I like how the government was asking them to LEND their boats. The reaction was "Fuck that, we're better at it than you."
Yeah I think I'm just looking for someone to blame. Trump seems like an easy target. That I know of, so far I have three close friends dead. More to come I'm sure unfortunately. Their fault for not evacuating. One died in a fire apparently. Fucking idiots. I told them to move. In related news, I'm cleaning up my yard and just encountered a 4 foot rattlesnake. I tried to kill it but didn't get close enough because I'm a chicken shit when it comes to things that can actually kill me immediately. It went into its nest though, where I found a lot of babies, and which I will soon burn out with a lot of diesel fuel. I got my 12 gauge hand for any stragglers that try to squirm away.
Careful, you may need that diesel fuel to run a generator before this is all hurricane is all finished.
Things are turning ugly in Houston. The rescue boats are having to halt some operations due to people rushing the boats, trying to steal them, and in some instances shooting at them. Why is it when humanity shows itself to be empathetic there's always those that are more then happy to crush their good will?
So let's see... people can't be rescued because looters are attacking the rescue boats because that gives them a more open field to steal and rob? If there is anybody who deserves to be put against a wall and shot, it's these fuckers.
Good. Unless it was people looking for something for their immediate survival, then all bets are off. If they're going through looking for valuables to steal, then fuck them.
I know some people in the Houston area who are, uhm... "gun enthusiasts"? I can confirm this is accurate, though I don't know of anyone who has shot anyone yet. So far the looters are just being drunk and aggressive. Apparently warning shots into what's left of the ground do the trick. I may or may not have video on my phone (they videod just to show someone was being aggressive toward them, and it wasn't pretty -- the looters were clearly drunk and had knives in the two videos I may or may not have seen). In Texas it's not only safe to assume that everyone is not just armed, but in fact has multiple guns they are very adept at using. Which makes it all the more funny that I'm hearing people are traveling to Houston just to loot. Like honestly.... do some people have a death wish?
They're carrying big screens down the street. Not running, but more like jubilantly walking with them. "Hey, shit is terrible, let's get some free TVs!" Looting always seems to have this sociopathic joy to it, which strengthens society's contempt for it.
Well yea, I get looting. I'd love to grab some consumer items and walk out and be like fuck you. Who wouldn't? Reminds me of a line from Sublime about the riots. "First spot we hit it was my liquor store I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford"
I literally have one of the best views of the Minni skyline from the roof of my place. I'm sure it'll be awesome to check out during the SuperBowl.
Now that it's in the gulf again I'm just curious what's gonna happen when it makes landfall again. There's apparently a lot of looters, and a lot of people with guns. I'm sure this will end beautifully.
Well, it finally happened. Ever since we as a nation found out Mike Pence calls his wife Mother, I have this group chat with one of my gay friends and a girl friend and he started calling us both Mother, we've been calling him Father, and we call each other Goodie [our name]. It cycled back and forth between being really funny and really unsettling to me and then eventually just became a regular old nickname that I don't really associate with its political origins too much or any kind of meaning to it anymore. Which led to just now, when I was talking to another friend, and without thinking said the line "Yeah I was with Father all day Saturday and he told me this story of how he managed to have buttsex with his roommate's friend in the span of time it took for her to run down to the bodega to get some beer and I just don't think I could physically manage to do that." There was some confusion.
Thankfully you deflected the conversation safely away from that and onto the topic of fucking Nazis. As in, actually, fucking, Nazis. I'm sure that immediately broke the tension in room.
She's familiar with the story already and makes much better jokes about it because there's actually some attempt at making them funny, doesn't repeat the same exact thing over and over for a year, and doesn't just force it in there with no tangible connection to what we're talking about.
Oh son of a bitch. Now my Facebook is getting flooded (sorry the pun) by videos of people catching fish in their houses with their hands. Because, Texas. Does look like fun though.
