Where he can do no more harm, to anyone, as Sul Ross University is a phantom campus created for federal aid purposes and only exists on paper

Reopening the state is having an effect on how people behave now. Last time I went out, everyone I saw was wearing a mask. When I went out to get my vehicle inspected today, about half the people I saw weren't wearing a mask. About a third of those who were wearing one, were wearing them improperly (not covering their nose, hanging around their neck, etc).

This would be basically every single person in the state right https://twitter.com/alexazura/status/1261003213999931392 Also, gently caress off Paxton

Clearly Patrick is the worst Texas official but I can’t decide on the silver medalist, Paxton, Miller, Tinderholt, or Cain. Can we just put all four in burlap sacks and throw them in the Colorado and whoever floats is the witch?

The last three are all irritating clout chasers; Paxton does more tangible harm than the three of them combined

But I could see a real dickhead trying to counter with "well then you just have to get an antibody test and show negative results before requesting a mail ballot", and Ken Paxton is a championship-level dickhead after all.

zoux posted:e: lol The government tried to help the people but the businesses refused to let them? Were they trying to test in the building? Couldn't they just set up a tent immediately off the property by the parking lot and test people there? It seems like if they were serious about testing people, they'd do it and not ask a business for permission. Also what kind of cold hearted rear end in a top hat just says no to testing employees? The lack of empathy is shocking but not surprising. Jesus Christ burn everything down please. EDIT: Clicking on the link is a completely different headline where they reversed course and are testing now. wtf.

State updated. +1448 infections, +58 deaths. Tests are still higher than they have been, at +35.9k. I'm wondering if they just got a large private lab network to start reporting test numbers or something. Hopefully they aren't doing what VA has been doing and using antibody tests to dilute the testing number for a better look.

Either Rogan moves here and gets weed legalized, which would own, or Rogan moves here and gets loving raided live during a podcast recording for having pounds of weed, which is hilarious and also owns. There is no bad outcome here

People who die at home don't get posthumously tested for coronavirus right? The only way for a death to be attributable to covid is if they have a positive result while alive and die of complications, true? My uncle died the other day (his body was found yesterday during a wellness check) and the denton medical examiner office guesses it's just going to be 'natural causes' on the certificate (he was mid 60s with a hard life. Smoker, drinker, diabetes, past heroin, HVAC installer/maintainer. I know he had a persistent cough this past few days, but that's about it.

I was thinking about this tonight; most of us graduated high school in the mid 90s to late 2000s. Who here had a 'kicker' clique at their school? I assume it's way less common now, and probably died out where I went (cedar park and leander), but looking it up it seems smaller than I even guessed; it doesn't even have its own urbandictionary page which is the end-all edit it's primarily a suburban phenomenon of encroaching on rural communities, since them being a clique implies they're not close to a majority i say swears online fucked around with this message at 07:50 on May 15, 2020 |

Mine was more of a rural area turning suburban though. It's funny seeing it written out now with so many Ks. I suppose that's fitting since I know of a few of those types that were involved with the klan.

I grew up in a small town in the middle of nowhere so we had a small normal clique and the majority were real kickers. I still see the suburban posers you are referring to now and again though in certain areas.

Every professional baseball and basketball stadium in Texas is now indoors and he gives no solutions in his article for those - just states that it could be 'worked out'. The article is a fantasy and nearly all of it couldn't done logistically. Thanks for helping Dan!

I don't really remember much in the way of kickers at the high school, although my older brother hated having to go to Leander's high school because it was a bunch of genuine redneck hillbillies. When I was in elementary school at Faubion, before Cedar Park started to blow up, there were a pretty good number of the sort of rural roleplayers. I was from Jonestown, which was more poorer hippies and crazies than rural kickers. Cedar Park was more exurban turning to suburban, and as you got toward Leander you saw more actual rural people. We all went to the same schools, though.
