To be clear...

The fact that Texas is not allowed to see pornhub is probably the funniest thing ever.

VPN services are going to sharply spike up so places like NordVPN might clear some cash. (Short the downside when everyone figures out the free versions and they come up short on earnings in two quarters)

Texans should not tolerate such massive overreach. Texans should specifically protect their rights. They should get very loud and very vocal. Abbott clearly doesn't understand fully mobilized groups of pissed off people angry at him.

I hope they show him.

"There isn't enough..." You say, and have three people rush to prove you wrong because they exclusively have experienced this thing.

I mean I am glad they have seen it, but that doesn't mean others shouldn't as well.

Houston is going to be hot. But it's a lot of fun and things to do there.

Walking past someone and just *zing* something goes off in your mind and you can't think properly. Or seeing photography haunt your memories...

There are so many explanations for the unexplained.

That is very smart, it's hard to claim lack of progress when progress is bright and shiny and in your face.

Many years ago, almost more than I want to admit, I was on the phone with a very angry person.

I worked in a CSR role, handling customer complaints about various products. It was a terrible job that paid exceptionally well and allowed me to utilize my people skills.

I have a few personal quirks. Some of them are useful, some of them are less than useful. One of the more useful quirks is my confidence in self.

I'm not afraid of you, I'm very difficult to intimidate.

One day, a police officer was on my phone. He had a problem with his purchase and he felt compelled to abuse someone about it.

I explained that the policy was against him and he wouldn't be able to move forward. He complained and threatened to file a lawsuit. I politely explained that his original threat of a lawsuit is what prompted my call and that I wanted to make sure he understood the situation.

He did not. He persisted in threatening to sue me personally, sue the company I worked for, just really make his point. So he could properly sue me, he explained that he needed and was legally authorized to know my full name and physical address. (Remember how I said he was a police man?)

I chuckled slightly at his overreach and calmly explained that would literally never happen. To be fair, I shouldn't have chuckled. It was slight, it wasn't cruel... but it was wrong.

He then threatened my safety and my life. He used language that made it clear he was unwilling to reaction rationally and I froze his accounts with the legal warnings and forwarded him to the security team.

A few months later, I was informed they had pursued charges against him. My audio recordings were being used to protect others from people like him.

Whenever I see threats like the one Donald Trump made against the #DOJ -- I think about those months.

This is a very dangerous and unserious person. He should not be allowed to walk free with public access to resources if this is how he spends his time.

I think enough time has past.

Yes reply-guy, I *did* know that it was a euphemism. I was being silly and trying to use feigned ignorance/cluelessness for humor.

I appreciate(d) the three replies, though. Honest.

I'm not going to find the article but I would like to make a general statement.

If you are a billionaire and you are "tired of remote workers" I highly recommend you sacrifice yourself to the local volcano of your choice.

Okay seriously, what?

Thing 2 just told me they are making a Passion of the Christ 2.

*HOW*? I'm not trying to be mean but like... is Jesus coming back and shooting the place up Michael Bay style?

Isn't the whole resurrection thing still TBD? How can they have an angle here that isn't comedic and silly?

Remember to stay hydrated! And take a lot of pictures. I love beachs
