They don't allow semi trucks either, even when the parking lot is empty. And they enforce the rules, even when there's plenty of room, because if they start slacking on it, people like this prick will take advantage. They handle what could become a major problem, by dealing with it while it's small.

I HATE F’n Buc-ee’s! Am I the only one consistently running into annoying jerks while @TeslaCharging . Don’t we have bigger problems in the world? RECOMMENDATION. Find a place that wants your business. 500 stops around the country ZERO Problems. 3 Buc-ees stops, 3 problems! That’s not a coincidence!

"I should be able to break the rules because i'm important." I'm glad Buc-ee's told you to leave. I hope they trespass you from every single place. Tesla has plenty of other superchargers, go annoy them.

@sidewayskoyote This is people so blinded by hatred for Trump that they automatically hate anything he's involved in. The pool needs to be refurbished. Replacing the worn and grimy tile won't happen by the 250th celebration this July, but painting it is quick, cheap, and buys time.

It’s the most suspenseful part of my day. Will I get through TSA unscathed? Will I be selected for random screening? Can I see the answer reflecting in the agent’s glasses while the computer decides? Roll the dice & find out!

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

When I was a young child, my brother went back to school, studying journalism. One of the courses I remember (sometimes I went to class with her, sometimes I helped her with homework) was one on propaganda. The relevant points here, are that to spread a lie, present it as a well-known truth, and repeat it over and over again. Stated confidently, and repeatedly, people will begin to believe it.

@mattvanswol We're in a civil war, and have been for years, but only one side is fighting. I don't know that we are going to be able to climb out at this point, unless it's by climbing up a pile of bodies.

Went to bed angry. Woke up angry. There are a truly horrifying number of people in this country who believe m*rder and violence is an acceptable response to political disagreement. I'm not sure how we climb out of this...

Stochastic terrorism. You can't call someone a Nazi-fascist-pedo over and over again without expecting someone to believe you, and to do something about it.

I've muted all the red/blue threads. The real question is purple or green?

My dog is a drug addict. She keeps eating blue tailed skinks, puking on the floor, and spending the next few hours just being weird. It's like puppy peyote.

@mattvanswol @ksorbs You will never regret doing it. You can provide a better education to your children than the teachers union.

@ksorbs Im strongly considering it, though it would be an absolutely MASSIVE life change for my wife and I and I’ll be honest… It’s a little scary. But not sure there is much of a choice left, Kevin. There are so few other options left.

Hey Matt, ever thought of homeschooling? Might be time to make the switch.
Matt Van Swol@mattvanswol

I just got a phone call from my kid's school. They have cancelled his classes for this Friday, May 1st so that school staff can go protest. I'm so pissed. Every parent I know is scrambling for childcare right now, trying to take off work, they have NO IDEA what they are going to do. How does this happen?! How can they just cancel school for my kid so they can play activist when they should be teaching him TO READ AND DO MATH?! This may be our last straw... Homeschooling feels inevitable at this point. I'm so sick of this... I've been holding my toungue but I will do so no longer. If you want to fix the public schools, you are going to have to do the hard things that NOTHING in this protest will do: 1) DEPORT ALL THE ILLEGAL ALIENS and funding per AMERICAN student will increase DRASTICALLY How do I know? Because when ICE came to Charlotte NC, guess how many kids didn't show up to school? 30,000 kids. Yes, nearly 20% of ALL KIDS didn't show up to school because of ICE, so what does that tell you about how many illegal aliens we have going to our public schools in this country? 2) DRASTICALLY DEFUND THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. There are HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE in school administration in North Carolina right now making $200,000-$315,0000. Guess what? None of them are teachers. Guess which positions in schools have grown in the past 10 years? Number of students: 2.5% increase Number of teachers: 2.2% increase Number of administrators: 45% increase Number of consultants: 107% increase You want to pay teachers more? Great, then you now know EXACTLY where to look. Because the "middle-management" for North Carolina schools grew 20x FASTER than the student population, so there's a good place to start. Sorry for the rant... I've been patient. I've been engaged. I've gone to the meetings. I've read the emails. I've donated, a LOT. I'm really close to just being done. If the public school system thinks canceling class so the adults can go to a rally is acceptable, then the public school system has told me exactly what it values. And it isn't my kid.

@SCShipyards In fact, there's no upside to blue and no downside to red. This isn't a moral dilemma. It's an IQ test.

Reddit is an amazing place. Where else could a NASA employee in Texas who worked on HLS be comfortable saying that he wants people who desire cuts in federal spending to bleed?

@ShamashAran @TommyFaceOnFire It does, but his point was hiding the reinforcement was the problem. Showing the concrete was fine in his view. Although, I do agree that crash safety is an issue. Just not what he was arguing.

Had to block that Blessed Salt guy. Anyone that feels the need to moralize to that degree over someone wanting to protect their own mailbox from vandals is not someone I want around come decision time.
