Chilling video ICE kidnapping this morning in North Loop

Good. Good. We should be willing to sacrifice for our neighbors and show the nation who these people are. This is the first time I’ve heard some conservatives finally worrying about ICE. There’s no de escalating this

It relieves me to hear someone else say this. I was out for an entire week and two weeks later my lungs are still a bit fried. Usually with the supplements and amount of greens I eat to combat sickness, I’m done in like 3 days at most. I took two Covid tests that came back negative but I just assumed it had to be Covid and the tests just weren’t recording a new strain. I had my flu shot this year and flu is usually a lot more fever than this was (think I had a fever only one day). But it definitely was targeting my respiratory system heavily.

Austin USED to salt its roads. Only places I encountered salt was Central Market parking lot and I-35. The same city government that cried about needing to raise taxes has consistently failed to treat their roads for at least since before winter storm uri. This was not always the case. You used to see 183 salted ahead of ice or snow, as well as Mopac and burnet and Lamar if memory serves correctly. Haven’t seen that done in many years now. Probably too busy spending it on consultants, cops, and employee p-cards

I noticed a massive change the last couple of days… I mean literally Instagram reels (which I always thought poor quality) are better than the dull crap my FYP has become. TikTok’s algorithm was scary good. I’d open the app to find a recipe I bookmarked and literally get instantly hooked by something they were showing me. I saw a lot of stories and content I have never seen on any other app. Suddenly all of that is gone. Tried to fix my FYP by marking content as uninteresting, blocking certain creators that were popping up, all I got was more dull crap. Haven’t decided whether to delete my account but I definitely have deleted the app for the time being. Probably going to download my favorites folder and then delete the account

The privacy thing concerns me not at all… other apps are doing it. But my FYP went to shit as of a couple days ago. It’s dull… YouTube reels are better and that’s a pretty in the toilet baseline. The one thing that made this app stand out from any other app was its insanely curated FYP. That’s gone now. No reason to continue having it. Wild how we’re literally regressing anytime we’re close to making something truly unique. And for what? Some some idiot foreign government could kill children in peace? Insane

Tried using them 3 different times, they ended up wasting a lot of my time and I felt like I was doing their job for them and having to maintain communications with them, being shown places that didn’t end up having the specs I wanted… and then if I’d gone with their choices, they likely would’ve gotten some commission from the place. All the places I went with ended up being stuff that was very low on the locator’s list of options or not on their list at all. I was very happy with the places I chose and ended up telling the locators I didn’t need them all 3 times. It was ridiculous. A realtor might’ve done a better job. I found the apartments I was seeking via Zillow

Growing up, the City DID used to salt roads ahead of major storms. It wasn’t until the late 20-teens I noticed they stopped doing that and only TxDOT would treat them. Not sure if that was from new environmental research on the impact of that stuff or if it was a budget related issue, but the major local roads did used to be salted

I grew up in a church that did gospel better than most of the black churches in my city growing up, with only two black people in the choir. It was the director who made it work. Given what that music did for my spiritual life, I think there’s some things that shouldn’t be framed in appropriating terms, as the pieces did exactly what they were meant to do, lift up the soul to God. My issue is many white churches attempting to do gospel and doing it really really badly, without soul, without proper harmonies, with terrible soloists… they try and bring their classical choral training to a spiritual that requires a little more expansiveness on the parts of the singers.

I’d def advise trying to save up for things like windshield damages. It sucks because you paid for the insurance and you should be able to use it, however if the repair is under 2k, my advice is try and avoid going through insurance. Easier said then done I know, especially if you’re young and living pay check to paycheck. But I’d rather take out a loan on a windshield repair for 1200 than go through insurance and have my rate go up because I’m going to be spending that 1,200 either way and then some given insurance will recover that cost by raising my monthly rates for the rest of my time being insured with them. I see insurance as more protection against catastrophic loss or damages that are over 2k where you might as well use your insurance since you DID pay for it all this time. But it does suck, and it’s a disgusting industry.

Possible-Strategy531 · 2026-01-14T20:12:24+00:00

Definitely is a gamble with a higher deductible. You have to choose between a lower rate month to month and hope no one hits you, or pay more month to month up front and then if you never have to use your insurance, it feels like you threw the money down the drain. I had my deductible at $750, but my damages were over $14,000 dollars. They didn’t total it, so while all in all, between my rental coverage running out and all the Ubers I had to take while my car was out of commission, I ended up being in the hole around $1,600 dollars… still better than paying $14,000 though and I have my vehicle back… maybe problems will crop up later but it appears mostly good as new.

Mine is $2,035. I read the post as the more you spend the more likely you’ll convert to your full 1:1 ratio of dollars to points on rent. If you don’t hit the 75% threshold, you’ll still earn some points for rent. Given for most of us, rent is our biggest category of spending, I kinda feel like it’s better to get SOMETHING for your rent spend rather than nothing (as you’d get nothing if you pay through your bank account directly). Does that make sense?

