  1. MAGA is a greater threat to the safety of more Americans than Hamas is.
  2. There’s a dive bar in my neighborhood that also serves food. They allow dogs on their patio and look the other way on dogs indoors as long as the pup is chill. It kind of adds to the ambiance of the place and I enjoy saying hello to the dogs that hang out there. It’s a dive so I’m clearly not worried about the overall hygiene of the place. Like anything, it’s context and situational awareness. Can a well behaved dog at a dive bar be cool? Sure.
  3. I think the totality of everything going on right now has a lot of people spiraling. In talking to some folks that I know that are in the mental health field, they’ve said demand for services is off the charts right now.
  4. German Shepherds and Border Collies are used pretty often as epilepsy dogs. But, yes, your point stands. It’s not hard to tell a highly trained service dog apart from a pet.
  5. I’ll add that the auto tariffs fuck the buyers on the lower end hardest. The big manufacturers often build their lower priced cars in Mexico because the margins are already thin on those models. If you could miraculously bring that manufacturing back to the US overnight, the prices of those vehicles would have to increase to cover the higher manufacturing costs in the US. I’m a pro-labor guy, but I also understand the role assembly in places like Mexico plays when it comes to lower margin products.
  6. Did they get pushed out the window?
  7. Demand for air travel between Canada and the US is tanking. https://www.oag.com/blog/canada-us-airline-capacity-aviation-market
  8. I’ve ridden in a couple of them as Ubers and they seemed perfectly fine to me as a passenger. If your boy is turning 16 soon-ish, I would buy before tariffs hit and drive used car prices up, but I’m sure you’ve already thought of that. I saw a Honda Prologue on the road this week and thought it looked like a pretty nice mid-size SUV. I wasn’t even aware of that model before seeing it. It’s been a number of years since owning one, but based on my experience with the brand in the past I would take a look at that one if I were in the market now.
  9. MAGA is openly hostile to our country.
  10. Lost its way? You just joined an hour ago. You’re brand new here. Or are you just a sock that doesn’t want to make your shitty takes under your real username?
  11. I’m hoping for some big downpours to wash this damn pollen away.
  12. Whatever it is, it’s more than what’s involved to be a Harris County Constable.
  13. Yeah, Tech is going to be a super late night tonight.
  14. They had to do a study to conclude that it would be cost prohibitive? I could have told them that for half whatever they paid to commission the study and given them an answer in a single ppt slide. Too bad they didn’t have that same foresight with Project Connect. How are you guys in Austin enjoying that increase in your property tax bills for the fifth year? Are y’all enjoying your subway through downtown?
  15. Yep, just checked and it’s $4 extra to my local HEB. So about the price of 11 HEB brand cage free eggs.
  16. Serious answer? Sometimes ceremonial rituals still mean something. My wife and I were together for more than a decade before we got married. It wasn’t something that was super important to us until it was. We decided we wanted that formality of a ceremony where we took vows in front of those that were closest to us. We chose a spot that was symbolically important* to us as a couple and had a ceremony there with around 40 people in attendance. Afterwards we had an amazing dinner and kick ass party with a gigantic bar tab that was worth every penny. Still one of my favorite days of my life. Tomorrow is our 6th wedding anniversary! *We chose to get married at San Francisco City Hall, which is where the first marriage licenses in support of marriage equality were issued in 2004 and, subsequently, when marriage equality was finally codified in 2015 mass wedding ceremonies were performed in celebration. When I said marriage wasn’t important to us until it was, marriage equality is one of the things that made it more important to us. Love is love and all that jazz.
  17. The Arizona game on Sunday night didn’t tip until almost 9p CT and tonight is likely the same. Two late work nights in a week makes my wife grumpy. She’s already planning a nap this afternoon and moved her personal trainer from 7a Friday to the afternoon. The eastern region is ridiculous.
  18. Well, for one, she’s dead.
  19. It does matter. True service dogs are allowed wherever their handler is allowed. I’m not talking emotional support dogs, but trained service dogs, and I’m totally okay with that.
  20. Uber Pet exists for drivers that don’t mind having a dog in their car. It’s great for when you want to take your dog to HEB.
  21. Fuck that. Even in a satirical sense, Abbott shouldn’t be compared to a national treasure.
