That dude lived in a lovely part of Texas, and somehow never learned that big cities exist and are massively multicultural in Texas, as well as other places in the world.

LonsomeSon posted:Well friend, im gay Lol I'm a gay jewish poor person and I love living in Texas. I saw you say "no longer in Iraq" and thought maybe you'd actually seen some poo poo of the world we live in but then I realized you're probably just a lovely unemployed liberal arts major. Texas has gotten way better in the past decade and a half too. The only maelstrom of hate and bigotry I see in this thread is from nontexans like you. I miss Texas Friendtalk. I think the title of this thread feels more open and inviting to shitheads and nontexans than the old thread did.

Mattress Mac posted:Mattress Mack wants to do his part to boost our local economy by giving away Free Furniture to customers if the price of West Texas Intermediate Crude tops $85 per barrel at year's end. That's right, if you purchase $7,000 or more of furniture or mattresses from Gallery Furniture, Mack will give you back 100% of your purchase amount if oil prices go up! https://www.galleryfurniture.com/ Well Texas Goons Mattress Mac is at it again, only this time betting on oil. It seems like it could be a safe bet on Macs part, with West Texas crude sitting at $50.05/barrel currently, and with the oil industry, more than likely, continuing this downwards trend well into 2015. I think Mac has this one in the bag. e: http://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=crude-oil-west-texas-intermediate

Mattress Mac is so depressing these days. He always used to seem like he was having constant speedballs on the side. "KING SIZED MAHOGANY 999 GALLERY FURNITURE SAVES! YOU! MONEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!!!!!

Lol if you think modernity exists and that bigotry will be wiped out. Most people struggle just to survive day to day in Texas. That's what makes it cool (the struggle). Also I'm a middle class white male I'm doing good.

SaltLick posted:http://www.rodeohouston.com/Concerts.aspx I'm reel buttmad about the HLSR. My parents have worked it every year since before I was born as volunteers. Pretty much every day of every weekend while it was on I was out there with all the other volunteers and their families. And that poo poo was cosy as gently caress. The event was already huge as gently caress and had hundreds if not thousands of volunteers helping out, but the management and year-round office staff were confined to a couple dozen people, all of which the volunteers knew by name. Decisions were handled by the board of directors, most of whom were the rich big donor/spender guys you'd expect to be in that kind of position in Houston, but they were also volunteers and there was a feeling of everyone coming together to make this giant rear end event be a boon to the community. In the late nineties that all started changing. More and more of the money the rodeo made was funnelled away from the scholarships and charities as the office staff ballooned into hundreds of workers. Those workers then, rightfully fearing for their job safety, took a lot of the power out of the hands of volunteers and began using them as mere cogs in a money making machine. The most notable difference between the old Astro Hall and the new building isn't the nicer amenities and more centralized layout. It's a sprawling complex of rodeo offices all panelled richly with wood walls, fancy rear end carpet, and artwork. This sounds petty but in person the lavishness is quite stunning, particularly if you know what the old joint looked like. Which was a small and old if sturdy and well-maintained set of offices in the side of the Astro Hall facing the dome. These days, rationally speaking the event is probably better than ever. Bigger and more efficient, at least. The facilities are much nicer than the old ones, there's a lot of bighuge name sponsors and vendors, and the relative deficit in scholarship and charity money from the cuts has been offset by much greater gross incomes. But the price for that has been expensive as gently caress tickets, which the old rodeo never wanted to happen since it prices community families out of the events, a higher level of corporatization, less of a spirit of community activism, and so forth. It's more machine now than a living, breathing organization of and for people. The giant rear end money scoops are still working, the lights are still on, and it's business as usual, but it seems like most of the soul has been bled out of it.

Just pretend you've never heard of it and their existential dread will kick in once they realize they've staked their whole identity on inhabiting a massive state with absolutely nothing interesting in it.
