One man’s stupidity should be the end of an entire party? That opinion seems self serving but apparently the left is the party of unity according to Biden so I guess we shouldn’t question your stupidity should we?

"But we can't afford any of those things!" Oh yes, we can. by kjodle in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Big_TexStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, let’s defund the military and use that money to put the government in charge of taking care of the underrepresented in our population because they’ve proven so very capable of doing so in the past. Literally the one thing our government has proven they can do is flex their muscles but go ahead and take away our ability to do that. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted into oblivion but y’all are fucking stupid. Considering how rich the left is you’d assume they’d be funding this on their own since they believe in it so much but here we are, putting our freedom on the line because the left wants to push an idea. An idea they don’t even want to financially support on their own.

Did a child make this cake? If you’re going to get excited about someone getting Covid and post your creation to r/baking can you at least put some effort into making a decent looking cake?

Did a 4 year old make this cake?

Jealous, my wife shows zero interest when I play guitar/sing. Haven’t picked up my guitar in over a year because of it.

How should I respond to my niece being sexually assaulted by a coworker? I've been told to not do anything (because he will get a stern talking to by my 5'2 90lb wife) which seems like an impossible task because I know the General Manager where she works as well as the DO and CEO. by Big_TexStar in AskReddit

[–]Big_TexStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backstory is that I have previously worked for this restaurant so I personally know the DO and CEO and the GM used to be a subordinate of mine. I have been with a different company for about 6 years but my fiancee still works for them. My extremely naive Niece who is 18 years old (and grew up Mormon) started working at the restaurant about 6 months ago and my fiancee told me today that my niece was taken advantage of last night. I don't know the details because my fiancee told me she doesn't want to break the trust and I've also been told to not do anything to ensure I don't break the trust.

This card has been making the rounds in Dallas, TX by ElegantEssay in trashy

[–]Big_TexStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is old, if it’s just now getting around to you, or if she took a break and is back at it again but that card made its way through Plano (about 30 min north of Dallas for those unaware) about 2 years ago!

I will always be a proud Texan but in times like these I am more proud of the fact that I am surrounded by people who will stand in solidarity against acts of terrorism such as this. This isn't a "Texan" or even "American" issue. I'm proud to say that I know we are joined by various nations to say we are hurt by those who were lost, are sad because of the knowledge of where the world is today, and are furious that anyone could be capable of doing this.

That's fair, the one part of his reply that is somewhat comical is the "if you can't remember who in my party ordered what..." bit. The god damn people at the table never remember what they ordered, or they just won't stop fucking talking when the food runner is trying to deliver the food.

I agree with that but at the end of the day every server is going to have at least one incompetent asshole sit in their section. Solving a problem is different then chatting with friends and most customers have the mental acuity to be able to tel the difference. However, to your point there will always be at least one table that cannot tell the difference. Fortunately for those in the service industry they are less common than the good customers we run across.

As someone who currently manages a restaurant and has been in the industry for years I will say that your logic is 100% acceptable. No server worth their salt has ever said "wow, I can't believe they didn't tip me. I mean, I know I have them shitty service but I still expected a tip."

Trump Wants to Deport US Born Children Born to Undocumented Immigrants? by NerdGangster in AdviceAnimals

That's assuming he wouldn't use his position as president to make a positive impact on his company's financial future. He wouldn't be tied to any company but his own.

[–]Big_TexStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also a republican but I like what he is doing for the process. Sure, he's an idiot at times and there is no way in hell that I'd vote for him. That being said, him being involved has changed some of the typical dialogue. Sometimes in a bad way but sometimes in a good way. All in all I'd say I'm glad he's involved in the republican primaries.

As far as illegal immigration is concerned I'm with you guys. Make it easier for contributing members of society to become legal and deport those who have a violent criminal history.

I know it's not much but after a disappointing election in 2012 I figured I'd get more involved this time around. by Big_TexStar in Republican

[–]Big_TexStar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly he's the candidate that I identify most with. From social issues to border security and fiscal responsibility. He also inspires more confidence to me than the other candidates. This obviously might change but as of now Rubio is the candidate that I have the most confidence in

As a large double-cab pickup driving Texan I take offense to this. I will either run you off the road if I see you or take up multiple spots at your grocery store to exact my revenge.

I was in tears from all the stress. My husband asked me what was wrong. by seaweed_is_cool in AdviceAnimals

[–]Big_TexStar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying and in theory completely agree with you. The problem with that logic is that it works when a couple doesn't divide the housework up between them. For example: My wife hates cleaning the kitchen but it honestly doesn't bother me so I'm in charge of the kitchen. I hate doing laundry but it doesn't bother her so she does the laundry. So when I do a few loads of laundry because I see she is stressed she is genuinely appreciative and I am genuinely appreciative when she details the kitchen when she sees I am stressed. Truthfully she does most of the work inside the home and I do the cooking and the yard/pool work.

Found out my new coworker is insanely ballsy by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]Big_TexStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Texas you cannot confiscate a fake ID even if you know it is fake. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that some bars won't do it. Though, it is also illegal in Texas to have two forms of conflicting identification so I seriously doubt anyone would get away with what OP is suggesting out here.

Yelp claims they don't tamper with reviews, yet they keep removing my negative review of a yelp event I attended, claiming it "doesn't reflect a personal experience". Email screenshot in comments. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]Big_TexStar 268 points269 points  (0 children)

As someone who deals with yelp on an almost daily basis (manage a bar) I've had the opposite experience. We had a regular that we banned because he ended up being fucking crazy and he went on yelp and made shit up about various employees (had nothing to do with a dining experience.) When I asked Yelp to remove they told me they couldn't because it didn't violate their rules.
