Not everyone needs to cater to your preferences.
EXACTLY. Like, for example, the goddamned HEB shouldn't cater to people's inexplicable desire to bring Mr. Fluffywumps with them EVERYWHERE THEY GO. You love your dog. Great, that's awesome for you, and your dog. But maybe don't impose on all of society all the time wherever you go by insisting that Fluffwumps be there too. That's all that this is about. It isn't anti-dog. It's about appropriate "time and place."
Re kids, for example, society is and has been just fine with kids at a grocery store. On the other hand, we are NOT fine with having erratic and potentially crying toddlers at a michelin-star fine-dining restaurant. If you had to sit next to a crying toddler at Barley Swine, most of us would agree that such behavior was bullshit and the parents were shitty and hell, we even like nice restaurants that say "please no young children."
Young children are not appropriate to take some places.
Dogs are not appropriate to take some places.

I call bullshit, but maybe you should stop shopping at the HEB where the bored housewives shop. Be brave. Go to some of the lower income areas of town. I promise you it's probably entitled, higher income white folks.
That is actually not wrong at all. I shop primarily at three HEBs. Two of them in NW Austin, one of which is pretty white and higher income. That is absolutely where I see the most dogs. The other one, which is bigger with a more mixed bag, very few dogs. The third HEB -- the "United Nations" HEB at Lamar and Rundberg (GREAT mexican groceries available)....I've never seen a dog there. Not once.
So, yeah, the "I have to bring Mr. Snugglybutt Fluffywumps with me wherever I go" is absolutely an issue with entitled white folks, almost exclusively. And again, my observation is that it skyrocketed post-pandemic. Maybe after people got used to spending all day at home with their pets, so now they want their pet with them wherever they go?

Meh. This is just the system working exactly as designed, especially the part where the jackboots have zero accountability or way to stop them. Sound familiar? This shit is about to get 10X WORSE. It will NOT be getting any better.

Any store other than pet stores. And even then unless you are taking them to get groomed it’s stupid to take your dog there. Take your dog to dog park if you want them socialized.
This. We used to take our dog on walks around the hood, time to run off-leash at a dog park, all that stuff. Room to roam in our yard as well. And of course, lots of hunting trips. She got out plenty. She didn't need to go to HEB when I had to go grab milk and eggs.

All cool stuff. Grocery stores are made for humans to shop in, not dogs. I don't dislike dogs, I love dogs. They just don't belong there. And yes, human children do belong in grocery stores, because grocery stores are for humans. Shitty parents should get called out when their shitty kids do shitty things in human places, that will always be true. Also, young children cannot be left at home alone. Like, it's literally against the law in most circumstances. Dogs, however, can and should be left alone lots of times.
Grocery stores are for people, not for dogs, or cats, or llamas, or any other animal you may love that you just HAVE to bring with you as you pick up lemons and chicken and saltines and whatnot. I dig dogs and cats and llamas. But they still don't belong at HEB. Unless they're in a package on the meat aisle, of course.

Just empty and hyperbolic rhetoric brisket.
Wait…what I posted, which is how things actually work…is “hyperbolic rhetoric.” But a 40 min puff piece video of Elon’s crew spewing platitudes that have little relation to what they’ve actually done is…our path to salvation?
Perfection.-

Straight up we are trying to reduce the monthly nut over here. No one is talking about burning down the house, but everyone needs to lean up. And maybe we are ultimately more risk on. I got reasonable backstops, but not at the same level as the US Gov.
Cool. You do that by leaning up. You don’t do it with flamethrowers. I’ve cut a dozen budgets in my life (aside from my own household). Sometimes some hard cuts that hurt to make, and left people/needs wanting. Institutions survived and continued due to our work - which is not unique, we ran a drill that has been run countless times.
Never once did we take a flamethrower to things. Which kept us from slashing things that had low cost, high reward (or high consequence if you cut them).
Nothing like that is happened with DOGE. Nothing.
Instead, it’s almost all chaotic destruction at the hands of literal sociopaths. And yes, thousands of people are now dead, more dying every day. To save .000000001% of our spending. It’s insane. Oh, and when you realize that the suffering is seen as a PLUS by these people…well, that’s the cherry on top.-

