Time for benevolent sports teams owners to demand subsidies for brand new state of the art open air stadiums!!!

The roof at MMP is open almost never because lol at playing in Houston in the summer, the Rangers just built a brand new stadium because August in Arlington was excruciating. Does the hole in Jerryworld count as outside

Screw suburbia people will just live in each newer/better stadium!

i say swears online posted: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

those storms aren't even moving wtflitany of gulps posted:I was in one of the first classes to attend Cedar Park High School when it opened - I would've gone to Leander for my freshman year if they hadn't opened CPHS. 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.

Again, I'm just a dude on the internet and I don't expect to be believed, but I know my source to be telling the truth and they got it straight from Musk's mouth. The folks at Austin' regional Burning Man event are currently discussing ways to make sure that Musk never finds out that they exist. Sab0921 posted:Its a shitkicker. Country boy. I think that subculture was kind of an outgrowth of cowboy media's resurgence in the 80s (and the 90s rise of pop-Country). Then Napoleon Dynamite went and showed us a much truer image of rural America and kinda of shattered the romantic illusion. The only places I really see evidence of any type of poo poo-kicker subculture now is in some Tejano fashion. Plenty of 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants who've lived in cities their whole lives still wearing cowboys hats and alligator boots to go out on the weekends. This does make me wonder about rockabillies, though. Like, are they still a thing? I remember when that basically was the dominant Austin style (far more than any hipster variant that was more stereotypical).

We did it boys, your brave unwilling sacrifice has demonstrated the kind of greatness this state deserves. 🇨🇱 🇨🇱 🇨🇱 https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1261589748797321216 I do remember one kid at school that would always wear his cowboy regalia.

There's pretty much zero reason to include antibody tests in the total used for reopening because they're pretty much entirely worthless for determining the current state of spread and number of infectious people running around.
