  1. Now that we're dealing with animals with a worm infestation, I wonder if we're gonna flip the script yet again and try to treat them with human medication for a totally different illness? Maybe we should hit 'em with insulin or something.
  2. I mean....it really is astounding -- and I say this as a fucking cynic of the highest order -- how fucking quickly our entire government and political culture went full-on "unabashed evil racist."
  3. Yep. My wife likes Starbucks. If we're traveling, out for the day, etc., and she wants to stop and get a latte, I go along with it and have her grab me just a plain pikes place roast. It's fine. But what I've NEVER understood is the American obsession with the drive through instead of going inside. 20 cars in line. Or, you could park, go inside and get your coffee, and leave by the time they've gotten through 3-4 cars. And yeah, I don't get CFA either. It's....fine. It's a good enough chicken sandwich, I guess, with no spice. The nuggets are tasty, but I'm only eating them if someone has ordered a tray for an event. Their waffle fries are horrible, limp sadness. My hypothesis on CFA is that it's "safe." It's for people who want a chicken sandwich, but aren't courageous enough to brave the chaos and entropy that is Popeyes. As for me, I'm a Popeye's man, and my place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
  4. I told the dude at check-in, and did likewise to the guy in the kiosk at the dropoff. He said he'd make an adjustment and I'll see it on my receipt. The receipt that the guy checking me in spit out obviously didn't have that (he did check me in as "Full," even though I was slightly under, as I had to gas up much earlier in my trip than I intended BECAUSE I WAS ALMOST OUT OF FUCKING GAS). So, I'll wait a day and see if there's an adjustment. If not, I'll have my assistant follow-up.
  5. Verdad. I like to drink coffee. Just...coffee. Not some froofy shit, not burnt-ass "french roast" shit, just plain old trucker coffee. Pikes Place roast at Starbucks is....fine. But if I'm traveling and just want a cup of coffee, pretty much anyplace that sells coffee has a regular cup just as good (usually better) than Starbucks. Convenience stores (if they have Community coffee, that's a big win), any number of fast food places, etc. My joy in getting a cup of coffee elsewhere while I see a long line of people at Starbucks -- even better when it's 20 fucking cars waiting forever in the drive through -- is one of the purest joys you can know.
  6. Started my day at Love Field for an early flight. Needed a big ole coffee. Line of people 30 deep at the Starbucks kiosk. Skipped that shit, walked right into Jason’s deli and walked out with a large coffee 60 seconds later. F’n amateurs.
  7. To mix it up, try some of the sweet-hot jalapeños. Trappeys makes some good ones. Good for bbq nachos - smoked meat, cheese, beans, maybe a bit of sauce, some of those japs…good stuff.
  8. “We seem to have forgotten that this is a district court — not a Denny’s,” Ho wrote. “This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone suggest that district judges have a duty to check their dockets at all hours of the night, just in case a party decides to file a motion.” Well….its the first time a POTUS has repeatedly demonstrated he’ll ignore court orders, especially in the middle of the night. Don’t act like a bitch, you won’t be treated like a bitch. And Ho is one of the worst Orange knob-gobblers on the planet. He’s a disgrace to the judiciary, humanity, mammals, carbon-based life…all of it.
  9. Oh…it’s been longer than that….
  10. Well, it seems the party continued after I packed things in. McDonald’s…..AND Ritz crackers? Somebody was being spoiled. Honeymooners perhaps?
  11. Seen outside an airport-adjacent motel tonight. Respek to you, fellow traveler.
  12. Your opinion on female body hair is waiting for you....you'll recant.
  13. I'll wait for someone to make a compelling case that the appropriate response to ICE trying to take you into custody isn't "shoot your way out" at this point. If they are going to fucking kidnap you and send you to a hellscape country that you aren't a citizen of and have no ties to, in open defiance of a court order.....yeah, you have literally one option to prevent that from happening. When we opt out of the Rule of Law, we necessarily opt into Rule of the Gun. Fucking stupid.
  14. Man. Go back to, say, page 8 of this thread, and see the usual suspects calling us out for noting the obvious bullshit of the "free speech" and "free thinking" claimed mission of this outfit. The nature of this endeavor was fully apparent from the get-go. Surprising to me that some relatively smart people (see the author of the piece above) instead took the institution at its word, and presumed it would actually follow the values it proclaimed (instead of using them as a smokescreen and excuse for being exactly as right-wing dogmatic and anti-free thinking as anyone with a lick of sense knew they would), but some people like to trust. I get it. But their experience gives us a clear and clean window into the actual function that we all expected. "Free speech and free thought" my ass. And fuck anyone who defended this bullshit at its outset, when it was obvious to all exactly what was happening.
  15. Trivial, not trivial? I report, you decide. Had to pick up a rental car today (last minute trip, took what they had - driving a Honda minivan). About 20 mins into my drive, I decide to look at the fuel gauge, to see how my mileage is going....and this is what I see: Fuckers at Budget gave me a ride with only about 1/4 of a tank of gas. And they expect me to turn it in full. I'll probably use 4 gallons of gas this whole trip. And I'm dropping it off early tomorrow, then running to make my plane, I'm not gonna spend a half hour at the Budget desk arguing. I'll send a strongly-worded note or somesuch, but this is some bullshit.
  16. Question: do you think that this study and recommendation will be primarily used to a) implement sound and balanced public health recommendations and policy, or b) as ammunition in the “see! Vaccines are bad, even the govt and docs admit it!” cause? You know the answer.
  17. Or….follow me here…actually defending the Capitol and Congress from a murderous mob, using belt-fed .50 cals until the bodies stacked up to the ceiling. You deal with active traitors and terrorists by killing them. That is how it is done. Always.
  18. I tried to warn em…but my folks are particularly vulnerable to a “macho!” message, and believing in pulling up the ladder behind them. So, Hispanics FA’d, gonna have to FO.
  19. Sigh. I see you've never traveled with my wife. I learned EARLY in our relationship that she had standards as to the kind of places we could stop. Whereas I am perfectly comfortable staying at dives with signs on the bathroom mirror saying "please do not clean fish or birds in sink."
  20. It’s not fine. It was the plan all along.
  21. I mean, how long HAS it been since you jerked off with a good view of the tower?
  22. Yes it is, actually. As noted above, that number is not random: When one of the president's primary, and most trusted advisors (that's what she is) says "there are 65 million illegal aliens," that is exactly what they mean. If you are hispanic, they believe that you are not an actual American, you have no right to be here, and they intend to use the full weight and force of the US government to kick us out. At the very least, they have wet dreams about "Korematsu II, Except This Time, for Beaners." 1) Declare that we are being invaded by the brown hispanic horde. 2) That is a hostile "invasion," thus invoke the Alien Enemies Act, while ALSO declaring that because we are being invaded, the writ of habeas corpus is suspended. 3) Arrest any and all browns, people whose names end in Z, all that shit. They are alien enemies, AND they have no ability to contest their arrest (no more habeas). 4) Shove them into massive internment camps (run by for-profit enterprises that will kick back a sizable portion of what they receive to the Trump family) all over the country (but....most of them will be conveniently located near where cheap labor, ag labor, etc. is needed), because... 5) All those captive hispanics will then be farmed out to large corporate contributors to the regime as ultra-cheap labor. Labor is priced at $10 per hour. Prison operator gets $8 of that, inmate gets $2, and the "employer" saves a fortune because he's now paying way below the prevailing wage. And that, folks, is how you make slavery functionally legal again.
