Wonder if any black lawyers turned it down??

Case so bad that they wouldn’t take it for fear of being called “Uncle Tom”. Etc.
Think about trying to commit a crime and haul arse? Can’t be done. Depending on the crime. Can’t drive anywhere your car will be tracked my wifi or EZTag (or equivalent) and if you drove with neither you’re in an older vehicle that would stand out and be tracked with traffic cameras. I am typing this on a tracking device that I am addicted to.

I saw an interview talking about the mob and the most recent mob boss hit. It wasn’t over mob issues. It was a piece of arse.and the guy was caught by traffic cam because he stumbled and touched a car. Street camera caught it and the license of the random car he touched which was parked on a NY street. License tracked, car found and dusted, shooter ID’d. I believe the story was over 10 years old. It’s worse now.

Add to that Siri and Alexa which were our intro to AI. The ability to track all that we do and look at through our device? Depending on what you do or what you are suspected of there is zero privacy. Which is fine if you are a terrorist or child murderer. But
We are always negative here. Current events and media certainly do not help.

Are you hopeful?

Hopeless?

Indifferent? “World moves on. Very little can or will change that.”

I have been mildly indifferent over the years. Now I’m leaning less hopeful. The world has always had evil. From actual WW2 Nazis, to Muslims, to lone wolf terrorists, to the mentally ill mass shooter.

My fear is not that these exist. They always have. I fear we have ZERO in place to stop them or the stomach to tolerate anything put in place. It will take another major attack probably a scale worse than 9/11 and even then the percentage of the population that would still wring their hands over doing anything would be large. Less. But large.

Being an Ex-Pat, what group/race/region did you find the most racist??

My first job in nursing I was amazed to find Asian on Asian racism. My then young SETX SWLA born arse had no idea. Asian and Pacific Islander hate for each other was palpable. Just as an example.

Nigerian on Nigerian hate also. One woman told me, “Christian Nigerians probably don’t hate you but if they do they are at least decent people. The ones who don’t hate you will be great people. The Muslim Nigerians? They hate themselves. You have zero chance of being treated decent.” Paraphrasing the best I can.
My dad “dodged” it as long as he could in vocational school. Some sort of drafting/draftsman classes. The instructor was a veteran of ww2 or Korea. I can’t recall. And told him. If he quit the class he’d be gone before summer was over. It was 67’ or 68’ and they were ramping up.

Dad was running out of $$ and guilt was creeping in. He lasted a couple months before he got picked. His luck got better. Selected for medic training. But also selected for working in a hospital in Japan. Dad’s 2 jokes. “Glad I can’t shoot worth a shite or I’d have been a field medic.” And when asked what he did/served. “Just a big puss in a hospital!”

Probably? Perhaps? Maybe? Nonetheless, why would BT, Hermann, Methodist or non-TXmedcenter facilities not come forward and announce their facility is one of the Two?


Only 2 can handle a kid that sick. Really I’m sure it is just Hermann the other might be an extended care place like a specialized LTAC.

FWIW, that does not happen accidentally in an environment like Houston.


Indeed it does not. No money to be made on babies. It’s finally only worth it for only TCH to bother.
Memorial Hermann and Ben Taub probably.

TCH damned near has a monopoly on pedi here in Houston.

Nor will they snatch this poor baby's organs without parental consent.


This. TCH thought they were gonna get consent from parents who thought they killed their kid?? Makes no sense. Neither does the finders keepers notion of organ donation. It’s a bit more complicated than the child dying in o e hospital so they keep all of the organs.

And TCH killing a kid to get back at a politician?? The hospital has already far exceeded the amount of shite they are willing to eat. Sadly that kid is probably being better cared for than most in the hospital. Imagine having your name anywhere on their chart. You just know you are going to court. Take on set of vital signs? BOOM deposition!
And he is physically struggling in the performance. His voice is poor (by his standards) with breaking and just out of breath. It adds to the performance now that we know what we know of that moment in their lives.
Yeah. I don’t think that’s how it works.

I thought girls started making me feel funny about 10?? Give or take. I was not tall or short. I was 10. Had I never grown from 10 years old I don’t think I’d have started fricking dudes. I would be that “short dude at the strip club” or cathouse.

Or I’d be the American living in whatever Asian country I didn’t seem too short to get laid.

rather have a Coors, Miller


My beer drankin’ career began in 1991. We started with Miller Lite. I don’t know why? We switched to Bud Light a year later. I don’t know why? From there it switched to Ice Beers when those came out. Because they had more alcohol.

The dumbest thing Bud Light did with their ad was remind me how easy it is to switch. It reminded me the Miller Lite was never really bad. In addition I do not know if Miller Lite went back to their 70-90’s logo before or after the trans ad. If it was after it was GENIUS. Was the perfect time for a nostalgia move. If I’m at a bar with limited beer choices I’m buying a Miller Lite.
Sad when I check a link to make sure it’s not a cousin.

But he’s 51 or so.

51 is like 87 for meth.

re: Beatles v Led Zep

The Beatles were the greatest band and the first modern rock band.

Led Zepplin were the greatest of a genre of rock. They were never pop. Only rock and arguably the first of hard rock.

The Beatles were copied by everyone because they were first. Anyone else u can name who were earlier are a guy and his support cast. Like Bill Haley AND THE COMETS. The Beatles were just a pop act until the world realized how good they all were. With 2 of the best songwriters of all time and a 3rd who was just under that.
Dumbass thinks he has the big picture. He’s dealing with emotion and absolutes. But the wrong ones. Trump absolutely has 2.5 years left as President. He absolutely has started a career he can have for a decade. Give or take.

This is a blip in time. Especially to someone that young. And you are NOT JIM BROWN!!! Ask Jim Brown (well not really) how much the landscape changed for him. Plus Carter is not a slam dunk hall of famer.

She’s on Fox News for a reason. I think Bill Maher won’t have her on the show since a spat about Atheism. She was making a decent point about Atheists can be “as bad” as Evangelicals. When they are hardcore atheist they are everything Maher found bad about the religious.
If you get the shakes in the morning if you oversleep or don’t have alcohol ready to go? Then you are a prime candidate for seizures or DT’s. Of those folks I believe it’s a 30-40% fatality rate if you reach the point of seizures.

Cold turkey is NOT recommended if that is you. Drinking is actually recommended if you have shakes. Until you can get to a proper facility. Do proper research before fricking things up and ending up in an ER waiting DAYS for placement in a rehab bed.
Hershel Walker. Pre personality disorder. I guess.

Lynn Swan. Passed him in NOLA. Not really met.

Thurman Thomas. Sam’s Boat in Houston back when he still played. Nice guy. Didn’t kick my arse. Even though I stepped on his foot.

Carl Lewis.

Moises Alou. Outback Bar in Houston. Nice dude. Talked for a minute.
Whose is Blue Origin? Some reason I am thinking it’s the Bezos celebrity rocket or the one that broke and left NASA stranded on the space station for a year or so.
Can soybeans even grow there?

Paw paw was a rice farmer who alternated soybeans. Wish he were still around to laugh at this clown show.
