  1. I don’t disagree but in these culture “wars” when one side sends such idiotic fucking racist bullshit, I’m not exactly going to be shying away from reaching The Untouchables level of mentality when combating it. To quote Chris rock, I’m Not saying I condone it, just that I understand it. We should have a higher standard but we might need to go Untouchables to settle the issue. Just saying
  2. Aren’t they missing an animal? Could have sworn there was a goat or beaver or some type of varmint that killed a Russian either right before or after the shark.
  3. don't know Tex from adam but i also know dumb fucks were saying trader joe's was racist for how they described their ethnic sections. so his story might be bullshit but it tracks.
  4. that would not be true to the latter part in my experience. definitely hear it amongst lots of people, mixed ethnically or not and of many mixed age groups, and i've been from bars in atx to outside street walking in nyc. But yes, the caveat being it was the soft A and said in reference to friends/family never in a denigrating way of one specific person or group of people. Except that one time when i almost got run over and an arab looking dude, probably egyptian since i was near little egypt, kept wanting to fight me since I flicked him off for running a red and got out of his car to hit me. He could not stop saying it with a hard ER and i'm as mexican as fuck.
  5. thats it? karma should take a whole lot more from their traitor asses
  6. Edit: phone being stupid. I’ll write a response in a second I’d advise the opposite, don’t like a word then don’t get up in arms when used. You don’t get to control others speech.
  7. Y’all don’t really get to be arbiters of “evolution” though and that’s kind of the point
  8. I think I sorta agree but I think it’s one thing to not want to be called by certain language if that has been used to describe your “group”. But quite another to say ok no one ever can say that word when describing anything else. I can’t exactly articulate why that bothers me but it does. Don’t want to say something, cool, but that doesn’t give one the “moral” right to tell others how to speak. A lot of shit is offensive to certain groups
  9. Yeah not picking up which way that leans politically
  10. well i'm a moron for a variety of reasons but today I learned they are pronounced HIGH-mars and VOGner as opposed to him-ars and wag-ner.
  11. Even if he was right… we’d probably help them get rid of nukes and increase trade across the EU. How is any of that bad!!?
  12. Nothing changed. It did do nothing but waste time. Does Seem dumb if the only thing that changed was the day on the calendar
  13. For me, the one on the right is way more user friendly. Other than the accessibility for physically impaired users on 3rd party apps, which seems like a simple carve out could fix, the “protest” seems like a waste of time.
  14. Was going to reply but the first post was way too old and you answered it well. So many good tequilas out right now, and if you don't like additives, plenty to choose from. I personally don't give a shit. If it tastes good, I'll drink it, if it doesn't, I won't; additives be damned. For instance, everyone is tatering the fuck out of Fortaleza but I've had the añejo and blanco on 3 different occasions, just not my bag. Hard pass for me. But if people are going to buy that out, should I really be upset if I don't like it? Not really, just don't want the run on bourbon to cross into tequila. That would fucking suck ass. As to good ones, agree on Ocho, and would add Siembra Valles/Azul, Tapatio, Casachuin Tahona, 7L, Pueblo Viejo, G4, and Lalo. And while I like it, I now it isn't for everyone but i do suggest people try JC Tradicional. Regular JC is obviously crap but Añejo Tradicional is (for me) fantastic at the price point. But speaking of Lalo, does anyone know what austin based means? I don't get how they can be "tequila" and have brands be called 512 or austin based for Lalo. Does it just mean the HQs are in texas but all the plants, fermentation are in Mexico? Aren't there terroir laws and all that? I know Lalo had a grand opening party in austin a month ago or so but still confused on how it all shakes out. Had two bars near me in the last year that sold bad ass tequila. Very out of the blue and one would not expect them to have selections worth a shit. The first sadly closed down cause their idea of a breaded chicken and bacon burrito literally only had one long thin bacon strip in it (and yes I'm using the term correctly). The second, still going strong and a very nice surprise. They have the full 7L lineup, all the Arte Noms, and most G4. They even had G4 madera blanco which was divine. As for 1146, i liked it a lot. I've heard and it could very well be bullshit, but that it's the same juice as the Tears bottles but just made different? Dunno. But it is damn fine stuff. I can find it for $84 near me but just got a bottle of Primo that I had been meaning to buy so gonna finish it first then get the 1146. I will say the 1146 was way better than 1579 but that might be a personal preference, blanco v añejo thing as well.
  15. Can confirm it was crazy orange in queens. Better now but earlier was just nuts. Very Martian/total recall feel to everything
  16. Generally I would agree since they’ve broadcast it as the series finale for at least a year. However, two things. First, recently Rebecca is on the record as saying they just need Ted to sit down and start writing, up to him to decide if there are more seasons. And if there are, it would be a new arc since the current arc is done at 3 seasons. Second, the apple preview page says season finale, not series. Could be minor and completely inconsequential but it’s there.
