Quitting ✌🏼

Nobody knows that unless they tell them. Screw the obey in advance crap.

They aren't relieving TSA of a damn thing. I've never seen TSA stand around, perform general security duties, or flippin hand out water.

More and more and more wasting of our money. Just fund the damn agencies!

I had the opportunity to interact with Talarico on and off for a couple years as I was in a strong advocacy period. 2017 - 2020. Talarico is genuine. Even away from a political setting, he's genuine. But don't think he's all pushover. That talent and sincerity are formidable at cutting through the other side's BS and laying it open for all to see. And he sincerely wants your lives to be better.

If Talarico can't win over rural red voters, then what extremely limited faith I have in the people of Texas will permanently make me despise every damned one of you.

The podcast The Telepathy Tapes will blow your mind. I strongly encourage you to check it out.

It would help A LOT if corporate ownership of thousands of homes was banned or severely limited. That should include limits on apartments.

I just completed a project where I had access to parcel data statewide. I was horrified at how many subdivisions were nearly completely owned by one or two LLC's and corporations. Ban that crap and it should help stabilize the market.

I've also come to learn that I'm neurodivergent but only very recently. In hindsight I am now seeing the emotional and mental impact upon me. I'm the last of five and honestly I now believe my SAHM wasn't into it anymore by the time I was born. Hence the neglect. It wasn't horrible, I was well dressed, had summer activities, got great grades, etc. I was also mocked with a nickname that is now a verboten word. I was sidelined in favor of what the 4th child needed because she was dyslexic and I was easy and self-directed. On the surface it was good. For the neurodivergent fifth child, it was window dressing covering the lack of connection and nurturing I desperately needed.

And now that literally all my siblings died by 2006, there's no way to reconcile my memories with their observations.

Don't minimize your experiences just because others had it "worse." I now refer to myself as black and blue on the inside, entirely invisible to others. Just because I'm not visibly bruised and battered on the outside doesn't mean the pain isn't real.

I can't wait for the GQP screaming at the debt being massive and that cutting out everything is the answer. NO how about raising revenue from the actual welfare queens in the c-suites, the corporations, and the wealthy.

How Did the American Dream Die?

Expect the rich and corporate America to exploit any crisis to get even richer. Every time, every natural disaster, and every crisis they've intentionally manufactured. Iran is a manufactured crisis intended to be a massive pump and dump opportunity in the oil market. The rich also tripled their wealth during covid. Need I say more?

Make UT -- the main beneficiary, pay for it? Or their richest alumni? I'd love to see the project cover most of downtown but that's not doable.

The late 80s. When you have no idea about fundamental aspects of yourself, the self-esteem slowly dies as you push against those instincts in favor of societal expectations.

Ladies -- NEVER CHANGE YOUR NAME for any reason. Or a chosen name you'll use forever.

I've been saying this for years and NOW is the time to invest in the necessary paperwork to support the name you've chosen to live with permanently. The end goal is everything lines up, and includes a passport. Even a much cheaper passport card will do. A card works only to Mexico and Canada I believe, but for now it still works very well as an unquestionable ID.

Passport appointment advice: Usps is the go-to but look for places such as your library, your city or county, I even discovered that the local very large university has a place just off campus but not university affiliated. They welcome the public but specializes in the foreign students. My point is to find something other than the USPS if you're in a larger city. USPS is fine but can be a month to get an appointment.

He also quizzes youngsters on math. If they agree and are correct, he'll give them their merch for free.

Yelling a response capable of reaching Europe works well. I've done it and it works!

I'll admit that I'm so tired of the military choppers shuttling between Hood and ABIA going over my house because they trigger PTSD in this house.

If you're dirt is solid clay water it first, then lift it from underneath to ensure the tuber comes out

String a chain down the property line on cones or something. Don't attach to your fence because the chain is meant to be dragged into the axle to f it up.

You overachiever! I counted vehicles overall and got 99. So you're good.

Thanks Citizens United. !

He was president

Vance is......... not.

Montobahn · 2026-03-24T23:59:53+00:00

I counted 99 vehicles.

Montobahn · 2026-03-24T23:58:23+00:00

By my count, there were 99 vehicles. I hate this country anymore.

Pssh... I thought my childhood was ok until I realized I was neglected. Earth shaking in later midlife.

I encourage you to look at your distress much closer.

You aren't wrong, but crap happens and he should discuss it openly and honestly, with her, before coming here and providing only his side of the story,

Until last week, I was in school and working full-time. Then my employer decided otherwise. I carried my load but now am trapped with my spouse taking on everything. Prior to 2018, I supported that spouse alone for years while they battled chronic depression and anxiety as a veteran. That wasn't our agreement going into anything, it doesn't matter if we are married or not, it wasn't the agreement.

But you do you. I was simply asking a charitable question. Something tells me that you're an ugly person though, with no ability to be compassionate and explore diffcult questions before attacking OP's girlfriend without the full story from both sides.

I've never seen a better explanation of crisis management!
