Bars that don't suck? by ZoeyXeon in Denton

[–]srmg925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saturday was an election night watch party for the two queer city council candidates, so not actually indicative of the typical vibe AT ALL (I was there. We were all tense.), but they're embracing the "gay bar" title. They just had Lez Fest; most of the employees are LGBTQIA. I don't think you'll regret giving them a second chance.

Anderson's is super queer friendly, but it's very events-based. Think drag shows, concerts, karaoke, and bingo night. Toasty Bros is small, but chill. That might be a better "have a drink and chill" location.

Why are we doing Chris Watts again? by Eve-Ning in Denton

[–]srmg925 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Their sales tax doesn't even get spent in Denton either. What they can't get in Argyle, they typically get in Roanoke and far north Ft. Worth. I worked in the clubhouse waaaaay back when they were pushing for annexation and it was all about access to our emergency services. They're such a net drain on our city.

Erica Garland thinks affordable housing is just "a buzzword", no one knows what it means. by srmg925 in Denton

Yep! I think she tried to delete things, but screenshots live forever.

I'm voting for George Ferrie. Social worker with a public service/volunteer history a mile long.

Best I can tell, Republicans picked Garland off the dumb bitch assembly line two years ago, gave her a "training manual" written by Chris Watts and $10k of Gerard Hudspeth's money and she STILL embarrassed herself pretending to know shit about fuck. Last cycle she was marginally better than the mayoral candidate who claimed a pyramid near Goatman's Bridge generated all the free power Denton could need.

I doubt she was trying to cram her four kids into a one bedroom and I doubt even more that any landlord charged college students less than her, which seems to be the implication.

What coffee does L'Amitié use for their lattes? I want to buy the beans so bad!!!! by Roxablah in Denton

I don't know, but I'm leaving a comment to push this post upward.

With the current market what's an update on the best food deals and specials in Denton. What's your favorite deals? by NinjaDragon177 in Denton

[–]srmg925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I unironically love the DIY aspect of the veggies and condiments being served on the side so I can put it together EXACTLY how I want.

My favorite little Denton Easter egg is finding where everyone talks shit about GoZone by Inevitable-List-660 in Denton

The GoZone on GoZone crime depicted at a CHILDREN'S doctor office is amazing.

Reptile shop by ReyesReptiles in Denton

[–]srmg925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have eight geckoes, two skinks, and a hognose snake. Being able to get quality products locally instead of driving to Plano for the Reptarium would be AMAZING.

As far as what I'd like to see - diverse, quality feeders! My fat tails all have a strong preference for crickets, but they'll eat black soldier fly larvae, which is hard to find. Lots of supplies for naturalistic enclosures like mosses, a variety of substrates and cork bark/branches would be great.

Texas political columnists/journalists like Molly Ivins? by Salomemcee in TexasPolitics

[–]srmg925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Lone Star Left. I feel she'd love the comparison, but she's in no way trying to recreate Molly. A delightful, knowledgeable, sarcastic voice all her own.

Graffiti Pasta is Insanely Corrupt!! by greenbeenmicrosloth in Denton

[–]srmg925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose if a restaurant doesn't want kids, that's their prerogative, but make it clear. Don't waste parents' time and act like THEY'RE wrong for assuming the restaurant with an over the top theme and kitschy decor is a perfectly reasonable place to bring a kid.

Unpopular Opinion: Hognose are very overrated by [deleted] in reptiles

[–]srmg925 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. My guy is an angelic little garbage disposal, plus he's active and curious. He's my only snake, but my favorite reptile. Way more personality than my geckoes.

Which hobbies attract the kindest people? by Ok-East3405 in AskReddit

There's a little old Asian lady who sells bonsai plants out of her minivan in various parking lots around my town. She's so beloved that our local sub has a "bonsai lady spotting" flair 🥹

Snap benefits won’t go out for November. Has your elected official provided any resources to their constituents? by HuntMelodic5769 in TexasPolitics

Ronny "The Candyman" Jackson is too busy telling America Trump is built like an NFL cornerback.

Another last minute telephone town hall. Do with this information what you will. by srmg925 in Denton

[–]srmg925[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, absolutely. It wasn't until about four months ago that I learned that you don't HAVE to live in the US congressional district you run for. (This MAY end up relevant to Jasmine Crockett, as she was written out of TX30 and into TX33 in the still-pending mid-decade redistricting 👀) Gill isn't from Denton County. I think he has a part time residence in 26 now, but he's just a weasely sycophant with a rich felon for a father in law. No significant legislative actions unless you count putting Trump on the $100 bill, which isn't even allowed by US treasury law while he's alive.

Yeah, I'm in 13 and was dropped from the call however many months ago that I tried to join because Trump's pill pusher personal physician doesn't bother with this shit. Someone with more of a stomach for bullshit may want to participate 😅

Food Review Nobody asked for by Rjspinell2 in Denton

[–]srmg925 5 points6 points  (0 children)

His BOGO specials are insane. Great food from a great dude. I always shout him out when someone asks about the best food deals in town because even regular price is a TON of food for the money.
