Psycho Christian Lady on Comal today

She was SCREAMING “Jesus loves you! Christ loves you! Repent! Christ is king!” And other nonsense at another floater with a goat raft with a pentagram on its forehead. and then turned to her friends and said “they’re literally in a cult! That’s literally cult symbols!” And then “wouldn’t it be amazing if our Jesus just popped that float right now and they had to walk and swim the rest of the way wouldn’t that be hilarious.”

First of all, why does society not recognize that second part as mental illness. That’s magical thinking. If you were talking about Santa Claus you’d get recommended anti-psychotics but if you’re talking about Jesus that’s just… normal and accepted. Talk about cult status.

Second of all how hard is it to mind your own fucking business and not ruin everyone’s good time? First negative experience I have ever had here, normally everyone is super chill. I hope she was a tourist and that’s not how yall treat people ocer a silly river float!

Third of all which verse of the Bible does it say it’s okay to wish harm on someone using Jesus’ name? Cause that part was truly out of pocket. I know that book pretty well, and must have missed the part where Jesus is your personal attack dog for anyone who freaks you out a little.

Best animal hospital in central Texas?

I have taken my cat to the i35 animal hospital at market place 3x this week. I’ll share my full complaint below, but the gist is, I’m done with them and I want to take him to the best hospital I can for actual treatment. It’s cool if it’s also in NB, but I’ll go SA, ATX, pretty much anywhere I can drive in a day to just get him taken care of.

The first time they did incomplete bloodwork (admitted they should’ve ordered to see more than they did), gave him antibiotics, sent him home with sub q fluids, and told me to wait two days before following up. I said he already hasn’t eaten for two days and I’m concerned waiting that long to follow up but they assured that was best. I called the next day because he was definitely worse off and I wanted to be readmitted and they said the same, keep waiting. Sure enough, he turns yellow and finally they’re like “that’s serious, come in” so we do bloodwork, I mention I’d like to keep it around $300 that day and I’ll have more funds the next day, or if it’s an emergency, I have family I can lean on. Sure enough, it’s an emergency and he needs to be inpatient. So I tell them let’s do everything we need, I just need him to be okay. I signed off on an $1000 bill, he gets fluids, meds, etc. until I have to pick him up. I come back at 7am, I sign off on an $800 bill to continue fluids, meds, and have rechecks until they close again at 11. They told me I’d be called with updates when their 3pm shift comes in and does the first recheck. I don’t get a call, finally I call myself, and they say oh, he’s ready. So I go to get him but ask to speak with a doctor. Instead I get a completely incompetent tech that told me wrong information about medicine I showed him in my hands and obviously just said anything to answer any other questions. I go to check out, bill is less than $200. They did fluids only, AM only, no meds, no recheck, they just had no real backing for why they unhooked him early and they never informed me that they just decided to not give him any meds all morning like I agreed to. I get an offhand comment that they know money is an issue so it’d be more ideal if he got those things but they saved me money this way. I am still livid. I SIGNED an $800 estimate agreeing to the FULL treatment. They did not contact me with their decision change and made sure I consented to this “favor” at all. I’m 22 weeks pregnant, I can’t sleep, I’m constantly stressed, he’s been traumatized and I wanted him to actually get better instead of another freaking bandaid fix that’s going to cost more down the line. All they could say was, well call us in the morning if he doesn’t improve on his own. Well I can already tell you he isn’t improving. He’s in pain, lethargic, won’t eat, and I’m afraid his liver is going to get even worse now. Cats die from their liver very easily and he’s barely a year old he has a lot of life left in him.

Possibly Moving Here in October, What Apartments to Avoid?

My budget is somewhere around $1.2k single person. I know that prices me out of the luxury apartments, but are there 1bd apartments that you would recommend, or ones you'd avoid? I'm moving from a place in IL that refuses to fix the window troughs in my in ground 1bd that constantly flood and leak water into my apartment any time it rains, so I would rather not have to deal with that in a new apartment as well.

Where can I have my pig🥹

My micro pot belly pig has been living with my parents in a very specific grey area outside of San Antonio. I’ve been looking for places to move to but I need to find a place near San Antonio where I can have her. Pigs aren’t allowed in San Antonio and it’s seems like also quite of a few of the surrounding areas. Let me know if yall know about livestock laws or a near by city I can have her in. 😞🙏

Mayor Michael French: Use Google Calendar!

Word on the street is the new "mayor" of New Braunfels has missed two meetings already. Or maybe three.

There is a reason "be careful what you wish for" is one of the oldest cautionary tales we have.

Whether you attribute it to God, the universe, or just the brutal reality of second-order effects, the rule remains exactly the same: you always have to pay the thermodynamic cost of the state you wished for.

I would say pray for our mayor, but I'm a Buddhist. In Pali, the language Buddha chose for the teachings, there are two terms used together to convey this same idea: your action, or seed (Kamma) and its result/fruit (Vipāka).

Guess he didn't realize the fruit of his seed (or his wife's seed as it appears) is that he actually has to work. Or maybe it's optional, I'm not sure. I guess we'll see! 🥐

Have a good night y'all. Hope you got a good laugh out of this.

The flock

I know someone just recently posted on here about the flock and you lovely people educated me on this subject that I never knew existed. While on my drive today I noticed at least 4, because you all now have me looking. I thought I had noticed more but after thinking about it some of the possible ones might have just been sensors for lights. My question is has anyone ever received a ticket or warning violation from one of these? Just curious.

Is the commute to Austin doable?

I’ll be starting a new job in north Austin (think near Pflugerville) in a few weeks and it’s a contract role so I’m not sure it’s worth relocating. Is the commute doable? It’s about one hour on I-35 and I’ll also be working swing shift so realistically leaving my house around noon and coming back around 9 pm. Is the commute worth it or soul crushing? I’m applying for other jobs actively so thought I’d do this for a month or so while I reevaluate next steps.
