    It really does become panic mode in here every single night, doesn't it? Jesus, I need to restrict myself from the cloak room after 6 pm for mental health. I feel great about things from the drive to work to the drive home, and then when I settle in to relax for the evening, you assholes freak me the fuck out.

    They've blown the shit out of a bunch of mountains in the Arizona wilderness to put up the stupid fucking wall in just a couple of months, so certainly enough to do damage. And like someone above posted, once there's a foothold, its going to be much more difficult to rescind.

    Mother fucker. Friendly reminder that Trump is the only president to reduce the amount of protected public lands.

    Not as much as old white dudes like to play that game though. My Korean wife gets asked "Where are you from?" constantly by older, white men. When she replies "Colorado", she then gets the fun follow up of "But where are you FROM from" or "Where is your family from?", which is especially fun because her family is white folks with English ancestry.

    Took the wife to vote last night for the first time in 8 years (for her). Wise county going blue, y'all!

    Thanks for the reminder. Now that I'm paying, I won't feel so bad about my shitty drunk posts.

    The dynamic duo will be making the move to Austin at the end of the year. For the old man, this will be his 12th?? home in his 5th city since my wife adopted him a decade ago. He's the easiest pet ever.

    Mango got spayed last weekend. It was so bizarre to see her motionless and quiet that evening. But she was back to her normal energy level, if not her normal physical capabilities, the very next day. Until the 300 mg of trazodone hit...

    Dragging my wife to the polls Tuesday evening. She didn't vote in 2016 but I'm not going to let her get through this cycle without voting. Idk which way my sister went in 2016, but I would guess 3rd party or no vote and she is a definite Biden vote this year. I had high hopes of turning my parents, but it was not to be. They tried to attend a Trump boat parade without us kids finding out, and I'm fucking disgusted. I don't know whether to shame them or ignore them. I've gone with the latter so far after many deleted text drafts. If you're voting Trump when your daughter is part of LGBTQ, your youngest son lives in Cali where Trump is refusing to provide assistance, and your eldest is going to invade the suburbs with his minority wife I guess you're just too far gone. It makes me wonder if they were always this way, or if years of fox news, excessive sun and lake water rotted their brains.

    Hahaha, apparently the snowflakes got triggered by the fuck Donald Trump song. Real tough dude there...

    Hopefully that is the aggressor's truck and he gets his.

    Right across the street from where I work. Wish I recognized the cold-cocking coward.

    He's also the first president where there is going to be less protected land at the end of his administration than the beginning, if you care about that sort of thing. And while the wall is a joke, it is going up in Arizona, where they are blowing up protected wilderness and important indigenous land to do so.

    I've got a Mango, too. A 5-mile hike with her new weighted vest buys me about 90 minutes of peace and quiet. I'm just glad that it's cooled down enough to burn some of her energy outside rather than watch her pinball around the house.

    I never notice it shut down during a cycle, but when I go to start a new load I realize its been tripped. I may be able to reach a different outlet to see if that makes a difference. Thanks for the input.

    I bought a used washer that has worked fine for the last year. Recently, it started tripping the braker every few wash cycles. I would love to limp along for the next 3 months until I move and get a new one anyway, but also don't want to burn the house down. Any thoughts on what's going on that would cause this and how urgent of a problem it is to correct? My location and hours make it difficult to get a repair guy to come out and take a look.

    As a Wise county resident for 13 months longer than I could have ever imagined, color me shocked that such fuckery could be afoot in this shithole.

    More fun, this time about plastic recycling. https://www.npr.org/2020/09/11/897692090/how-big-oil-misled-the-public-into-believing-plastic-would-be-recycled?utm_campaign=storyshare&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social

    https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/science-environment-54091048?__twitter_impression=true We are doing an exceptional job of destroying everything. Who needs wildlife when you can just have a world of people, cows, pigs and chickens?

    https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/08/black-paint-on-wind-turbines-helps-prevent-bird-massacres/ no word on cancer rates I'm 2 species shy of 400, so I care. Not climate related, but we could also turn off lights at night, especially in the spring and fall, keep cats inside and make slight changes to windows to make them more visible to birds. But why make any changes when we could keep doing the same shit and continue to wipe species off the globe? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Got my mail in ballot application today, tore it up and tossed it in the trash. Just updated my drivers license address so these Wise county motherfuckers can't give me any shit when I go to vote in person on the first day of early voting.

    After mostly controlling myself for the last 4 years (excluding the occasional alcohol-fueled family holiday) in regards to my parents Trump support, the dam is starting to break. I try not to instigate too much, but the recent blatant racism in the leadup to the election is just too much. If he is going to vote for that asshole, I want him to at least experience some shame or realize that his children respect him less than they once did for that indefensible decision. It's all so maddening and depressing...

    They are both bikers and boaters, so I guess I should just count it as a win that they weren't part of Sturgis or any of the stupid ass boat parades. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    "I don't argue there are idiots out there. But they exist on both sides." Damn it, just got Anastasis'd by my own father in response to the minority invasion of suburbia. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    I don't stop by the thread for one day and miss out on a bird ID. I guess I've never gotten such a good look at a juvie kite perched because that one stumped me for a minute too, even though I see adults every day in the summer. Juvenile raptors are tough IDs for sure Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