You are totally unhinged.
I cited a source. I didn’t make it up. It’s not disputed by anyone sane (that there is a body count).
Lots of people and sources have quantified the specific impact of various programs: malaria prevention, infant nutrition, etc etc. There’s no argument that people - and not just a handful - have died.-

There will always be a reason to whine about dialing down any reduction in government spending. Always. And lots of sob stories. Some reasonable and some not so much so. Suck it up guys. We are on an untenable financial path as a country. We either take the lumps now or take them later. I think the latter involves far greater risk.
All, we need to cut Ana’s household budget. He’s spending himself into the poorhouse. Now, we COULD look at specific spending, and make thoughtful cuts, or we could just burn his house down. That place is a cash-sink, what with the maintenance, utilities, and whatnot. Clearly, burning down his house is the way to go. And if you say “Brisket, at least let him get his family out first,” I’ll tell you that pussy libtard talk like that is what’s put Ana in this mess in the first place. Light it up, and save Ana!-

You are totally divorced from reality. And just putting it out there for all to assess in very simple and straightforward terms. Your ledge is fn weird man.
Your ability to dissemble and avoid clear-as-day truths is limitless…yet still unimpressive. It’s just tired and boring.
DOGE has indisputably racked up a significant human body count. Real things, real actions with real, non-theoretical effects - I cited a source, and while there’s surely room to argue about the accuracy of the number, there’s no debate that there IS a number, and it’s significant. Real people who are now real dead. Not platitudes in a spoon-fed video of meaningless words. What do you think of what DOGE has actually done? - account for the stacks of dead humans in your answer.
That I have asked the question at least 4 times, and you repeatedly fail to answer…well, when a jury sees that, they know what your answer is. It’s not a new technique. You think you’re fooling someone, which is pretty embarrassing for you.-

As someone with maybe just a little insight into data models as they relate to different health care IT infrastructures, this is a huge area for optimization. It's frankly amazing the just total politically oriented push back on the shit that we all know is waste and potential fraud and abuse.
Cool. He really makes the trains run on time.
What about…literally all the other shit he’s actually done (noting that pretty much all he’s done on the data front is break shit before having replacements to implement)?
And as always…don’t forget the body count. DOGE has ended more human lives faster than every neocon air strike of the past 30+ years. Don’t forget those.-

Some fuckin 5d chess by trump. Tells auto makers they better not increase prices as a result of tariffs, the White House will look upon them very unfavorably. So I guess automakers just gonna have to take it directly up the ass sideways and eat the tariffs.
So, the order is “go bankrupt, leaving Tesla as the only car company.” In case you didn’t see what he is actually demanding.-

Oh, and I don’t have to vote for death, and blood. This admin has already delivered plenty and promises to deliver more.
Current estimated deaths due just to the indiscriminate destruction of USAID:
Even if you want to quibble with the numbers, it is undeniable that thousands of people who would otherwise be alive are now dead because of DOGE’s actions, which didn’t discriminate between programs, or actually LOOK for “waste, fraud, and abuse” when taking a flame thrower to them.
So, we’re getting plenty of death. But there’s a difference between you and me. I call for suffering as hyperbole, making the point that maybe if people felt the pain they are rooting for, they would no longer support it.
You, on the other hand, actually support it. Your supporting DOGE and what it has actually done speak loudly. As loudly as 150k dead and counting.
You have the nerve to lecture me for suggesting a hypothetical death as you cheer 150k actual deaths. Perfection.-

