FizFashizzle posted:When I was in Austin I had really good BBQ at a gas station. It was like a whole restaurant though. That would be Rudy's. It's perfectly acceptable, average BBQ. BrownThunder posted:Do what kayakyakr said but also check out The Domain area up north. culinary dropout is really good eats and there's some good places to drink too. Yeah, Domain Rock Rose is cool too. I just kinda assume when someone asks about Austin, they're going to be mostly in the downtown area. Slab BBQ is about the only BBQ worth hitting up on the North side. Chi'Lantro is a must-do as well. Kim Chi Fries, Beef. They're all over town. Lebowski's Grill in Highland Lanes (bowling alley) is one of my favorite price::value burgers in town, plus you can go bowling. Ramen Tatsuya is oft named among the best Ramen places in the states. If you want to drop some cash, I can build up a list of finer dining spots. Or have more specific questions, PM me or re-summon in the NCAAF thread cause I'mma drop out of this thread now.

If you've ever questioned the pure musical genius and power of Outkast, find the original version of this song with Three 6 Mafia. It's fine but UGK/Outkast is a God tier level song.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Controversial Outkast opinion Nah, that's just common sense. Also, re: Austin food, unsure of your budget, but there is really good fine dining in town. Barley Swine is my favorite restaurant in town and always makes amazing plates. There's a Gus's Friend Chicken by the convention center and it is amazing fried chicken. Go check out Easy Tiger at the end of east 6th before 35 - It's a bar/bakery with a killer biergarten, bar and in house cured meats. I love the lunch at Annie's on Congress -- it's nothing specific to Austin, but has a good burger/sandwich/food selection. You can grab a decent, quick bite from any of the Royal Blue's around downtown. Athenian on 6th is decent Greek. The 4 seasons bar is a nice retreat sometimes. 2nd bar and kitchen patio is also a nice meal spot on a spring day. Surf and Turf po-boys are p tasty, but a bit pricy. Edit: forgot to add Ramen Tatsuya, which has North and South locations. Their dipping noodles are amazing. Neil Armbong fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Apr 27, 2017 |

Well duh The Rooster owns and so does Church and Ghettomusick and Tomb of the Boom and well looks like I know what I'm working out to today. While on hip-hop, I agree with Chuck D's opinion that LL Cool J should have made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before 2pac.

However, SNAP is administered by the state, so its vulnerable to all the cruel, pointless shittery that republicans are notorious for. Stuff like not being able to buy hot food with them, or counting child support as income and therefore disqualifying people.

Felix lost some mph on his fastball and has re learned how to pitch to extend his longevity which is cool and good, but you know the competitor in him reaches back and tries to sling it. As a Rangers fan I hope he gets better.....In 4-6 weeks.

The answer to this answer is it doesn't really matter. We can't let people starve. It's not just morally wrong, it's also bad for the entire country. Starving people drive up crime rates, spread disease, lower the effectiveness of public education, they create all kinds of follow-on effects that drag down everyone. So you get everyone fed. If we're giving food stamps to ten families and three or four or even eight are cheating, well, it'd be good if we could stop the cheaters but it's absolutely paramount that we don't take food from the mouths of the ones that aren't cheating. Reforms of government programs that stop cheaters without creating a burdens on the people genuinely in need can work. The kneejerk (Republican) response of just slashing government programs for the poor because of (wildly exaggerated but certainly actually happening on some level) cheating is ultimately counterproductive. Or tl:dr; I'd rather give nine dollars to cheaters to make sure someone who really needs it gets a dollar, than keep my ten dollars.

TeeMerk posted:Or you could just use it for food purchases that are non taxable? that varies a lot by state and the decisions about what is or isn't taxable are super weird and pretty stupid. But yes actually there are restrictions on what food you can buy with SNAP benefits already. Most of the stories about people blowing their food stamps on booze and cigarettes and lottery tickets are total bullshit. https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/eligible-food-items quote:Since the current definition of food is a specific part of the Act, any change to this definition would require action by a member of Congress. Several times in the history of SNAP, Congress had considered placing limits on the types of food that could be purchased with program benefits. However, they concluded that designating foods as luxury or non-nutritious would be administratively costly and burdensome. Further detailed information about the challenges of restricting the use of SNAP benefits can be found here: So basically it makes no sense trying to police exactly what foods people are allowed to buy with SNAP benefits if doing so costs far more than whatever is "wasted" buying foods we don't approve of. Not mentioned there but another factor is that most people getting SNAP benefits also have at least a little of their own money to spend on food. SNAP is supposed to be supplementary. If you have some of your own money and some SNAP money, then it's trivial to just buy the unapproved things with your own money and just buy the approved things with the SNAP money. So now you've created burdensome regulations that everyone involved hates (grocery stores, checkout clerks, SNAP beneficiaries, regulators) while not actually altering what people are buying and eating at all.

Yeah most of the anger comes from the overlap between people who are on assistance who are also smokers/dopers/boozers. They fail to realise that they also like to breed and will gently caress up their children without assistance. Also in terms of health education for children theres already starting to be a shift to positivity rather than criticism in the education i.e. dont tell the kid hes doing poo poo because he eats ice cream tell him hes doing well because he plays soccer and had a salad for lunch. Encourage healthy behaviour rather than the emphasis being on what not to do. Gad saads book on the consuming instinct and jordan petersons essays on maps of meaning and belief systems changed the way i looked at a lot of this poo poo. I used to be all for cutting welfare. Problems still abound with the food pyramid being taught etc. I still hear the myth about "eat small meals 5 times a day to keep your metabolism butning" parroted.

I will never understand how we can spend over a trillion dollars on an unwinnable perpetual war, but somehow it's bad and wrong to give single moms and and the innocent kids of addicts (if you can't somehow muster the empathy for addicts themselves) a couple hundred bucks per month for groceries.
