I think the other point, STR, is that the difference between Texas and even the fairly unprogressive areas of the UK would've been more than a little stark the further back you go.

I'd also say the main thing nowadays is that a teenager's peer group probably doesn't give that much of a poo poo about this stuff, it's a lot more normalised as part of society for them - and even if parents etc have hangups about it, if there's one thing teenagers are good at, it's deciding their elders are idiots.

We had the talk. She's just really stressed out with trying to work full time, and go to school, and do this mortgage and homebuilding process. She feels taken advantage of by the mortgage company and she took it out on the builder. But to her it's 'them versus us' so the builder, lender, title company, realtor, etc all get lumped into 'them'

Thanks, Dad.

I'm keeping the car note though because it's only $300/month and 2ish% interest. I'm hanging onto what's leftover for now, and after I pay taxes in February/March I'll use what's left to either frame in the basement, build a shed, or finish the garage.

Well, most of the roads that really suck aren't state-maintained. OK, those suck, too, but the worst are usually city streets.
Of all places, Las Colinas, the fancy bit of Irving, TX, has some awesomely crappy roads here in their tourist/business district. Baffling.

Jesus, today went to hell in a handbasket.

I couldn't sleep, so I did what I usually do.. stay up on the computer. At 9am all hell breaks loose, roommates start ripping me new assholes for being inconsiderate and "typing all loud".

... you guys are sleeping on my loving couch, in my living room, WITH EAR PLUGS. Had you said something, I would have gone to my room. Then they went off about me cooking breakfast at 4am.

And it got even better. Brandon got right up in my face daring me to touch him, started calling me "loving cock sucking human being, you're too loving human being to push me". Made my way around him, opened the door, told him give me the key, which he did. Made the mistake of standing behind the door, fucker mule kicked it. Knocked out a tooth and left a huge knot on my head.

I no longer have roommates. His wife took off on foot when I called the police. He stuck around and tried to press assault charges... except I'm the one missing a tooth, and I have a knot on my head. He went to jail. Cops came up to get his insulin, I told them I wanted him out. They mentioned I may have to evict, I held up his key and said he told me he was moving out immediately, they suggested I throw everything of his in garbage bags and leave it on the porch the day he gets out.

loving christ, Rhyno's luck with friends is rubbing off on me. I have a bitch of a migraine, what's left of my tooth hurts, and my nose hurts.



Mad props to Garland PD though. They saw right through his bullshit, and were nothing but professional with me.

I was doing about 20. Downtown late at night, think I was on Bryan. It was a hard enough hit that the bottom of the chassis hit the ground. I honestly thought I'd run over a curb, except there was no forward smack, just a sharp downward SLAM.

I was hoping it had put a bubble in the tire... it's the only tire NOT new. No such luck though. No visible body damage, but the subframe looks like it got smacked. :sigh: I'll have to get the alignment checked.

I've been trying to get her to go to the ER for a WEEK. She's also in her third trimester; you get a still birth at that point if things go pear shaped, but not a miscarriage. The baby was kicking just fine last night.

Yeah I'm not feeling any sympathy for someone who supports their husband beating up their landlord, or doesn't see a need to get medical care for themselves, or tries to pin the blame for anything bad that happens on someone who didn't put that fetus there.

You need to work on your reading comprehension. Never said it doesn't suck, I said it's not STR's fault, and I don't see how after getting clocked in the head by her husband, somehow he's in the wrong for using the phrase "bitching" about someone who won't seek medical attention.

I feel for her, I really do (especially for being married to such a shithead husband), and I especially feel for the child (or child that could have been, if the child is stillborn). But she's also done nothing to manage her health, or her child's health.

She's obese, which I understand is hard to control (she's always been big as long as I've known her - she's about 275 now). But she also smokes cigs like a chimney (pack a day all through the pregnancy), smokes weed like Bob Marley, drinks regularly, and still dabbles with meth occasionally. She doesn't eat healthy in any way, and has yet to see an OB/GYN.

The baby was alive and kicking last night, but "didn't feel right" (and hasn't "felt right" in a week).

You're right. Take out the SJW, he's just a fuckwit all by himself.

I just thought it was because that's the description on wikipedia etc. Literally says "a pejorative term." People who are more about the fight and feeling self righteous versus actual offense or beliefs, which he clearly was. I'm open about actual beliefs and on the side of the oppressed. I am 100% against people using hot button topics as an excuse to win or start arguments in a psychological/social hat trick for ulterior motives.
