  1. Why does Gen X seem to be forgotten so often? I know we're a small generation, relatively speaking, but wtf?
  2. I always make a point to keep ten oily virgins at the ready, personally. I haven't got over burying my money in the backyard, though. One step at a time.
  3. Suburbs tend to be where scared white people live, with a higher concentration of fundagelicals than urban or even rural areas, and scared religious white people do some stupid tribal shit. Sometimes (like when paying property taxes) I think about moving to the suburbs, but then I remember who my kids will be surrounded by and we stay put.
  4. I grew up in a rural community and attended a rural school run by morons like this aggie. Boys' hair above the ears and above the collar, girls' hair past the collar, girls' skirts no more than one inch above the knee, crap like that. I still remember our pervy assistant principal standing at the front of the school with a ruler to check the skirts. Sending my kids to an inner-city school district has definitely been eye-opening. There's barely even a dress code, and the principals are too busy calling around looking for portable air conditioners and/or a cheap plumber to give a shit how long someone's hair is. It's equal parts refreshing and depressing.
  5. There's a lot of stupid in that article, which is essentially just parroting her team's spin on the issue, starting with the fact that revenge porn laws were not intended to and do not remotely apply in this situation. It is an excellent demonstration of why it is stupid to attack someone for this type of thing, however. Her response was complete and utter nonsense, but it's the type of nonsense voters will eat up. Flannigan was smart to leave Kelly's past alone or he would have been facing his own "how dare you" response. Gibson's reaction is still priceless, though. "How dare you try and hurt my family!" You're the one who fucked on camera for some extra cash and then decided you wanted to be a public leader, lady. You and your husband's choices did this to your family, not your opponent. I don't give a shit if someone sucked cock for money at one point or another and I don't think it should be a disqualifier for office on its own, but I'm not completely unmoved by the argument that it demonstrates a lack of basic decision-making and long term strategic thinking - both skills I would prefer my elected representatives to possess. I'm also not impressed with her victimhood response. If she had just owned it and told people to fuck off she would have my respect. But victimhood sells, baby.
  6. That's about as American a story as a story can get.
  7. It will be interesting to see if he sticks around after his kids are done. I kind of doubt it. He seems to be doing this for them, and more power to him!
  8. Think about the types of folks who often blame "activist judges" for everything wrong in America. Now imagine what people who think this way would like to do to the judiciary if they were in power. Now imagine here is actually Israel.
  9. My son (also ASD) and daughter also witnessed a fight in their first week of 6th grade in AISD. It was two girls and supposedly resulted in a broken nose and jaw for one of them. I was upset when I heard about it, but neither kid seemed remotely upset or bothered. I'm now concerned that we've raised a couple of violence-loving weirdos. I grew up in a rough community in West Texas. There were fights almost every day, and often I was involved. I would not let one fight derail you too much. Things are still so much better than they used to be on this front, and there's no school on earth that doesn't have fights between kids on occasion. As for the hostile syllabus, that really sucks and I'm curious to know more about what made it so awful. I'm glad the teacher tried to make things right.
  10. As a parent of two special needs kids (one with dyslexia and dysgraphia, the other with autism), it fucking infuriates me. It's especially infuriating in AISD when the main issue is funding, despite paying out the ass in property taxes for education. Fuck those fucking fucks who use kids to score political points. Texas should be ashamed of itself. We're fortunate to have the means to get our kids the help they need outside of the school system. I really feel for those parents who can't.
  11. Fuck ERCOT, and fuck all this noise. It seems more like social engineering than anything else at this point.
  12. The lack of history education from grade school up through universities will not end well. I hope that, even if they drop majors, universities will still require a decent amount of liberal arts classes so that the engineers we pump out at least have some semblance of humanity (if only second-hand knowledge) and understand who and what they're designing things for.
  13. FWIW, my post had nothing to do with hate. I really think he's coaching for his kids, and when that motivator is gone he will hang it up. It's not like he needs the money, success, or any other part of it - especially the headaches. An argument could be made that he likes the attention too much to retire, I guess. I'm a fan of Coach Prime, just as I was a fan of Neon Deion in the late 80's and nineties. I think some of the younger posters here may not realize just how much a generation of old white Texas fucks hate Sanders for keeping the Cowboys out of the Super Bowl and also, you know, because they're racist fucks and don't like it when black men to speak their mind. He would struggle at UT or a similar program for just this reason. There are too many asswipes like this still around and in positions of influence.
  14. I think Deion will end his coaching career the second his youngest son leaves college.
  15. 100% Rich kids have more access and less reason to avoid risk. Drugs are a major problem at most private schools. Those downplaying the prevalence of drugs in public schools are also being naive, though.
  16. It depends on the quality of the makeup, wigs, charisma, etc. You don't just wake up an amazing drag queen, it takes work. Subpar drag can be a serious threat, don't underestimate it.
  17. Sounds like the minions for every special interest group of all time, for whatever cause.
  18. My favorite was definitely, "We're not violent, we're environmental activists!" lol Surly no one is that obtuse.
  19. I've got a friend like that, even has three kids. Sometimes it's difficult not to give up on him. I used to think it was his wife, but learned a while ago that he's the one putting the shackles on himself. I don't know what you can do about that but keep trying to throw him a lifeline every once in a while. It's difficult to watch.
  20. I believe it comes standard on that sandwich.
  21. Surely something like that happens with some regularity for ole' Vince.
  22. Did Tangerines actually have anything to do with this? Who the hell would be there at 5:00? Never been to Tangerines, but I'll meet folks at that hotel bar on occasion. I thought this happened over by the Barnes and Noble and Cheesecake Factory.
  23. Crying wolf every day is a sure-fire way to keep the masses motivated to do their part. What a shit show.
