  1. It gets you on the edge of your seat, does it not? I miss being bored.
  2. So what's the point in terrorists attacking if it doesn't garner any outrage? He Made America Safe Again!
  3. Heard talk that this would devastate children's cardiac programs, possibly causing them to shut down, as much of the very specialized equipment is produced in Germany. Killing kids to stick it to the libs!
  4. I probably shouldn't be considered for the mere fact I couldn't scroll down one more inch to find the job hunting thread.
  5. I'm a former medical professional (PA) who left the profession when my wife finished school 4 years ago. The plan was to have flexibility to travel and to stay at home for a while if we had kids. We now have 2, and the 2nd is approaching the age where we'd feel comfortable sending him to daycare. I've started to look at medically adjacent non-clinical jobs recently. During the last 4 years, I had a couple part-time stints (6-12 months) as essentially a local park ranger. My question is should I include those on the resume to fill in some of the unemployed time gap, or leave them off and just explain that I was caring for my children during that stretch, with the intent to eventually return to some medical role? Thanks!
  6. I'm at about 2 months of not speaking to my parents outside of letting them know that I did not die on I-35 when they asked. They're back in town after being in the Valley and want to meet up with my wife and me to hash things out. Should be fun. My wife dropped her best friend for being a Trumper recently, and she now holds my parents in extremely low regard. I can't blame her.
  7. I think they are very stupid. I also think that many in the administration are truly evil. No reason they can't be both.
  8. This is idiotic. You think we'd be putting tariffs on our closest allies over in Mordor?
  9. My congressman, John Carter, used to have someone at least answer the phone and take a message that was predictably never responded to. He has suddenly become more relatable in that he now does not have anyone answering the phone and his voicemail is full. What a worthless piece of shit.
  10. Can any fucking mainstream media comment on the invalidity of Trump's dumbass chart? It seems like it would be really easy to do.
  11. Is he sleeping in today, or something? I'm ready to be liberated!
  12. 8.3% with 82% reporting. 30+% victory by Waltz. Yay?
  13. I haven't listened to Rogan speak since the last time I watched Fear Factor as a 12 year-old. Is he a hard-core Trumper who pretends to care occasionally, or just a total fucking idiot?
  14. This is where I always clashed with my (final) christian gf back in college. A nazi who accepts Jesus gets his ticket to heaven punched but the jews he murdered are condemned to eternal hellfire? Seems like a suspect system...
  15. Fun hiking buddies in Big Bend NP! https://www.chron.com/life/wildlife/article/texas-national-park-big-bend-troops-20245858.php
  16. Nothing like enjoying the serenity and beauty of Big Bend NP alongside hundreds of troops and armored cars... https://www.chron.com/life/wildlife/article/texas-national-park-big-bend-troops-20245858.php
  17. Imagine, even in the depths of Trump's first term, Canada coming right out and saying we're not allies anymore. I was casually having drinks on Brisket's ledge after reelection, but even I am surprised with the speed of our descent. Truly remarkable. I wish I could be content to say I told you so. But instead it's more like "GET OFF THE SHIP NOW OR WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE, YOU GODDAMN MORONS!"
  18. My wife got to intubate a kid with measles the other day. Our youngest is still a few weeks shy of being able to get the vaccine, so that's fun. It really fucking sucks that Trump has been the dominant political figure for most of my post-graduate life. How much faster have we all aged this last decade?
  19. Respiratory virus desson going to be lit next winter!
  20. Well half his fucking cabinet was involved. One guy is easy to throw under the bus. A dozen dumbfucks he appointed? That's a little harder to do.
  21. Stupidity and malevolence are not mutually exclusive. Yes, the administration appears to be full of fucking morons. Those morons may also have just enough wherewithal to want to cover up their actions.
  22. That is horrible for her, but if I had a blood/bleeding disorder, you would not find me swimming with dolphins, riding horses or doing anything else with animals much larger than me.
  23. Yea, but even if Hegseth left his cell phone on the bar counter in Moscow, I'm sure he has that thing strongly password protected.
  24. The best "but her emails" example... so far.
  25. Technically, just a subspecies of the greater prairie chicken, which is itself highly endangered, as are nearly all grassland birds in the country. But that should make it even easier for the administration to wave off any criticism about this. Nevermind that there were once 2 million of them in the state, and now they're a shadow of a shadow of what they once were. But those goddamn freeloading biologists who live on site and make next to nothing to protect the refuge are practically stealing taxpayer dollars!!! I have a friend who spent a year there. He sounds heartbroken, as I imagine virtually every NPS worker across the entire country is these days. It is a beautiful prairie. I've been several times, never on a guided tour. Seen the prairie chicken once. But they are just part of an underappreciated landscape.