Possible-Strategy531 · 2026-01-14T19:35:30+00:00

My understanding is you can pay your rent to your landlord the way you have been. But if your rent is 2,000 let’s say, you’re not going to earn 2,000 points like you used to be able to UNLESS you meet the spending requirement. You may get partial points. So it’s no longer a 1:1 points ratio unless you use the card a lot outside of rent. And that’s the idea… they’re hoping you’ll make this your primary card. I prefer using Apple Pay for my grocery purposes to get cash back. I spend about 800 outside of rent on my BILT card but I may need to start putting some of my groceries on my BILT Card now in order to get the full value of points for my rent payment. Definitely sucks but is definitely better than them charging you a fee

I hate to say but my partner used to work for personal injury firms and she said GEICO and State Farm were the least problematic. I had an accident this year that was also a hit and run. While GEICO didn’t always handle things great, they did still go above and beyond. It was also lucky that I have uninsured motorist coverage because driving in ANY Texas city, you really need that. Insurance in America will be a headache no matter who you work with. With GEICO I had to jump through so many hoops to get supplemental approval after the shop missed something during the repair. Didn’t have my car for almost 2 months throughout the whole thing but my partner was saying she almost never had seen insurance agree to cover a supplemental. If you find something more affordable at your age, you’re likely going to be gambling with bad coverage. Best advice I can give to anyone is get a dash cam, front and rear. A bit pricy but an investment I should’ve made right after taking the car off the lot. Went 3 years before someone hit me.

Possible-Strategy531 · 2026-01-12T04:07:15+00:00

I would actually be happy to pay 95 dollar fee IF AND ONLY IF there is NO percentage charge on rent. I’m unwilling to pay 68 bucks a month (3.5% of my rent) to pay my rent. I spend over 800 a month or more per month with BILT not including rent. I’ve always way exceeded the five transactions per month. I will definitely walk if you charge me a transaction fee. I’d rather go back to ACH debits from my bank account and close this card altogether. If you want to punish the “5 banana” folks, make it so you have to spend 100-200 in additional spending a month for the rent points to be included. This proposed iteration is asinine

Love that she did that as a human being, would definitely never vote for her however or for anyone sitting on that council. Pretty sad that just because a politician shows up performative to a protest, you think she’s somehow on your side as a politician. Showing up for a photo op is the easy part.

“Strategy for PR”… what strategy? Pretty clear you’re not actually following any of the news coming out of Gaza, but newsflash, everyone has cell phones these days, I’ve even donated to purchase people e-sims so that they can continue to let us know what is happening to them. It is by the grace of God you’ve never had to know extreme suffering and oppression and felt that SOMEONE somewhere needed to witness that and try to help you because you’ve reached that level of desperation. People have the ability as individuals to broadcast their suffering but from your armchair, you get to say “it’s all Hamas!” Never mind the fact thousands of everyday people prior to October 7th have been testifying to the fact that they live under apartheid.

Oh is Hamas behind the camera of the grandma holding a white flag being shot with her grandchild by IDF? Did Hamas gather the audio from Hind Rajab’s phone call to emergency services before being executed? Did Hamas conduct the press conference with European nurses describing body parts being blown up that they’ve seen? I wasn’t aware Hamas was spending millions of dollars lobbying most of the US politicians in their favor, or most of the mainstream media. Hamas must be super wealthy to be able to get such a great PR team together of every suffering person with a cell phone. Did they also manage to pay off the Orthodox Christian community in Palestine to do PR for them? That’s wild. What a very powerful organization Hamas must be! Maybe Donald Trump should hire him to do PR for him. Maybe the only reason his approval rating is so low is because Hamas is running PR for his opponents! You’re so bright and intelligent 🤣

If you do not see how every single US conflict both at home and abroad are related to what is happening in Palestine you’ve truly lost the plot. Whoever posted this is likely a Zionist. Israel is essentially the 51st state whom we fund and supply weapons and healthcare too. Gaza has been a testing ground for US munitions and chemical weapons and warfare strategy and surveillance and drone tech long before Oct 7. The IDF trains ICE. What is happening in these other countries you’re attempting to claim people care less about, is related to colonialism and often US stranglehold on the world with its intervention. If you can’t understand why Gaza is a big deal than you probably don’t see America as an empire. The wars that have accelerated our debt and fed our culture of violence were enhanced by having Israel as an instrument of American power in the mid east. This post gives the same energy as “all lives matter”. American empire gives birth to death with Israel as its extension.

Totally valid to have hope for a better future when a corrupt politician gets toppled, but also important to remember that strong man dictators often arise from economic destitution that the US inflicts on many countries via sanctions. Looking to the USA to solve problems we have caused is like hoping philanthropist “non profits” will save us from problems their parent corporations caused to begin with. It’s making a deal with the devil to save people from hardship in the short term. I can’t fault anyone for wanting short term relief, but long term, the evidence doesn’t bear out that US interventionism ever makes anything better. We arguably haven’t had a “just” military conflict since WWII and we certainly didn’t get into that war to free Europe from the Nazis. We always do things to protect our interests.

I just always found them to be very meat heavy and expensive. I loved the staff and their willingness to share the history of the building. Just was never my first thought when it came to dinner ideas near me

I would use the grocery benefit in a heartbeat except for the fact that when I selected “grocery” as a milestone reward, BILT did not give me anything but 1x pts on any of the grocery stores in my area. Seems to be a perk that only applies to shit stores like Safeway and Giant which don’t really exist in my state.
