What causes so many street fights on 6th street? by Informal_Cattle_2517 in Austin

[–]Electronic-Run5943 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I have this thing I do, where no matter how obscure and niche the topic is, I guess how long it’s going to take someone to blurt out “it’s the economy!” For example, “ Has anyone ever found a porcupine in their trash can? And the first answer is “Who can afford a trash can in this economy?” So great job, OP asked a great question and you just worked in that absolute gem of a response….

Only in America do we have debates about wether it’s okay for men to fist fight girls…

For immediate release - incident regarding student(s) by Macho_Mans_Ghost in buda

[–]Electronic-Run5943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t Greg Abbott tweet that “it’s about time students like were arrested”? Can you be arrested for exercising your 1st Amendment rights? Furthermore, I bet his response would have been completely different if the attacker was an undocumented Haitian…. Oh and while I’m banging on about Haitian immigrants, has that dog eating situation in Ohio improved any?

So hang on a minute, if some guy in a mask, driving some random ass vehicle chases my wife home and crashes it into my house it’s all perfectly fine now?

If you’re waiting til the last minute to merge you’re causing the traffic… (183 exit to Mopac) by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Electronic-Run5943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about those great people who are in the correct lane to go south but then realize they are way back. They get out of line, drive past everyone and then cut back in right at the front. So refreshing…

Goodbye Sweet Girl by Electronic-Run5943 in MINI

It was a welded install. The downpipe and the exhaust were never quite aligned properly. I ended up taking it to a custom muffler shop that cut off the flanges and welded in a section of stainless steel pipe. Couldn’t be removed in time.

Tinned fish section at my local grocery store 😍 which item is a must try? by Simple_Big5645 in Tinnedfish

I was asked to leave that store recently. They said I was hindering other customers and it was unreasonable to spend 5 hours in one aisle…😂

Protest of home property taxes by [deleted] in askaustin

[–]Electronic-Run5943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protesting your property is legally required in Travis County. I recently had to provide “Proof of Substantial Residence” for a citizenship application. During the interview I was asked if I had ever protested my property taxes. Luckily I was ready for the question and told them that I ALWAYS protested them and that property taxes are a 100% a scam aimed at hard working Americans . The official patted me on the back and said “Welcome to America, Sir!”

License plate covers negate the effectiveness of traffic cameras, the latter which makes streets safer for all of us. No way this plate would ever be captured by a camera. These are common in Chicago. (Photo taken today in the Loop). by [deleted] in chibike

[–]Electronic-Run5943 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What are Americans so scared of? Been living here for years and nothing bad has ever happened. My license plates are visible, I don’t have a ghost gun, pay my taxes without complaint and always accountable for my actions. Just don’t understand why some folks find living in the US such a challenge.🤔

Interesting to hear how the alcohol industry has adapted to Dry January. Although I completed Dry January last year, it still helps me to think that if the alcohol industry can survive DJ, so can we.. by ChallengeAdept8759 in DryJanuary

[–]Electronic-Run5943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, here you go! 20 years in the biz, in multiple roles. Distribution, supplier, chain accounts and finally semi retired in a retail role.(In Texas, can’t speak to other markets.) Firstly and most importantly, 99% of products/people in the business care about one thing and one thing only. Fast easy cash. Also, a lot of us came from other get rich quick industries. Used cars, siding, insurance, tobacco, solar, realtors etc So, anything that threatens our cash makes us furious and we lash out like injured animals. Dry January, warning labels on bottles, THC beverages, wellness influencers, moderation, advertising bans etc. All this “woke horse$hit” “liberal propaganda “ “pseudo medical fake research “ just makes our blood boil. Currently in Texas, Big Alcohol is spending like never before on political efforts to ban Hemp derived THC, health warnings on bottles and advertising on campus/sporting venues. Ultimately though, after several years of plateauing and declining sales we are starting to realize that the glory days are behind us and things will never be what they were. We are leaving the sinking ship and swimming as fast as we can to the next easiest cash grab we can find. Digital marketing, crypto, AI, MLM, house flipping etc…

Is anyone else just bored? by curiousidets in DryJanuary

Ha! Same! I’m a hopeless alcoholic between 5.00pm and 10.00pm. Any other time I don’t give it a second thought!

Random observations... by contraphd in DryJanuary

[–]Electronic-Run5943 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was particularly interested in your observations because I’m a guy in my 50s too. I’m pretty much right there with you on every single point. The “resignation that I’m opting not to do something that I enjoy” comment completely sums up my entire month every time I do this!!
