The sad thing is if even if the shooter was wearing a MAGA hat and was waving a Nazi flag after the shooting, they would still find a way to blame it on the left.

Even if the poll is suspect, I can tell you from personal experience it is much different up here. I just moved to New England from Texas and the difference is just staggering. I’m in an upper middle-class semi-rural area and there are pride flag everywhere. The church in on the main road has a sign that says, “Everyone Welcome” with rainbows on it. The city themselves gave out pride signs for people to put in their yards. These are not things you would ever see in Texas (outside of maybe Austin).

I coach youth soccer and my last season in Texas I had a player with 2 dads. One of the league officials sent me a message before the start of the season “warning” me about that. Absolutely nothing like that here. No one bats an eye or comments on the makeup of a kid’s family.

This is all just from my experience as a straight CIS male. I’m sure someone from the LGBTQ+ can give a better perspective.

No, now we have 3 hours of un-allocated time on this contract which has upset the client

I hate this so much. I got told to work slower once and argued back that they should be more confident and sell contracts based on deliverables, not time and materials.

It certainly does have an Adult Swim/Sealab vibe to it

“I can’t wait for them to reboot The Fantastic Four again” said nobody ever

Don’t forget the situations where you find a good blog post or article that you can actually follow along until halfway through you get an error that the documentation doesn’t address. So you do some research and find out that they updated the commands for one of the dependency apps, so you try to piece together the updated documents with the original post, until something else breaks and you just end up giving up out of frustration.

Reminds me of a guy I knew who kept getting letters for a $10 parking fine he got while at university. He waited until they spent more in postage than the fine before paying it.

Also fuck CVS for making deals with insurance companies to force people to use them.

It has to do with the setting. It’s not just a Native American riding away on horse back, but the fact that the settler is watching him with his rifle near by. It is like he is driving him away and claiming the land for his own.

An agency spokesperson claimed that the move had nothing to do with politics. Internal emails show otherwise.

Texas Monthly continuing to fight the good fight here, and telling it like it is. Sadly half of my family calls them fake news.

I would say you are more literate because it’s in the last sentence, most people never read that far.
