The APD should shut the fuck up and do their job. The citizens here are young, entitled morons and vote accordingly, but voters in every city are one flavor of stupid or another. It's no excuse. The local government is a complete clown show, unfortunately. Abbot and co. have worked for years to figure out a way around home-rule cities, and Austin is their primary target. They've chipped away for quite a while now, and I fully expect they'll force control of Austin one way or another in the not-too-distant future. Austin has not done itself any favors with the complete shit show it has devolved into. If a takeover somehow magically results in funding for our schools staying where we fucking pay them, I might even begrudgingly support it. I'm tired of my kids not having available drinking water while suburban kids run around in palaces that we subsidize for them. AISD was a hairs breadth away from being taken over right before the pandemic and got a hall pass due to the shit show of the last few years. It's hard to imagine anything got better in that time (we all know it has gotten worse). So we're likely a year or two away from the state in charge of the schools, and after this latest turn of events I'm sure they're figuring out how to take over APD. There won't be much left for the city to do but continue to bend us over for water and electric rates while delivering terrible service and build more bike lanes for those two or three old guys to use every now and then.

It's not easy putting on the nonsense show Baptists insist upon, whether you're a minister or a member of the congregation. I don't miss it a single bit. I'm not sure it's a good thing that ministers have slowed down the wholesale slaughter of their middle-aged wives so they can now focus singly on diddling kids, but I suppose it's a "one step at a time" type situation. With any luck, there won't be any Baptists left in another generation or two and everyone will breathe easier - especially women and kids.

Tiny-dicked Dumbfuck with Guns Meta-Mega Thread
Samson's Wig replied to Beau Vine's topic in Daily Texan
I'm conflicted. I might have equal disdain for a pencil dick who carries a gun when out for a jog and a jackass who doesn't leash his dog. Hmmmm Any way to put both of them in prison? My folks live in a very rural area where asshole city folk drop their dogs off when they get tired of them, which, from time to time, leads to packs of aggressive wild dogs attacking people. I don't fault someone in that scenario, especially an older person, for carrying protection. The linked story above sounds like it was in an urban/suburban area though. -
MaybeACoordinator has passed away - Official Farewell Thread
Samson's Wig replied to Brisketexan's topic in Daily Texan
Damn. Seemed like a really good dude. I never met him in real life, but I enjoyed his writing over the years and enjoyed his posts here. Here's to going out with as much grace and dignity as possible. -
Want to charge your Tesla? That's a blasting!
Samson's Wig replied to DefinitelyNotHollywoodColt's topic in Daily Texan
Really? I know that Elon stans and Maga types have melded into a single hivemind of sorts, but I still see progressive-looking tech dorks driving them (although that could be simply a function of the fact I'm surrounded by them where I live. I just assumed most Maga types can't afford a Tesla. Thanks for ruining this for me. -
Flight disrupting assholes Thread of Shame.
Samson's Wig replied to crash_davis's topic in Daily Texan
I'm glad to see a Yankee break the continuous string of Texans acting like assholes in this thread. It seems like flights in and out of DFW are involved in at least half of these incidents, with Atlanta coming in a close second. -
Want to charge your Tesla? That's a blasting!
Samson's Wig replied to DefinitelyNotHollywoodColt's topic in Daily Texan
I appreciate the sentiment. I've often thought about a scenario where we dump all religious people in Utah and build a wall around it. In this case, however, we're talking about two Tesla drivers. I love a story that completely undermines stereotypes, and this is one of them. If the headline said this was two guys in F250s fighting over a diesel pump, no one would even read it. When tech bros/yuppies start slinging lead, the issue may not be as black and white as we thought. It turns out pussies come in all the colors of the rainbow. -
Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Samson's Wig replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
FIFY These people won't leave just because Elon wants to be sued for brand disparagement. Almost anyone left there now is either an incel/bigot/asswipe or has a full-blown addiction to the tech, an addiction it was purposefully designed to create. They can't help themselves, and, like all addicts, they make up all kinds of excuses that sound good to their own ears as to why they're still hitting that sweet, sweet Twitter sauce. Just put the fucking thing down. It's nothing more than a platform built to collect your data so others can sell you shit you don't need - just like every other social media platform. But just like cigarettes and booze, it's not that easy. Apropos of nothing, I'm currently seeking investors for my new luxury tech addiction rehab centers. Along with the tech wellness centers, we're developing a new app that will help people who can't quit other apps get back to living in the sunshine, swimming in the sea, and drinking the wild air. So long as they log their activity twice an hour on our app, the rest of their time will be free to pursue all that life has to offer, with suggestions for products based on their interests and activities delivered directly to them through the app so they don't have to waste any time elsewhere. If they follow the program diligently, they'll never need to utilize any other app again! -
Using a leaf blower on your lawn? That’s a blasting!
Samson's Wig replied to TexEx15's topic in Daily Texan
I don't think I've seen a single homeowner in our neighborhood use a leafblower themselves. It's all hired crews. Some of these crews are so fucking efficient about it - in and out in twenty minutes, having done a fantastic job. What is there to get upset about? But then there are the other crews, who seem to have the older, i.e., loudest, leafblowers and mowers take two hours or more to knock out a single house. Are they billing suckers by the hour or something? Every Tuesday, the house behind us has a crew come to handle their yard work. They are there for three hours minimum every week, with one running a leaf blower for the vast majority of that time. How many fucking leaves can you accumulate every week over and over from March through December? I haven't had the heart to ask them, as I suspect they're being ripped off. Electric mowers are great if you have a small yard. We're on a quarter-acre lot, and I have to put in a fresh battery after mowing the front before I can cut the back. Not a major inconvenience for me, but I would need a third battery if we had any more yard. -

