All great options. I’ll throw in two here. Cocaine and Able by Amigo the Devil and Broken Window Serenade by Whiskey Myers.
- Comment on Should you look for a relationship if it feels like a compromise? 2 days ago:
It is exhausting. I’ve been in a relationship where my partner had no one but me. I don’t consider myself super outgoing but I have plenty of friends that I enjoy spending time with. I like playing music on the weekends. I like going to do things, sometimes last minute. I got fat and depressed because she just wanted to sit at home and for me to sit home with her.
It soured me on relationships for a bit. The next one was the opposite. She wanted to be out every night and didn’t understand I had to work. She never ever wanted to just hang at the house. It was also exhausting.
I’m open to a relationship if the person has similar patterns or doesn’t want me next to them 24/7. I can handle if they’re an independent person, but currently everything feels like either far too much or far too little so I’ve been doing my own thing for a while. I’ve got someone that I’m casual with. It’s perfect for now.

Years of drinking destroyed mine, and it’s all my fault. I would also try it.

Is this another US thing where employers require you to purchase the vehicle before you can work for them?
Not bus drivers, but some truckers are owner/operators.

Oh shit, I read it wrong! I stand by it though. They were all Lyle’s.

White trash me: what’s the issue?
Same, buddy. We used to do this, except it was three quarters lemonade and a quarter whatever cheap liquor everyone brought. So you’d have whiskey, both light and dark rum, vodka (lots of vodka) tequila, gin if one specific guy showed up… Pretty much anything cheap.
Trash cans are not safe to drink out of.

No, no, this time Star Trek will be woke. I can tell by the trailer. It’s never been woke before.

- Comment on CEO Brags That He Gets "Extremely Excited" Firing People and Replacing Them With AI 4 weeks ago:
I can tell you it’s been pretty great to me. A bit of hard work and a bit of luck and now I’m doing well. I’ve got a long term contract with one company and take short term stuff that looks interesting or pays for my vacations.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 4 weeks ago:
I mean, how long did it take the cops to get there? Because .42 is crazy fucking high. It can absolutely kill you it’s so high. She would have had to have more than 10 drinks in an hour for that. That’s about two thirds of a fifth between the time it was called in and when the cops got there.
I’m not saying it’s not doable. I’m saying if she did that she was trying to die.

I once paid a bar tab with my guitar skills. Does that count?
- Comment on Easy mistake to make 4 weeks ago:
Is that a thing now? I don’t keep up. I’m ready to cut it clean again. Not because of any coded thing, but because it’s hot as fuck. But I have to keep it a few more days, then I need to find the time to get it cut.

No, it was very serious. Big red flag. He should hit a lawyer, delete a gym, and social media up.
- Comment on Easy mistake to make 4 weeks ago:
However it was calibrated before I can promise it’s even worse now. I’m a straight dude. I’m a dudely dude. I dress like an extra on My Name is Earl. Other than crocheting and sewing my hobbies are all very “guy” hobbies. I’m currently sporting the worst mullet you’ve ever seen (it was a bet, ok?).
However, I get told with alarming regularity “I thought you were gay”. I think it’s because I’m friendly without trying to get in anyone’s pants.

- Comment on 6G mobile could divide the world 5 weeks ago:
5g is fine (not great, but fine) on my phone until I get millimeter wave. The mw in the HEB parking lot down the street is amazing. If I get into the city proper it’s a crapshoot if I am able to get on the Internet.
- Comment on HOA fines man over handing out water in heat 1 month ago:
I didn’t know it started as a way to keep non whites out. That’s interesting.
I’ve lived in a town where people leave broken down cars under chest high grass. Where toilets with a handful of wildflowers planted in the middle counted as a lawn ornament. Ridiculous shit like that. I prefer that to an HOA.

And a lot of recruiting companies are afraid you’ll bypass them and go apply directly, thus cutting out the middle man and they’re not allowed to send out goons to break your kneecaps.
- Comment on Hmmm who could it possibly be? 1 month ago:
That’s no fucking joke. I started with a passion for learning about computers. I love what I do now because I’m a one man company and answer only to myself and my contracts, but I didn’t turn on a computer outside of work for fucking years because of the burnout.
- Comment on Let people enjoy things 🙄 1 month ago:
I used to be the kind of person who hated anything popular. And in Texas country music has always been popular. So I mercilessly mocked anyone who enjoyed it. “So is your cousin any good in bed?” “What has 103 fingers and 32 teeth? The front row at a Garth Brooks concert.” I have dozens of jokes about being stood, inbred, toothless, smoking cigarettes, going to Walmart, and other stereotypical things associated with being a country music fan.
I’m still not a fan but sometime in the last 10-12 years or so I stopped giving a shit what anyone else liked. If it’s not for me but it’s not hurting anyone I just don’t care if someone likes country or pop, movies with popular actors, wants to dress in a way I see as weird, likes food that I don’t enjoy, or whatever.
I wish I could go back and change it because I know I made some people feel bad for enjoying what they like.
