@BuenoForMiami One big reason why teachers are leaving the profession like they are is a direct result of adults not spanking their children and to a lesser extent, teachers unable to strike students either like they used to.

Spanking your kids is teaching them to resolve their emotional conflicts with violence. You’re not parenting them, you’re teaching them the same traumas your parents put on you. It’s time to evolve and teach kids to deal with their emotions in a meaningful and positive way.

@ScottPresler Early voted for Paxton last week. Please God make the text messages stop

ROLL CALL: Who voted today in Texas? (The polls are open until 7 p.m.)

@USOPM all i want to see is how much better you are at encrypting information than in 2014.

Same mission, different marketing✨🇺🇸

@AmericaTex4ever It's rino poaching season

Here's what I know. 1. Paxton is an unethical crook and cheater who just cut a plea deal with a pedo 2. If Paxton wins tomorrow, Talarico will beat him in November 3. Cornyn needs to win for us to have a chance to win in November If you vote for Paxton and he wins tomorrow, congratulations, you just helped turn Texas blue.

@ScottPresler @lilysm1965 Any patriot would be proud to break their foot in kicking a heavy boulder like her out of this state.

BREAKING If Ken Paxton wins by +10, democrats have pledged to LEAVE Texas & find another home. This is a huge endorsement for Ken Paxton!

@BananaGirthy @patrickbetdavid Yes I sit in traffic like that and it's still fun.

@patrickbetdavid Have you been in rush hour traffic for 1.5 hours each way in a manual in recent times? Unless you got a 600+ horsepower beast or classic muscle car it makes no sense other than nostalgic Steve McQueen mentality, which I support

Call me old school, but I want manual transmissions to make a comeback. Anyone who can drive a stick shift uphill without stalling is made for greatness.

@MayorFrey Remembering a crack addict? Is that what you're doing?

Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago.   That moment changed our city forever.

My first real job was doing high pressure gym sales. You hear a lot about jobs where you're only as good as your last days sales, but this job took it to the extreme. The turnover rate was extreme with "trainers" being swapped out every couple of weeks. I put the word trainers in quotations because their sales people were called trainers because we'd give them two free 30 minute training sessions when you'd sign up. Our only qualifications were that we had to look like we worked out a lot. The pay scale was simple. Eight dollars an hour vs. unlimited commission. Eight dollars an hour isn't much, but realistically if you weren't earning over that in commission you'd only have to deal with low wages for a couple of weeks. They had a zero tolerance policy for low sales. At eight dollars an hour, I earned 100k my first year. I couldn't legally drink, but I was raking it in. Yeah, I hustled. The manager was an absolute wreck of a human. Addicted to coke and oxy, but man he was loaded. He could sell anything. I hadn't seen Glengary Glen Ross yet, but he was the gym sales version of Alec Baldwin. He'd hold motivational meetings like the Always Be Closing one in the film. The same level of disdain towards us. If we talked about our referrals not coming in or calling back, he'd burst into a tirade. "Look outside! Do you see how many fat people are walking around? Every single one of those fat asses is a sale. If you can't close them, tell me now and you can walk out the door right now and do something better suited for you." There were no rules at this point. Consumer agencies hadn't cracked down on how predatory we were. We were told to do anything to get a sale, and it didn't matter if it came down to insulting them into a two year contract. If they said they had to think about it, the rate of return was around 5% and belittling them worked around 8% of the time so it was better to go with that. I had a fat woman tell me she had to think about it and was gathering the flyer and her car keys from the sales table. I palm up open handed gestured towards her stomach and asked "Do you really think you have more time to think about this?" She signed a two year contract, with down-payment and never even showed up for a session. It sounds awful and it really was. I was 18 and it was my first job. Making that much money working part time hours was insane and hard to resist. These were the wild west days of gym memberships. Back before zero contracts or no money down. Back before gyms were considered a safe space. If we didn't perform, we were kicked out without warning. Every day was chaos. I could never work in that kind of industry again. My own personal morals would stop me. But looking back now, compared to today, I can't believe how crazy the industry was. We made so much money. We had so much fun.

