Also, reality is completely uncoupled from reality. The market doesn't react to Trump's tariff statements anymore because they don't mean anything unless and until a tariff is actually imposed. Which maybe it will be. Maybe it won't be. Who knows?

The fact that we now live in the "college athletic coach to United States Senate-pipeline" era is yet another piece of evidence that, even standing alone, would merit total destruction of our planet by a rogue meteor.

So, I'm administering my father's estate, and he owned a home in Houston, as well as his residence in Austin. To do the inventory, I need an appraisal. Anyone got a name for a good, reliable appraiser in Houston? And for that matter, one in Austin? I know they can get backed up for months, and I'd like this done in the next 30-45 days if possible, so maybe that figures in. Thanks.

Man, I always was when I was 20 or so. Oh, wait, you’re talking about rain.

Correct. We have always had a giant moron class. It is the nature of humanity. However, they also mostly knew that they were morons. What has changed is that we have now weaponized stupidity, and they are now convinced that their idiocy is BETTER than intelligence. The dumber shit is? Well, that’s proof of how much better they really are. That’s what’s killing us: weaponized stupidity.

We might. But Mexico is gonna have to pay for it.

The man is a fucking lying psychopath, exhibit infinity. God I wish he would fucking die, tonight. Choke on a big Mac. Massive MI. I don't care. Just fucking die already.

To put it in sharp relief: Be brown and you once ran a stop sign back in 2012? You should be deported and/or shipped to a Salvadoran prison. Be white and commit $30 million in bank fraud, or steal $10 million of employee tax withholdings? FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL PARDON. But don't worry, folks. Remember......it's going to get a LOT worse. Wait until we get to type "be aligned with the administration and gun down political dissidents? Immediate full and unconditional pardon, pre-empting even the beginning of any DOJ prosecution."

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
Brisketexan replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
Seriously....WTF is fucking wrong with these people? What sane human looks at the image on the right and says "that...THAT is what I want?" These shitsticks have a warped sense of reality across the board. They have no fucking business telling humanity how shit should be, being that they think that we should pair off with gold digging manufactured cartoon characters. -
No. They won't.

I had some relatively recently (like, in the past 10 years or so). Holy SHIT, that stuff is SWEET. I understand some why I liked it as a kid, but man....I can't drink that shit now.

We've never reckoned with our original sin (slavery). Which is amazing, being that we fought our bloodiest war over the issue....but then we never finished the job. We lurched back and forth between the shittiness of Reconstruction and then the shittiness of Jim Crow, without ever solving a goddamned thing. We are a nation of immigrants.....that hates immigrants. We are a nation with a much-larger-than-normal "minority" population....that hates minorities. We are a decadent nation....that is violently puritanical about sex and drugs and such. We are a nation that brags on law and order....with an off-the-charts rate of gun violence. Our national ethos is denial. To get better, we don't have to self-flagellate. But goddammit, we need to admit to the full spectrum of our sins, and quit making excuses. So what are we doing? Literally BANNING any education that would "make white people feel bad." Which is shitty, when you realize that white people are the most fragile snowflakes around, and merely hearing that this country was built on a foundation of enslavement of black people, which distorted wealth and power in ways apparent to the present day, makes them hurt in their fee-fees.

Many of us have realized over the years "hey, I'm smarter and make better judgments than average." This board draws grads of a pretty university, so that's not an unfair conclusion to reach. But dear God, when you realize how uneducated and stupid the vast majority of Americans actually are -- and you realize that 1) you're not THAT smart, yet 2) you're also in the top 5% of intelligent and educated people here.....yeah, we're fucked. We're turbofucked. Not just because we have a giant critical mass of lizard-brained idiocy, but because they are now fully empowered and unleashed. "Weaponized stupidity." The rest of us don't have a chance. We're outnumbered by a staggering ratio.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Brisketexan replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
"Hey, Western Europe. I hate you all, hate you having functioning democracies, and will pour enormous resources into empowering the same kind of xenophobic fascist bullshit that led to the continent being a shitload of smoldering rubble 80 years ago. Wait, what's that? You don't like me and don't want to spend any money with me? Well, who could have seen that coming?" -
Quit excusing them and forgiving them. They are huge pieces of shit. They are mean, cruel, and shitty. We don't excuse the Germans for their choices in the first half of the last century, made for many of the same reasons and in similar circumstances. Fuck that shit. No matter how weak and scared you are, when you choose the "let's go with antidemocratic cruelty and xenophobia as our cornerstone beliefs" route, you chose shittiness and you are shitty. And you are making the world shitty for everyone else. I can feel pity for someone who was abused as a child. I can want them to get help. But once they choose to pass that abuse on to a new generation, then guess what they are? Piece-of-shit child abusers. Fuck them. "Understanding" and latitude only emboldens and further empowers those shitheels. Fuck them all. Crush them. Make them suffer, make their shattered selves crawl back under a rock, where they belong. If you love your country, you believe in fighting its enemies, and since the Civil War, this country has never faced an enemy as dangerous as MAGAs.

