There are only 2 places in the world I think of as ugly - Afghanistan and Texas.
Dallas from the air looks awful.
Before Texas was a state, Mexico couldn't get anyone to settle in the area. They recuited Americans to come to the area
"In order to settle Texas in the 1820s, the Mexican government allowed speculators, called empresarios, to acquire large tracts of land if they promised to bring in settlers to populate the region and make it profitable. Moses and Stephen Austin contracted to bring "500 families on the vacant lands remaining within the limits of the colony already established." The contract stipulates that "The families which are to compose this Colony besides being industrious as he offers in his petition must be Cat[ho]lics, and of good morals." Stephen Austin established dozens of communities and brought thousands of settlers into the Mexican province of Texas. While Austin was loyal and committed to the Mexican Republic, by the early 1840s he was leery of the unstable Mexican government and advocated for the independence of Texas."

Do you think we ever find those 6million+ sloJoe voters that didn't show up for Camela?
Trump has long been known to like to use WWF's inflated speaking style - also borrowed by first rappers . Trump used to appear in WWF matches. People say that in person he's very mild mannered and good natured.
Trump also has an authoritarian manner that cracks some people's psyches open. If a guy speaks out boldly, with confidence and indifference to people's opinions, it makes some people resentful and resentment is a building block in fixations. Deion does the same thing with his deliberate "Prime" persona he invented at FSU.
Plus - in the simplest construction - the human psyche has male and female aspects. Politically the left is more feminine - its more emotional and they act as if they want to nurture people (its "for the children" etc). No surprise the base is mostly women - its the mommy party politically. The right is the daddy party that has more male voters and isn't arty, romantic etc. There's an old expression - "Women are poetry and men are deeds."
A lot of people have/had father issues and Trump touches that buried nerve in some. On 2016 a Hollywood therapist wrote about it:
"Clinical psychologist Philip Pierce says he was swamped with complaints from patients after Trump won. “It’s a traumatic experience,” he says. “The level of threat — or perceived threat — has gone up. I think you’ll see an increase in panic attacks.” Beyond general dissociative anxiety, some therapists say that the election also has been a trigger for patients with authority issues going back to their childhoods. “[Trump] has triggered certain responses of inadequacy from patients, and a lot of times the people that I see have had very authoritarian fathers,” explains Shaw. “Trump can be seen as this really intense father figure.”

All the mental health experts THR consulted after Donald Trump was elected agree that the population of this blue city is suffering from mood indigo and anxiety and offer tips for recovery.

That's it right there. I went through it myself with Reagan
Unemployment lasts 6 months. Anyone about to run out got fired under your boy sleepy joe. #nottarriffs
And maybe I was a little harsh on you and Pittsburgh. But as noted, this young family who spent most of their lives in the NYC area and Philadelphia absolutely love it in Dallas. This guy plays on in an adult baseball league, and he said there is a great mix of transplants from all over on this team. I spent time in Dallas over 30 years ago, and it is different now, but I remember positive things about Dallas.
Definitely agree that NJ has soul and character, and characters. We spend a lot of time in Arizona, and at times, it feels a little bland. Will give Pittsburgh some major props for food. Vaguely remember at the airport some chain had a kickass kielbasa sandwich.
Will have to ask my colleague what particular part of Dallas they are living in.
Was with you on the first two paragraphs, then you lost me. A lot of old video clips circulating on various social media sites when Pres Obama was cutting the size of the government and lots of jobs, and same for the Clinton/Gore administration. Pres Obama and Pres Clinton were fantastic orators. They could sell something even if it was something really crappy, and give people a happy feeling. Both came across as folksy and down to earth.Trump has long been known to like to use WWF's inflated speaking style - also borrowed by first rappers . Trump used to appear in WWF matches.

Trump is bombastic, in your face, take no prisoners. Every failure or mistake is someone else's fault, ignored, or glossed over with how great he is doing in another area. The Teflon Don was a good moniker for him.
Point isn’t that tariffs caused the layoffs, which they ultimately will once implemented. It's that the prospect of tariffs is making it more difficult to find a job, because companies are waiting and seeing.
Dude, I enjoy a lot of your posts which are usually very thoughtful. But respectfully, the bit about the left wing being mainly for "artsy" chicks and the right wing being mainly for "decisive" dudes (oversimplification intended) is some of the wildest amateur psychology and baseless stereotyping that I've seen in a while.
Overall, this has been a really interesting thread, which I don't usually say about the political posts. Both tribes are mostly attempting to make points responsibly...

