Trump’s America
Got it. And on that, my experience (which, granted, is already a bit dated as the boy is about to graduate college) is similar. Again, in general terms, our school systems are not hospitable for boys, do not account for how boys learn, and alternately treat boys like shit/indulge and coddle their worse impulses and behaviors. Our general education system is not set up to position boys for success. It is instead set up to put them behind the curve almost from the very beginning. Acknowledging and addressing that is not "anti-female," it's "pro-solve this really serious and socially dangerous problem." 30 million disaffected, undereducated, pissed off young men is not a positive feature for a society. We should avoid creating that as much as reasonably possible.

By their own family, or by the schools/the system? I'm legit asking.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
This is also correct. It's about terrorizing those who don't look like "Heritage Americans," hoping to either run them out of the country (if they are not US-born citizens) or simply remind them of their subservient place, beneath their True White Masters. That's it. That's the entire purpose. Honestly, we're well into the "imagine what the Klan would do if you made them a massive, paramilitary wing of the government" phase of things, and it's all going exactly as you'd expect.

Border patrol checkpoints....adjacent to the border....has always been the case and has always made sense (even then, I don't share much info with them). Internal checkpoints SOLELY for the purpose of "papers please" bullshit out of 1980s movies featuring totalitarian states, can get right fucked. It's as anti-American as you can fucking get. You know what's NOT anti-American? Banging an ICE agent's wife while he's gone. He's busy out there fucking we the people, fucking his people in return is the least we can do.

"I'm on my way to fuck the everloving shit out of some ICE agent's wife. She's a dirty whore for anyone bringing more than 3 inches to the game, so she's already at home using the new butt plug I sent her to get things 'opened up.' Say....what's YOUR wife's name? I mean, it sure would be funny if it's her, what with you stopping me to talk and all."

Goddammit, why you gotta remind me how much I hate Faulkner. 3 pages to tell me the sky is blue. Gimme Hemingway instead: "The sky was blue. My dick hurt that day. So I had a drink." Or gimme Tennessee Williams: "You gotta come outside and see how blue the sky is. Come on outside. STELLA!!!! Come outside!"

They aren't. Every principle they claimed to hold was a lie. Every. Single. One. Shit, I just stopped on a road trip yesterday at a semi-rural gas station/food store. Walked by a t-shirt on the rack that had the nice old saw of "THOSE WHO SACRIFICE LIBERTY FOR SECURITY DESERVE NEITHER." Turns out even that one was a flat-out lie. See, we're told that the gravest threat to our sovereignty, the most dangerousest thing ever, is all these damn dirty criminal messicans. We HAFTA git em all out before they kill us all and murder and rape us in our sleep! So, WE SECURE THE BORDER, SECURE AMERICA! (Seriously, they are literally using the base word of the term "security"). Are we sacrificing liberty to get there? I dunno. Is the 4th amendment, a core amendment in the Bill of Rights, a liberty, kinda important to our liberties, that kinda stuff? Sure always seemed like it: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Yet, here we are.....every one of the fuckers who would unironically buy that t-shirt is JUST FINE WITH WRITING THE 4TH AMENDMENT RIGHT OUT OF THE CONSTITUTION. See the recent whistleblower leak of the internal ICE memo that holds that nope, ICE don't need no judicial warrant, they can kick down anyone's door, and do whatever and grab whoever they want. All they need is...a note from themselves saying it's okay to do that (seriously, that's literally the standard ICE has set via its own policy, in plain violation of the 4th Amendment). So, fuck those fucking rednecks. They don't care. So long as messicans are getting beaten up somewhere, they're happy. You could light fire to the entire Constitution, shut down all roads everywhere, burn every city over 5,000 people to the ground, and these fucking pieces of shit would be okay with it, because the only thing that matters to them is hurting other people. There is no sacrifice too great, no principle that can't be erased, so long as somewhere, a brown person cries.

Minneapolis ICE Murder
These. While I very much want some immediate action and legal action on many fronts, there are also things that can take time, and be done right. He committed murder, as he killed her with the third, entirely unnecessary shot (all shots were unnecessary and unjustified, but that one really was the perfect example of "you shot because you were mad, not because you were in danger"). It's murder. Charge him under state law, convict him under state law. Dotard can't stop that. This may be a case of "let's WALK down there and fuck ALL of those cows."

Non-political tariffs thread
We've actually talked about visiting Bulgaria, and my wife very much wants to take me to Turkey. She went for nearly a month to study there, and loved it, she'd like to share it with me. We had an opportunity to visit Mongolia 10 years ago, when her friend was stationed there, but it was going to be $3k per person (for 4 of us) just in travel expenses, and 40 hour travel days each way, just to get to Ulaanbaatar. Ain't nobody got time (or money) for that, just to end up in....Mongolia. I hear travel options are much better nowadays.