@9mmsmg Nothing worse than cracking or flipping an egg and the yolk fractures which makes it impossible to cook that egg over easy.

The perfect egg is over easy. When I say over easy, I mean very easy. A quick flip just to solidify the whites. Maybe 8 total seconds in the pan with the burner off. The yolk should run all over the plate when pierced. I always see sad eggs online. Fried hard with everything crispy, and the yolk basically hard boiled. Why would you do something so terrible? It's like a well-done filet mignon. I'd write about my disdain for egg whites alone, but it's still early, and I don't want to ruin my day. An example of the perfect egg below:

@DocStrangelove2 Gonna put "Be McReady" on my hardhat and anyone who gets it and doesn't think it's a McDonald's pun is gonna be my friend.

Seen The Thing trending again, so never a bad time to mention that they not only properly decock the revolver, but also the actor put extra attention of the hammer from dropping given his scared state too. Real attention to detail.

@T_Nation Avoid because it's literally poison

What's your stance on alcohol: A. Avoid B. Enjoy regularly C. Save for special occasions And how did you come to that decision?

@raven_brah You can still make the switch, it isn't over for millennials.

Tell younger generations their entire lives that they need to go to college to get a good job, go into tech to make money, learn to code. Remove trade classes from high school curriculum to help facilitate this. Rug pull them by hiring only foreigners for those jobs or offshoring them completely “Hey man nobody forced you to go to college you should have gone into the trades”

@captive_dreamer Had a roommate who was a Bernie supporter but he was sorta red pilled on blacks and women. Deep down I always thought he showed up to the hippie rallies just to get laid.

This one sums it up for me. Bernie Sanders out there doing the "Democratic Socialism" bit and talking about Unions and "Healthcare" and two BLM activists went up to the podium, stole the mic from him and started screaming about "racism" and black power. Ended his campaign.

@MITACLLC @ATFHQ Nothing will send an @ATFHQ agent out to lunch faster than then scrolling past a bunch of teens showing off fun switches.

Hey @ATFHQ why the fk you constantly turn a blind eye to the common use of illegally converted machine guns in the ghetto? Are you pussies too scared to stack up and go enforce the law? Justifying your existence by going after bump stocks and FRT’s is the reason your agency is despised.

@texasrunnerDFW Yes you need to either lift weights or get into some kind of sport that fitness is necessary for.

Once you’re past 35, are you just going to keep being gradually more tired every year for the rest of your life or is a there a second wind somewhere? Anybody suddenly stumble upon newfound energy in their 40s? 50s? 60s, maybe with retirement? Naturally, no HRT or hacks

@SaraForTexLege @briana__gomez Public schools closing is a good thing though. Administrators have zero balls and are perfectly willing to throw seasoned teachers under the bus if a completely baseless accusation of racism is made against a teacher. Let them fall.

Corpus Christi is running out of water. Public schools are closing all over the state. People are being taxed out of their homes. Kids are going hungry and seniors are choosing bankruptcy or cancer treatment. And this is what the TX GOP wants to talk about. Vote wisely.

@mattparlmer For every person speaking out, there's like 100 people nodding in agreement. This phenomena can be observed just by looking at the likes on a post. Most people don't voice their opinions.

Fwiw basically nobody in the tech industry has these views about immigrants even if they are concerned about the very real problem of ethnic cliques at big companies It’s almost entirely a group of very loud internet chuds

@SweetTexanRose All of those guys walk like they have 10 men walking behind them.

I can’t decide which one I’m more impressed with, the lineman or the pilot. 🤯

@avidseries It isn't talented immigrants. It's immigrants who are beholden to job performance because their visa dictates they have to stay employed. In other words, if you stop treading water, you're gone. That isn't talent, that's indentured servitude

It's almost impossible to view these people as anything other than insecure downwardly-mobile losers afraid of competition from more talented immigrants.

@EthanPlaysMTG @Polymarket Perhaps this mass firing is the first step in us not tolerating it

@Polymarket HR was made by women to give women something to do in the workforce. Being paid to nag and complain is wild. Why did we ever tolerate it?

JUST IN: Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow fired the company’s entire HR team because they were “creating problems that didn’t exist.”
