There's an anecdote I read about the 2008 war between Russia and Georgia. The Russians were shelling Gori, Stalin's hometown that also contained a statue of Stalin that had never been removed, so the Georgian forces hopped on the Russians' radio net and sarcastically gave them the coordinates to the statue, like "hey, while you're devastating the town ... would you mind targeting this location?" In the event of the Texas Civil War of the future I'm making a mental note to do that when the Chud forces deploy their artillery in Stephenville or wherever.

I mean yeah he originally became famous because he was both apparently actually a superhuman sniper but more importantly was right into the second amendment gun-loving Trump-voter crowd so he was a cultural fellow of these folks and also literally everything they wanted to be.

Remember when Chris Kyle lied about his medals and some of his experiences in the military and the DoD was just like "ehhh he makes us look good" and retconned history by backing him up

Bad night for Dems in Wilco. The 3 endorsed candidates for Cedar Park City Council lost, and the good candidate for Georgetown City Council lost by 18 votes. At least they were competitive. On the flip side there was a well-attended demonstration against the ICE detention facility in Taylor.

Could be, hard to tell the difference between lack of enthusiasm and lack of competence.

I was around last year for the upsets; two women that I think were educators ousted two cop-endorsed pigmen. They did their victory party at the Dig Pub. Did these people lose or were they other places up for election?

Aliquid posted:Good read: That was an amazing read. I now understand the power of “I could have a best with him.” People want someone they can relate to and feel would look out for them. A tattooed dude who defended the little guy and wore a Dallas Cowboys jersey to his ceremony is seemingly better than the stuffy, stick up his rear end incumbent Democrat who talked about how his opponent was in a gang and had all of these tattoos. The way I see it, by painting Gonzalez in a negative light with such coded language, the incumbent might as well have been talking about his constituents.

BCBS of Texas is going to start charging people 100% if they go to an out-of-network emergency room for a problem that "isn't an emergency". I don't think it affects all BCBS customers, but check with your payroll department to see if you are affected. I had a kidney stone last year and I went to Brackenridge, not knowing what was going on with me. Even with my insurance (BCBS), it cost me about a grand with all the copays and balance billing. And they did nothing for me besides provide me a bed to writhe around in pain on for a few hours. Kidney stones usually aren't life-threatening so does that mean I'd've been on the hook for all of it under this policy? I don't think it's a good idea to have individuals with no medical training try to decide whether or not something is worth going to the ER because if it isn't, it's going to cost them thousands and thousands of dollars. "Better stay home, it's probably fine" *dies from easily preventable cause*

You probably should have went to an urgent care first before you went to the ER. You should only go to the ER if they are having a "true" emergency(bleeding out, heart attack, etc.)
