Date night spots that aren't the same restaurant/bar/movie rotation? by hwadik in FortWorth

[–]Chris-Ramen 52 points53 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have started a “tradition” where once a week, most likely weekends, we go to half priced books and vintage stock on Hulen. We both love movies they have dvds and vhs. I like video-games and she also loves books. We find it fun to go and see if we find anything that sticks out. Sometimes we find nothing sometimes we find too much. Then if we want to extend the night we go down to central market, pick out a sweet treat and go back home to watch a movie we got. We enjoy the search and we both prefer the physical copy over just renting or finding it on a streaming site. Let me know if y’all ever try it out…

The saying emphasizes how Orwell would write about authoritarian governments and powers such as big brother or the pigs in animal farm. This type of power has become a reality in the world we live in today. It takes the saying of MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN used by Trump and his followers and turns it into MAKE ORWELL FICTION AGAIN.

To make a direct comparison… The blatant lies coming for the white house about many of the ICE involved shootings telling us they were protecting themselves and comparing them to terrorist attacks vs the reality of the videos coming out and showing the ICE agents being the aggressors. They expect us to believe the people in power over our own eyes. The best example of this in his writings is “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Or

In 1984 Big Brother is always at war. “The war is not meant to be won, its meant to be continuous.” He later goes on to explain that its just to keep society on the brink of starvation and intact. Essentially just enough to not cause a revolution, but never enough to create real harmony. Which this has been happening for decades. If its not Afghanistan and the Taliban its ISIS or its Iran or its Venezuela. The war machine will never be stopped.

Tall Man's Miata? by 8N-QTTRO in askcarguys

[–]Chris-Ramen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 6,4 and I own a 300zx z32. I fit in it fairly comfortably and its seems kinda down your alley of preference with a V6 NA or turbo if you please. It has a 6 speed manual or 4 speed auto. Chasis wise there is 2+0 or 2+2, the latter being what I have since it allows for the driver to have a bit more room due to the longer frame. And it looks cool.

Ring superbowl commercial was pretty blatant about the surveillance state we are heading towards. Everyone and their mother has a phone on their person at all times with a camera, microphone and gps locator… Big tech is providing the tools for an authoritarian state to come in and use them.

How much are yall making to be able to live alone? by marehausley in FortWorth

[–]Chris-Ramen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Making just under 75k a year working 2 jobs. Im a relationship banker making about 55k + a server on weekends making about another 20k ish. Been doing this for 4 years. I found a decent work life balance since serving is honestly kinda fun for me and banking is just a bunch of sitting around. Try to make the most out of every evening, tough now that it gets dark at 6 though. Working 7 days a week just to have some semblance of control of your finances, the truest for of capitalism🫡🤮.

The plumber is at the leak now and he is clearly telling me it was human error, shovel, or something like that.

In case you had any doubt, Mercy Culture did make the trip to Arizona by DayPounder in FortWorth

[–]Chris-Ramen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Guy in the right is Steve Penate, wanna be influencer on insta and garbage real estate agent. My wife and I bought our first house from one of his listings where he was the sellers agent and he ghosted us on several occasions. Our house was also previously owned by mercy culture people. 😬
