    Who's gonna tell him?

    What do we do with the 20-30% of adult Americans who have decided they are smarter, better informed, and generally just better people than the rest of us in spite of all credible evidence to the contrary? Wall them off in Utah? Seems fair, it's pretty there. They're accepting of nutty ideas. Good skiiing.

    I was never nerdy enough to know anything about any of this stuff. But I've got nothing to show for it.

    Kiddos got their first dose this morning. We're flying directly to Green Bay after their second dose so they can each kick Aaron Rodgers in the nuts.

    I don't know much about UNT other than their top notch jazz program. That seems like the least good fit with aggie I can think of. They would probably convert it to a modern country department, where only greaseballs from New Jersey are allowed to sing about beer, trucks, and never moving to the city. For all I know UNT students love humping farm animals though, so perhaps it is a perfect fit.

    I've always just assumed I'm dead if I go to prison, because I snore.

    Fuck that aggie bitch.

    I think you may be giving that crowd (or any crowd) too much credit.

    My son once asked me to watch a live Travis Scott concert with him in Fortnite, and I did. So this hits close to home. Big crowds often lead to injuries and worse. People should generally avoid them, but concerts are fun and young gonna young. Whoever let a ten year old in there should probably be charged with a crime, though. Fucking hell.

    If you reread the post I was responding to, his last comment was about property taxes, although he did mention bonds earlier. I could have been clearer.

    Prop A would have required a certain number of police based on population of this city. Essentially putting it in line with other large cities. While it had nothing to do with funding, as the funding has already been restored, it would have put a dent in the budget to get enough cops hired and trained quickly. Essentially, an inelegant solution to what is a real problem (rising crime rates). Heavy money was spent on both sides and the entire thing was ugly and stupid politics on both sides. Fortunately the best outcome happened, even if the messaging that led to Prop A failing was as silly as the messaging supporting it.

    Yep, and then cry when there's no money left for basic services. Fuck those fucking fucks.

    Good point. I was mostly just responding to the notion that Austin has smarter voters than other places. We very much do not.

    I don't understand how we still have antisemites in America. Even the shitty public school in Redneckville I went to decades ago drove the right messages home on this topic. What kind of backwards ass piece of shit do you have to be to believe the bullshit these neo-nazi white power idiots believe? It's just willful ignorance, which I know is the only thing we don't have supply chain issues with these days, but got damn. I've heard schools haven't been teaching much history for the last two or three decades, which is a crying shame. I hope this guy suffers.

    Weeeelllllll, we won't vote for something that Matt Mackowiack pushes anyway.

    If we're being honest with ourselves, which I know is generally frowned upon, the hoarding of state resources by one system is the main cause of the weak public university system at large in Texas. It would take decades to catch up to what California has built, but we should probably at least try.

    We got an email from our pediatrician saying they expect it to be approved and they're taking appointments for Nov 6th, but would do it earlier if it gets approved earlier. I like your pediatrician. Ours said, "Fuck off and call back once it's been authorized."
  18. Samson's Wig
    Do tell. How did you pull that off when approval hasn't come yet?

    The number of people defaulting to the position of "these are bjust decent folks just trying to help" need to wake up. Dutchrudder outlined some good info above. CAM is anything but good people just looking to help. If we could rescue the kids and leave the adults to rot, I'd be all for that.

    I'm fairly sure of two things: 1. the folks behind the project will get exactly what they want to out of this, and; 2. there will never be a giant amphitheater in SW Austin.
  21. Samson's Wig
    The lawsuits, they're blinding!
  22. Samson's Wig
    What show is that?
  23. Samson's Wig
    WTF? I don't live in the Eanes district, and I know I shouldn't be surprised by how completely stupid people can be, but holy shit. This is the woman who almost made the school board, right? Good luck to all you rich assholes in Westlake.
  24. Samson's Wig
    None of them ever are, but many are proclaimed to be. That was my point.

    All this shit does is further whet the public's appetite to "tax the rich", so then we go and pass tax reform that purports to do that very thing. Next thing you know, the middle class is being bled dry and the rich are still riching along without paying their fair share. Rinse and repeat.
