  1. I'm in line to get my Covid shot. They have the yellow dots every six feet and there's always some moron that lingers a few feet to the side or behind throwing off the line.
  2. Dude, there's no fucking compromise anymore. Republicans saw to that decades ago. There's only obtaining and maintaining power. Whoever has it wins.
  3. That in particular and at a meta level they push voter suppression and gerrymandering in order to effect minority rule. Their fundamental philosophy is ruling from the minority rather than persuading the electorate of their ideology.
  4. A good buddy of mine is a TXAM grad and very progressive. But he also always joked about being a 2%er, never cared about sports, school spirit, and doesn't have a clue what TexAgs is. I'm sure he'd be abhorred if he ever perused it. I visited him I'm CS once, right after the bonfire collapse in fact, and all his friends seemed to share his world view. So I suspect schools, even the SEC schools, have a fair amount of progressive types. But my friends are mostly white/latino liberals, so I can definitely see the concern a black parent would have for a kid who wouldn't have a natural set of friends to absorb into a school with lots of known racial hostility.
  5. "Sorry he got murdered by the police, but maybe if he would have been a better person the murderous police wouldn't have been so murderous." Yeah, that's what any human would say right after this verdict. Dumb ass.
  6. I noticed that too.
  7. I've also been using Bloomberg. A few google results say we have about 209 million 18 and olders. So let's say 16 and 17 years add 10 million for a total of 220 million eligible, and Bloomberg shows 212 million doses as of today, that puts us nearer to 50 than 40 percent. But you're right, I wish trackers would include eligible 16 and up and not just full population, which while important to know, isn't fully useful until under 16s start getting vaxxed.
  8. I took an elective on Christianity in the early 2000's. It was held in the big auditorium in Jester East. If it's the same course you're referring to, it was indeed fascinating and the instructor was very engaging. I realized that semester how little I knew of actual Christian history.
  9. Cool...dude. What kind of car do you drive? A Porche? Is your wife hot and young? Can I hang out with you?
  10. Plus rep. But you couldn't have used a second comma?
  11. Yep. Great series. Fucking dark and depressing.
  12. He did a two season series I think on CBS called Life. Really well done and his costar was a former Cowboys cheerleader who is smokin.
  13. Great actress. That's really sad. And Damien Lewis is one of the best actors around.
  14. Pray tell what Trump did to get the troops out of Afghanistan in four years in office.
  15. Good job Dr. Asshole. Just kidding. That's a tough gig.
  16. Fight the hood fight. I'm game.
  17. As long as the ID is free and easy for everyone to obtain, particularly the infirm, elderly, and those living in rural and isolated parts of the country. If it's not, then we're imposing, effectively, a poll tax.
  18. Yep. Glysophate 41. You can get it online from HD and Amazon.
  19. So dumb question. When these vaccine trackers say 20% are fully vaccinated and 32% are partially vaccinated, are those separate groups or are the fully vaccinated included in the latter. More simply, are these trackers saying we are 50% partially to fully vaccinated?
  20. I'm sorry for your friend and glad to see she appears to be doing better. There have been tens of millions of Moderna vaccines distributed in the U.S. with few apparent serious side effects. So I don't think it's unfair to question whether she has an underlying condition and her reaction was a rare aberration. The Facebook posts you captioned do not exactly medically illustrate all the variables of her situation.
  21. Wouldn't she be facing prosecution in state court by the Fulton County D.A.? The D.A. is a Democrat so I can't imagine these charges have a long life. Hopefully.
  22. Got Pfizer shot #1 today. Eight hours in and so far so good.
