I agree with the op on some points. 
 

However there are times when you have to point things out too. Like when people invite you out to dinner, and they pick a “barbecue” place. And you’re nowhere near anywhere with even passable cue, let alone good. 
 

I had this happen recently. I knew I shouldn’t but I got a 3-meat plate and picked brisket as one. Took one bite of that rancid pot roast and the waitress showed up. I sent it back for pork. She asked what was wrong specifically, so I told her as politely as I could that it was dry, not cooked near long enough, was a roast and not a smoked meat, and the flavor was akin to cardboard. Then I added in, “that cow didn’t deserve to die for that.”

It was bad. Real bad.

I agree. I was born in Florida but moved to TX when I was less than 2 and was raised there my whole life. Just because you were born in Texas doesnt make you more Texan than I am....

Yes it does.

and yeah, I was born in CO and have lived here since I was 6.   I will never be a native Texan.

That being said, they might not love being a Texan more than you do. By definition though, they are indeed, a little more Texan than you.

Always makes me laugh at these deer "hunters" because they put these auto feeders out and feed the deer for 9 or so months and then climb up in a sniper tower and shoot them when they come out to feed in November. Not much "hunting" in that scenario.

Yeah, it's kinda like shooting a dog at that point. The animals no longer have any fear, and will just stand there. It's more like target practice than hunting.

OTOH, I have a few friends that are bow hunters, and the big thing with them right now is going out at night and shooting feral hogs with a bow. That, to me, is a different proposition.

I only hunt with hand crafted locally sourced spears, because I am superior.

Honestly, with the deer density in Texas there is no other way to do it.  I agree it does not take any real skill to shoot out of a blind.  But that is kind of the point of doing it.  I want to make the easiest and most ethical shot possible.  I have killed over 500 deer in my life and never wounded one.  We kills hundreds of deer a year at our place.  More than half from blinds.  (We also corn roads and shoot out of high racks).  You could not kill enough deer with archery equipment on a place like ours.  Just not possible.

Sneaking up on deer is not really a challenge either if the deer you approach are upwind.  I do it all the time.  I will pop a couple in my morning spot, then walk over and creep on deer in another spot.  

There just is not much opportunity in Texas for hard hunting like there is in New Mexico or Colorado, where certain types require excellent physical condition and the ability to shoot 400 yards.

That is actually very easy.  Hogs cannot see for shit, especially at night.  Just approach them with the wind in your favor and you can get right up on them.  Do it all the time, but use a rifle.  You can get real close at night where the shot whether with bow or firearm is easy.  All you have to do is listen.  They are easy to hear.  Then approach with wind in your favor.

[Steamboat1874 4084]

Believe me I have no problem with people that hunt deer and eat them. I wish you would wipe them all out so I am less likely to hit one while driving.

But trophy hunters are a whole other deal and they should be in jail.

Whether it’s home projects, woodworking, wrenching, gardening, or mixing craft cocktail syrup, this guy has a hobby or skill and thinks you should, too. He cannot accept why anyone would value their time or convenience, or simply another hobby over learning to do his thing and then doing it.  His way is more affordable/quality/ethical.All these guys are the same species, don’t be confused by hipster (craft cocktail syrup) or Marlboro man (construction) camouflage.

Also don’t confuse that guy with a guy who is good at something, enjoys it, and is happy to help you learn or finish your project—when asked— if he has time.  He’s a good guy, the opposite of a that guy.

I think that as we get distance from major, draft-era wars and the gap between military/civilian life, the weirdos and aggro assholes who used to say this shit just don’t feel the need to justify themselves anymore.  I bet he can still be spotted at gun shows and MMA gyms sometimes.

The guy who acts like you're stupid because you don't understand his special area of expertise. 

Just went through this installing some propane powered equipment. I don't know dick about propane beyond hooking up the cylinders for grills and stuff. 

The equipment got delivered except for the propane hook up, and the guy was coming down to do training, so this was all over the phone. He told me to order two hundred pound tanks. I do that, then he told me to get the equipment to hook the tanks together and run them into the common connection. 

"Oh, hell yes you need to get a regulator. Also you need a gauge. Just get a common hookup." 

So I start asking questions about the regulator. How much pressure does it need to be able to handle? Dittos for the gauge. What thread do these systems use? I tell him I don't know anything about these types of hookups and that's why we're paying them $67,000 for this equipment is because they're supposed to be the experts. Do the large tanks have a different type connection from the small tanks? What diameter pipe do I need? Should I teflon tape the connections? 

Guy acted like I was stupid cause I didn't come out of my mother's womb understanding how to build a propane manifold out of parts from Home Depot. 

Oh, and when he shows up, he's like, "these tanks are too small."

"You said two hundred pound tanks."

"Oh, I meant two hundred gallon tanks."

I tell him, "Propane's sold by the pound and the gallon. There's a lot of difference between a pound and a gallon."

I used to have a roommate who was 10-15 minutes late to work every single day for his 7am shift.  Didn't matter what time he got up, what time he pulled out of the driveway.  Every morning for him was, somehow, chaos of a different breed.  Fortunately, he did a good job and his work just accepted it.  

He was also one of those guys that was just "busy" all the time.  "I've just been so busy."  That pisses me off more than anything.  Fuck you.  We're all busy.  How about returning an email or a phone call or just participating in general friendship.  Fucker...

I routinely play basketball with a guy that gets “injured” multiple times each game with theatrics that will rival any foreign soccer player. He hobbles around for a minute or two and then drives the lane with some crazy moves. One day he will get hurt but no one will pay attention because of his antics. He is a good player but the act gets old.

Due to various major injuries in the past, I frequently tweak my ankle or knee. It’s searing pain for a few seconds (I’m talking take your breath away almost pass out type of pain), but then the pain is completely gone within a couple minutes.
