I love how when you talk to Texans. They’ll say the cities are cesspools of liberal waste. But then you point out the hate in the small communities around the cities and then they get chatty. Oh it’s not that bad. It’s not terrible.
No bro. It’s terrible. It’s a shit hole. And you’re lying to yourself if you don’t believe that.
I'm a Texan and the cities are the only half decent parts of the state.
I just can’t deal with your side walk situation. That shit was a death trap in Dallas. Literal sidewalks lead you into highway on ramps with no crossing paths for anything. Wtf
It's fucking awful. The roads aren't any better
They hate liberals, but want the liberal culture and benefits. Losers.
I've really enjoyed the stream of articles about people who bagged on coastal cities moving to Texas and finding out why you don't want to live in Texas. I knew just from a connecting flight in Dallas Fort Worth airport where we had a layover. So many cowboy boots, cowboy hats, and huge belt buckles. I don't trust anyone who dresses like that not to suck.
Good, hope they hate it and also lose a lot of money.
I'm in Southern Europe. I have very dear friends in Dallas and Austin. I'm welcome to their homes any time I want. The thing is that I know that if I go, the only worthwhile thing would be being with friends. I've been to Dallas twice, and really don't know why anybody would go for tourism.
That plus the danger of entering the country.
Never have i seen so many billboards and ine story buildings
Dallas destroyed a relationship I was in. It was such a bad time that we just broke up afterwards. I can’t really explain it. But it’s a terrible place to go to.
Fuckwits do stupid things. News at 5.
He has friends?
well he certainly HAD friends, but he eschewed them all for unfunny sycophants whom would make a particularly clingy remora uncomfortable
In 2020, Joe Rogan moved from Los Angeles to Austin after visiting and realizing he didn't have to wear a mask at a restaurant.
What a profoundly stupid man. Him and all his idiot followers deserve far worse than they're getting.
Lol he moved for tax reasons but that probably wouldn't play well with his listeners
He moved there because he didn't want to wear a mask during COVID times? Lol that's so stupid that was just a temporary thing anyways who bases their life decisions on something so stupid?
He's there because there's no income tax and he didn't want to pay on the Spotify deal.
Very stupid people. Like Joe Rogan.
LMAO. Are you finally figuring out what's wrong with privatizing, eh guys?
"Texas f--king blows," comedian Shane Gillis said in a June episode of the Andrew Schulz podcast, recalling a storm that left his Austin home without power for three days. "It's hot as f--k. The second we ran out of power, the house was 90 degrees and bugs came in immediately."
"They're on their own power grid, like f--king idiots," Schulz added.
Every season has some kind of power problem and they keep trying to blame the renewables as if it wasnt the thing actually saving them from worse outages.
"I do not know what a generator is"
Are you finally figuring out what's wrong with privatizing
Oh no, no. No. No, these are "comedians, podcasters, and UFC fighters" so while they define an open mind and good works, they actually won't learn a damned thing or do anything about it.
I lived in Austin from 1999 until 2023. The irony here is that the main reason the city is soulless is because of the steady influx of douchebags like themselves.
In the 90's Austin was arguably the slacker capital of America. The dot-com bubble killed that but after the bubble burst the tech folk that stayed behind decided to do their own thing. The Austin tech sector had a distinctly relaxed vibe. It felt sustainable and it felt like everyone knew each other. Big city tech center with a small town vibe. The downside was that we didn't have much on the way of amenities. Prices were low and a concerted effort was made to revitalize downtown. Soon we had good food, great bars, low rent, and a genuinely fun city to be in. Then the douchebags caught wind of it, prices skyrocketed, and they ran out everything that made the place a joy to be in.
Austin can still be great, but it will never be L.A., and thank god for that.
LAs biggest advantage is that it was able to utilize its oil wealth, farming industry, and trade advantage to turn itself into an absolute beast of an economic driver. It's basically an Engine on a big piece of industrial equipment, it smells like shit and it ain't pretty but it damned well works. No other city should be LA because one is more than enough. I say all of this as an born and raised Inland Imperial I fucking hate LA, if any one talks shit about LA without having at least honorary Southern Californian status I will flay them alive and then dump them in the Salten Sea.
moved from New York City to Austin in 2023
"I just wanted to move to a place where you can do standup during the week," Gillis told Theon Von in 2024. "Forever it was just New York and LA, now you can do it in Nashville in Austin."
But according to his own words, he was already living in a place where he could do standup during the week??
"I've been canceled!" says the comedian who is on stage and being broadcast nationally.
Good. That’s what your sycophantic behavior gets you.
As a dude that is from and spent over 3 decades in Texas my reaction is, "Well they're not wrong." Texas and especially Austin is terrible, but them being there is making the place worse.
Good. Now fence off that shit state and leave them there to rot
They should all just have to stay there. Everyone in this article blows.
Who was it who said, "If you want America to build a wall along its southern boarder, let Texas secede."
At least they didn’t move to Russia and get conscripted to front line infantry?
We could only be so lucky.
Texas is a shit hole.
