  1. The two of you just destroyed my blissful ignorance. Thanks a heap.
  2. Thanks for the clarification and the compliment.
  3. I don't have a clue whether or not opening up the road to traffic in the evenings is a good idea, although I agree with others who have said it worked just fine in the past. Those fucking bicycle lanes, though. Holy shit, Austin. I wish I had a better understanding of the money trail involved in this city building out hundreds of miles of useless and unused bike lanes. The only thing that makes sense there is graft of some sort. At least on 6th it might provide a place for dumabass tourists to ride those goofy scooters, but they'll likely still just run people off the sidewalk as usual.

  5. That's a devil's triad if there ever was one, but Waco is the armpit of Texas and the worst of the three with a bullet. I could see him end up at Baylor, though. His "mental health issues" was a fist fight with Marcel Reed. I feel bad for the kid, as it seems clear he couldn't handle the spotlight and scrutiny. More likely to wash out than anything else, but I hope he lands on his feet somewhere.
  6. Despite having been read on the Internet, this is correct. One of the first things you should do if there is a fire nearby is to turn off your HVAC system. We live in pretty much the absolute worst spot in Austin for this type of fire to happen and have folks out to the neighborhood annually for fire prep and training. This is one of the number one things they bring up every time. The other major one is to not have wooden fencing touching your house. Fires spread on them like a little highway through the neighborhood. If you have a wood fence near the structure, go knock it down before you get out of dodge.
  7. No one here has argued for massive human rights violations, an Orwellian surveillance state, open-gate intellectual property theft policies, or cozying up with nations who present a genuine threat to the civilized world. Perhaps you should jump on those hot takes as well. The CCP would undoubtedly appreciate it.
  8. If you're a crook with bad teeth, that must have come in handy. I don't use Facebook or TikTok, so I have no idea which is the "better" platform. Enough mind-numbing things are vying for my attention that social media had to go a few years back. I did enjoy Instagram for following local artists and motorcycle content, but it became nearly impossible to find the things I wanted to see amidst the nonsense at one point, so I gave it up as well.
  9. I know this may come as a shock to someone who grew up under the thumb of of tech bros, but you can live a solid and productive life without engaging with any of these companies. As for businesses relying on Tiktok, I mean, c'mon man. I think the energy drink producers and fly-by-night fast fashion shithouses will find another way to capture the hearts and minds of impressionable youth.
  10. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about, unless you're confusing me with another poster. I was teasing a little before, but now I'm genuinely concerned about the brain rot you're suffering from due to social media use. Maybe less TikTok will be good for you.
  11. I can't believe someone is wringing his hands over the removal of one social media platform just because it's better designed to suck you in and waste your life away than the American versions of the same thing. They're all shit, and anyone bemoaning the loss of any social media platform should take a step back and think about whether or not they're a fully functioning human or just a mind-controlled zombie. To have the awareness that it's bad for you yet still complain that it's being taken away because it does a better job of capturing your attention than the alternatives is some next-level dumbassery.
  12. "the p.g.a. mark—a distinction highly valued and taken seriously within the industry.” That line made me laugh.
  13. I was teasing you over the inflection/infliction typo.
