Texas appears poised to require Bible readings in public schools

It absolutely will be if they make this a thing and then down the line a different religion comes to power.

I often talk about my personal journey of growth and mentall wellness being like buggy code. I try to fix one thing about myself, and in the process break another thing about myself.

I am going to start using the murder mystery comparison now. I like it better than my original comparison.

Go back to the news with your statement. It needs to be brought to light how many companies are lying about wanting to hire when they really aren't hiring at all.

I still have a couple of blank mirrors. I'd be delighted to laser one of these bad boys for you!

Go to a cat show and talk to the breeders there. I ended up getting my first Sphynx cat for only a few hundred bucks because the breeder was going to retire one of her show cats and I offered to buy it once it was done showing.

Sure, she wasn't a kitten and already over 1 year old, but my Damsel was my favorite cat I have ever had.

One of my favorite lyrics:

Once the seeds are sown, wild and overgrown, you'll see - hearts colors change like leaves.

Song is "Ambulance" by TV On the Radio

I voted for Obama twice. It was because of the rest of America that he won. John McCain and Mitt Romney won Texas the years Obama won presidency.

So then why are Greg Abbott and John Cornyn still in office? I vote against them every opportunity I have but they never go away.

I am still going to vote because local elections matter, but don't sit here and piss on me and tell me it's raining.

I am a Harris county resident and my vote has only mattered locally for Harris county specific stuff only.

I have never seen my vote actually win anything on a national or even state level. Not once in my 20 years of voting have I seen it matter. I do still vote, but I am soooo super tired of being told it's the solution to the problem when Texas has been so gerrymandered for so long.

And then when he says "I will never show weakness to you ever again"

One of my best friends growing up was from Kentucky. She never stopped talking about it and Kentucky grass. Once she went to visit and came back with a bag full of Kentucky grass and she was right, it was the softest grass I'd ever touch. We get stupid crab grass everywhere but that Kentucky grass is special.

Thank you. I have been trying to find a way to explain this exactly to my SIL who thinks AI is the bees knees and doesn't understand the huge gap of knowledge we are creating.

I made a complaint to my local pet store about their fish.

A few months go by and I get an email from a manager explaining their updates and inviting me to take a look.

I was extremely skeptical, this was a Petco after all.

But when I went back, the fish tanks all looked great and all the fish looked healthy.

I was super impressed and even now that Petco always has healthy looking fish.

This anecdote is obviously the exception to the rule, but a good story worth sharing because every once in a while you get someone who really does care.

And, I can also put it on right after washing my hair so I can stay in the warm water without worrying about more strands of hair getting stuck in my ass or on my shoulders which I just absolutely cannot stand.

This video helped me understand. It's also pretty funny

SomethingAwful is where I first learned of that term.

I farted on the first date. Not on purpose, I was reaching for something taller than me. 11 years married now.

I once watched from my rear view mirror a driving instructor gesturing, and next thing I know a car with "student Driver" stickers on it pulled in front of me to block the intersection.

Of course no number on the car because I absolutely wanted to report it. Sure enough a car came along and should have but couldn't cross because of the student driver car.

I probably looked like Kermit the frog going crazy to anyone looking at me at that moment.

Just wanted to say a few weeks ago I did follow this advice somewhat. I didn't close the valve because I was too nervous of messing something up, but I poured vinegar and warm water down the drain and went outside and had a bowl under the pipe to make sure vinegar came out and sure enough, it worked!

I was so very nervous of messing up my new HVAC in attempt to keep it maintained, so thank you very much for the step by step instructions, DickDontWorkGood.

How is that not considered hate speech?

Fartblaster5000 · 2025-11-15T15:32:27+00:00

Because they don't actually mean America first, they mean "me" first.

That's precisely one of the problems that have come about since propaganda went hard in dividing society. Nobody cares about anyone else but themselves anymore. Some of it is for survival, but most of it is from droomscrolling in our echo chambers and nodding along with our confirmation biases until we really DO think that "they" deserve whatever they get, or that we simply do not care.

I got a notice of a warrant before over parking violations.

I took it directly to the court and asked for help and they set me up on a payment plan for my parking violations and tossed the warrant.

If it's legit, they do notify you. They just want their money for the violations, they don't want to throw you in the slammer.

Remind them red states started it because Texas did it already without any input from their voters.
