    A loud minority of chronically online people hated it. Most people couldn't care less or liked it.

    That's what I thought. Thanks for the feed back.
    This guy (gf's son) also thought Kamala Harris was a good candidate and a " smart cookie".
    Transplant from NJ to LA to be in the movies...oh, and a diehard Yankee fan.
    Do you know the way to San Jose ?

    Your stepson sounds a lot like one of those "white dudes for Harris"

    my cousin voted for trump
    she been in this country for more than 40 years
    all her brothers and sisters and her parents fixed their paper situation
    she never did
    shes always been the more irresponsible one
    the more liberal one who would party and go to clubs and drink and do drugs

    now she had to move close to her eldest son
    so his wife has to drive his mom to work
    mom still makes more money than any of her kids
    even though she is illegal and they are legal
    she makes dental implants at a local factory
    been doing it for 20 years and her legal status has never been an issue
    i havent asked her how she feels about trump now
    i know how her kids feel though
    specially her son and his wife
    he works doing ecommerce for east asians i like used to
    his job is entirely dependent on chinese supply chains

    she raised 4 kids by herself and government assistance
    and spent all her money making sure they always had birthday parties and everything else other kids with a dad would have
    single moms have all sorts of coping mechanisms that are not ideal but better than the situation they are already in
    still my cousin was always criticized by people in the family for wasting money on what they viewed as luxuries and always getting kicked out of apts or getting knocked up by assholes who would dip after she got pregnant
    now my mostly conservative family is pursing their lips trying not to talk shit about her and instead just say that its unfortunately that she never was responsible enough to fix her paperwork issues
    if only she would have spent a little of that money on her legal issues that she used to buy her kids toys and throw them parties for their birthday and taking them out to eat and to disneyland all the time then she wouldnt be in this predicament

    my other cousin who is responsible has a son who has multiple degrees and was a high school teacher for about a decade
    that son is currently living in the shed i was living in last year
    and doing the back to basics thing i did when i was his age
    checked out of the old world he was living in to find the new world
    have you ever been to El Salvador?

    spot on
    the more I watch what DT is doing the more I think its a master stroke of deception designed to bring china to its knees
    it was always unsustainable to allow them to call the tune for the world
    they've overextended themselves and while all this tariff is going on we're seizing back the Panama Canal and talking about Greenland
    truly think we're witnessing something much bigger than most all of us can conceive of so all this information is so interesting
    thanks again for posting
    starting to read on any sort of uprising possibilities

    Not my stepson, TB...just the gf's son. I'm not married. I always choose mortal sin...except when I was married for 43 years.
    The guy comes from a long line of " my mind is made up and no amount of logic or proven facts to the contrary will change it because I wear my ignorance proudly"...

    im pretty sure i read a book on the law that says if you illicitly shack up with a mother of a rebellious stiff necked dumbass it is a great help to society and a public service that makes you at least a venerable saint and one of the spiritual 144,000 earning you a a jesus on the cross exemption on your mortality and declared as a man heroic in virtue

    weird story out of eagle rock
    apparently cops were chasing a hit and run suspect and came upon Weezer bass guitarist's wife in her front yard w a gun
    some reports say she wouldn't drop the gun and some say she opened fire but they shot her...

    Yeah. Saw that story. Never listened to Weezer but despite that... gotta admit... anyone who draws down on cops at this point .... I guess you're a suicide waiting to get done for.

    Never understood what one thinks they'll gain by opening fire on police. Even in the very unlikely event that they win that gunfight, they'll basically be on the run for the rest of their life, or until LE catches them. The moment the weapon is pulled, their life is changed forever.

    yeah but I suppose its possible, even likely, that she may have been scared by all the commotion and was looking to protect herself
    I of course am just speculating but what if the nearly naked dude from the hit and run was trying to get in her house or hiding in the yard?
    first she pulled a gun, then the story changed to she fired at them...
    I'm typically mostly on the side of police when it comes to dangerous situations but this one seems off idk
    probably once a year my dogs flip out suddenly and I hear a weird noise
    I'm coming out strapped w super bright flashlight prepared to defend the homestead
    has to be caution both ways but these days you need to be prepared for anything imo
    still at least she wasn't killed and it doesn't seem like anyone is accusing cops of any wrongdoing
    will be interesting to see the body cam

    TBlue: 10 - Yuengling (hipster)
    BZoo: 12 -Genny Cream 4ever (Jerseyboy)
    FSU: Hamms (old bastige)
    Statman & JPL : 2 - PBR (frat boys)
    BDK: Colt 45 & Olde English 800
    Diablo: 9 & 5 - Tecate & Bohemia (IYKYK)
    Tafnac & VRP: 22 - Coors Light (budget conscious, Sunday sofa drinkers)

    First of all, PBR is about as hipster as you can get. And I'm about as un-hipster as can be. Secondly, I may have downed a few PBR's during the frat days, but due to budget constraints, the kegs were mostly Meister Brau, or if we could scrape together a couple more bucks, bud light. That said, even today I'm not into expensive beers. I'll order the occasional 805 or wheat beer, but to maintain my girlish figure, it's usually coors light, pacifico light, or corona premier. Plus my beer consumption usually is at the pool, at a music festival, or after a hard days work, and the last thing I want during those times is a heavy brew.

    Bohemia is a good beer but Tecate yuck
    drink a lot less beer these days, actually drink a lot less in general, but I like the 3 packs of talls like Pacifico, corona,805 and Stella
    its more expensive to buy that way but I do it mostly so I don't severely dent a 12 pack since I'm capable of doing exactly that on a given night for no special reason
    modelo is ok but it started tasting like bud to me and I hate that swill
    love red stripe and Asahi super dry it a must w sushi

    Used to get tall (16 oz) Hamms for $1.15 a sixer. Busch, too.

    More of an 805/Firestone DBA/Sierra Nevada man these days.
