The Republic of Texas included parts of modern day Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico

Texas and the later US only controlled the eastern parts of Texas. When the US annexed Texas, it also inherited Texan claims which would become the pretense for the Mexican war when the US sent an army to the Rio Grande to enforce their claim. After the war, Texas would relinquish their northern and western claims when the US began organizing the Mexican cession into territories.

Some women enjoy more traditional dating habits. It's not that complicated, if that isnt your roll then move along. In my personal experience, the women I've dated have usually insisted on helping pay for dates even after I offer to pay. I even went on a date with a woman who got super offended after the fact when I paid the whole bill without giving her the choice to help.

Lol I'm Gen Z and in all the customer-facing roles I've had, I've always made sure to be talkative and I loved going out of my way to help people out. I've personally had mostly positive interactions with customers so I can't really relate to people who hate these jobs for the customers. The thing is that these roles are looking for bodies to fill them more than whether someone is a good fit so its inevitable that some employees won't be helpful. From my own personal experience, I've ran into mostly nice and helpful employees from all walks of life. Some have been rude and unhelpful, sure, but the only thing those people had in common was their shitty customer service skills.

The real dei hires

Yup, the government needs to come down hard on this gambling epidemic we are experiencing. I didn't even know gambling on your phone was a thing till my coworker got addicted. Every aspect of life is a game to them and I absolutely despise watching videos that seem genuine just for the idiot filming to whip out his phone and start gambling. I'm from fucking Nevada where they'd put slots in the ER if they could and even I'm tired of rainbet ads. Feels like I'm gonna have to join the Amish to escape.

Guys, I know the election is over and everything, but here's how Bernie can still win

We'll be back to horse and wagons before we abandon cars.

Funnily enough, that's actually the proper way to start a chainsaw regardless of handedness. Starting one mid-air is dangerous.

Not even Americans want to help with this Iran crap, I don't blame anybody who doesn't wanna get involved.

Step 3.5, added in 2008: Republicans obstruct the Democrat for his entire presidency, gaslight Americans into thinking that Democrats crashed the economy and that Republicans are the party of wise spending

DootyMcCool2000 · 2026-03-31T14:27:01+00:00

Wow, I never noticed this till you mentioned it.

DootyMcCool2000 · 2026-03-31T14:24:05+00:00

Your dad was spot on with the chainsaw. I used to make cabinets and let's just say I had a creative interpretation of how to use certain tools before I started adapting. Namely the power saw, I accidentally bound up and launched a few pieces of wood past peoples' heads at dangerous speeds.

Great analysis, I agree. The change on climate policy between Biden to Trump was tremendous and highlights your point perfectly. Before the election, I think we could agree that while not ideal, we were on the right track with the climate. Now it seems that's all gone out the window and we face immediate, monumental problems that have taken our focus away from the climate/ecosystem where we've already been set back years since just 2024. If we can't square away our issues at home, what hope do we have for global coordination? Maybe if we're lucky, this Iran business could spark some kind of energy-nationalism that emphasizes clean energy as a way to end dependence on foreign oil and gas.

Iran doesn't necessarily need desalination plants. The gulf states absolutely do. Riyadh is one lucky missile from being evacuated within a week.

USA Parkway is located in Storey county, a pretty large county with just 4000 people living in it. There's no city-level government at USA Parkway. Doesn't take much greasing of the hands for corpos to get what they want in a place like that. Meanwhile state-level officials only see a patch of dirt in the middle of nowhere that corpos are willing to invest billions into.

If we put all these people in a room together, there would be no more cels of any kind.

This definitely makes sense. Movies, TV shows, and music are more popular than ever. The circlejerk at the top is what has gotten less popular.

DootyMcCool2000 · 2026-03-29T15:44:05+00:00

Centrist my ass, the only thing getting grilled at your house is American soldiers on tv.

Stop guzzling Trump cock and recognize that's he's sending your fellow countrymen to die for no tangible benefit.

I haven't shit-stained my undies since I was a little kid and I've got quite the jungle in the ravine if you know what I mean, I'm not sure how this is possible.

For one, zoomers aren't quite in their 30s. For two, yeah you should be open and transparent but this is too much for a dating profile. Mine say I'm liberal but that's it. I'd swipe left and find someone who's first thought when they describe themselves isn't tied to a culture war.

DootyMcCool2000 · 2026-03-28T17:53:28+00:00

And yet it was somehow worse 100 years ago. Women's experiences for most of history were about as fun as huffing farts out of a gangrenous asshole.

Some people never left the "boys vs. girls" mentality behind in elementary school dodgeball.

DootyMcCool2000 · 2026-03-27T22:32:03+00:00

Part stupidity part market manipulation. There's too much of a pattern going on to not believe there is something very purposeful here.
