Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Eh... I like her and think she has done fine this year (aside from the choice of bar earlier this year) but almost all Credit (not just largest portion) goes to the locals. I personally Don’t really care for the story of how it looks but I do get your meaning. The news needs to seek a story in order to sell ads. but “We” could have done it without her so she did help but she was tangential. Forcing her into the story is A Fox News agenda; and fuck them or buying into anything they say. she said it sucked, great, but This really has nothing to do with her, regardless of good or bad outcomes for lic/ASTORIA/sunnyside

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
How exactly did she help? That shit was way local. Her help was really only fox fixated on her, She has no say on whether amazon comes or doesn’t to LIC. edit: for the record, fuck the lic amazon deal. We all hated it. I called my reps, as did my friends/gf, and told them we were against the deal. No one here looked to aoc for shit. Attributing any part of the deal, good or bad, to aoc is just misinformed.

Bourbon
Stupid question, But asking cause I never check luggage. Nor I guess travel with booze but My brother is visiting nyc next week, and i’m considering buying him a nice bottle (nice to me anyway) for the holidays. If he waits to open it back in Texas, it should be ok when he checks his luggage, right? I’d wait until I go back on the 24th but A) I won’t be there long B) don’t even know where to find pretty okay stuff and C ) I already know a good spot here that sells pretty ok bottles for higher prices than in Austin but still very reasonable by nyc standards. Nothing fancy, thinking WMND since I know he hasn’t had it before. It’s a lot easier if I get it here but no point if there is a big risk of it leaking/popping/etc. thanks in advance!

Texas names Naivar interim DC, elevates George, Coleman to interim Asst Coaches
Not my cup of tea, but pretty sure the gay mafia would be cool with that. To each their own...

Happy Thanksgiving to the Cloak Room. Say something nice.
A snake’s asshole has a higher quality than you or any other trump supporter.

Happy Thanksgiving to the Cloak Room. Say something nice.
Our country will be a better place... once the trumpkin ideology is properly viewed as traitorous un-American child torturing pro-rape shit stains that they are, from the head of state to his common follower in bumblefuck, TX. So we have that going for us, which is nice

I propose a "HELP!" thread for T day cooking
Figured this good as good as any. I am not a baker. Today was the first day I have ever baked anything; no joke. But I use my cast iron quite a bit for regular food. just cooking for me and the gf though. So went to thanksgiving at Gf’s house this year, decided to do a pizzacookie, chocolate chip. It tastes... ok. Not terrible but not mmmhmmmm either. I ate a smaLL piece just now and can taste the granulated brown sugar. Least thing it is the brown sugar. I take it when recipes say brown sugar they don’t mean granulated? Honest question, trying to figure out how to make this better. Or at least good for others who aren’t buzzed off 8 hours of drinking...

NYC Hotels w/o Resort Fees
Not being a dick, but FYI all of Manhattan that a tourist is probably visiting is fairly safe. Same for public transportation, you’ll have options everywhere. On the off chance you end up not near a train, Lyft/Uber/Via are everywhere, cheap, and the wait is minutes if yellow cabs aren’t your thing. Via is like $5 per person anywhere in Manhattan weekdays 6am-8pm; I had to look that one up bc I knew they had the $5 special but didn’t realize the parameters. edit: download the google maps app and the “NYC Subway”; it is a black icon, red circle, with a white train on it. It has ads, but you can ignore or just pay to remove them. Point is, with those two you’ll be able to navigate the subway while looking at your phone like a normal New Yorker and not look like a tourist, if you are worried about that sorta thing.

NCAA Week 13
Yup, did well after bettIng hard on EMI once it looked like NIU was doing bad after the first quarter. Bowling green finding a heartbeat on offense sucked though. Not sure how to play Akron tonight since 6.5 tt is low but maybe something in the first half? Miami Ohio ain’t horrible on offense Like the top three, haven’t looked at the bottom but makes sense. Thinking hard about IU but isn’t their main receiver out? Otherwise lots of other variables do point to a cover.

NCAA Week 12
yeah, holy shit this texas game was insane. took texas +7 for the game, then at some point in the 2nd quarter took texas +10.5. at halftime i said fuck it and bet 2nd half ML on texas and 2nd half texas +3. figured if texas did well and scored like they did at the end of the first half no way we lose. did a quick drunk mental math and with a halftime score of 7-10, no way we wouldn't score two more times at least. And even if they scored once, all my picks would win and UT squeaks one out. literally the only possibility my drunk ass didn't figure was we score 14 and they hit 13 for the win. sorry y'all, this one is on me and the shitty special teams.

Official 2019 bitch about family/holiday drama thread
Damn, that sucks. Can’t wait for updates! Hope you have enough alcohol handy though. not taking sides since bringing a dog over that shits and pisses everywhere is really foul and should always be avoided, but if the home dog pisses/shits everywhere, can they really tell if the piss/shit belonged to the home or visitor dog? Ruined doors aside, Kind of pointless to get mad at shit/piss everywhere only bc it was from a different dog (as opposed to not having any shit/piss anywhere).

Tell me about New York City
It is amazing museum and I’m guilty of this, but hate the commercialism. I bought one small fridge magnet in the gift shop in the basement since it was there but I’ll be dammed if I didn’t feel a little sick to my stomach doing it. I get they need funding too but wouldn’t mind if they got rid of the entire store there. And all the happy selfies around the footsteps. Not saying people need to be morose statues but have a little respect people.

Official 2019 bitch about family/holiday drama thread
i feel for ya but gotta disagree with you on this part. Think thats more a depends on the person kind of thing. At least in my experience, plenty of members of the tribe got down with drinking. good luck either way.

Cartels ambush Mormons in Mexico
Considering the state of the current “mafia” in this country, is this really your best argument against legalization? Who cares if they go legit? That’s a win win. Creates jobs, lessens violence, hell we might get one or two versions of a latino Kennedy clan out of it.

Running thread of white people calling cops on people of color for everyday stuff...
I agree it’s hard to fathom a national chain doing something so blatant, and concede bc of that it does smell fishy. I’ll wait to get more info but the noise complaint doesn’t fly. like others pointed out, these types of bars are meant to be loud. From the bar area to the seated area. If the dude didn’t like noise, a bbw at that time of night would be the last logical place to be. I was only there once but it was pretty white, far out suburban Chicago. Can’t say I saw more than a handful of minorities, even my cousin out there is rather fair skinned and definitely passes.
