i've wanted to post this in numerous threads, but there's too many that it applies to...and they aren't even all political lol
some of y'all may follow The Oatmeal and have seen this. i saw it when the author first shared it several years ago. coincidentally it was shortly after i'd had a discussion with my mother that went something like this:
mom: right wing bs that was demonstrably false
me: "that is a lie"
mom: "no it's not!"
me: picks up phone to google reality...
mom: "oh, don't try and get me with facts!"
me: 😳
i'm sure many of y'all have had similar conversations. and obviously we all have this same conversation online daily.
a couple of weeks later i saw this...i found it fascinating and it explains so much.
it has caused me since to basically 'double check' myself when presented with a position counter to something i have thought, and i like to think that effort has made me a better/smarter/more critical thinker.
unfortunately it also makes me think there is literally no way out of our current political discourse. these seeds have been sown and are here for good.
anyway... interested to see thoughts on it...
You're not going to believe what i'm about to tell you...

This country is far more just and nowhere near where it was 100 years ago. The Tulsa riot was a tragedy, but it has almost nothing to do with where we are today in terms of race relations. Some folks seem to want to play that angle for political gain.
it wasn't a gotdamn riot. you give yourself away.

There were no bear cubs in that clip. It was a play on words and how the situation was reversed from the saying's typical usage, so I was talking about the human momma bear and her "cubs," i.e. puppies.
yes, there are two to the left of the mama bear, you see them run off right at the beginning...
but your point stands, that woman was thinking about nothing but her pups! 🐶
mama bear was prolly like...

Wrote and directed: Wind River, Those Who Wish Me Dead (he originally just wrote Those Who Wish Me Dead, but when the other director backed out, Sheridan said he would direct it “only if Angelina was going to be the lead”)
He also has written and directed all of Yellowstone
Wrote: Sicario, Sicario 2 (which his script was heavily changed before production), Hell or High Water, Without Remorse (supposedly Without Remorse also had problems getting off the ground as well)from this i'd say his biggest flaw is terrible casting...supermodel glam Jolie as a rugged outdoorsy forest firefighter and perpetual 'good guy' Costner as head of a criminal mafia-style family lol 😄

Because she was an outspoken critic of Trump. I think the party would like to move past all the election controversy nonsense and rhetoric and move forward and that’s best done with a united front.
i just came back to neg you for this in particular because PEOPLE FUCKING DIED AS A RESULT OF 'THE ELECTION CONTROVERSY NONSENSE AND RHETORIC'.
their deaths are at the hands of you and others like you as much as they are Hawley, Cruz, etc. and the maga-ites storming the capitol.
be proud of yourself for causing the death of other Americans. asshole.

what is a 'reasonable' fee?
i also just checked our last three stays in the past year (COx2 and SPI) - $60, $100 and $99 respectively. either that first one was very low, or the price hikes really went up after August 2020.
i will say we pay our maids slightly less than $100 every two weeks, and that's knowing who all has been in my house. i think around $100 seems reasonable...
but i'll definitely pay more attention now, though.

1 hour ago, GRHorn said:Cheney was not the only Republican to disagree with Trump yelling conspiracy. She was just perhaps the most vocal and started making herself a distraction from moving forward. I think Republican leadership is walking a fine line trying to move on from Trump and on to the next fights. Their focus will shift on to Biden policy and midterms.
Democratic politicians and the media are smart to try to pull focus back to the election hysteria. Cheney enabled that, thus it was deemed that she needed to go.in the past i have assumed you were a serious poster attempting to have reasonable discussion from a different ideological perspective.
if you honestly believe the above, you are stunningly naive and/or completely oblivious to what is happening in GA, WI, MI, AZ, PA, TX, etc.
if you don't really believe that and are just perpetuating the dangerous lie, you are indeed a troll and deserve every bit of neg rep you reap.
THAT^ IS THE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP. they are not in any universe 'walking a fine line'. they are/have mounted an all out assault on democracy.
whether you are blind or malicious, you are the problem.

Somehow Oregon and Colorado have had full mail in voting with no issues for over a decade. I think we can figure out how to make it easy to vote here.
i was literally going to say this exact thing.
also @former alkie, giving you benefit of the doubt, in your follow up defense you did not address the new provision of allowing judges to actually overturn an election without proof of fraud.
that by itself makes this bill trash. if you truly think that is 'common sense' and not 100% undemocratic...then you are the problem. 🤨

13 hours ago, Bevo said:It sucks that you guys can't stop spouting and promoting your political views. I enjoyed the homeless conversation in the daily texan but not enough to venture over to the cloak room. I would like to find out the latest, though.
see, this is weird to me. it's not like the posters in the CR don't also post everywhere else on this site. and 'CR posters' that wanted to discuss the homeless camping were already posting in that thread in DT. and plenty of politics were already in that thread.
and it's not like if you click on the Cloak Room heading every thread automatically opens and you are forced to read something that offends you. you can still read just that thread.
i suppose if you are sensitive some of the thread titles might offend you...but i'm pretty sure most of you guys have bookmarked some porn waaay more obnoxious than 'Matt Gatz is a douchebag'.
i just don't get the 'i've been participating in this discussion for 2 years but the url has changed and now i can't!'
weird.

SB 7 is all common sense stuff.
Those bitching and complaining about the voting rules, are just people looking for reasons to bitch and complain.
These are all rules, that should have been in place, all along.
FWIW, I’m as Independent, as Independent can get.....so, I have no bias in this game.
allowing a judge to overturn an election without proof of fraud is common sense?
drink more.

the number of old, white, retired people getting their teeth worked on, their nails done, and buying their viagra makes Progresso pretty safe i think lol 🙂
we hadn't been to SPI in 17 years or so...i had forgotten how different it was than Port A (where we've been going 2-4 times per year since).
the beach was SO much nicer! i don't know how but there was hardly any trash, even on the drive-on section. i guess the way the currents run in the gulf, not as much random debris gets deposited down there. very nice.
also...much more diverse, obviously many Mexicans vacationing but also lots of Indians, Asians, black families...
i'll admit, it was a nice change from the giant trucks with gadsden and confederate flags and blaring bro-country 🙄
it actually felt like a resort/vacation destination. really nice. and perfect weather all week! 🌞

the coolest thing about that boat video is the move the firefigher boat makes at :54, the revved up rooster tail it creates to extinguish the fire...neat! 😁