You are just projecting brisket. I posted a video. You can easily respond to the specifics of the content of that video. Or you can strawman. Gee I wonder which path you will take.
The brisket of 2010 would have been all in the talking points in that video.
The brisket of 2025 just hopes that others stand in puddles of blood because he has gone full blown lunatic.
I didn’t ask what you think of the video.
I asked what you think of what he’s ACTUALLY DOING. Because…and I know this comes as no shock to you, someone who knows that officials regularly lie…what he SAYS, and principles he cites…do not match what he’s actually DOING.
Words are just words. They are less than meaningless. Actions. Across the board. What do you think of THOSE?-

I support reducing redundancy in government bureaucracy and the updating and enhanced interoperability of government IT healthcare and beneficiary systems. It was not too long removed that the pre-ledge poster known as brisketexan would have supported the same.
Completely nonresponsive, as usual.
What about what he’s actually DOING, most of which is NOT what you listed.
What you just said is like responding to a question of “do you think Tom Herman was a good coach” with “I support a regular supply of hydration for athletes, I thought you would too.”
The dumbest thing is that you think your non-response is clever. You’re literally the only person who does.-

You "believe" but are unwilling to actually put some chalk to it that there will not be flu vaccines this season.
I just posted a video of an interview.
And what do you think of what he’s actually doing?-

Even if they were right. Gosh, nothing could be better for humanity than to be told, en masse, "you're completely unnecessary." Nothing makes people HAPPIER than being....not needed. Right?
Jesus fuck. These people are fucking sociopaths, incapable of even grasping what it is to be human, so of COURSE they have no problem bulldozing and destroying the very essence of what it is to be human. Take all that away, and leave us to....what? Sit in basements, wallowing in a completely purposeless existence? And don't give me any bullshit about "no, now you're free to engage in creative pursuits!" -- pursuits of WHAT? Art? AI will do all that, too. Truth? Why, to what end? After all, we've already "solved" everything. And....with what fucking resources? Are you going to pay us and deliver us food for us providing the service of.....merely existing? A universal basic income that is indeed "universal," because NOBODY is doing ANYTHING that earns money?
Destroy human purpose and dignity. And call it a success. MAdness.

Yeah.....it's damning enough -- I'm talking "kill shot, and he should likely be in prison" damning -- that I need to see a lot more info to support the assertion that that is actually his email address.

Wait wait whoa whoa.....WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK? Is that accurate? Our secdef....has a fucking Russian email account?
If true -- again, imagine this was ANY other administration. That would be "game over." There are zero, none, not a one, reason for him to have EVER had a Russian email address.
If it is even remotely true, it is beyond clear that our entire executive branch is compromised and working as agents of a foreign power. Every person in that branch is an existential threat to the United States.

DOGE: America Fucking Around
in Cloak Room
Posted
Well, you DO notice Ana furiously masturbating about the millions DOGE is supposedly saving us all by taking a chainsaw to programs on which human lives actually depend.....but you also notice that he has not a single problem with the trillions of dollars ADDED to our deficit by virtue of the reduced revenues caused by Trump's tax cuts.
See, we are in deficit danger! "DANGER! WE MUST DO SOMETHING! Let's cut this, and that, and that thing over there I don't even know what it is or what it does or whether it's important but let's cut it!"
Cool. So, I guess we should also see if we could find some more revenues, too, to add to the plus side of the ledger to help close that gap, right, since "unsustainable deficit" is the greatest existential threat the Republic has ever seen?
"Oh...no. We need to slash revenues too."
Anyone who has passed third grade math:
Deficit hawks are liars. They always are.
If my household budget was truly in the type of dire straits that Ana says our country is in, I'd both 1) slash spending (sorry, no more purses, no eating out, turn the A/C temp up, no vacation this year) AND 2) tell my wife she needs to get a full-time job to give us more revenue.
If I followed the DOGE plan, I would 1) shut off all my utilities, sell my cars so I couldn't get to work anymore, decide that only 3 out of 4 of my household get to eat each day, and 2) tell my wife to quit her part-time job, and start working less myself, because hey, producing revenues is hard and unpleasant. Oh, and I'd slash more in revenues than I slashed in spending because like Barbie said, math is hard.