Cash App founder stabbed to death in San Francisco

Cash App founder stabbed to death in San Francisco
Samson's Wig replied to ztejas's topic in Daily Texan
I have laughed mightly while reading through this thread after a couple of weeks away. After I was blasted by a handful of meatheads for noting that statistics are not facts (because they're not and you have to be fairly dense to think they are) tons of examples of the selective use of statistics to manipulate a narrative were presented in this very thread. But stats are facts, bro! Anyone who thinks San Francisco is more dangerous than your typical blue-collar town is delusional or hasn't spent significant time in a large city in the last few decades. I think this largely comes from folks who live in the suburbs and are simply frightened by the sight of homeless people. Or perhaps they're just people who can be presented with a statistic, any statistic, and immediately believe the narrative attached to it. See the Tucker Carlson thread for more discussion of these types. There's an easy joke there when a former fire commissioner is now in the cannabis industry, but I'm too unfunny to land on it. If he's the one bear-spraying people, well, fuck him and he got what he was asking for. Finally, and to repurpose an old lawyer joke, what do you call 500 dead tech "founders" at the bottom of the ocean? A good start. -
How many Tucker acolytes know he's from San Francisco? I'll bet that nugget would make at least a few heads explode, especially since he styles himself like a douchebag teenage frat bro from Mississippi.

Things are not going to end well for gun shop employee
Samson's Wig replied to GoPokes83's topic in Daily Texan
I propose a two-step process for eliminating incidents like this. I'm well aware that neither step will ever happen. 1. Actually pursue and punish people for theft, using the laws we already have on the books, and throw the book at them. In places like Austin, thieves know not a damn thing will happen to them, which has opened things up to brazen behavior. While I'm not a big fan of the deterrence theory for criminal justice, it's the best we've got (reform sure as fuck didn't work when we tried it, although it wouldn't hurt to give it another go with the large number of assholes we lock up for theft in this scenario). While this won't deter the ever-referenced yet largely mythical starving and desperate man who needs to feed his family (who, in reality, has many avenues available for assistance and doesn't really exist in significant numbers - because a desperate man can always find menial work in this country if he's willing and able, and if he can't work there are hot meals, beds, and a roof for any who are willing to ask for and utilize them - and if he's not willing to either find work or ask for help to take care of his family, he's just in the piece-of-shit category with the rest of the low life thieves). However, it just might slow down the idiot pieces of shit who steal because they can't be bothered to do anything productive with their lives because stealing is too easy and carries low risk. When the cost/benefit analysis tips toward getting a job, that's what most of them will do. Hell, it just has to tip toward begging to make thieving a less appealing option. Right now that scale leans much too heavily toward criminal behavior in many areas. The risk is low, so why not? I'll never forget when we first moved to New Mexico years ago and there was a statewide discussion about why auto theft was so rampant. They just couldn't figure it out. It turned out auto theft was only a misdemeanor under state law. They finally made it a stacked felony (4th first time, 3rd degree second, etc.) and amazingly auto theft rates plummeted. Fucking idiots. They all but made auto theft a legitimate means of making a living for a long time. 2. Get rid of guns. All of them. Platters of cheese are to be made available to all gun owners to enjoy with their whine. -
I suspect that a lot of those Gen Z numbers fall in the "B" category as well, and most of them will go on to procreate the old-fashioned way regardless.

Let he who has not murdered a young lady cast the first stone
Samson's Wig replied to Goredho's topic in Daily Texan
There was a homeless fuckstick pulling this same shit on Anderson Ln near Mopac a year or so back. Took out quite a few windshields and sunroofs. He injured a few people, including a teenage girl, but no one was killed that I know of. And of course, there was TxTow. Reading the story above, my mind immediately assumes deadbeat teens, but the two local stories above were adults. Regardless of age, that kind of reckless disregard for human life should result in as strict a penalty as premeditated murder, IMO. EDIT TO ADD: I don't believe the cops ever did anything about the homeless asshole. Some citizens confronted him and he threatened them with a knife (or maybe it was a machete). APD! APD! APD! -
San Marcos to hire armed civilians for elementary schools
Samson's Wig replied to Beau Vine's topic in Daily Texan
I would pull my kids out of that shit, and if there are no other options, move. People have lost their fucking minds. What could go wrong with introducing a loaded weapon into an environment full of mentally underdeveloped maniacs pumped full of stupid hormones? -
Just got a new roof last week, so I hope you like hail, West Austin.

His target audience is 12-year-olds for a reason. It should come as no shock in the wake of the culture we've been living in for a while now, that someone like Tate would realize that morons like Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, a politician who shall remain nameless on this forum, anti-vaxxers, and hell even the Kardashians built wealth by appealing to the absolute lowest common denominator among young males. The fact he blew up out of nowhere on TikTok certainly begs the question as to whether the Chinese promoted him purposefully (which would be brilliant on their part), but I suspect he just figured out the algorithm for attracting views from easily susceptible kids and adult morons and went to town. He's like the antichrist to Mr. Beast's Christ figure. (I know how ridiculous that sounds, but I'm leaving it because I think it works). TLDR - fuck that piece of shit and anyone like him who preys on kids to line their pockets. Hope he dies painfully and soon, preferably in a way that he finds completely humiliating.

How did we not convince the Romanians to put this dude down while they had him in custody? These fucks are a more significant threat to society than just about anything I can think of, as they're grooming the next generation of incel pieces of shit. The most laughable part is guys like Tate seem actually to believe that they know what being a man means when it's blatantly obvious he's never met one, particularly a father figure.

I'd be interested to see that list compared to a list of states based on poverty levels. I know Mississippi and New Mexico often duke it out for the poorest state, with Louisiana in the mix, and there's your top three on this list. I don't have a conclusion to draw from it, if there is indeed a correlation, but it jumped out at me.
