Yeah...some people change but I think you're still the same Obama loving progressive you were back then. I'm surprised you agree with anything Trump has done. It must sting with all the shite-talking you've done over the years.

I do think Obama was a good role model. Was respected around the world and the economy was great under Obama, he made healthcare accessible to masses.

That being said, the Ukraine war started in 22 under Biden. And lots has changes since then with the Democratic Party. I.e, sending billions to the Ukraine war, making abortion a leading campaign message , and democrats became the party of trans rights.

Plus I had more experience in the real world( construction industry) so I know how a business friend president can affect the economy. People are allowed to alter their political views buddy.

So many Americans complain about being able to find a job. All landscape job are filled up with immigrants and employers don’t want to train Americans for these roles .

Schools should bring back shop classes so American students can learn more trade skills like wood working, agriculture, construction .

Probably is everyone wants to be a doctor and a lawyer.

USA needs ditch diggers, excavators, landscape laborers too.

American jobs need to go to American workers.

Immigrants send billions of dollars out of the country back to their families.

Obviously parties/ football games were great, but one memory that pops in my head from time to time:

It was over 12 years ago, not sure if it’s still there by there used to be a ‘ subway’ in the basement of one of buildings: called Foster Hall between the library and music building.

From outside , You had to take the steps down to get to that basement level before enter the building. Nice , low key lunch spot:

Around lunch time , the line could back up to about 15-20 people : sometimes outside the door.

On a busy day like this: the worker would ask people a few spaces back from the counter what kind of bread they wanted , to get a head start on their order by slicing the bread:

It was packed on that given day as I said : the female worker( sorta looked like flau’jue Johnson) rapidly took every bodies bread order all the way to the door: then she point out the window to a guy outside and goes “ You! Coming down the stairs: what kind of bread you want?!”

Everybody crammed in line that day erupted into laughter ! It was hilarious! even to do this day.
( he obviously couldn’t hear her, he was still outside but she had taken everybody’s order in the building already, that was the joke)

Just a random moment in the lunch line at the ‘ secret subway’ in the basement of foster hall. Maybe you had to be to understand the joke.

Got any funny random memories at LSU that pop into your head from time to time?

I don’t know if its technically swamp arse if it’s indoors,
But I get constant arse sweat sitting on my office chair at work related to stress.

I have to wipe my arse with paper towels when I I take a piss. Or else I get visible arse sweat on my pants ( indoors).

Not sure power will help, but I’m going to have to give it a try.

Stumbled across a yt video where ranchers/ environmentalists are discussing the aftermath of Colorado’s wolf reintroduction program.


Youtube: Colorado experience _ return of the Wolf

The ranchers sound ridiculous to me the way they over sensationalize the wolf problem. The law compensates them at fair market value when a wolf kills cow.

“They’re concerns are: oh well , we take good care of our cattle so they die a humane death: like the aren’t headed to the slaughter house. “

“Oh, the cattle get scared when wolfs are around. “

“Oh, well nobody really considered us when people were voting. We should have educated people more about why our cattle are more important than the natural ecosystem. “

“Oh , well the cattle can’t defend themselves against wolfs, and the native grasses alone can’t support cattle, so we have to supplement the cattle with feed. Oh, and we can’t grow crops here so that’s why we have to ranch.”

No shite, that’s why we shouldn’t have whipped out the millions of native cattle that fed the native Americans and wolves for thousands of years.


How wolves changed Yellowstone

I know It’s easy to look back at our ancestors and point fingers about how uneducated they were in terms of wiping out beaver, passenger pigeons, bison, etc .

Makes me wonder what 200 years from now , what mistakes we are making now: our lack of focus on renewable energy comes to mind. Will we keep drilling and fracking until we have little to no resources left?
