Meh, there is pretty heavy demand for RV spots out in West Austin. How do I know? Rented out my house on Air Bnb full time and did the airstream bit for almost 15 months and it was challenging finding a spot that was decent. Boosted my retirement by 100k while traveling a shitload and it was a cool experience. But going into Covid during the summer sucked ass, so we we bailed. We were in a nice park, and could ride our bikes to several restaurants, quick drive to the yacht club and had a nice social scene. Retirees moving near grandkids, recent divorcee, two cops, snow birds and nice working class folks predominated. Also a few flag flying Trumptards and sketchy methy dock workers, but it is Texas.It's the fastest growing county in Texas. I have a co-worker who has lived there for years and commutes into Houston daily. While he doesn't like the increased number of people because he...doesn't like people...he was taken with my suggestion of opening an RV park in the area as an investment. "Because it's the last refuge for people to find affordable housing and raise their families." I guess the idea that there isn't "affordable" housing somewhat supports your friends post. But on the other hand, the apparent demand for RV slots and trailer parks for folks to raise their families also doesn't scream that the trash is going away any time soon...
That said Conroe is surely a more redneck scene. But I wouldn't judge anyone.-

If he's in Spanish Oaks you'll never get through that crack squad of mercenaries at the gate.I’ll walk uphill both ways and knock on every goddamned door in Bee Cave till I find you! -
BLMSelling Confederate flags? NAACP scholarships or something. -
Wrong. However the homemade version of this actual beef, ripe tomatoes and better cheese with taco bell style sauce is freaking legit. Gringo af, but I enjoy as much as legit mesquite smoked fajitas, lingua, pastor etc.Taco Bell is garbage yes. But a crispy taco supreme from there is about as good as any crispy taco your abuelita can make.
I should start a white boy taco comfort food truck -
agreed.Congress critters should not be allowed to trade stocks in any capacity. And if they do it should be 20 years in prison. I’d love to hear the argument against that.-

It's being so bad you suck your own dick.wait, what's auto-fellatio? -
Yep, fuckers.Corrigan, TX. 59 drops from 75 to 55 to 45 to 35 in a matter of a mile and a half going north from Houston to Tyler. Got busted for hitting 58 in a 55. Actually laughed at the cop when he starting writing the ticket.
Will add Point Comfort on SH 35. It's been a speed trap since I was a kid heading to Poc. I got a ticket for not coming to a complete stop one time. I explained to the cop I did. "we consider a complete stop to take two full seconds after you stop. you stopped, but didn't pause." fucker

During the rectification of the Vuldronaii, Gozer came as a large and moving Torb. Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex Supplicants, they chose the form of a giant Sloar.Gozar the Gozarian?

"Sexing Infected Pangolins" dibs as hard-core punk post pandemic band name

What the fuck are you trying to articulate? -Me to most of your political posts. Not trying to be a dick, but wut?What, I chose not to go to one bar, and went to another that didn't care? Seeing how I've already had it, and didn't use one resource then it seems you're wrong. Seeing how there is a pandemic of the vaccinated seeing from all your posts here that said you're vaccinated and got it. Your fear porn got us this. You're going to have to explain to me that this is good, because y'all are cult like.

Well said.Weighing public sentiment is actually a pretty important element of setting sound policy, particularly when it comes to public safety.
E.g., if we wanted to make driving SUPER safe, we'd set the speed limit everywhere for 20 mph. Injuries and deaths would go way down if people would drive 20. What a win!
Of course, balance that with 1) the economic cost of all transport and commuting being super-slow, and 2) the fact that a shitload of people just won't follow it.
Instead, we need to find a speed limit that will do a reasonable job of keeping people from very dangerous speeds, still allow for economic travel, and people will be comfortable following it. Don't listen to the fringes -- I'm sure we can find people screaming that we should all drive 20, or walk, or what have you, as well as people who think ANY speed limits are fascist tyranny.
For the other 95% of us, a highway speed limit of, say, 65-70 provides a reasonable guide to our speed that we'll follow. Maybe we go a few miles over, but we keep it below 90, mostly.
Our ultimate approach to COVID -- and we're getting there QUICKLY these days -- needs to take these into account. We COULD tell everyone to stay home, get 4 shots, and wear double N95 masks everywhere they go. But while that may reduce transmission and harm, it would be crippling economically, and people (even otherwise reasonable people) would bristle against it.
I think that you'll get buy-in if the long-term plan is:
1) stay home if you're sick, and get tested with an easy at-home test
2) get an annual COVID vax/booster around the same time you get your flu shot -- that is, in the fall, get your annual "viral respiratory illness shots."
3) in periods of significant localized outbreaks resulting in serious illnesses/hospital pressure, contemplate short-term closures (seriously, schools have closed for a week before when flu is spreading badly in that school -- that's happened for decades), etc.
4) understand that some countries will have vaccination requirements for entry. Don't get a COVID shot, you don't get to go. That's not new, either -- nations have required immunizations and other health measures for entry for centuries. Don't like it? Stay in the USA.
With those four elements, we have a picture of what the world should look like going forward.

