i cannot believe we are actually in here discussing this like the fucking weather.
we are fucking black bagging people and OUTSOURCING THEIR IMPRISONMENT.
What the fuck.
My decision to try and go without news continues to fail
my wife and I actually went out on a fun date last night. First time in awhile that we carved time out for ourselves.
our uber driver last night on the way home was Venezuelan. his worry? His fucking wife and daughters being fucking deported.
this is our country. fucking Kristi noem adverts telling people to go home and never come back.
Fuck all yall
yeah i am not sure you ever thought that.
i went up to dallas with you and [redacted] and [redacted]. those folks can enter the conversation as they see fit.
i have positive thoughts of coors lights and Virginia slims in my mother's house.
i remember talking about Obama care and my saying "it is at least a policy start" and I do remember you arguing so hard against me. My whole point was that "fuck it's not perfect but it is a policy start. Congress can fight against health as a right but I think they will fail"
I remember disagreeing. Smokes. Meeting up with [redacted] and [redacted] the next morning. I remember my having 0 breakfast but [redacted]'s family hosting [redacted] and them talking about an embarrassment of breakfast. All I wanted was beer and corny dogs. We all went to the game together...
that was cool
think this is a good look?
It's unfortunate because I guess at one time I thought you were thoughtful.
i was so wrong.
stand up and applaud for yourself i guess.
i dunno what you even stand for
so I'm sitting in an office park outside an appointment for my son. this office park is a typical one off ben white surrounded by oaks big and small.
this time of year as yall know, is fall for live oaks so those little bastard leaves are everywhere.
i have been sitting here watching a lawn crew of probably 10 hard worker dudes using leaf blowers for...reasons I cannot detect.
near as I can tell they are blowing the leaves back and forth. there is no attempt being made to bag them, nor is there a noticeable difference in the leaf volume in this parking lot in the past 10 - 20 minutes except the appearance of industry and the noise pollution that accompanies it.
seems all leaf blowers are out do to is move this problem from here to there. most lawn crew just blow the leaves into the street...where they blow right back into your to someone else's lawn. but rarely is there an attempt to solve the fucking leaf problem by raking and bagging them.
this got me thinking about the ethos of leaf blowers as it pertains to our American life.
why do we spend so much of our time simply moving problems around instead of trying to solve them?
i know the easy answer is nimby but leaf blowers are right in your fucking yard blowing everything back into the pool. I don't get this mentality.
is it purely an American thing or is it more of a human thing?
@Bozo_Casanova is doing a truly terrible job of trying to say that policing doesn't mean arresting. Kidding bozo sorta.
this is part of the problem with "data driven solutions."
there is no real effective way to "measure" compassionate policing. seems the only way we know how to measure it is by arrests made, successful prosecutions, cracked skulls, etc.
I usually am though so that's a safe assumption.
also Rex is just being rex; I have no idea why anyone engages him any longer. it was obvious what was being communicated but he just had to be him
