    What is SA young men’s leadership? Some charter school?

    It’s an SAISD charter school, on the east side just south of that giant railyard, on the old Wheatley middle school campus. There’s one for girls too. They started as middle schools but are expanding to the high school level. Had no idea they had a football team. It’s the kind of school that seems easy to turn into an athletic factory given the open enrollment policy, but that’s not their MO. They’ll be a doormat in everything athletics wise.

    It's off highway 90, that is remote. Just kidding, that area has exploded and it's a little concerning tohave a location so ch close.

    I always thought it was a shame that’s our ugliest part of town. Not the most dangerous, but definitely the ugliest imo. Lots of Air Force recruits from all of the country come to train at lackland and that’s the only part of SA they see.

    Short distance, especially when you have helicopters. and BAMC is so much more than burns. It is a Massive medical facility that can be locked down. 

    Well BAMC is on Fort Sam so I doubt any corona quarantinees ever make their way there, since Fort Sam wasn’t a mentioned base. Also don’t know that I’d call it massive, you can see the whole thing from 35 and it doesn’t look that big. I’ve never been in there though, maybe there’s underground levels.

    Arguably three of the best battle commanders in history were on the side of evil.  

    Lee, Rommel and that guy from Mongolian Grill.

    Alexander is well... Different.

    And no I don't want to argue it.

    This thread has not delivered like the juggs thread and I'm sorry for my part in it.

    Lol. Lee was overrated as fuck. Chose traditional over guerrilla warfare against a superior opponent, invaded the north out of stupidity, and sent 1500+ of his men to their deaths when he ordered a charge across an open field (with a fence in the middle) into the teeth of the Union defenses. Not to mention he had the easier path to victory the whole time. The union needed to invade and occupy the south to win. The confederacy just had to keep the union out to win. Lee still couldn’t accomplish that. He’s worshipped as a hero because he fought to preserve slavery, but he choked when the steaks were the highest. If he had won he could’ve had all the statues and schools named after him that he wanted. But he lost so take the L and get over it. /rant

  5. I’d move back to Harlingen in a heartbeat if I could find work there. Family, low cost of living, good food, beach an hour away. Those are quite literally the only 4 positives to that place and that’s more than enough for me.

    Anyone in the twenties using the phrase “zero regrets” is well, someone in their twenties. Get to your mid forties and realize not only will you die but it’s not that far off and that life is great but it’s finite and full of a heaping shit ton of mundane, that the to do list of life will stack up on you, the stress of managing whatever you have to manage will wear you down big time, your body falls apart you can’t do what you used to you can’t always rely on waking up feeling rested, and if you’re lucky you won’t have an unexpected loss but most of us do and face a mid life moment where you really wonder if you have the energy to get back up. Man the energy and stamina of my youth is gone. Like completely gone. That will pummel you if you rely on it now. Goals start to wane and frankly if you’re lucky you trade it for comfort in who you are and knowing what works for you and doesn’t. But God help you if you haven’t figured it out by then because that’s really the only silver lining of mid life juxtaposed to the beginning of the breakdown. And as miserable as I sound I actually have it made pretty damn well. Still it can be a total beat down. And by the time you’re fifty? If you don’t have a major regret that can keep you up at night then you haven’t lived really at all. And all of that messes with the head of a newcomer to mid life. Good for you you don’t drink or smoke, but that’s not really what he’s talking about, he’s said as much. Man you have a lot of miles to go before you know shit from shinola. So walk right off with that boomer disrespect. Besides I think po is like most of us old people here, he’s a disgruntled x’er I’m pretty sure.    

     


     I meant “zero regrets” about my chosen lifestyle. Of course there’s other things I wish I’d done different, but I try not to live in “what if” world. Kind of a pointless exercise.

    And don’t get your panties in a wad. My middle school aged cousin calls me boomer, I have a coworker 2 days older than me that I call boomer. If you were cool and young you’d know the joke I guess.

    I'm sorry, maybe a week from now I look back and think, "What a dumbass!" but I'm calling it now.  This is way worse than is being let on.  Waaay too much weird, unprecedented shit going on for this just to be SARS 2.0 or whatever.  I pray I'm wrong but I believe this is going to get really, really ugly.

    You can’t trust the Chinese govt, but if the illness itself was really a death sentence then we would have seen more deaths outside China by now. I’m guessing it’s just more widespread than they’ve let on. 
     

    That, or the Chinese know that it turns the infected into flesh-eating zombies months after exposure. It is rumored that this all started with biological weapons testing gone wrong. Who knows. 

  8. I’m only in my 20s, but I’ll try to one up the regret-stricken squares in this thread. Not only have I never been arrested, I’ve only gotten pulled over by a cop once in my whole life. He let me off without a warning or a ticket. I’ve never even tried an illicit drug, I hardly drink and have never truly gotten drunk before. Zero regrets about any of it. I’ve been called lame and boring for being that way for years, but it never made me change how I wanted to live my life. Growing up I saw all those vices destroy people, I saw relatives & friends get arrested and all the stress it put on their loved ones, and I just knew none of that was for me.