It's long been a tradition for Texans to elect corrupt shit heals. It's kind of our thing.I don’t see why even conservative Texans are drawn to such a mealy mouth suck up who is the opposite of an Alpha man. Watching him grovel before Trump and Tucker Carlson should be disqualifying. -
Lifeless Walnut colored eyes, hint at his wooden deamonor, deep rooted cynicism, and the evil selfishness that never leaves him.He also has dead eyes. Black. Like a dolls eyes.-

Ha ha, I trolled my current girlfriend by telling her my ex wife and I saved and ate her complete placenta with various recipes including Placenta Helper. (To make my claim more mainstream.)
She freaked the fuck out and was about to break up with me.-

"Mask debate"We have a vaccine and it does a damn good job. You don't have to get it despite all of the evidence in NEJM and anecdotes from your local health system that it's saving lives. But don't act like the mask debate is legitimate while we have something proven on the market. I trust the vaccine.
This fucking guy.-

Really, you don't see the endgame with scant polling locations in Harris County or fucked future laws like no free assistance or rides to the polls if your county has public transportation in place. They won't stop until you can only vote during the week, three polling locations per county and they will game that too. Stack all three on one block in the worst part of Houston, and in affluent nursing homes the sticks.I mean, this hurts their voters more than Dems, so whatever.
Go more cynical and dark here, and it will be more accurate than thinking this helps dems.-

Yeah except it's a whole caravan of them with jacked trucks and flags, Lakeway realtors with wrapped Suvs. Packing heat, maybe some pipe bombs. And that's just a whole bunch of UT fans, not the sec sec crowd looking to bring back Jim Crow for non football players.In case y’all haven’t noticed it’s way past time to give a single fuck what trump supporters want or desire.
Just imagine you’re the newly appointed AD at Texas named Stevie P and the secretary buzzes you to say a UT fan is here and wants to talk. You reply how much money does he have and she says not much. You reply I don’t give no fucks and tell her to send him on his way.
That’s how you should treat trump supporters from now on. -
There will be no lines in rural areas, just urban centers that skew heavy blue.Texas GOP has incredibly short memories. It wasn't until COVID happened that Democrats really voted absentee in large numbers. That was the GOP cleanup hitter. When COVID is over, I'm sure it would go right back to it, except they've done whatever they can to make it more difficult for their team to get votes. Makes no fucking sense to me.-

You act like Trump is a slick hustler. He bumbled and stumbled his way into everything. It was amazing to watch people be captivated by incompetence of that magnitude, but it's not carefully crafted. What you are suggesting would be a reasonable plan of action for success by reasonable people. This dumpsterfireclowncar is all Id responses to basic stimulus with no planning or empathy. Had Trump shown any self control, modesty or capacity for planning, he'd be lifetime king.If Trump were to run again, I think he'd have done two things:
1. Show up in D.C. today. His base thinks that Jan. 6, 2021, was a victory of some kind, pyrrhic or not, but it was some kind of victory in their eyes. A few thousand people fought for him, literally and figuratively in D.C., and they sacrificed freedom, a couple of lives in some cases, their jobs, etc.
2. He would have spent the last year making sure his January 6 supporters had legal defenses that were paid for by Trump, whether fully or partially. Maybe he goes to rallies and says 'I'm going to pay half their legal bills, and if you support me and them, you're going to show us by paying the other half!" but he would have personally been involved, and showing the rest of MAGA that he truly loves them.
He raked in hundreds of millions in donations and didn't do a fucking thing to help his supporters that were jailed/lost jobs/etc.
That's not a sign of somebody who is running again.
You ever chucked rocks at an amardillo at 3 am after a few Shiners? You don't hit them, you just steer them around however you want as they react to the rock hitting the ground they go the opposite way. That is what is steering Trump, whatever noises he hears and reacts to with his blind- ass world view.-
