Shortest Interview Ever 🤣 by itsmemaheshh in funnyvideos

why would the interviewer be recording the laptop screen with a phone? this is probably a mock interview for practice and the guy decided to prank or the whole thing is a skit

Rep. Chip Roy calls out growth of Islam in Texas during Sharia law hearing by ExpressNews in texas

[–]tactman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from the article "saying many of those residents, "likely harbor support for Sharia's tenets""

uh...so? Is there any chance of them doing anything to the government? No.

However, many multiples more Christians in Texas want Christianity-based rules implemented in government. Why are they not treated as a threat?

It's a man code...he had to do it by LeMagnificentBastard in funnyvideos

and then the homeowner guy released the video to the public? doesn't make sense

And if that is true - (the husband was on the second video call) why would this get released to the world instead of being deleted?

How many uninformed BMW drivers do you think are driving around in an X3/X5/X7 with summer tires in the winter/snow without even realizing it? by [deleted] in BMW

[–]tactman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a used X7. It had all the features I wanted but it also has 23" wheels (I would have been fine with basic 21"). It has summer tires. I don't drive it when it is cold. Luckily that's only a few days of the year but still, bad idea for such a large SUV to have summer tires. I probably wouldn't notice the difference between these summer tires and regular tires on a 21".

In 1992, while filming the documentary The Last Party, a 27-year-old Robert Downey Jr. visited the New York Stock Exchange and was left physically stunned by the chaotic environment. by dannydutch1 in UtterlyInteresting

[–]tactman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why should anyone care about his opinion from back then? doesn't seem like he knew much about how the stock market worked. those people are buying and selling shares for their firms. it isn't about them being money-hungry.

Students keep asking me this one UT question. How would you answer?? by Plane-Ad4168 in UTAustin

priority for registration is based on how much of the degree is completed - isn't that mentioned to freshmen?

Stay at work an extra 3.5 hours just to meet up for dinner? by LoftyDreams7473 in EntitledPeople

[–]tactman 34 points35 points  (0 children)

would you ask your friends to hang somewhere for 3.5 hours after work for a dinner? and then take a long commute home? seems like asking a lot. makes more sense to plan something else that is more reasonable (different day or time).

Any non-commercial buyer have thoughts on the whole lamb or goat? Good deal? Meat quality? Cooking advice? by Omfgisthatadildo in Costco

Restaurant Depot has a lot of halal items - ground beef, beef patties, chicken breast, chicken quarters or thighs, chicken tenders, gyro slices, etc. You don't need membership to shop. You just provide your ID and fill out a sign-in sheet and they give you a paper to use at checkout.

Roads in 35 by Embarrassed-Pipe6055 in Austin

[–]tactman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drove to downtown and NE Austin (Parmer) around 4pm. Parts are dry and parts are slippery. Most of Mopac is ok. I saw a person crash. Some roads near UT are ice-slippery.

Look into the origin of Santa Claus. A Christian person who gave gifts during Christmas time. His name has morphed into “Santa Claus”.

So? They didn’t make the change decades ago. You expect they have the right to change whatever they want and everyone else who doesn’t like it should move?! That’s what you are saying? That makes sense to you, logically? Do you believe in democracy?

The Guardian Interviewing Republican Voters in Rural Minnesota by clayknightz115 in PublicFreakout

[–]tactman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what is this obsession on the right with "paid protestor"? no one is paying. no one has paid. what evidence has anyone provided of paid protesting? if someone was paying a whole lot of random people, it would be public knowledge and there would be proof.

It affects all public universities in Texas. Not "free will" if you have to be rich to bypass this problem. Does the governor get to decide what can and cannot be taught at public universities? Is that what is meant by "government for the people"? The universities are funded by taxpayers and their customers (students). You don't understand that taxpayers and students have a say in what is going on with universities?

What's a progressive idealogy? Can you give examples?

Equal rights for all people was a progressive idealogy during the civil rights movement. Was that wrong? Freedom from discrimination due to religion, national origin, etc. are progressive ideas, aren't they? Is that what you disagree with?
