Individualism is radical and dangerous, but conformism is just being a good citizen.


Some of your points are good, but this is way off. We have probably the most individualistic society on the planet. Ironically, people try so hard not to conform that they end up conforming because trying hard not to conform is the norm.
There is vastly superior Mexican food in Denver.

Dove bar soap and a wash rag are essentials.

This. Healthcare is going to see a massive decrease in quality of care once the old white guys retire. Liberal universities have been pumping out retards for the sake of DEI for at least a decade now and it’s going to wreck this nation’s healthcare systems.


I’m not defending this chick with bad grades, but some of the worst doctors on Earth are old, overconfident white guys who look at you like a boat payment. Some of the better doctors I’ve been to are Indian women.
It matters to an extent. Above all certain threshold (higher than the girl in the video) it doesn’t really matter. There are a ton of people who can demolish a standardized test but are total dumbasses when it comes to application and navigating real world cases. A lot more goes into being a good doctor than what they can test for.

Personally I think they should build it in Addis, but then people would complain about all of the traffic getting dumped onto Bluebonnet. There is no solution that everyone will be happy with. Even less so when you consider that the bridge will have to largely be funded by tolls.


This was the only route that made any sense, but the folks around Bluebonnet/Nicholson shut that down real fast.
The dumbest part of this whole thing is how they seemingly got taken off guard that a series of 90 year old bridges had to go offline. Why didn’t they start planning for replacements 30 years ago like a normal state?
So sick of seeing her and her space alien looking co-star.

Obviously the Civil War, closely followed by Reconstruction.

The comments didn’t disappoint.

“This rescue could have been an email.”

Will they be re-doing it with programmable LEDs? I imagine the lighting system that’s on there is pretty archaic at this point, yes? Dates back to the early 90s if memory serves. Probably expensive to maintain and getting hard to find the old bulbs.

Came here for this comment.

Stay in school, kids.

I didn’t research it but comments claiming the father victim was a drug dealer. So not a totally random event.


1000% something like this. House is a shite hole. Nobody’s wasting their time robbing it at gunpoint unless they know something about what goes on inside.

I got a post-op infection after a tonsillectomy that made me wish I was no longer alive. Drinking water felt like swallowing glass.

I know people have been saying that for decades, but with Keith about to turn 83 and having arthritis, I dont expect them to go on a big tour again.


They should just prop him up on stage like they do Frankie Valli.
Rare these days. My attention span has become similar to that of a goldfish.
Great! Now you can expect to see more of them infesting Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee, North Carolina, etc.

California polices coming to a state near you, unfortunately.

We use a meal delivery service about once per week, on average. It can’t be an every day thing, but we can usually snag a two for one entree offer if we are flexible about the place from which we order. Plus our credit cards give us a monthly credit towards them.
It’s one thing to put something down with a clean shot. But I never understood how someone could stand there and actively drown an animal.
Heartbreaking news to wake up to. People are going to say what they will. He was definitely a polarizing guy. But at a human level, I’m sure we all know someone with a troubled kid. I’ve definitely feared for some couples’ safety before because of things their kids got into. Drugs make people unhinged. Sad that it came to this for this family.
