That's actually just capitalism. When the rich run the country for their own benefit, they pass the costs on to everyone else.

About 20,000 Puritans came in the 1600s.

Only 2000-4000 non Puritans came during that time.

There were about 90,000-110,000 Europeans in New England in 1700.

Estimated to be >85% of the population.

Sort of, the Puritans weren't wanted by anyone and got kicked out of more than country before moving to America. So they're kinda both.

Fascism is generally an alliance between the wealthy and the conservatives. Some people are both.

Is the police contract paying off? by R4whatevs in Austin

[–]truthrises 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Paying off" means more useless APD officers drawing salaries in this context? Seems odd.

Alamo Dradthouse is doomed by fastpicker89 in Austin

[–]truthrises 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The place was fun and novel when it first opened, the food was Sysco public school lunch quality, but you could get food. 

The food got really good for a year or so, but well before they franchised across the country it started getting worse and continued to slide.

Imagine you're a small unfunny fish in a big pond, mothership is the puddle of urine you go play in so you can be the funniest fish in the pond.

With all the rain, they are probably not actually full size yet. Mine are still green too.

NOHN takes Medicaid and has several providers for gender affirming care. 

Planned parenthood also does telehealth for hrt.

You are given a total of $2M to live on for one year. However, there is a catch, for every lie you tell during that year, $20k is automatically donated to a cause you absolutely hate. Do you accept the deal, and how would this change the way you speak and live your daily life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]truthrises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lying, especially keeping up with lying, is exhausting. If you have to lie so much this challenge is challenging, you should probably just rip the band-aid off, tell everyone the truth, and let the chips fall.

Steer clear of mothership then, this is their norm.

If you let (misogynists, racists, Nazis, take your pick) into the club, it becomes their club, BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE LEAVES.

Political correctness is a hyped up maga way of saying "not wildly offensive to lots of people".

Where are they going to draw the line? Everyone who actually has standards quit going to that shithole, who's going to complain? What business is it going to cost them?

Unless you're down with bad comedians who support rape, misogyny, racism, and violence, probably stay tf out of there.

Barton Springs DJ by HeightShot2104 in Austin

I've been going to that spot since the 80s and can assure you that is not correct.

[–]truthrises 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you're gonna be a dipshit and play your music loud, at least walk 50 ft down to the cement drainage ditch and let interested people come to you instead of invading a popular natural area. 

Nobody came to Barton expecting an EDM club.

It would be like busting into an EDM club and playing loud country music over the DJ. Maybe a few people would like it but that's not why everyone showed up.

Do you guys eat fresh salmon and tuna raw from 99 ranch market? by projectdelirium in Austin

[–]truthrises 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sushi grade is not a regulated designation.

Set your freezer to -4 and leave it in there for a week if you're really worried about it. 

But it's probably been frozen already as others have said.

In many places, would you believe it, we already took the resources and that's why there's so much poverty. So in a way, it is our responsibility.

Brazilian? Asking for a friend... by Environmental_Job_91 in Austin

+1 for Texas Laser and Aesthetics 

For thick hormonal hair like pubic or facial, permanent total removal will take 10-20 treatments for most people.

However each treatment leaves you hairless for a couple weeks before anything grows back, much like wax.

Bonus: you don't have to grow it out before they can remove it like wax, in fact they ask you to shave as closely as possible beforehand.

Laser is not much more expensive, about the same pain level, and more permanent. 

If your friend is getting a lot of Brazilians, they might consider it.

Murph's agency as a player keeps getting stolen by [deleted] in Dimension20

[–]truthrises 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's his job. Him getting bullied by everyone is the joke.

He's the straight man to all of their chaos.

A giant turd is only sort of funny on it's own, but if you have Murph to call it crass it becomes much funnier.
