  1. JFC, I'm going to need rest and gatorade at this point.
  2. This is the flip to my dark post above about low propensity voters turning out: What if, instead, the media, bitten twice by narratives that Trump overperformed his polling, is intentionally downplaying her competitiveness, both to avoid being pantsed again, and for commercial reasons ("THEY ARE NECK AND NECK DOWN THE STRETCH, FOLKS, STAY TUNED IN!!!"). Instead, women and late decideing indies break heavily towards Harris, because Dobbs and autocracy blows, and the whole thing ends up being a bit of a laugher for Harris.
  3. This. If he pulls it off, then he'll win in a landslide, and we will have a new world order. And we all need to be prepared for that. That's my moment of darkness for today.
  4. In general, I have a long standing position that except in cases where biologist led population control is necessary, I don't think you should be allowed to use weapons to kill predators above you on the food chain. It's messing with god's law.
  5. Somebody recycle the airplane story and let's just get it out of the way.
  6. Uh, I was also under the impression that assuming you could isolate a domestic product from an increase in prices due to foriegn inputs (which is virtually impossible in our modern global trade based world)...classic economics (as well as real world examples) suggest that domestic producers will not forgo the ability to generate extra profits by also raising prices to tariff inflated prices (or just below). Why would I sell you a MADE IN THE USA widget at a 20% discount from my foriegn made competitor when there is a guaranteed government profit cushion?
  7. Love to snack on kitty. Wait, what are we talking about?
  8. Um...I'm not getting any work done. Duh. I have two agency Requests for Information I'm supposed be drafting before my General Counsel goes on vacation and let me sum up how it's going:
  9. That moment when the Surl makes me feel like a paste eating child is always special.
  10. Maybe he can take his asshat friends with him and we can have Centex back. Damn, I miss Marathon:
  11. The Texas High Plains is easily one of the most beautiful and compelling places I've ever been. Despite being an Austin boy to the core my entire life, I get why people are so drawn to West Texas.
  12. When I went to Big Bend, I flew out of El Paso at the end of the trip. I really, really liked it, but it felt like an entirely different place than the Texas I know in the Dallas, Austin, SAT, Houston box. Doesn't surprise me at all that most people in El Paso give zero fucks about contemporary events in the rest of the state.
  13. It's an own goal in the sense it didn't have to happen and Biden remains a gaffe machine, as he has been his entire life. This is why Harris has kept him off the campaign trail. But it won 't mean shit in the grand scheme of things.
  14. Well, I watched it from my Condo and went and got another glass of wine, so you may be on to something.
  15. I believe in credit where credit is due.
  16. I want to remind everyone that the only ironclad rule of cloakroom is to not Football the sub.
  17. Do you guys spin up Immamac just for the sport of it?
  18. You can drink whatever you want, brother. I’m not gonna judge. It’s all about the friends we make along the way.
  19. Also it’s almost fucking impossible to gain residency in Canada. We can all hang out at the Taco stand wherever we end up in Mexico. First round of Bohemia is on me.
  20. I’m convinced people in 100 years will look back on @dril as one of the greatest artists of our generation.