Yeah. None of this conversation matters. Paxton wins the R primary running away (seriously, he beats Cornyn by 10 points or close to it). And he'll win the Senate race against whoever the D's put up by at least 6 points. Because we are a shitty state full of shitty people, and Paxton's shittiness, criminality, etc., are not negatives -- they are strengths to our electorate.

Your lack of respect for Delaware Punch is duly noted. I remember being super happy as a kid when we stopped to pick up that exact combo at Joel's BBQ in Flatonia on the drive from Houston to south of San Antonio (Devine). You are definitely right -- we've come a LONG way since then.

Stiles Switch is a good call for that (it's all indoors). And man....I don't get out and about to good barbecue as much as I used to, but it irks me that I still haven't been to Interstellar. Gotta remedy that one day when I have time for the line.

You should stay away from them if you are involved in military decisionmaking with the Putin regime.

good at....getting every major rental car company to make the Taurus the bulk of their rental fleet. There was a good window of time there where if you rented a car, there was a 75% chance it was gonna be a Taurus. And the utterly generic nature of the rental car experience actually ended up harming the brand. When people thought "Taurus," they thought "cheapest car Hertz offers at Love Field."

Hairy approach and landing at AUS. Got a few screams from some passengers as we went into short freefall a coupla times in downdrafts. Landed fine, now backed up because every plane on earth waited till now to come in. No gates.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Brisketexan replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Love this. I hope he suffers. I hope his family suffers. And collapses. Nothing but their own pain has even a CHANCE of getting through to these fucking assholes. So....let's boost the signal, shall we? -
Dad? Also.....man, do I feel this post. I am a patriot. I always have been. I'm a big believer in "what can be." Or, at least I used to be. Today? Every chance we get to choose the wrong fork in the road....that's what we choose. What would a shitheel country do? Then that's what we'll do.\ And it's not our government. We're getting the government that a sizable chunk of "we the people" want. The problem with America is Americans. Yet...I still can't quit it. Bozo and I talked about this at the time, but a few years ago at an Austin FC match, Gina Chavez sang the national anthem. And she fucking SANG it. A hispanic, queer woman - this country and its leadership fucking HATE her. She has every reason to hate it back. But she didn't. She fucking embraced it. She declared with her voice that the anthem, the flag, this nation, belonged to her too. It is ours, too. In the last year or so, we've flown our flag on American holidays because fuck those fuckers who think they own it, and then use it as a shroud to wrap themselves in as they do utterly un-American shit. But will I stay here, long-term? I don't know. My daughter won't be coming back. Odds are 90% or better she'll make her life in Germany or the UK, based on her current grad school direction. My son, on the other hand....he lives overseas. He goes to school overseas. But he wants to save the world. And he wants to come back and save this country. I'm pretty sure he wants to come back and fight. With his life, if he has to. I've told him this country isn't worth his life, but I don't think he agrees with me. And I respect that. I'm pretty sure I felt that way too when I was 22. Are there enough people like him to make a difference? I don't know. And it makes me sad that at my age, I probably won't be alive to find out if it really did make a difference (I think we're a good 30-40 years from seeing if we can recover....because we've still got many years of "getting worse" to go). It makes me sad. It makes me so fucking angry. Because I love this country, and what it was becoming....a little bit better, bit by bit, every day. We made progress forward measured in inches (but it WAS forward). Now....we are lurching back miles, and miles, and miles. What takes generations to build can be destroyed in, literally, days. How can I feel proud of this country? I can't. Not right now. But I'm proud of my son. That's what I can muster, for now.
