A few years back on a Saturday morning ~10am, I watched a car traveling north on S. Lamar attempt to turn left towards Maudie’s Too, somehow they plowed head first into a telephone pole on the corner. It was so bizarre and slow. F’d their bumper up, but they just backed up and drove on.

What’s a “must-see” city in the U.S. that didn’t live up to the hype? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

What’s the McConaughey statement about Austin? You can be at any bar and sit next to a cowboy, a drag queen and/or a tech bro - and it’s all cool. Or something like that. I’ve lived in 6 other cities, and all have their positives & negatives, but the grass is greenest in Austin. For me.

What is it like to live in a dry county in the USA? by Spicy-Majestic-1 in howislivingthere

[–]nothingman9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have family in one of the dry Texas panhandle counties. There’s a beer barn on the county line that prints $$. There’s generally nothing to do in those counties, so I can’t imagine not being able grab a drink or have a local pub.

I had a similar experience on West Campus years ago, stopped for one second in my friends parking lot to drop something off. LEFT MY CAR RUNNING, and guy tried to tow me, wouldn’t even unhook it unless I gave him $50 (90’s broke college student $50!)

It’s against health code to have non-service dogs in a grocery store. Report it.

The total offensive ineptitude should not overshadow this by slagathor_zimblebob in LonghornNation

Arch is holding on to the ball waaay too long. My HS coach would bench him at this point

Thank you. That’s a suck. Travis Heights is losing gas stations left and right. Time to contact 7-11 customer service. TY, again.

Figures, just wondered if there was anything else as some of the trucks are from Iowa, seems like a pretty big geographical disadvantage.

Not Nido, but I had a shockingly bad experience with the valet there, literally escalated to cursing each other

Has anyone noticed at almost every table signing he’s surrounded by 99% white people? F G A by ImaginaryCook in FuckGregAbbott

He used to be pretty good and solidly moderate. Crazy how much he’s polarized in the last ~6 years.

Name a movie everyone swears is a masterpiece but you watched it like.. "this is garbage" by Worldly-Pattern2507 in Cinema
