it's an evil tyrant) That's potentially very bad for his legacy which is the only thing he cares deeply for beyond money and power.
  20. Trump criticizes Putin after approving more weapons for Ukraine - Reuters Link "We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin ... He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless," Trump said 🙄 The bill, whose lead sponsors are Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, would also punish other countries that trade with Moscow, imposing 500% tariffs on nations that buy Russian oil, gas, uranium and other exports. If these two are agreeing upon it, perhaps some others should listen.
  21. I'm responding to you but in a broader stroke others as well. Based on my recent experience with the horrible flooding in Eastern Kentucky and Western North Carolina, and broader experience, this process takes time. In about a week or 2, when the news cycles have diminished and attention has dropped off is when more needs will arrise. I don't claim to know exactly what those will be. Sometimes is trash pick up or driving people around, some times just psychological help, sometimes it's chain saws and hauling gear. It varies greatly, but the need is there. @West Kerr Horn noted it briefly but this will take longer than the news cycle will bring attention. Typically, that's when help is needed the most. I'd plug into on of the churches or find a contact out that way and stay tuned in for updates in the near future. That's when you will likely be of the most help. That, of course, can always change, needs might arrise sooner, but typically it is a week or 2 after the event, when most people have moved on that the greatest need for help occur.
  22. That's not what I was talking about. Explaining it you is a waste of time and key stokes. You've always made it clear in every thread that anyone who disagrees with your opinion is factually wrong despite opinions being subjective. You're not in these threads to discuss opinions nor your thoughts on movies, you come in here to tell people why they're stupid and have bad opinions. It's super cool and productive.
  23. Is there a new kink feature in sex bots that aggie has created? I mean.. it tracks but... it's news to me.
  24. Ehhh... I agree it's definitely niche knowledge/conspiracy but I think its a bit broader than you're painting it out to be. For me it ties into the Smiley Face Murder conspiracy which, while niche, is not a small niche. I am very hesitant to go to downtown Austin. Mostly cause its a 14 hour drive for me and I'm too old. Smiley Face Wiki For the record I met @Nicole44 once near a body of water where alcohol was involved and lived to tell tail. Though I did find her parting comment to me a bit disconcerting. "You seem like a nice guy, if a little old, short and fat, but in a pinch... Nice to me you!"
