I'll concede Thundercloud, but Kerbey Lane is most definitely a hipster stop. It's not nearly as bad as the yuppie places like Uchi, though. I lived across Jolleyville from the old 183 location, maybe I'm still pissed that they moved across the highway and a couple miles north.

Uchi may be "yuppie" but I went there last year and it was some of the best food I've had in my life (easily top 3). And I've been to some nice rear end restaurants.

I don't eat out much, but I stood in line forever at Pint House Pizza and it was fantastic despite swimming in bad beards. I guess the best part was that it was cheaper than I expected.

zoux posted:Working for me? try this Thanks! That one worked. And thank you, Aliquid, too! That statewide list was especially helpful. Looks like most of the places I frequent are not allowing it. Does this also count for their parking lots? I'm imagining protests outside of the businesses during the year.

I guess it's nice to have the option to open carry a .357 and AK to the grocery store. If I didn't., the terrorists would win or Obama would steal them while I was out or something.

How insecure do you have to be to want to carry a pistol in a holster when you go shopping? Old timers driving around with rifles on racks in the cab of their trucks is one thing, but who actually needs to walk around town carrying a weapon other than that that rear end in a top hat with the fedora that kept showing up at Whataburger with his neckbeard friends?

It's the exact same overcompensation mentality that gets people to drive lifted pickup trucks with "truck balls". If you have to flaunt your masculinity, perhaps you aren't that masculine...

If I'm a crazed shooter I think open carry isn't going to have the desired "oh no that guy has a gun, I shouldn't go through with my plan" effect and more of a "oh, that guy has a gun, better make sure to get him first" effect. Concealed carry just seems to make more sense in that not only does it have the potential for more life-saving situations but it also bothers/stresses the public less.

The "reasonable" open carry people want the law so they can take their jacket off while getting gas or whatever and not get in trouble for having a visible gun. The insane, or usual, open carry people want everyone to know they have a gun because being a gun guy is a major part of their identity. Either way, I'd be shocked if there are 1000 people open carrying in Texas after the novelty has worn off.

I don't know if he has a license to carry the gun and I'm sure all the pro-gun people would agree it's better to be safe than sorry.

Oh I think you should. I think these people should find that carrying a gun openly is such a pain in the rear end that it's not worth the statement.

I keep hearing a clip of Patrick from I guess over the weekend and in advance of the now released details of Obama's executive order saying they intend to make guns easier to get. Does anyone have any clue at all how exactly they intend to do such a thing?

Here's one for the "Austin is so segregated" crowd...quote:Dallas Struggles to Overcome Segregated Legacy There's more, and it's pretty good. Here's an interesting fact... quote:In Austin, the city council tried to address it with an ordinance that forbade landlords from discriminating against a tenant based on their source of income. That would mean they could not reject tenants simply because they were paying their rent with a government subsidy.

It's almost as though the point was that Austin is no better than the rest of Texas, not that Austin is uniquely horrible.

If you don't think Austin is better than the rest of Texas, you're either a religious gun-nut (Dallas) or a pollution-loving oil & gas worker (Houston). There's also San Antonio I guess, but that's... well, San Antonio.

And there's a sort of city-sized nationalism that plays a role. People attach part of their identity to where they live and get mad if other people bash it, which is understandable. Despite being very liberal when I've been in other states and someone talks poo poo about Texas I get uncomfortable. I almost turn into this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ_PwD0gOSo And related to this is a need to denigrate your rivals who are close by to boost yourself. I think this is really monkey-brained stuff, like the apes fighting at the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's just not sensible. enraged_camel posted:If you don't think Austin is better than the rest of Texas, you're either a religious gun-nut (Dallas) or a pollution-loving oil & gas worker (Houston).

Every major city in Texas with the exception of Ft. Worth is majority blue and voted that way in the last two national elections. Dallas has a fantastic gay community, and Houston just saw the end of term of their gay mayor (who served the maximum amount of terms possible) who is being succeeded by a black man. The narrative that Austin is some lone liberal bastion in a sea of red is laughably overblown. It's just that they're VERY concerned that you know they're liberal, and the other cities don't care.

I really only hear the "blue in a sea of red" thing from non-Texans who moved here from out of state to justify moving to Texas/why Austin is ok despite Texas Bad. Personally I grew up in Houston and have lived in San Antonio and Austin, and while I prefer Austin I like them all for what they are.

Austin has some quirks but the differences in cities is often talked about as differences between the people who live in them. I used to think more like that, but looking back I realize we highlight those difference for pretty ugly, vain reasons. Fact is that people are pretty much the same everywhere. The real differences are material, spatial, etc.
