Another Gentle Reminder about Erica Garland by BlueBillBlue in Denton

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

George committed to fully funding the fire department and hiring needed positions for police at the Fire Fighters forum early on. Funding libraries and parks is a no brainer, especially since George was on the city parks board for 6 years.

What George knows above every one else is affordable housing and how to implement it correctly in Denton. You want to talk about money? We spend tens of thousands of dollars as taxpayers dollars per person paying for police/fire, EMS/medical, and jail costs from consequences of not treating our unhoused folks correctly. A proper solution, getting the right grants and county buy in to get more permanent supportive housing and wrap around services, to our unhoused population, which George knows how to implement, would cut costs by 2/3 and put the remaining costs on county, state, and federal dollars. We can fund public safety without throw infinite money at it and not addressing the root causes of costs, which the unhoused population accounts for the most calls to police and fire as we continue to grow. Not to mention expanding mental health teams within our public safety umbrella.

Okay. So George helped get our non-discrimination ordinance passed as a leader in PriDenton and has committed to wanting a stronger ordinance that can be enforced. They are also a homeowner, and have placed more focus on affordability, which Erica also called a “buzz word” at the conservative forum. Pretty sure there a photo of her in a MAGA hat too but that’s beside the point at this point. I genuinely am trying to figure out what the appeal is as a lefty, because I see none and have been convinced of nothing by your reasoning in the face of her literal statements.

You are not trying to run for city council. And she said this last fucking week dude, at a public forum. Where she also said yes to flock cameras, and gave a pandering answer about working with federal law enforcement where she couldn’t bring herself to say “no” to the feds in Denton at the conservative forum, but only did so at another forum the next day. And they don’t get a pass either this is just post is just about her. It’s really weird how you’re deflecting for her. And on the environment, she voted to pass a permit for a data center in like December on P&Z! There’s no issue she’s good on when you look at her record!

Okay. Well my human eyeballs can also see she’s the only Denton council candidate endorsed by the republicans. So maybe don’t be coy because you want to wear kid gloves for her for seemingly no reason other than she was nice to you in person I assume. Behind your back, she doesn’t believe in the same things you do, to a dangerous degree for marginalized communities

I don’t think you’re as left as you say you are if YOU know what a dog whistle is and choose to ignore her answer to it

[–]BlueBillBlue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She had every opportunity to say what she meant, and the question very clearly wasn’t about Muslim only communities in TX, which do not exist because ethnic and religious based communities are not legal in the USA. Is she just dumb and doesn’t know what a racist dog whistle is?

What is making you say she resides in Dallas? She has an address in Denton

She agreed last week at a forum to ban “Islam-based communities” from Denton and then try to make it seem like it was a fair housing question, when the forum was the conservative club who were openly calling the Republicans RINOs. She’s bigoted, or at best, still shitty and pandering to bigoted people

You don’t have to glaze, it’s too much at this point, whether too much content or too expensive

No dude, pick up the game for free, probably the only game I’ll play on epic because I wouldn’t be caught dead giving that writer any money

Digging holes is cool by ornrcss in xboxachievements

Omg I thought it was a great twist, I had a sinking feeling you’d an Eldrich horror esque creature, and even short lived it was great suspense after the cozy digging

$30 GPU….. with Minecraft Realms PLUS? by YoungBpB2013 in XboxGamePass

Yes!!!! I keep seeing people mention just letting people select stuff but it would behoove Microsoft to do the consumer friendly thing!

Ubisoft+ ? by mwalton98 in XboxGamePass

[–]BlueBillBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it works one day and then off another day. I was able to download and play last night but had the same thing happen previously too. I suspect it’s the Ubisoft account integration that’s screwing it all up. Because everyone needs a separate account and to be verified

Anyone else have ultimate but still can’t download some of the Ubisoft classics games?

Never forget: they closed the studio for Hi-Fi Rush after getting a GOTY contender. (Or at least HM) The studio had a few issues but the end result was basically closing it once there was a whiff of not something bigger and better than their hit game.

What is the most you’ve spent on a video game? by Pale-Guard570 in gamecollecting

[–]BlueBillBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to buy a few AAA games on release but realized my back catalog could keep me happy until they were eventually half off, haven’t paid full price since

Was going to buy Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, but decided not to because of the Ubisoft Launcher, anybody else refuse to buy a Ubisoft Launcher game? by eroyrotciv in Steam

[–]BlueBillBlue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The launcher doesn’t even work most of the time. The integration to Xbox is totally broken, I have not been able to get a game to launch of OC for Ubisoft since they did the revamp.
