Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Brisketexan replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Well, she's tired of trying to figure out what kind of car to drive, so this seemed like a good Final Solution. After all, it's better to have your own wheels than to have to constantly heil a cab. I do understand that she'll Wansee the graffiti cleaned up, but that may take a bit of time. I hope when her initial führer dies down, she'll be able to find peace. -
Oh, zero argument from me. The opening sequence of the first episode was a jaw-dropping moment in entertainment history. The visuals, the feel, the song. I remember coming to school the next day and most every guy was all "DID YOU SEE THAT SHIT?" I mean, dude ran for 2,003 yards to hold the single season record for YEARS. So, you know....it's all good.

The truck company carries.....$750k in insurance. Wanna bet that it has next to no assets (bet the trucks are leased)? Amazon's shell game will yet again prevail.

It's okay. We'll be distracted by the war with Canada before the end of the summer. So we have that to look forward to. And no, I'm not kidding. It has ratcheted up from "no fucking way" to "maybe it could happen" to "holy shit, it's really going to happen" in no time. You cannot demonstrate the level of belligerence that Trump has towards Canada and NOT end up in a shooting war. Dear God, this is all so dumber than even I could have imagined.

Which one?

No, see, they're Schrodinger's tariffs: simultaneously 1) generating trillions in revenue, because trillions in foreign goods will keep flowing into the US, thus providing a revenue stream that will replace all taxes on Americans, just as Trump promised, while also 2) causing the flow of foreign goods to STOP coming into the country, thus immediately boosting American manufacturing etc. so we will become the manufacturing economy we were in the 1950s. Both a massive inflow of goods, and no inflow of goods....happening at the same time. That's the Trump economic miracle! And we have fucking morons around here who still think that's great, although they insist that "they don't support Trump." FFS, they engage in magical thinking of the impossible.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Brisketexan replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
It was posted. And I posted the accurate version: "their unelected, senior appointees did." If Donnie was to implement his own version of a "Final Solution," Elon is EXACTLY the guy he'd have put it together....and then get all the lucrative government contracts for crematoria and the like. So, Elon is, yet again, the nexus of all evil that man can possibly have. He is, without fail, the exact person he claims to hate. The day of his death will be an incredibly positive turning point for humanity as a whole. -
Beau, standing as best men at the last wedding he attended...

I'm a grown-ass adult male. There are standards. Barney knew them.

I've also found that my heat tolerance has declined as I've gotten older. Last summer, we attended an outdoor wedding in Oklahoma. It was f'n hot, and I was in a suit, because I'm a man. I hydrated before -- nothing major, but also probably not enough, based on how I reacted. After the wedding, we went inside to the reception....and I promptly sat down and drank a lot of ice water because I was looking pale and felt clammy. Took me a good 20 minutes of cooling off inside and drinking lots of cold water before I felt back to normal. I can work outside in the heat if I plan for it, hydrate well, and take actual breaks. But I'm not as resilient as I was 30 years ago, when I could fix fence, feeders, and blinds all day in July. Oh....and the euros DO NOT FUCKING HYDRATE. It's something we comment on every time we visit. FFS, would you people drink some water? Water is not around or available like it is here, they don't drink it like they do here....and I get it, 7 months of the year are chilly and damp in Germany. But the other 5 months....are not. And even during those chilly months, you're often inside in artificially heated air that dries you out. DRINK SOME WATER.

