  1. I did mine a couple months ago. The shot doesn't feel great and I sort of felt the first snip, so I think they numbed the other side up more. I was surprisingly sore for a few weeks, but everyday stuff was easy after a couple days.
  2. One of college roommates is moving to Spain with his family soon. They're in a liberal state, but I'm pretty sure this is at least partially politically motivated. I'd move out of Texas yesterday if we could afford to. I guess I overestimated the American people when deciding to buy a house here a couple years ago. As it stands, we'll probably try to peace out before it makes financial sense.
  3. Big Balls can do the work of a hundred, nay, a thousand men!
  4. I thought he knew it was fake because they now know Helly is Helena Eagan, so the parade stuff was obviously made up.
  5. Hahaha, I was wondering about this. My liberal wife and many of our friends didn't change their last name. My conservative mother and her entire group? Say goodbye to your vote!
  6. Oh, I'm well aware it's purposeful.
  7. Have we discussed the SAVE Act yet? Not the one Trump nixed to make student loans unaffordable again. The new Chip Roy one that will, among other things, possibly make it difficult for married women who changed their last name to vote. https://www.newsweek.com/married-women-stopped-voting-save-act-2029325
  8. JD Vance's wife and kids have to be so proud. He almost makes Ted Cruz look like a vertebrate in comparison.
  9. So as long as you use an alt account, you can say anything without consequence. Good to know. This incel fuckwad didn't resign from bagging your goddamn groceries. He's running amok in the government's finances for the world's richest man, who doesn't even have a real fucking government position. Jesus fucking Christ, what is wrong with you people?
  10. A ton of the very racist shit was 4-6 months ago, dipshit. But please, tell us why a 24-25 year-old should not be held responsible for saying they were "racist before it was cool", that they couldn't be paid to interracially marry, and that we should "normalize Indian hate". Let him at all of our personal info. He's earned it and what's the worst that could happen?
  11. This is the truth, and the problem. How do you change people's minds when their entire purpose for being politically active is to make others suffer? They will gladly accept a masochistic role long as they can also dole out their sadistic desires.
  12. Does our resident Alaskan hibernate during winter? I haven't been in this thread long enough to know if he returns with the arrival of spring.
  13. Elez is back! https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/02/07/jd-vance-doge-marko-elez-resignation-racist/78333485007/
  14. I've read Blood and Thunder (years ago) and On Desperate Ground last year. Very easy to read, compared to some non-fiction.
  15. I picked this up on a recommendation from I believe @mdmost? It's a real page-turner, not just because it's captivating, but also because large print was the only option at the library. I feel like a speed reader.
  16. I was hopeful that might be the case. This should be a pretty good warning with anyone with half a brain, but the previous decade should have been as well.
  17. So when do we all flee to the west coast, northeast and Minnesota, pray Canada doesn't go too far right and beg for annexation?
  18. We just hit the fast forward button. Should be a pretty spectacular flameout. Hundreds of millions of years of spectacular life on this planet and we're the lucky ones who get to watch most of it get extinguished.
  19. I found this guy out near Granger today. I thought it might be a bald eagle in flight at first glance, given its large size, but as I got closer, the plumage was all wrong. I almost just kept driving, but decided to U-turn and scope it out. Ferruginous hawk. The SE edge of their normal range is Lubbock, so pretty scarce in these parts.
  20. Well in my case, my parents are in the valley for a while, although they normally live half an hour away. So this all took place over email so I could compose and organize my thoughts, with citations. My father responded that he gave money to a candidate for the first time in his life to Haley and voted for her in the primary. He also put on his Anastasis hat and said he hated the far right as much as the far left, and that we need to have faith that our checks and balances will prevails. I'm sure my mother is still crying.
  21. The fucking national championship was interrupted by Trump addressing the nation himself. My interest in the outcome was not remotely great enough to continue watching after having his bitchass shoved in my face without warning.
  22. On a personal level, my parents just fucked around and found out. The continued support of an obvious racist is just too much, even if they aren't openly espousing those views in front of me. I don't want my mixed-race kids around them until they do some serious soul-searching, and I told them as much. It fucking sucks, but pretending everything was ok and ignoring the state of the world when they were around was not going to be sustainable.
  23. I think plenty of people are blaming the Democratic party for fucking around and losing the election, but that doesn't absolve the idiots who voted for Trump. If my dumbass parents get screwed by cuts to Medicare or social security, or find their retirement account isn't enough to float them along thanks to Musk upending our financial institutions... Well, they made their bed. They can lie in it. I have no empathy.
  24. Another open white supremacist in the State Dept. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/politics/kfile-darren-beattie-state-department-controversial-tweets-white-nationalist-conference/index.html Three months ago he said “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.”
  25. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/04/nx-s1-5285470/venezuelans-florida-tps-immigration-trump "Beyond betrayal."
