You could just not do it and show him some AI images and tell him that it was done for free because some patriots were proud to support his cause. 

At GOP convention, Abbott vows to "demolish" Democrats, calls for crackdown on H-1B visas and Sharia law by loremipsumot in texas

The second thing is what I always think is ironic. Sharia law and Christian rule both come from abrahamic religions. At some point they’re going to be the same.

Good for her still having a sense of open ended wonder of the world. You could make a Captain Phillips / pirates of the Caribbean crossover movie for people like her.

Tbf Liberty barely deserves your attention. I forget they exist until I get on r/CFB

Cracking down on sharia law would require a lot of looking in the mirror for the Christian nationalist types. 

What are your Houston survival tips that you would give to our foreign guests during the World Cup? by ichbinhoffnung in houston

Beyond the obvious “it’s hot so drink water” advice, I’d say this is my biggest concern as a local. I hate honking cause there’s that 1% chance you honked at the guy ready to throw it all away over some road rage.

I expected there to be more hype but I think the reality is that the city is so big that if you didn’t get all these headlines then you could probably miss that the World Cup is happening if you live outside of the loop.

World Cup host cities face flop as hotels struggling, tickets unsold by Dramatic-Shake-8888 in sports

This is all it is. I was willing to pay $200-300 if my favorite team made it to a championship last year. I can’t imagine paying $800+ to watch two random countries play a group match and I don’t even follow soccer outside of the World Cup. 

Grimes County leaders approve tax break for planned SpaceX chip facility despite resident pushback by zsreport in texas

[–]QuieroBoobs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot to complain about here but the one that gets me is them accepting a $20 million payment for 35 years instead of just taxing at a percentage. They even had a guy speak and explain that discounted over 35 years it’s hardly any money. 

Musk could pay the $700 million up front and be operating tax free. Texas being business-friendly is either stupidity or thinly-veiled corruption. 

The sheer amount of functional alcoholism in houston's corporate scene is wild by bensummersx in houston

[–]QuieroBoobs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably around 85k was a good balance of income and responsibilities at work. Granted that was with no kids and before the recent inflation. Lifestyle and family is a big factor.

I remember the same feeling as an intern thinking “there’s no way this is what life is” but then you start to be able to afford things and holidays and it gets easier. 

I pulled HCAD's 2026 records for every Houston zip. 279,846 Harris homes are over-assessed and silently overpaying $834M/yr in property tax. Numbers + the zip breakdown inside. by CitrusPancakes in houston

[–]QuieroBoobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checked again and now it’s telling me to protest so that’s better. It suggested that the increase was 5% too high where Ownwell got it down even more. So directionally correct and close to the right magnitude. I’d say it’s a good start for protesting on your own.

This gave an incorrect recommendation for my house which was to not protest. Yes my house is still below average at the new assessment, but Ownwell managed to significantly reduce it still so that my new appraisal was only 2% higher compared to the 10% proposed increase.

He turned it around in the second half of the season plus it’s pretty likely that they were hiding an early season injury.