Pittsburgh, IMO, is the most underrated east coast city
Like you said, great food and a ton of character
Also have an awesome sports scene and people, by and large, are extremely nice
Clinton could relate to the everyday man (and woman) - genuinely seemed like a good hearted, down-to-earth guy you'd like to have a beer with at a backyard bbq
O was captivating during his speeches - smart as a whip, but also seemed laser focused, (similar to Vivek in his approach, but not as talkative)
Every 4 years, it's the same thing
I'm in sales, and it's rinse/repeat
Election comes
People get nervous
Election ends
People still nervous
Eventually, people adjust
Might take longer w/tarrifs - not arguing that
We'll have to wait and see

I put in in the Atlanta category
Fun city, lots to do, but... can't put my finger on it, but it's almost like I can't figure out what sets them apart
Philly
NYC
Boston
Pittsburgh
Nashville
Miami
Seattle
LA
Vegas
All distinctive in what they're about
Can't figure out Dallas for the life of me
Kudos to Jaydog's / RU to the Core's general discussion on cities (I also love Pittsburgh, and feel like some of the newer southern cities are soulless extensions of northern cities), and also Ashokan's discussion of Texas. So interesting...
Love seeing different cities and the vibes there
The most underrated city that I've seen in the country, IMO (and granted, I'm sure there are some others that are great that I haven't seen) is Grand Rapids
Quick, cheap and direct flight out of EWR on United
Good food/beer scene
30 minutes from great lakes
Arena for sports/concerts and they have minor league baseball
JW right on the river is a super nice hotel
Ford museum is tremendous
Highly recommend for a 2/3 day getaway (during the summer months)
When I traveled to other cities for work I was surprised they closed at 6 pm. Obviously that is not any of the East Coast cities or Chicago.
I suggest @fg7321 change the title to free CE threat and start a new one.
Went to Dallas this fall for red river rivalry. Absolutely loved it. We stayed by highland park close to SMU. Was awesome
Yea…My company’s HQ is in McKinney…it’s ok…nothing to write home about but not terrible either
So once again al I ask this question….you ‘re ok with the billions of wasted tax dollars hidden over 5 previous administrations while you and others preach to Rutgers alums and fans about the financial deficit of our athletic programs? Laying out billions of tax payer dollars to others who are not entitled to them is one a big reason . This current job situation occurs when people who are supposedly elected to office fail to do their due diligence and squander it in places for their own personal piggy banks. It wasn’t caused by this current group in office. People , if they’re tough enough , and resolute enough will find other areas to explore. Highly educated college graduates should understand the real reason for this and it ain’t tariffs…
Unfortunately, most people are sheep
Hard-core, entrenched, and quasi brainwashedRepublicans and Democrats alike would be flipping out if the other party was pulling this kind of stuff, and accusing them of lying, hiding money, not knowing what they’re doing, etc.
Real talk here, if anyone actually is looking at what Trump is doing on a hole, and not judging from a political spectrum, overall so far, he has done a pretty bang up job
As usual, though, he continues to say stupid shit, lie out of his ass, exaggerate, and double down when either something is not working, or blame people immediately if it’s his mistake
I do not give two shits about what he says, who he blames, or anything else. My only concern is results and what is ultimately best for the country, and my family.
Others, however, and rightfully so as everyone is entitled their opinion, do care. What he fails to realize that their vote counts as much as my vote, and the things he does that are unpresidential often times over shadow all the good that he does.
Time will tell if these tariffs will work, but nobody on here, at least of all myself, or especially any of the Talking Heads on TV, know how they will ultimately play out
People lauding them as the best thing ever as well as people saying they’re the worst thing ever are the two worst culprits. He just initiated them recently and nobody has any idea what the hell the future will hold.
Best bet is the sit back and see what happens, without getting too excited or through depressed either way. Turn off the damn cable news and like KN said yesterday go take a walk or get some exercise. We are the greatest country in the world and will continue to be that hopefully for the rest of our lifetime on our children / grandchildren lifetime as well.
When I see the government workers and "leaders" protesting Musk and DOGE I think.. The government borrowed from future generations, our grandchildren and their children and grandchildren, to waste money on all this crap today.. to pay off all their politicial operatives.. like Stacey Abrams.. and you are out there protesting against cutting out all the crap?
Everything is falling apart with this administration.
What's next? Saw this on LinkedIn- must be true!
What's next? Saw this on LinkedIn- must be true!
Ummmm, why did the trophy come apart when he simply picked it up? 🙄Everything is falling apart with this administration.
What's next? Saw this on LinkedIn- must be true!
There is nothing wrong with having differences of opinion but this has deteriorated more and more each decade . The sad part is seeing my generation out there thinking they’re still back in 1967-68… now we have the exact situation Europe has had to deal with Visa guests and illegal border crossers attempting to cause harm, shutdown speech all through the threat of violence.
Well I agree- when the guy with dementia was running the country we had COVID and 15% unemployment and he printed money to hand out $1200 for not working.
It's working beautifully.
We saw it in Wisconsin.
As the economy circles the drain and people are sent to gulags, read from your pages. Your Bible- not those Two Corinthians, but projection- your cult leader is demented, so call others demented.
