Greg from Austin

I work in insurance. I can promise you if the dog bit the UPS driver, he'd have a slam dunk lawsuit on his hands. Multiple things can be true at once: I love dogs, and I hate seeing them hurt. AND this dog was not under the control of the owner. It doesn't matter if he was on his own property. This is not a case of the dog attacking a home invader. The UPS driver has a legitimate reason to be on the property. Leaving your dog off leash is a high-risk low-reward action. The best example I know of from my work was a large dog (145+ pounds) lazing in a garage while the homeowner was doing yard work. The dog heard a Harley Davidson approach, ran out into the street right in front of the bike, the rider couldn't avoid it, hit the dog and went over the handle bars and broke his back. The dog died, and the homeowner settled a million dollar lawsuit. Keep your dog fenced or leashed. It is seriously not worth it.

@HPluckrose Okay, I'm glad you enjoyed it Helen, but you don't need to put ranch on the brisket. If you're going to tell me iced tea is wrong, I have to respond in kind for the sake of my culture.

OMG! 18-hour smoked brisket with fried pickles, waffle fries and “rayanch” sauce. This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten.

@BuzzardGroyper @wil_da_beast630 @benshapiro Hey! At least you tried.

@wil_da_beast630 @benshapiro Deep down they loathe you, and no matter what happens, you’ll pathetically continue to believe that to them you’re more than just their useful token schvartze breathlessly barfing their pro-ZOG propaganda. Sssssssucka! 🤣🫵🏻

Nope. Just you.

@slidecube l hate it when people don't know the difference between “your” and “you're”. Their so stupid

What's a mispronounced word that makes somebody appear extremely uneducated

@Quillette Why is soccer the only sport where people who hate it try to convince fans of the sport that they should hate it too. Just don't watch it you fucking whiny asshole.

Every four years the world gathers to remind Americans that soccer is boring. The World Cup arrives, a billion people weep with joy, and everyone who wasn't indoctrinated before the age of six sits there waiting for something…anything to happen. Then suddenly it almost does. Then just as quickly it doesn't. Then it almost does again. This is the rhythm of the world's most boring game. It's “the beautiful game,” and for most of my adult life I’ve been patiently informed, usually by someone who calls it fútbol, that I simply lack the sophistication to appreciate it. But they’re wrong. Soccer isn’t beautiful. It’s boring, and it has nothing to do with sophistication. - @RLynch43576

@ClayTravis They fouled the Argentine player in the turnover, then scored from the resulting attack. It was the right call.

How was this goal taken away?!

@wil_da_beast630 Mexico is our biggest rival in international soccer. Unless you have Mexican heritage you can't cheer for them. To real US soccer fans this is tantamount to treason.

Real question for the page: with Team USA NOT playing, what's the even theoretical issue with rooting for a friendly state? Would anyone have had a problem with his wearing a 3 Lions England shirt?

@michaelmalice @teafortillerman @grok It's kind of beautiful that you can ask Grok to explain something to a person, and watch that person have a whole conversation with it and never back down despite being proven wrong repeatedly.

@teafortillerman hey @grok explain to @teafortillerman how that account wasn't merely saying "the vaccine was probably a small net positive"

800k follower account trying to cancel a business over a 30-follower guy's saying "the vaccine was probably a small net positive" is truly insane behavior, worthy of only the most degenerate leftist. Touch grass.

@GadSaad As an Arsenal fan, I hate that I have something in common with Piers Morgan.

I'm aware but the comparison is rather stretched.

My wife is a direct descendant Austin Roe. I come from Irish immigrants fleeing the famine. Would it be racist to teach my son to be proud of the American heritage on his mother's side of the family? You were proud of your grandfather's service in WW2 and you should be. Maybe I missed something, but I don't understand your point. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Roe

You deleted the post that I was responding to. You replied directly to me with something along the lines of "Yeah, I do think it's pretty cool" and then deleted that. Now you're showing me this. Is this a retort? Your grandfather sounds like a cool guy. Were you expecting me to be hostile to his service or something?

@TerribleMaps At least you remembered that Alaska is America in the map this time.

Who everyone is supporting in today’s USA vs Belgium match

@_StewNotStu @NoContextBrits I bet you thought you sounded awfully clever with this response. Bless.

@slidecube @NoContextBrits I’m sure all scholars of antiquity agree to defer to the opinions of Greg from Austin on these matters. No structure from 560, or indeed before that, could possibly ever exist without his say-so.

America is 250 years old. This pub is 1,466 years old.

All of human history is a blink of an eye in the context of the age of the Earth. The age of the United States is short compared to the age of England, sure. The United States went from crossing the country in covered wagons to landing on the moon in under 100 years. That's pretty fucking incredible. Who cares how young the US is compared to other nations when they pulled that off? "America is just a young country compared to others." Cool. Whatever.

Because we are the best version of what England could have been. The irony is you're talking to a person who lived in England for nearly 4 years and has genuine love for that nation. But I have no truck with this bullshit perspective of "we're better than you because our pubs are older than your country." Your country and culture won't exist if it stays on the current track that it's on. And that brings me no joy.

@slidecube @NoContextBrits As for your flag, why is it red, white and blue? Why is your national anthem the same tune as an English drinking song? Why do you have common law and trial by jury? Why are we having this conversation in English?

@codepink You actively trying to get people to hate the gays?

It's not offensive. What makes it offensive is the snide comments like "My local is older than your country." As an American who genuinely loves England, and even lived there for nearly 4 years, I wish the English would match this sense of national pride for more than just a World Cup before the England we know and love is gone.

The USA is 250 years old. England is way over 1.000 years old. No offence to Americans.

The one on the moon signifies that we put it there and it got washed out by the Sun's radiation. It was an American flag placed there by American greatness. And you still arrest people for saying mean things on Facebook. And the most common name given to newborn boys in England and Wales last year was Mohammed. You want to talk to me about a white flag meaning surrender? You're losing a war right now without a single shot being fired.

@slidecube @NoContextBrits Your flags on the moon have all been bleached white now. What does a white flag signify?

@DaughtersofFrya @NoContextBrits If you want to impress me, go to the moon and bring our flag back, and stop arresting people for social media posts.

@slidecube @NoContextBrits England has lost quite a few wars against the French, but has probably won more. We've fought against them loads of times over the past thousand years or so.