"Hey Brisket....are we REALLY living in the dumbest of all possible timelines? Like, if Dr. Strange took one of those stones, and examined all possible timelines, this would be the dumbest?" "Oh. My friends. In case you thought I was kidding when I told you 'yes, we are in the dumbest possible timeline,' see this actual post from the official, non-satirical social media page of the office of the most powerful official on the entire planet:"

New (?) University in Austin
Because "fucking duh." It's like those videos showing drunk rednecks playing with fire and modified 4-wheelers and shit. Everyone watching knows exactly what's going to happen - mayhem. We just watch to see it when some dude ends up on fire. American society has an epidemic of thinking that dictates "look, I know that what is happening seems obvious, and the outcome is 100% predictable, but we need to focus on all the options that have a .001% chance of being the alternative." No, dudes. The car is hurtling towards the cliff at 100 mph, and it's 50 feet from the edge. It's going over, dudes. As a society, we need to be slashed repeatedly with Occam's Razor, apparently. Now this....is also accurate.

In my experience (private Catholic School kid the WHOLE way through.....elementary to 8th grade, much more economically diverse school, high school still pretty diverse, but had some REALLY wealthy kids that I hadn't seen before), that's more class-based than race-based. When to elementary-8th with plenty of white kids whose family environment was really strong and loving (similar to the minority kids there, too). Honestly, a pretty middle class school, and but for the outlier families (there are shitty ones everywhere), everyone had a pretty decent family life, involved parents. Got to high school, and yeah....the really rich kids often had super-shitty parents. They had the nicest cars, whatever clothes they wanted, all that shit (including access to large volumes of coke and X on prom night), but parenting was regularly lacking. That ain't a Gen-X white boy problem. It's not even a rich Gen-X white boy problem. That's a "has rich, shitty parents" problem -- which, granted, in our generation, that problem skewed strongly white.

Land of the free! PAPIERE BITTE!- Winter Weather 2026 - I Can Haz Cold Front?
Cruz leaving the state was what prompted our son - living 5,000 miles away - to text us. "I saw Cruz already fled the state. Shit guys, is it really going to get that bad?" It's kinda funny how it is a legit benchmark to how bad shit is going to get in Texas. Meanwhile, the shindig that @South Austin and I were set to attend has been canceled. So, the complimentary dapper outfits will have to wait in the closet for their next appearance.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Trump admin, to man raping a woman: "Hey, you should stop raping her so much. Also, I get a turn at raping her." Perfection.- I for one welcome our new AI overlords
Mr. Taylor also offered some other cutting-edge observations, such as Sydney Sweeny seems to have great tits Russian armor does not appear to be invincible Usain Bolt is pretty fast Water is wet I wouldn't go so far as your first sentence. Gambling and risk-taking is not inherently "all-good." A certain element percentage of it, sure. But not as the dominant/sole ethos of business. And yeah, they long ago passed the point of placing massive bets with money essential to the economy as a whole. If you lose a bet and lose YOUR house, that's on you. If you're placing bets that can cost other people THEIR houses, fuck you. In short, fuck these fucking fucks. I'm pretty sure the healthcare AI rules are as simple as the old Basic programming trick: 10: Deny all claims 20: Go to 10- Trump’s America
I think you'll find that around 22% of the population believes that powerful people should be able to fuck whoever they want, whenever they want, regardless of age, gender, or consent. Because 1/4 to 1/3 of human being are absolutely wretched, irredeemable scum. True fact.- Trump’s America
Except...and this is an important part of the picture....that's kinda bullshit. GenX and male zoomers (specifically the white ones) are STILL generally eating better, getting more love, all the metaphor stuff, than most other dogs. What they aren't getting is as much steak and love as the generation of white male dogs before them. Those dogs got fucking filet mignon, and were able to sleep on the sofa, and got the best vet care, and all that shit....in large part because the household where those dogs resided made sure that no rival dogs had access to such goodness. It's still generally better and easier to be a white male of merit than it is to be anything else. It's just that the systemic advantages and system-rigging that provided for unprecedented prosperity and steaks and chew toys have dwindled.- Winter Weather 2026 - I Can Haz Cold Front?
I have two hose bibs that we really don't use that just stay wrapped and insulated. Another that we put a separate cut-off valve on, so I drained it and turned it off. My one on the back patio downstairs, I had set up with some heat tape, plugged all of that in yesterday. That leaves one more, which is a bit troublesome, as it has a slow drip. So I got one of these (which has a bit of an opening at the bottom to let the water through....and yes, I know that the drip alone helps prevent freezing): Of course, I had an elaborate plan to protect our pipes and such in 2021....which was heavily dependent on "having electricity." That, uh, went a bit sideways. So my backup plan is of course "turn off the fucking water at the street." As always.- Trump’s America
