  1. Wouldn't have pegged you for Surly 1%. Also, I'm sorry you are required to live in Amarillo.
  2. I didn't cut the cord, but that is also the only Beaker I know. My cable news exposure level is the same as yours though so maybe I'm not an expert either.
  3. Hmm, maybe I should be looking at a career change.
  4. hey thanks everyone for throwing in your thoughts on that. My whole family seems to be over it. My dad got it, and even though he got sick enough for a few days that he didn't care if he lived or died, as long as it was finished, the fact that he eventually recovered seems to have sounded the all clear for my family to basically decide that the all clear whistle has sounded. Between that and the election where, once again my family is all in on Republicanism, and even my liberal sister is thinking about Trump now because her husband works in oil, and yeah, it's almost like when I was in the closet and was not allowed to get shit out and act like myself around my loved ones. It's been a shitty year, but it's gotten worse with my one familial ally seemingly on the brink of going red, and no one in my family taking this seriously anymore. Also, I can not fucking wait to go hang out at an actual bar again. I don't have kids so my desires are more selfish than y'alls, gotta admit, but I miss eating out, traveling, bars and live music. Turns out those are my 4 favorite things to do in life. Not sure I knew that before this shitshow started.
  5. if this is him NOT falling for it, I wonder what falling for it would look like. Penis clearly visible?
  6. Funny thing is, if the Church and conservative politicians would've gotten on this train 15 years ago when we asked for it, chances are that's where we'd be today in the US, and the gays would for the most part be happy with it. Sure, you'd periodically hear from me and others that wow it sure would be nice if the state saw us a married instead of this separate but equal thing, but it was always about the rights more than it was the title. This is yet another instance where conservatives just can't learn their lesson. Sometimes it makes more sense to give a little in the short term to keep the pressure from overwhelming you. When you stand too staunchly in the way of progress, don't be surprised when you get steamrolled, and now you are forced to move towards the position you were absolutely against yesterday just in an effort to maintain any kind of relevance.
  7. Fuck you. Tennessee was in the process of giving us a back door into the national championship game. I was drunker than I've ever been at a game. And you are asking me to remember all of that. Negged with extreme prejudice.
  8. So my company has for the last several months been giving us weekly updates on our companies various offices, their status as to who can go into the office and who can't, and that has included a date of January 4, which is the earliest that anyone could be required to come back into the office. They just sent us an update, and our new date is July 15. I expect that tech companies in the PNW like Amazon and Microsoft have done something similar. That's more than a year of rent of office space that is basically not going to be used. Looks like the tech companies are starting to figure out that even if a vaccines was approved tomorrow, it's going to be a good long while before we start to get back to normal. I keep thinking it didn't have to be this way, and I have to say I'm pretty much frustrated and angry every time I allow myself to dwell on it. Can't wait for this story line to get completed.
  9. Problem for him is it's too fucking late. Tax cuts and already passed stimulus out front should've told you.
  10. I'm pretty sure one could make a pretty good living setting up grave pissing tours and selling them to Surly posters. Actually, forget I said anything, I just remembered this interesting business idea I had and I need to go set up an LLC.
  11. I don't think it was the tone, I think it was the lack of penis on Stahl.
  12. I took it to be more of a muzzle than a mask. He was wearing that muzzle because he believes that's the only way there will be no more bullshit coming out of his mouth. Which if I'm being honest is probably the #1 reason that Trump himself is so against masks. He sees it as a muzzle as well. And he likes the bullshit.
  13. Just seeing this. What is an oligarh?
  14. And if it did, it wasn't illegal! And if it wasn't, we didn't know it! And if we knew it, the Supreme Court will protect us!
  15. I had never heard this particular one talk and it turns out she's just as vapid as her sister. Also, don't play 11 year old club music that didn't age well to a group of gays. They'll revolt, unless they are a bunch of morons. Judging by the sound of the crowd, I guess she found herself a bunch of morons.
  16. yeah their buy in is what proves they are morons, man.
  17. WTF, why is he upset about not getting credit for doing shit that he's supposed to be doing??? This guy is a moron, and people that support him are morons.
  18. I see them sitting in a room not social distancing and not wearing masks in henry's vid. I think they are finally embracing science and can be trusted again! Nah. I'm going to keep appreciating what they are doing on this campaign and keeping my dollars away from them.
  19. And this is why I decided not to do mail in. I'm not going to put myself in a situation where my vote doesn't count. Not this year, not when I want my vote against those motherfucking Republicans counted.
  20. It's crazy to me that rather than examining their life choices and simply switching to a strategy of telling the truth, they instead want to use government force to require private property owners to allow others to lie on their property. They might have had some sort of argument if they would've allowed the internet to continue to be considered a public utility, but they got rid of that. So, their only semi-coherent argument for bringing in government force is that it's the public square and free speech trumps all has already been 86'ed.
