  1. Damn right. If you’re not free to recklessly kill others, you might as well live in Mao’s China.
  2. Do you have to be woke to think that secretly filming someone having sex and then publishing the video is fucked up?
  3. I'm sure he is. The state will ignore them being racist assholes even more than the city does.
  4. I agree turning left onto Toomey out of that development will be a pain the ass. That’s just totally unrelated to losing the third lane on Lamar for that stretch.
  5. I feel like we’re talking about different blocks here. If you want to go NB on Lamar from the development that ends up replacing Schlotzky’s, you’ll turn left onto Toomey and then turn left onto Lamar. Removing the third lane does make it more difficult to go SB on Lamar since you can’t just turn right directly onto Lamar but going NB from Schlotzky’s already required exiting onto Toomey or turning right onto Lamar and then u-turning.
  6. I’m saying you won’t be able to turn right onto Lamar out of that development (the scenario Blacklab posited). That you’ll have to turn onto Toomey and then turn onto Lamar.
  7. The new development at the Schlotzky's site will only be accessible from Toomey, which is controlled by a light.
  8. Traffic is created by chokepoints. This eliminates one. I’m sorry you apparently enjoy sitting in traffic and this will thus be a difficult change for you, but I‘d prefer to keep moving.
  9. What many are inconvenienced by reducing congestion on South Lamar?
  10. The city is selling this badly by focusing on the bike lanes but going from 2 lanes to 3 for a few hundred yards and then back down to 2 just creates a pointless choke point. Keeping it 2 lanes will improve traffic.
  11. They can only move OOC games but it does mean they could put something like Florida-Florida State or South Carolina-Clemson on ESPN+ next season (or maybe they'll just toss the FCS games on there).
  12. They also bought the right to move up to 14 OOC football games and 28 OOC men's basketball games to ESPN+
  13. The difference is 99.9% of individual posters on any sort of message board or social media site are judgment proof and nobody cares to go after them.
  14. Repealing 230 would absolutely eliminate the protections you presently have for letting it be posted in the first place, not matter how quickly you removed it.
  15. Would be a much better use of that land but they're going to have to figure something out with ingress and egress and the traffic on that stretch of 360, which might already be the biggest consistent traffic jam in Austin.
  16. Well that sucks. It's too bad movie theaters have to die because Time Warner conducted the worst product rollout since New Coke.
  17. It was very good but definitely not the best film Netflix has released. I’d put it behind Trial of the Chicago 7 and Marriage Story for sure. The performances were very good and it was beautifully shot and scored but it dragged at times and got a bit bogged down on some scenes/storylines. I think Fincher probably struggled to edit/adapt his dad’s screenplay objectively.
  18. Someone on Reddit did a nice summary of their journey: https://old.reddit.com/r/TheAmazingRace/comments/jsuvt2/s_amazing_paris_adventure/
  19. Yeah, it makes for bad TV for teams to be helping each other to this degree (the unscrambling the letters in Paris being the most egregious) so I would think they'll address it somehow moving forward.
  20. You could argue some of the more vague implications of liberty found under the Ninth and Fourteenth amendments, where some find the right to an abortion and contraception, or even the peaceful assembly clause of the First Amendment, would protect the right to gather in one's home but there's sure as shit nothing in the Fourth Amendment that does.
  21. Oral arguments are tomorrow but there won’t be a decision until spring.
  22. Not that Fox News talking points ever make much sense but this idea that San Francisco is some thunderdome hellscape is among the most detached from reality.
  23. This is where I am. I definitely hate Trump more than I like Biden but I'm not having to hold my nose to vote for Biden.
