The last Memorial weekend I did in Galveston ran from Thursday through Monday just to avoid traffic

Shooting Blanks posted:Double post but, this is potentially noteworthy. I still don't understand what the rationale is anymore for firing everyone at HISD for budget reasons. If you took over the school district claiming it was to improve the schools, how does firing all the janitors accomplish that? The Republican logic just seems to be that a school can't fail if it doesn't exist anymore. (I know it's all bullshit privatization scheming, but I don't understand how they pretend there's a functional internal logic here anymore.)

Back Hack posted:It one of the reason building owners are trying to get State and/or Fed funds to convert their empty office space into apartments and condos, converting those offices into living spaces costs a ridicules amount of money to renovate builds of that size to provide indepentant AC, water, and sewage after the fact. They are converting a hotel near my office and the floor plans are hilarious. Every living space gets a full bathroom and the kitchen has no stove or oven. https://www.liveatteak.com/ Oil! fucked around with this message at 20:06 on May 15, 2024 |

Oil! posted:They are converting a hotel near my office and the floor plans are hilarious. Every living space gets a full bathroom and the kitchen has no stove or oven. That's....something. I guess they expect everyone to either buy a toaster oven and/or freestanding induction cooktop, or that people just live with cooking only in microwaves now? Then again, there are enough people that survive only off of a combination of restaurants and heat and eat meals that they'll eventually rent everything out, I'm sure.

Nonsense posted:The future is private schooling for all, not some. The future is: - quality private schooling for the rich - religious schooling (of varied quality) for some of the middle-class - white nationalist homeschooling or unschooling AND child labor for everyone else It's unreal how badly the white nataionlist homeschooling movement has infiltrated the Republican party and basically any online spaces around parenting.

Gotta have the kids out of the house so the parents can work! The ideal is stay-at-home moms and older daughters raising the younger children until you can marry off those daughters in their late teens. Women aren't supposed to be working most jobs in their utopia. The Duggars perfected the model. Sounds like a joke, but social media has a big trad wife movement with people maintaining that it's traumatizing for a mom to ever letting anyone else care for or educate their child. Separately, Rep. Thierry got endorsed by Libs of Tiktok and is now going around talking about how trans healthcare is black genocide because it's "medical experimentation" and "hindering reproduction". So y'all, genocide is whenever someone is allowed to make a decision that impacts their reproduction. Mistaken Frisbee fucked around with this message at 18:10 on May 16, 2024 |

Only half of the adults in Texas were born here. How many came from California? posted:Pick a Texas adult, any Texas adult. The odds that they were born here in Texas is now only about 51% — about a coin flip — according to recently released Census data collected in 2022. The answer is 3.7% which is third place, but first amongst the other states. International is second with 22.5% and native born is 50.9%.
