  1. holy shit it was great seeing him get absolutely abused by the Texans last night! I went to the fan game watch thing at NRG last night, just about blew the roof off that place with the pick six
  2. I used his brine thaw for my turkey this year, turned out phenomenal and I didn't have to have a big ass bird take up fridge space. His new stuff is great so far, I wanna try his homemade Swiss miss and marshmallows next time it gets really cold
  3. The funny thing is though, the economy wasn't even doing all that poorly! Especially compared to our current donkey show. It was just their shared vibe and repeated mantra that the Dems are bad for business, and any success is in spite of them. It's all delusion and blind belief over opening their eyes and looking for themselves.
  4. The problem is that when presented with evidence to the contrary, they flee like cowards. See: @ChickenSandwich
  5. It's mainly driven by social ties in my experience. That insane 40% tends to be highly socially connected - the crazies at the country club. But that means in order to keep up good graces, they MUST all accept and normalize their insane friends. It's less so that they support trump, and moreso that they've been brainwashed their entire adult lives by reaganism and the belief that anyone to the left of Dick Cheney is a raging socialist communist that's going to turn their kids gay. And SURE, maybe the 60% of Republicans who are just useful idiots only believe half of that, but they will all fall in line and repeat whatever Dear Leader tells them to. At this point, anyone who's paying attention and still pro-trump isn't the 40%. Theyre the people who are gonna be burning books in a giant pile in a few years of things keep going the way they are. Like holy shit did you learn nothing from the failure of reconstruction? You can't give these assholes an inch
  6. It's more that you're treating an LLM as an arbiter of truth, and using that as an excuse to not look any deeper or to actually challenge your base assumption. The responses can be heavily sourced, but the presence of a bunch of links doesn't mean it's accurate. I'm sure it can find a bunch of sub stacks and op-eds to say the words that you want to read, but that doesn't mean any of it is actually accurate to reality Elon is throwing seig heils, and you cannot be made to see what your lying eyes are telling you
  7. Sounds like abuser behavior from the trumpers - "we won't listen to you and will fight you every step of the way unless you kowtow to our demands and worldview". There is no other way to make them think you aren't the enemy. They have been repeating the mantra as a prayer for the better part of a decade now, that anyone against Trump is part of the woke mob. They have to decide that their neighbors and fellow citizens aren't enemies. It's like you're saying Ukraine has to get Russia to stop thinking of it as an enemy
  8. "you gotta stop obstructing us, that's why that lesbian bitch is dead" - Trump ICE fascist thugs We need to stop calling this immigration enforcement. This is just attacking a city that didn't vote for you, purely for partisan warfare. And I mean literal warfare, people are getting fucking executed by the executive as judge jury and executioner
  9. Just straight up using slogans from the fascists in the Spanish civil war now. Of course the slogan was adopted and used by the nazis too during reprisals and ethnic cleansings
  10. It must be nice, checking out on your own critical thinking and giving it up to a large language model. Enjoy the bliss, you sad ignorant little man. If you're happy with using your two queries as a fig leaf to believe your hate, then I think Bozo wants to talk to you
  11. I'd love for you to share the prompts and full context that led you to believe this lie. Or you can just be a fucking liar you pissant little asshole
  12. Bro haven't you read a Daily Texan thread on how these things go? It's all character assassination and running away from factual errors. Chickensandwich out front shoulda told ya
  13. as the frog sits in the boiling pot, it starts to notice more bubbles than normal....
  14. Unironically, it's mostly Texas agents being sent to the fascism. So that sucks ass, and also explains why they don't know how to walk on slippery surfaces
  15. It's a distinction without difference to fig-leaf his opposition without critical thinking. He doesn't want to side with fascism, but he does want to defend his "team" by kicking up dust and uncertainty about the evil happening.
  16. TBH if it's """auto gratuity""" I would much rather them just price things on the menu honestly. If it's not optional, it's part of the price. Put the price on the menu.
  17. About that.... https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/ice-agents-flood-into-roosevelt-high-school-in-minneapolis/89-e0d004b0-bb3d-41b7-949c-e4867f97f7c9
  18. In my experience, it's been the contrary. Since COVID and qanon, they just reject facts and what their eyes and ears are telling them. Engaging and meeting bullshit with facts is exactly how we got into this mess, according to you a few pages ago anyways right? Can't go hurt their feelings otherwise you'll be responsible for driving them to fascism since they're little babies with no agency, or something right? I feel like you're talking out of both sides of your mouth here.

  20. Anyone who gives up on trump and maga is worth talking to. I am not going to hold any illusions that anything I say can or will change their minds, though. That's a choice they can only make for themselves - to stop believing in the lie. I sweatergod it's the exact same dynamic as dealing with foaming at the mouth evangelicals. They're happy to move the goalposts indefinitely because it's not about seeking actual truth, just a personal emotional "truth". You literally cannot reason with that, and every time they interact with each other they ritually reinforce their shared hallucinations. It's a goddamn fucking death cult full of fascists. They don't even earnestly hold their positions or arguments, it's all just fodder for culture wars. Abortion is mega big bad until Trump does it. Mortgage fraud is the worst thing ever until Trump can't wriggle out of that charge. And on and on. None of it is actually deeply believed, it's all just fig leafs to never critically think about their hatred in their hearts
  21. At least we skipped the fig leaf pearl clutching over mOrTgAgE FrAuD this time and just jumped right to the point.
  22. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-federal-prosecutors-open-inquiry-into-us-fed-chair-powell-nyt-reports-2026-01-12 And a statement by Powell
  23. I completely agree, I'm not saying the best course is to withdraw. I'm saying we shouldn't concede every point and excuse their blind hatred and affirmative votes for a modern Kristalnacht. It's happening in Minnesota right now. If they're any sort of "aw shucks" about that, fuck them and they are lost. Don't retreat from engaging with them, don't concede that because they FEEL a certain way that it must be so, and don't give them room to weasel. Giving them so much rhetorical weasel room is exactly how you end up in this position. You're literally excusing their choices as "the human condition". All are equal, but they must be more equal than others if their privileged human condition gives them license to be fascist without contempt from you.
  24. Texans sure don't know how to walk on ice, and it shows
  25. Lulz if this happened 18 months ago it would be a fucking five alarm fire in this thread about the government telling private businesses how to run their interests. It's pretty funny how all those rhetorical positions have been aggressively abandoned now. I wonder what changed...?
