The secret is that it's actually a good weekend for the fair- nobody else wants to go at that time, it's quiet during the game, and if it's a 2:30 kick people will usually bail by the time it ends.

Funny how they’re all pro property rights and pro small gov until things affect them. Now they want to tell someone what they can and can’t do on their property and want TCEQ and other gov entities to shut it down. https://www.stop3009vulcanquarry.com

i went to UT-Austin for grad school and never went to OU, but as a native Oklahoman I still root for UT to lose this and only this weekend. If UT loses, Texans don't talk about it. If UT wins, I hear about it long after.

Zil posted:Is Austin really considered that bad? Austin's biggest issue is that a lot of the culture that made it "weird" has been pushed out by NIMBY yuppies. So you have a city increasingly populated by bland white people insisting that its so weird and wacky! Its other biggest issues is that the rental prices are atrocious, it lacks a significant amount of basic poo poo that's standard in other big cities, and Satan is a consultant for TXDOT.

I find the worst and most dedicated of the Austin NIMBYs l start their rants with "I've lived in Austin for 30 years and...<gently caress you got mine>". They might be for keeping Austin "Weird" but they demand that weirdness be limited to what they considered acceptably weird back in the day. The new arrivals are almost like the alamosexuals that got posted about. They moved here at least partially because it was quirky and weird and they try to turn it up to 11 in obnoxious ways. I grew up in South Carolina and liked moving here 15 years ago so much that I did it again 10 years ago.

The inescapable truth is that Austin is the apotheosis of the white liberal bourgeoisie city. They'll agree with you 100% of the time on matters of race, but the moment you try to open a facility to assist the undeserved in their neighborhood, the mask falls. Try to increase density in a neighborhood, or build out public transit options, and they immediately yell from their expensive rooftops bemoaning the destruction of neighborhood character. One has but to count all the anti-codenext yardsigns. The progressiveism is just a veneer. If you ask them to make any perceived sacrifice, no matter how realistically small, they immediately defend their class interests to the detriment of all else. They are every bit the enemies of progress chuds are. Source: Born here

I'd you want to watch someone go to the right at the speed of light mention property taxes to an Austin liberal. It's a microcosm for what is happened to the Democratic Party nationally.

I have a theory that most of the stereotypical boisterous texan attitude is all an elaborate ruse to cover up the fact that Texas has been a major hub of immigration for the entirety of its existence. Underneath all the bluster it's all a lot softer, but so long as the threat of the mythical True Texans is maintained, people can randomly be ostracized as unwelcome outsiders. But then my family came together from basically the four corners of the country, so I've always been suspicious of locality loyalty movements anyways. Historically, railing against carpetbaggers was a southern cover for fighting reconstruction and trying (eventually successfully) to rebuild the power structures that had been damaged during the civil war.
