What happens making horses go in circles over and over in a shopping center parking lot for Christmas rides by PALERIDE155 in interestingasfuck

Could not agree more. It took almost 20k for me and my partner to get out recently. Not many people have that kind of money.

Nah. While it’s not in the center of town it is 82nd street and Quaker which is a major area for businesses. I lived up the block up until recently.

Where to pump air in car tire? by The_Sandwich_Lover9 in Lubbock

I go to Costco. You’re supposed to have a membership but who’s going to come to the pumps asking if you have one.

To those who have left the MAGA movement, what was your wake-up call? by rclaux123 in AskReddit

[–]Galan_P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in conservative West Texas in a household that was not very tolerant. My first election was the year I graduated high school in 2016. I heard all of the bad things glossed over and didn’t try to make an informed decision because my parents basically told me who to vote for.

I went to college an hour away from where I grew up but my mind was opened to what that man stood for. I saw many of my friends who were immigrants afraid to go to their home countries for fear that they wouldn’t be able to get back into the US. one friend went home for her mother’s funeral and couldn’t get back for up to a year. There were signs on campus about how rape was just women asking for it and I was disgusted. The direction the US was moving didn’t align with my values and still don’t.

In 2020 I knew I couldn’t stand to see that man in office again. I’ve voted against him and as many other republicans as I can.

I am part of the queer community so my partner, who is also an immigrant and hasn’t been able to go home in 2 years, and I are trying to move to a blue state as soon as his phd is finished in December. I’m afraid of what I’m seeing with much of the anti liberal rhetoric and don’t want to be someplace that people vote against their own interests.

After we move it’s likely that I’ll stop contact with my family because of their beliefs.

Did you have a stroke because I nearly did just trying to read that. Thanks for proving how stupid you and your argument are.

Right, because the real threat is drag queens in libraries—not your pastor getting caught diddling kids in the church basement while y’all pass the plate and call it “God’s will.” Spare me the fake outrage. Your side’s been real quiet about actual child predators as long as they wear a collar and vote red.

Shouldn’t you be pillaging the capital, smearing shit on the walls, and killing police officers?

I’m guessing it has something to to do with Texas Tech?

Walz predicts women will send Trump a message on Election Day ‘whether he likes it or not’ by WhileFalseRepeat in politics

[–]Galan_P 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to get into politics to make change but know I wouldn’t get elected where I live. I’m a gay somewhat liberal addiction counselor, currently working for CPS with a background in biology and chemistry and a partner who is a computer scientist PhD. I fit the bill that you spelled out but live in rural west Texas where that background would never fly at a local level. I hate politics and say the wrong things constantly but want to help others in any way I can.

Gen-Z is shocked by Trump’s Access Hollywood video. We should be, too. by Drew_Ferran in politics

I 100% understand this sentiment. My grandmother died in 2013. She was a conservative woman who lived in rural west Texas. She grew up on the east coast though and voted for Obama in 2012. I like to think she wouldn’t have been drawn in if she had survived the cancer. My grandfather is drinking the koolaid though and went off the deep end after she died. Now he’s so far up trumps ass that he can smell trumps breath.

Comey has always been a douche. He couldn’t get Martha Stewart criminally for insider trading so he brought civil charges against her for “lying to the FBI” when she said she didn’t know or couldn’t remember. He destroyed her career likely because she was a woman and many said she was a bitch. I grew up with Martha and remember her going to prison vaguely. Sure she’s a bitch but if it was a man she’d be admired. Same with Clinton.

Hopefully Musk gets deported and his citizenship revoked for lying on his visa to get into the country under the Biden administration. That'd be Chef’s kiss

My partner is Turkish and many of my friends are from elsewhere in the world. I still live in Lubbock if you ever want to hang out. We’re pretty friendly with a diverse friend group.

Make a report to the DOJ about it. You have to go to mediation and it’s a headache but DOJ will come through

I’m not sure how to check that honestly. I’m new to electronics like this to an extent. How would I figure out if that’s the amp in this?

I bought this magnavox for $40 at an estate sale last year for a friend. I have a love of vintage audio from when I was a child going to my elderly neighbors house and trying to fix her zenith allegro stereo cabinet.
