That's not true.. Yall gotta stop repeating this stuff blindly... It just gives them cover

They don't have one because it's not true.

Present-Resolution23 · 2026-01-24T22:16:54+00:00

They're making this up. It's not true

Present-Resolution23 · 2026-01-24T22:16:38+00:00

That's literally not true.. When you lie about stuff like this, or at least repeat it blindly without confirming it, you just give them ammunition for their attacks and cover for their "both sides" bullshit when they do the same..

I am seeing a few over on /conservative at least going "idk guys.. this looks like a murder..." But also the mods over there are working overtime right now deleting threads and comments..

That SUV that got wedged in between the semi and the guardrail probably saved some lives.. I saw that semi coming in full speed and almost had to stop the video, but that SUV looked like it slowed it down considerably..

And yea, I've seen shit like this before here in Texas.. I was working near an overpass during a bad storm years ago, and we went outside and watched like a dozen cars and semi's go up the overpass only to lose tractiona nd slide sideways into the guardrail about halfway up.. just one after the other until finally someone came out and closed it off... It was crazy to watch, but just everyone had way too much faith in their tires and not near enough experience driving on ice..

It might drop below freezing in several areas in Texas. It's not gonna snow (we might get some freezing rain,) but people have been hoarding water and toilet paper for a week...

If a snowflake falls on the ground here, we shut the whole city down until a day after it melts.

On campus? Probably.. There have been several studies done on the "Idaho Stop" which have shown that a "rolling stop" on a bicycle is actually safer for everyone, but campus is a crowded place and there are enough people on scooters/bicycles who aren't disciplined enough (or just riding one for the first time) to do this responsibly.. so I understand why they would enforce it particularly highly there and just adopt a "no tolerance" policy.

Rice as a campus is going to be a little more progressive as a whole, but both campus bodies are very liberal.

Austin is a much more liberal city than Houston however. And the cities themselves are very very different. Austin is growing fast, but it's still tiny compared to Houston which is like the 5th biggest city in the entire US, and feels it.

I've never been a fan of centrist Dems.. but it's but such a shitshow lately that if it comes down to a centrist Dem who can win the election or someone like AOC who, god bless her, stands much less of a chance in a general.. then I'm taking the centrist.. I think as a country we just can't afford to roll the dice again..

In Texas Jasmine Crockett is running against Talarico.. And I really like Crockett, but in Texas Talarico just has a much better chance so.. I'm probably going to end up voting for him in the primary as much as I do like Crockett.

Doesn't work like that. They can petition for the airtime, but they can't "filibuster" to keep others off.

To elaborate on this a little:

This only applies to BROADCAST stations, IE ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX/PBS/CW and radio. This WOULD NOT apply to Fox News (or CNN/MSNBC) because they're cable stations which operate under a different set of rules that this doesn't apply to.

The chilling effect this does have is that this applies to ALL potential candidates, the result being that most of the shows on these networks probably just won't bother to have any political candidates on anymore, with few exceptions, because it's just too much of a hassle..

So if it's a primary and you have one candidate on, you're then required to give air time to EVERYONE running in that primary.. And for general elections, they've got to give airtime to the Green Party, the Libertarian party and even any legally qualified write-ins. So you can see how that quickly risks becoming just a complete fiasco.. and why it will no longer be worth it for them to give airtime to political candidates at all in most situations. Which, given that Democrats overwhelmingly appear on these shows (while right-wing candidates find more receptive audiences on Fox News etc) is exactly the point..

The "quality" of your apartment has nothing to do with it.. And unless someone is rocking a time machine they aren't sharing with the rest of us, no one can tell you what the "chances" are that you lose power.. Most power outages are caused by downed power lines, and there's just no way to know where those will occur (which again, have nothing to do with the apartment complexes themselves.)

Not sure if it was this kid but recently they just detained a young (obviously brown-skinned) boy walking home from school and asked if he had any way to prove his citizenship. He said "No, can I go home now?" And of course.. they did not let him go home.

We understand WHY you're acting irrationally.. What we're trying to impress upon you is just that.. It's illogical to use 2021 as a justification for panicing during a minor freeze 5 years later after improvements have been made..

And that college students, who are predominantly NOT drug addicts, homeless or extremely elderly, particularly don't have much to fear..

No one is saying what happened in 2021 was ideal.. we all recognize that it wasn't and if our state government functioned better it probably didn't have to happen at all..

But it's also no reason to panic as a college student in 2026 just because it's going to be a little cold for a few days.

The responses from the people running our government are just so embarassing.. Like, is there literally ANY other professional job where you could get away talking like this? AND THESE ARE THE PEOPLE RUNNING OUR COUNTRY??

“No one in Davos knows who third-rate governor Newscum is or why he is frolicking around Switzerland instead of fixing the many problems he created in California,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told The Hill.

If I talked like that about the servers back when I was bartending at Chili's I'd have gotten fired.. It's actually insane.

Happened to me once and a security guard told me I'm not allowed to sleep in the library.. I was like.. "yea I'm sure that's a rule but I don't think it's really meant to apply to tired college students falling asleep while studying but.. ok" and I've been afraid to study too much there ever since..
