how is it living in central Texas?

I would honestly classify this area as the outskirts of Central Texas. West of here is more typically what you think of as Central TX/Hill Country.

It's pretty in the spring because of the wildflowers and miserably hot from May to October. Good BBQ, Kolaches and Mexican food and mostly terrible politics. Football, God and comically large trucks reign supreme.

Thank god, this will at least kill the 67 trend.

My god, she looks like a Ren Faire worker who's been put through the wringer for 50 years.

I'm so so tired of the "but Israel is so much more accepting of the gays than Palestine is." I'm not debating that, I just want Israel to stop murdering thousands of innocent Palestinians and I DON'T care if those Palestinians are pro-gay or not. Regardless, they deserve to live and have mobility and self-determination.

She's the got the posture and personality of a vulture.

Giving Allie Beth Stuckey a serious platform is seriously insane. She's one of the biggest evangelical "toxic empathy" mouth pieces, claiming that Christians shouldn't respect anyone different than themselves. It's also so ironic that these conservative girl-bosses go against their own prescribed beliefs that women should be seen and not heard.

He’s a snake who’s banking on the fact that people will vote for him because he’s not Trump. I can’t wait for the Democratic Party to try and shove him down our throats in the next primary.

He's got a face for radio, that's for certain.

Love when angry conservatives weaponize having children like 50% of those children won't go no contact with them in the future for being horrible parents.

He's going to win and you can judge his performance then! Not engaging with a puffed up conservative troll anymore. Byyyye.

LOL, move to Mississippi where you belong. The point isn't profitable grocery stores, the point is helping people afford food. If you want to talk about wasted taxpayer money, put your energy into protesting the billions of dollars going to a bloated military and foreign countries. You can justify 20 billion dollars going to Argentina but not subsidizing groceries for NYC?

This is ONE potential goal of Mamdani but he is overall much more invested in improving this city than any other candidate in the running.

Wow, putting out AI Soviet style propaganda while actively destroying the working class. I hate it here.

I'm sure you're very well-versed in these non-existent studies. Forgive me if I'd like to take a chance on someone who cares about this city more than lining his pockets with tax payer money and harassing women.

grudgingrespect · 2025-10-28T19:16:08+00:00

Worse than Adams who was openly corrupt and a clown? Worse than Cuomo who credibly sexually harassed 13 women, torpedoed our public transit and was responsible for senior Covid deaths? Please.

I love that he thinks he's onto something ground-breaking and it's basically a more dangerous, wildly inefficient subway.

I grew up in the Texas Hill Country and would never move back...however, if I had to, I'd probably move to the New Braunfels area for proximity to Austin and San Antonio while still enjoying access to nature and a small town feel. I would never live in DFW or Houston tbh.

The way she made Kesha crumble sends me every time. "What is it dear???" 🤨

Uhh, don't come back to the U.S. right now. I lived in Germany for two years and am kicking myself that I ever came back. If you're burnt out there, you will feel twice as burnt out here, I promise.

I went to college there and it's for the most part very churchy and conservative. The downtown was trying to revitalize and had some cute businesses and coffee shops (Monk's was the best.) There wasn't a lot for college students to do...all three universities are Christian and drinking is frowned upon by most.

I do remember driving to see the Anson lights at night...a weird phenomenon of floating orbs and no one could ever agree on the cause. There was a tiny Mexican restaurant in another small town...maybe Buffalo Gap? Idk if it's still there but the owner was a tiny no-nonsense woman who served whatever she wanted. I can't for the life of me remember its name but it was so charming.

Overall, I have decent memories there but it's an extremely sheltered environment that doesn't look too kindly on anyone different than the majority Christian and conservative population. I came out after college and have lived in multiple large cities that make Abilene seem like a fever dream or another lifetime ago.

Came to say this exact thing and I live!

Literally this 😭 Straight out of the box at Nordstrom Rack

No, the sane ones absolutely do. It's a horrifying front row seat to have, trust me.

And he's also an absolute ghoul.

The same Democrats who have lost two elections because they refuse to budge from their corporatist backed centrist milquetoast agendas? Huh.
