  • What people don't get is that it is just using your body's naturally produced feel good chemicals - endorphins - to make you feel better. It is no different than relying on alcohol or drugs, legal or illegal, to treat your symptoms. You still have to do the hard work to try to cure or lessen your mental illness.

  • "My juice packs are the best juice packs. I was just talking to the inventor of the juice pack, Hannibal Lector, the other day and he says to me. He says, "Donnie," he calls me Donnie because we're that close, Hannibal Lector and I. So Hannie, I call him Hannie because we're, like super duperly close, closer than brothers. So he, Hannibal Lector, inventor of the juice pack, he says, "Donnie, you always have the best juice packs. I don't know how you do it, but yours are the best juice packs, and that's why you should be president for life." Very smart man, Hannibal Lector. Really, really smart."

  • You think she's ethical, innocent, or good? Yikes. She works hard to present a non-offensive to either side persona, that doesn't make her ethical, innocent, or good.

  • You forgot non-rich and non-land owning.

  • Trump has a position for him alright. He needs someone to change his diapers and clean his ass.

  • Not really. The vast majority of refineries in the US can't use Texas crude. It's why the idea of shifting to using American oil over imported is laughable. Not only that we have no pipelines from our oil wells to the refineries, so those would have to be built, as well. Basically, it'd take decades and tens to hundreds of billions of dollars to shift from foreign oil to American.

  • Did my comment need a /s on it?

    Yes? Never fucking assume people are going to get that you're being sarcastic on the internet. JFC, isn't that internet 101 anymore?

  • Do you think an electric car that weighs 1000lbs more than similar ICE cars is doing that much more damage to the road? And compare the damage cars, suvs, etc, would do versus box trucks, tractor-trailers, etc. There is no comparison to the damages between the two classes of vehicles. While true, an SUV will do more damage to the road than an econobox hatchback, even combined they don't equal the damage a fully loaded tractor-trailer will do.

  • Very few, if any, modifications are going to dramatically change a vehicle's curb weight. Of course, electrics weigh more than similar ICEs, so a better reason to skip a weight based tax is so as to not disincentivize electrics.

    Edit: Also, what do you mean "rice burners"? Afaik, rice burner refers to any vehicle of Asian origin whether tuned or not. And trust me, tuning a car is not going to increase the curb weight by more than a few pounds.

  • You realize that electrics are heavier than similar sized and shaped gas vehicles, right? So this would be an incentive to keep buying gas cars.

  • Most of what he, Abbott, and Patrick do is just political theater and has no real benefit for the people of Texas.

  • Yep. Guarantee every male who is at least semi or partially able bodied who takes him up winds up conscripted and on the front lines.

  • She has the closest percentage in 16 years of any candidate. In males, Trump led Biden and Clinton by at least 5 points. He has 1 on Harris. She is trouncing his ass.

  • Could see this on a ringworld. Come to think of it a ringworld would be the perfect place to base a fantasy novel on.

  • Saw an article recently, can't remember where, that basically said that the sole reason fast food was doing so poorly was pricing. That McDonald's was charging Texas Roadhouse prices, so people were choosing to skip McDonald's and go to Texas Roadhouse.

  • She's a billionaire, the reason she isn't endorsing anyone is because she knows damn she'll be called out for who she'd endorse and lose her fan base. Her public image is just that, an image. I have no doubt she votes R down the ticket.

  • Texas is really fucky. My wife needs a new ID and has to go in in person. Ever since the pandemic the DMV has been by appointment only. When I went to make one the soonest I could get was almost February of 2025 and that was something like 40 miles away. I decided to check Austin and San Antonio as I'm between both. Neither had any availability for the foreseeable future.

    Texas requires that you present you driver's license or state ID to vote. If you need either and can't renew by mail, you either have to travel a hundred or more miles to a DMV in the middle of no where or not be able to vote. Maybe it's the tin hat wearing part of me talking but this all seems awful coincidental.

  • I think the implication is that VW is untrustworthy due to their previous actions.

  • It only mentions ring 0 access in your link, ergo they responded to your post because it was the most appropriate. At least that's how I see it.
