  1. I will say this transcends just racist behavior. By and large you know exactly where you stand with people in the northeast, good or bad. People in the south will shower you with politeness and hospitality, but many of these refined ladies and gentlemen won’t lift a finger to help you when you are in need, and some will stab you in the back first chance they get.
  2. Fair point of course. That doesn’t change the fact that there are statistically fewer mixed race neighborhoods / suburbs / exurbs in the northeast than in Texas. Again I have made the distinction between physical segregation and racism in other posts, but they do go together somewhat. The OR crew I worked mostly with during my fellowship was made up of men; the scrub tech was a white dude and the circulating nurse was a black dude. They liked to call me redneck and give me shit about being from Texas. I asked them one day why all the whites lived in one section of town and all the blacks in another. Neither thought it the least bit strange. In fact they were like the Italians and Portuguese each still had their own neighborhoods as well. This was close to 30 years ago. Shit may be all gentrified by now Don’t sleep on Lumberton. When I was in HS I worked at a restaurant by Parkdale Mall one of the guys I worked with was black guy from Silsbee. One day he had a blowout in Lumberton coming to work and drove on the rim for about 3 miles until he got over the bridge into Beaumont
  3. Demographics are destiny
  4. Im going to have to go with Cornyn. Apparently he is the only one willing to fight to keep us safe from Sharia Law.
  5. But what if it seems too BAD to be true?
  6. Dudes from DC (at least black dudes) will be quick to tell you DC is NOT fucking Baltimore
  7. Well there’s a world class set of tits in season 2. Maybe you can power through to get there and then persevere to S4 E1
  8. I feel like that one is an oldie. Seems like it was on the you got knocked the f out thread.
  9. Unless it has changed in the 25+ years since I lived up there Boston and every decent sized city in MA, CA, and RI are more racially segregated than say Houston, Dallas, and Austin
  10. Too bad kid rock’s dad didn’t
  11. Just start season 4 episode 1 and commit to 3 or 4 episodes. If that doesn't hook you and the season just about break you I will be shocked. ETA I came to the Wire and Sopranos late due to catching random scenes flipping channels. With Sopranos it was the episode with Paulie Christopher and the chechen mobster; almost pissed myself laughing. With the wire it was one of the early season 4 episodes
  12. Watched a few episodes of Mad Men but could not get emotionally invested. Yes everyone smoked back then and the women were constantly sexually harassed in the workplace. Jon Hamm has some dark secret in his past. I don't give a fuck Lost I also could not get into. Is there a monster? is there a time shift or another dimension? Are they a quarter mile through jungle to a 5 star resort? Any of the terminator / alien / predator sequels. Not sure why really. Didn't see them in the theater and just haven't made the time
  13. Yeah about that https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/28/kentucky-replace-mcconnell-beshear-00149543
  14. Someone probably mentioned this upthread, but I never knew that they lump coaches, seniors, and "contributors" into a single class and only 3 top finalists out of 5 get in. Seems stupid.
  15. About as long as authoritarian cunts have been around
  16. I don’t think I’ve had an HIV+ patient in the past 10 years who had a detectable level of virus in their blood. But fuck science right?
  17. Paradoxically the least “racist” places are often the most segregated places
  18. I think I asked this on another thread but forgot where. Does the Epstein estate still have the original documents or did they turn everything over to DOJ