Your cult leader can't ever win a majority of the vote, so criticize those who do.
Rinse, repeat, and lose seats in PA and IA once held by the cult.
How's those egg prices? Oh right the demented felon wants to import them with his Chinese hats.
And also he had no idea he was appointing the prosecutor who let him off to his cabinet.
But it's everyone else who is demented.
And oh he's really 6'3 and 225 lbs too!
I don't think so, because as you see here, facts don't go in with these people.
We have a whole "manosphere" of Joe Rogan et al, translated into Spanish and other languages and among other sources, where people are told that any Dem controlled egg prices. And people bought it. And now, apparently, regret it bigly.
The media- both the mainstream variety and defamers like Fox and the podcasts- tried to erase 2020 from everyone's memory. And now, people are going to look back on that recession fondly.
We're going to be a thermostatic country because of TikTok etc. If there's another election, the next President is going to make AOC look like Joe Manchin and round and round.
Though, hopefully, the next admin just sends this one to a foreign prison, because apparently that is OK.
Says the guy who voted for "we're an institution in death penalty"; Thighland; Yo Semite, etc. Your lack of self awareness is astonishing.
You showed them!
Finally kids in Africa won't have American vaccines. Instead, they'll have Chinese ones, and their propaganda to boot.
Inflation is down. It's 2.4%. Your fellow conspiracy theorist made a thread about it.
Don't worry though it's about to skyrocket!
Yes, and what if Chris Ash used his nutrition plan to win us a national championship?! Now we'll never know!!!!
This and Al's post about customizing your resume for each application...That is a big NO NO NO - AI and good recruiters will pick up on this almost immediately. It is good to ask chatgpt to compare your resume and the JD and if you are missing anything or that you should highlight certain experiences. But NEVER use chatgpt to to match keywords. Also- if and when using AI to write your resume for a job- tell it very specifically, not to change any details.
There two things that I also suggest. If your experience goes to pre 2000...Only itemize jobs with start end dates that started after 2000. For anything prior to that- have an "Additional Experience" section and add those in at the bottom with no dates.
And NEVER put a date graduated on a resume or application.
it is only in response to the trumpettes that like to use Biden as a comparison to their great leader.
I think it was Einstein who said the simplest truths are the hardest to see.
Just a breakdown of college majors shows the difference - women dont like engineering as much as men and men don't go for social work. 82& of social workers are women. On a basic level women are for babies and children and men are for hunting, building wars etc. A society that send the women out to war and the men stay home with the kids wont last long.
Men respond more to visuals like porn and women like wordy romance novels where some beast is brought to his knees lol . Around 70% of CompSci majors are male and around 70% of English majors are male. Women have double the amount of mood disorders and med use and men are more prone to addictions.
A male can be an artist of course and a woman can be a systems admin but the arts vs engineering areas would still have their characteristics . The arts appeal (seduce even) to people mostly via emotions. Movies, plays, music and such make people feel things. The people who make those things spend a lot of time in thoughts and feelings and it can be dangerous. People in the arts are known to have more psychotic illnesses. The substance abuses, suicides', depression shows in studies as well as anecdotally.
The suffering artist is real but its not because of genius. Emotions create thoughts an thoughts emotions which make more thoughts and so on down and down down into the machinery we go. Arty people can sink down into their own machinery they think they are rising and all even deeper. The easiest people to hypnotize are the intellectual culture types. Throw some some thoughts and feelings and they are on their way to inside their head. Its hard to do that to a farmer.
Right now women are being stressed to "save things" a lot and that's an appeal that works well with them (and a reason they get stuck trying to save bad guys). There are many political appeals about saving things mostly aimed at women. The stress has really been getting to then and their med use has gone up a lot (and it was already high. 1 in 4 women over 40 are on meds. I have trouble with clients who are women because many have been on meds for over a decade and they are zonked.
"129.6% - The increase in the trajectory of antidepressant use by teen girls ages 12 to 17 from March 2020 to December 2022, compared with the monthly rate of change from January 2016 to February 2020. For females ages 18 to 25, the average monthly rate of change in antidepressant use was 56.5% over the two time periods."
In comparisons between JB and DJT there is no honest response ever by the FLFNM , FL shills . They never have a solution…NEVER… their dogma is for shutting down actual constructive discourse. They will accuse you of the same things they would like or now realize should have been done when they had the “ magic power” of the WH. Did you actually believe JB would be able to lead for 4 more years? Admit it they lied , attempted control , and believed legitimate USA Citizens , even without a college diploma would not see it for what his / her campaign was… utter BS. I sure as hell would love KH , Walz or several others to run again . This way DJT can run for a 3rd term in office?
you are assuming that we know what the definition of a woman is. Apparently that's not so easy for some these days.
I didn't go to an Ivy lol
But to be fair I had some great Ivy profs from back in the day
Currently I like some of the Yale YT courses on history and especially from Paul Freedman and Joanne B. Freeman
They confirm my long held belief that the smartest profs make complicated things easy and clear.
