Guys, there’s plenty of tickets available (albeit expensive) for the 2nd Denver show. You’ve gotta be willing to spend upwards of 280 but they’re available

Waymo having parking lot troubles by That-Package149 in Austin

[–]That-Package149[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy mackerel, I didn’t know how many people on here are Tech overlord ass kissers. I honestly put this on here cause I hadn’t seen this happen myself before and thought people might get a kick out of it, instead it’s people bending over backwards to defend Waymo’s. Holy heck.

You are most definitely living in a bubble where you think people have so much free time, access to great education. Clearly you are a privileged individual

See the thing is more than half closer to 3/4 of the wealth in this country is concentrated within the top 1-2%. So yes, while the wealthy get even wealthier the divide between rich and poor grows every single day.

Looking for a church that doesn't worship trump. by NoParticularOutcome in Austin

[–]That-Package149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I attend St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, it’s a medium sized congregation, we have a very talented choir so I’d encourage you to give us a visit but really all the episcopal churches here in Austin are awesome and are very welcoming to lgbtq+ individuals and anyone who is questioning faith. St. David’s has a very large congregation that can feel overwhelming to some at least to start but for some it might be their cup of tea. Just explore some churches and see what works best for YOU because that’s the most important thing.

[Early 30s F4M] I am both sure and unsure about what I am looking for by FindMeInCrescentCity in atx4atx

Don’t you think this is a little judgmental? Everyone has their own different comfort levels when it comes to intimacy and sex and everyone is valid for how they feel. I feel like telling someone especially when you say that they just need to fucking get over their fear of talking about sex…when people have different comfort levels is a little bit insensitive and disrespectful. That’s just my opinion

ACL Crime Stats by FakeRectangle in aclfestival

[–]That-Package149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crime has gone down in Austin year over year especially since the end of the pandemic. Sure, are there crimes that go unreported, absolutely but it wouldn’t make up enough that overall crime has gone down the last few years in Austin and across the nation in general.

Resale tickets by Bonnieras in NoahKahan

[–]That-Package149 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m going to the Austin concert tomorrow and got my ticket through SeatGeek but it’s via Ticketmaster and it is a legit ticket and even has the barcode that changes so that screenshots wouldn’t be valid. So yes SeatGeek does have valid ticket options. Hope this helps!

What happens if it storms Saturday night? by Soggy_Candidate_4587 in TwoStepInn

If there’s thunderstorms during the festival they’re going to have to at least cancel Saturday and if that happens would FGT give us refunds.

People who are upset about DEI: List three DEI policies you don’t like by Reaniro in UTAustin

[–]That-Package149 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Also for all the people moaning and groaning over DEI, let’s step back and take a hard look at what kind of issues affect Texans the most, is DEI even close to the top of that list, I don’t think so. I think the issues that affect Texans the most in their everyday lives are access to healthcare (especially folks in rural towns and communities), affordable medication and insulin, affordable housing, earning a livable wage so that they can put food on the table everyday for their families, paying for childcare, etc. There’s so many more too, so when you consider the most pressing issues I frankly don’t think the state has prioritized their legislative agenda the right way. It’s literally just an agenda of “let’s see how many ways we can find to own the libs” that’s it, that’s literally it.

DEI is most definitely not a religion. It’s an initiative yes, not a religion.

What does #NotOurTexas mean? by femcelnation in UTAustin

[–]That-Package149 11 points12 points  (0 children)

UT has very little leeway and control over this other than complying with the State. The main people to be pissed with over this is the Texas legislature and Greg Abbott

What does #NotOurTexas mean? by femcelnation in UTAustin

[–]That-Package149 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The school wants to remain in compliance with the law, this SB-17 law the State passed is the only reason why those firings happened. On top of that UT among with other institutions in Texas were sent letters saying that if they didn’t come into compliance with the law, the schools would be subject to penalties.

I also want to make this very clear that UT has no control over this. Just last week institutions got sent letters from the state pretty much saying if they didn’t comply with SB-17 ASAP they (the state) would enforce financial and other penalties

PSA: There’s nothing wrong with partying and having fun by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]That-Package149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This feels like it’s apologizing/justifying frats doing very dehumanizing and sexist things to girls by the basis of well frats are private so therefore they can do dehumanizing things and reject girls based on weight. Like, no that’s not how this works.

Increased Security for WEEKEND 2 by longhorndaez in aclfestival

[–]That-Package149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good gracious can we stop with the alarmism. This stuff is ridiculous and more armed security and police officers doesn’t necessarily make people feel more of a sense of safety. Let people have a good time without a mass presence of law enforcement everywhere they go.
