  1. What the fuck is the stream of consciousness going on here over the last page and a half?
  2. You were putting your eggs in the MAGA basket? Interesting strategy.
  3. When I think about the leadership in Kerr County, the first thing my mind jumps to is DEI.
  4. I’m the definition of generic white guy, a moniker that my wife has bestowed upon me with affection, and I also don’t get it. It’s just a lack of humanity to me.
  5. I didn’t realize that she actively preached. I always got the impression that she was more involved in pastoral counseling than preaching. As a disaffected churchgoer, I’m curious what denomination she preaches in if you’re comfortable sharing that info.
  6. What the fuck? Is this dude having a mental break? That’s some sick shit.
  7. Don’t disagree with any of what you posted and my wife and I have had many conversations covering these exact points. Unfortunately, these aren’t my parents, it’s my in-laws and, while well intentioned and very kind and generous, are the most passive aggressive people I know. It’s an odd family dynamic that none of the kids feel comfortable having frank conversations with their parents. My wife is the baby, by a lot (she was a later in life ooops!), and is treated as such by the rest of the family despite her being the most assertive member of the family. As far as additional heirs go, none of the kids have children and won’t ever have kids (probably a lot to unpack there that out of three children none had children of their own). At some point if this issue doesn’t get worked out, the wife and I have discussed walking away from the house and letting her older sister just have it as she’s the only one of the three siblings that wants to hang on to it. It’s not worth it to us to create a tense family dynamic with her siblings. We’re already the black sheep of the family that don’t live in the PNW and don’t have a desire to do so.
  8. 3.5 years since posting and Dirty’s is still humming along and not a single shovel of dirt has turned. At this rate, Dirty’s might outlast Project Connect.
  9. El Paso is perfectly safe. Wife and I were there for a wedding not too long ago and stayed downtown. We walked around after dark and never felt unsafe.
  10. GTFOH with that shit. He had an agenda and that agenda wasn’t debating in earnest. This is some crazy sanewashing of what his “debates” were all about. Just listen to the clip of right before he was murdered where he interjects about gang violence when asked about mass shootings.
  11. Dude, you’re sanewashing. How are college tours spreading right wing propaganda “good to have?”
  12. The estate and the other side both have plenty of funds to make us whole. Our challenge is that the parents don’t look at it as a business transaction. They are very emotionally attached to the house and offend easy when it comes to having a conversation about why it doesn’t make sense for us to have an ownership stake in a lake house that requires a 5 hour flight and a two hour drive for us to use. For whatever reason, they don’t have the same attachment to their place in Hawaii or else that would be another conversation that would have to be had.
  13. I’ll be following to see how this plays out for you. Wife and I sit in your sister’s seat and would love to find a resolution where we don’t become co-owners of a lake house 2,000 miles away from us that we have no interest in having an ownership stake in. In general, we don’t want to be on the hook for maintenance and upkeep on a house that we visit maybe once per year, but her parents are adamant that the house be left to all of the children. We’ve tried to delicately approach the subject, but it has been a difficult conversation for us to have with her parents since they are very emotionally attached to the house.
  14. So sweet. Countdown to foster fail?
  15. Has Elon launched any penis rockets in the last 24 hours?
  16. The Gypsy Poet suggestion is a really great one. Fantastic pizza and it gives me an Austin vibe. Coincidentally, it’s located on Austin St. If the family goes to the HMNS (less than a block from the ZaZa), make sure they hit up the butterfly habitat. It’s an add-on to the general admission and well worth it.
  17. MF is the best sushi in town, IMO. Unless you’ve got some deep pockets and really, really love your children, it’s probably a better choice when you’re sans kids.
  18. Yeah, I’ve stayed there for work stuff and it’s a great hotel otherwise.
  19. Wherever it is that y’all are in that picture offers great parking for truckers.
  20. It’s always good advice to steer clear of a hotel that sells pool passes to the general public if you intend on using said facilities. It’s a greedy move by the hotel that enshittifies the experience for guests paying for a room.
  21. Reminds me of a guy I know professionally that sells some pretty high dollar imaging equipment in the healthcare space. The dude started spamming LinkedIn with the craziest right wing propaganda a few years back. I finally got fed up with seeing his political hot takes every single time that I opened the app that I removed him as a connection and made a note to myself to never buy another piece of equipment from him again. I don’t know how dumb people have to be to post that kind of shit on what is supposed to be a professional networking app.
  22. You should probably curate your friends if you count readers of gateway pundit amongst your social circle.
  23. He may have planted the rifle on the roof much earlier in the day? I don’t know, just spitballing. Wouldn’t explain how he was able to jump off the roof and leave campus escaping into the woods carrying a bolt action rifle as has been reported. It seems like even in the mass hysteria of people running away from the scene, someone would have noticed the guy with a rifle, but maybe he had just enough of a head start on the crowd.