Yep. Young people on the roads is a recipe for parent terror. For real, it's one of the upsides of my kids going to college places where they don't have cars and use public transport. Go out and get drunk on a Saturday night? Cool. It's much safer to know they are stumbling/taking the train home than getting into someone's car at 4:00 a.m. Every mile the DON'T drive is a mile where they are much, much safer. Shit, I've started to adopt the same approach for us - if we can fly or take some other transport, that's just safer.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Brisketexan replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Lifting the cap on contributions is easy pickings. And I say that as someone who would sure as hell take a hit on it -- I max out pretty early in the year. Just keep taxing me, and use the extra to make up for the shortfall elsewhere. People of current means/income can do more to lift things up. I'm okay with paying more in taxes if it actually means that fewer of my fellow Americans have to spend the last years of their lives eating cat food and living among roaches. I mean, do that later. For NOW, I want maximum suffering, I want the whole system to fail so that maybe the fucking idiots who vote for Trump and this shit will realize "gee, maybe we DO need a functioning government and society." But, once we are back on some sort of "so, society and the common good maybe matter a little bit" train instead of the "fuck everyone, rich people get everything and more of it, everyone else can get fucked, TRIUMPH OF THE WILL!" train, I'm all-in on that plan. -
"First, give me access to everything in the NSA's files, especially any information on people who disagree with Trump or me. You can trust me, I won't do anything bad with it. Oh, I don't have any other ideas, that's the only one -- I just said 'first' to make it sound like I had an actual plan."
-
Yeah....we've got some similar issues. I'm looking at spending some real dollars to get some folks in to clear any remaining dead vegetation from a decent perimeter, removing all the leaf litter, and such. And I'm thinking about a rooftop fire suppression sprinkler system. There's some cost involved, but geez. The risk is only going up.
-
Yeah....even the images from the side of the overall scene. Fuck. That's nightmare fuel. The fact that no matter what you do, how prepared and safe you are, etc.....there's always a non-zero chance of something like this that is totally out of your control taking out your entire family....fuck. The mere concept has made me sick to my stomach once we became a family, and I don't think that gnawing fear will ever go away.

Lol he even gets butthurt when he loses at Catan or Ticket to Ride. What a bitch ass They’re all bitchasses. They felt inadequate, unloved, etc, and they are trying to fill the void. Simple success doesn’t fill it. Massive success doesn’t fill it. Power used to succeed more doesn’t fill it. Eventually they try welding power with petulance and cruelty…and that doesn’t fill it. Nothing ever can or will. And we will all pay the price as they ratchet shit up, and up, till their dying day. Oligarchs are evil, and among the most destructive forces humanity has ever seen. They would literally destroy every human on earth if they thought it would bring them the sense of value and self-worth that they can never seem to reach,

WTF? That’s fucking horrific.

Around $80 million per plane, X 28 planes. That’s over $2 billion in lost sales for Lockheed.

Some years ago, I was in a W. Texas courtroom, representing the good local folks against an overreaching and arrogant oilman type, who was used to getting his way. After an afternoon in court, he was most definitely not getting his way. After telling him what was what, the judge ordered us to the jury room to talk things over and see if we could work out a deal. We went there. I sat in a chair, and laid out our position and expectations (we had the upper hand, and I wasn't giving it away). He got RIPSHIT pissed. He got up from his chair across the room, and he came at me, with no doubt as to his intentions. And I recall sitting there in my chair, thinking with a slight grin "he's going to punch me. It's going to hurt. Also, I'm going to win this whole damned case, he's going to write me a personal check, and he's gonna spend the night in jail." My grin got bigger. I didn't move -- I wanted him to punch me in a chair in a room full of witnesses. Because that's how you fucking WIN. Unfortunately, HIS lawyer saw what was happening, jumped up, and cut him off. We still did well that day, but man....him punching a defenseless man sitting in a chair would have handed me total victory on a silver platter. Make them do incredibly shitty things in broad daylight. It's how they lose any legitimacy they had. Make 'em do shit like this:

That was covered when you typed "she." -
Well, that's swell. Let's make insurance rates skyrocket without doing anything to actually mitigate the risk. Swell.

NowThis is Elon? Elon is NowThis? IT ALL MAKES SENSE! -
This. I really, really want someone to send me the crib notes of the Business School course that all these Patagonia vest-wearing PE types obviously took. The course that says "enshitten everything. Take something that people loved and were loyal to, find out why they loved it and were loyal to it, and remove every single thing they state as a reason for said love and loyalty." It's about sucking as much cash out of the entity over the next 1-4 quarters, then dumping your stake in the lifeless husk that remains.

See, just like that, no more FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSE! Surely DOGE is getting rid of pointless frivolity, like video game systems in government offices. Surely. They have to be. Right? Wait, what's that? DOGE is a fucking lie told by and staffed by complete sociopaths? Well golly jeepers, I'm shocked. -

Just remember what the Second Amendment fans have been shouting from the mountaintops for the past 20 years. Not my words. Theirs.
