So, I was looking for a specific gif to send to a buddy who is being a bitch and letting his wife walk all over him. Due to the nature of said gif, I was in parts of the internet I haven’t perused before, and I saw something that made me have an interesting thought.

If a trans girl and a cis girl make a porn together, isn’t that basically just standard guy/girl porn with a bonus pair of tits?

So I guess I'm kinda coaching my boy's U7 soccer team. Is it normal to want to hit something after the first day?

Holy shit. Our team just got whooped by miniaturized Premier League players.

These 6 YO kids actually listened to their coach when he shouted out different offensive formations. He got them playing zone and man defense, bodying up against some of the better players on our team. There was even a little kid doing step overs, headers and other moves a 6 YO kid should not be doing.

OTOH, most of our team was looking the other way, tackling each other or picking flowers. The regular coach and me (second time coaching ever) and I talked afterwards. We’re gonna make life fucking hard for the kids during next practice. No more or this everyone have fun bullshit. Win or dying trying.

That's funny. I had a similar but different experience today. 

11yo shows up 20 min early to her volleyball game today and she's the first person on her team in the gym. The ENTIRE other team is there warming up and have clearly been there at least 15 minutes before. Their coach has them running drills and practicing shifts like they were the UT volleyball team. My wife and I are like "oh fuck they're gonna kick our asses" ... but we're also like no biggie, because our coach is a great guy who wants to make sure these girls are learning their shit and progressing individually rather than making sure we win these dumb req league games. We just want her to get better.. and if her team loses, no big deal. 

We slaughtered them. Their coach had them running all those high level drills, but never had them practicing basic shit. 11yos who had mostly never played the game. Fucking dumbass idiot coaches.

I may or may not have told the kids that they're getting their asses kicked. 😂 

 

I felt bad for the 3-4 kids on this team who cared about the game. They were genuinely upset that we were losing. One of the kids even got a bit teary eyed because he couldn't keep up with mini-Ronaldo.

CBS This Morning > CBS Mornings.

They got rid of Anthony Mason and replaced him with Nate Burleson, the guy from their NFL panel show. He’s not a newsman. He adds nothing. Maybe Good Morning America was getting better ratings and they’re trying to compete. But they’re less newsy and more fluffy now. I used to be able to watch it during the 7 o’clock hour. Now they’re no different from Today or GMA.

Also, I’d like to know what the focus group history is behind the decision that Gayle King shouldn’t wear her glasses until the 8 o’clock hour. I’m sure it’s because there are more housewives watching during that hour but I’m not sure I understand the psychology behind it. Almost never wears them during the first hour. Always wears them during the second hour. Weird.

I did some googling (a few minutes) but found nothing.  If a <15 year old gets pulled over in Texas, does that person get a ticket and not eligible for a license until 18?  I have heard that before.  Wife lets our son drive in the neighborhood which I think is a horrible idea.  My lease on the dirt roads is where the learning should start.

There has been talk and fake outrage since I can remember about how certain sports teams names are offensive (redline, seminoles, etc). Yet no one brings up Jeep and the Cherokee.  

I'm pretty sure the Jeep is not considered protected. But I'll start a protect the sacred image of the Jeep society just because I like it.

So I have nothing against the WNBA - I actually find it fairly watchable - but how the fuck did one of the teams in the Finals go .500 on the season? 

It’s why they play the games, plus injuries may have had a hand in some teams record/season and maybe just now getting back to full roster.

Maybe they named the car after the Cherokee Fiddle and not the Cherokee Indians.

Buc-ees grosses me out. For one, it seems to mess up all the traffic trying to get by it because so many people are pulling in. But really, it's just the massive amount of concrete paving over acres of land so that a state/country that doesn't need it has easier access to Big Gulps. To me, it's a perfect symbol of American/Texan consumerism mixed with American/Texan love of massive parking lots.

I sometimes wonder how different things would have been if we’d invested the money in rail instead of the highway system in the 50s. Something like $500billion in current $$.

Your Russian would have been much better.

Our country would have turned out so vastly different but for the Interstate Highway System.  Somebody on the old site turned me on to a fascinating book about all the unintended consequences of the Eisenhower Interstate System.  It was absolutely needed to move military assets, raw materials, and consumer goods around this massive 2.5-ocean country.  But then you get all this goofy shit like tract homes, supermarkets populated entirely by processed foods, difficulty getting water, big box stores, impervious cover, etc.  

I wish the train system in this country worked better.  You can't fucking get anywhere from Texas by rail.

I loathe Buccee’s.  It’s hell on the highway.

Glad I'm not the only one. Seems like everyone loves it. I do get the appeal -- clean restrooms, good selection, welcoming. It's a smart business. Love seeing decent wages in middle of nowhere.

But it really seems to shine a light on the worst of big-box consumer culture.

Pretty soon you won't be able to find a decent small place to stop on the highway and everyone will be forced to mingle with fat asses.

The problem was there were VERY few “decent” small places to stop.  Bucee’s is like a deal with the devil, but it makes the wife happy which is worth the traffic/congestion headache.

The only Bucee's we stop at is the one in Wharton.  I'll drop off the wife at the front or side door and wheel over to the pumps for gas.  Then I park out on the fringe edge until I see her reappear with the road grub and swing by to pick her up.  With that being said we prefer the Texan and Stripes stores if we get the chance.

Is Cabo Bob's the next Austin business that starts to blow up? Holy shit it is so damn good and at a good price point for what you get. I could see them being huge one day.

If anyone knows anyone in the leadership, 1) tell them they have a great spot to eat and 2) I want to invest in them. Seriously.

I don't like chains, but it's an Austin-based one so I'll give it a pass.  My cousin used to take me there years ago because he worked a few blocks from that one on Ben White/35.  It is pretty damn good and a great value for the money.  

I'd start with franchise owner Kathy Thomas of Kerrville/San Antonio.  she's looking to open a second location in that market and has area first rights.  I'm guessing that's the next market to open a new store so that's where capital would be most welcomed.  There's not much capital stack space left in Austin.  You could try the Houston folks but I don't know them or their vision for more stores/area rights of refusal.  Plus Kathy went to UT (McCombs grad).  Always nice to do business with a Longhorn whenever possible.

It’s very good.  They opened a new location at 183/Anderson Mill right before COVID and it stays busy.

Is 38th/Lamar just the absolute mecca of Range Rovers in this town? I've actually made a game of counting them on my drive because there are so many. Wasn't counting today, but there must have been at least a dozen on my trip from Mopac to Lamar and back. It's ridiculous.

Adults only Halloween parties: why? I’m not talking about young college parties or clubs where the ladies let loose, these are awesome and should never change.

I am talking about married grownups with kids into the teens and beyond; very few of whom will be dressed scandalously and fewer of whom I want to see with no chance of a partner swap or something kinky. Why are you doing this, can’t we just drink?

I would read that newsletter.  But yeah to 956's point.  Just like the old saying, "Every man gets told he can't play organized ball anymore.  For some of us, that's 18, for others it's 40.  But we all get told eventually."  So too do the slutty milf costumes just kinda die out for each couple, each circle of friends, each neighborhood.  We used to have a blast at costume parties with friends until about mid-30's and then it just all seemed to wind down.  There's still one milf on our street that sluts it up for the block party, but otherwise...it's lost to time.  

So I'm stuck in that weird zone on my block where none of the moms really dress up (some of them are still quite attractive) and the females who did put on slutty costumes and come to the block party are in high school.  What would the name for such a zone be called?
