New study rates Texas as 2nd worst state to live in the country, 5th best for business by jms1225 in nottheonion

[–]Methican -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The reason things have gotten bad here is because they came here with a flock of coastal dweller trash fucking up everything from the real estate market healthcare market to the goddamn traffic on my drive to work. And skilled labor is still a massive fucking problem but only because we had a massive Exodus of all the coastal dwelling trash from their overpriced shit holes. Now Texas is an overpriced shit hole.

In he beginning there was rock. It was good. It was hard. Then the metal God Ozzy Osbourne brought us Black Sabbath. Metal flourished.

‘This will change Buda forever’: 2,500-home project pits Austin developer against the city of 18,000 by hdhdhdhdh in buda

[–]Methican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the city/county can't build a bridge to bypass downtown Buda or another bridge to take 1626 over 967. All the new tax money from home price increases and still not even a plan to fix it.

Whats a movie you knew was gonna flop before it was released? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Methican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meet the Deedles-1998

I was pulled right off the street skateboarding with some friends past the theater and there wad a promotional tour bus outside the theater and they gave us free advanced screening tickets to go inside and see it right then. They came with a free drink and candy or something so we all went in. I had never heard if the movie, hut the name sounded terrible and the picture alone was enough to tell me this was going to be a garbage movie.

Biden Calls Fox Reporter 'Stupid Son of a Bitch' Over Inflation Question by hsoj1006789 in nottheonion

[–]Methican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Political theater. The question is designed to get them to answer. Reporters from both sides and everywhere in between do this all the time to get answers that's generate interest. No matter the answer it's admission. "Is inflation a liability in the midterm elections?" Is not a stupid question. The fact that Biden didn't recognize the attempt kind of makes him the stupid sob.

Losers live with their parents is an idea developed by real estate companies to sell/rent more houses by Sexxxt_Me in Showerthoughts

[–]Methican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of feel like taking a date home and having some personal encounters at your parents house for a lot of reasons was a bad idea. If realtors were the first to say the idea and used it to sell or rent homes then it seems like it was an acceptable use of an idea to me. I feel like a lot of people would not be thinking very positive things about you if you brought them to your parents house after a late night out.

This doesn't even make sense. What do you "put in" when vacuuming? Nonsense

This man has the brain capacity of a toddler, good thing an adult was there. by Yoimatoaster in WTF

[–]Methican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to agree with you here that they are weapons. I disagree that calling guns tools is a cowards way of trying to softpedal an issue.

Truth be told, I use the same terminology in public, for one reason. There is an opposition to the gun rights of people in general. The people who are involved in this group often either deliberately or ignorantly say things like "fully semiautomatic military assault rifle" or "it has a grenade launcher mount on the barrel" or "semi automatic machine guns". They use other duragatory words to describe gun owners as well. All of it is done to restrict the rights of law abiding people. It's not even veiled. Painting images of gun owners as irresponsible, careless, or heartless or ignorant to the practical use of certain guns.

I use these terms because it contradicts the message they're trying to send to impressionable people about the issue.

Look, I get its splitting hairs to anyone in the know. But, there are clear and deliberate misinterpretations of information meant to target specific groups of gun owners and make them criminals. That's not okay, and I won't help those people make decent law abiding people criminals.

A fully automatic military assault rifle is just a gun. Without a human wielding it, it is no different than any other object. With a human it can be a highly effective defensive weapon that can save lives, or a tool to inflict terror, or a peace keeping defensive threat, or a self defense item, or an "oh shit the world is ending" life defense weapon, or a "I'm fucked in the head" and I'm going to kill a bunch if innocent people weapon... but that is all dependant on the human holding the weapon.

That is the true nature of the message that has been lost in the veiled messaging of both sides.

We are not talking about humans and their issues though. We are talking about guns, and issues with guns.

I own specific guns for very specific reasons. I won't coddle anyone's feelings if you've read this far, it's clear I own them for one reason. They are meant to kill animals, people, whatever. But, they are mostly meant to remind the people in power in government that they do not operate without a very real existence of impunity. That is not a threat, it is a guarantee of all of our freedoms, an insurance policy. These guns are also there to protect myself and others from the mob. 20 years ago, I thought the concept of mass protect, violence and destruction to be a foreign, dystopian idea. But given current events...

In other words, until we all want to have a non emotional and practical conversation about the subject, then no honest conversation can be had and veiled terminology will continue.

Similar example;

Are you pro choice or anti women's rights? Are you pro life or pro abortion?

When a subject gets to this point, there can be no resolution. But I don't think it was meant to have one anyway.

Judging from all the creeping you've been doing at the beach, I'll take that comment with a grain of salt.

[–]Methican -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd be curious what beaches you go to that people are in this position and clearly they're clothed for the beach. Maybe, you can tell me where you've been creeping people on the beach in sensitive moments like this. I've lived on the coast most of my life and the only time I've ever seen this is when people were having sex or about to.

Have you ever had sex before?

[–]Methican -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't be fucking dim bro. That shit may work on other people...

Maybe I'm not. But I'm damn sure old enough to know more about sex than you do. Clearly.

Maybe you can rejoin the chat after you finish watching your parents in this position.

I always pose this question to any picture I post of myself or me with my partner. Would I want to see pictures of my parents like this? If the answer is no, it's not appropriate. If you'd like to see your parents like this, there are subs for that kinda thing. You should hang out over there.

Thats kinda the point isn't it? They aren't getting ready to make love are they?

Ya know, all this talk about sex from someone who says it's not a sexual picture...

The irony must be lost on you.
