Like I said, the city itself is actually pretty nice. OKC has changed a lot (for the better) over the last 21 years that I’ve been here. It’s the state that sucks.

It depends on the area, but it’s possible to meet all three.

Lived in Oklahoma most of my life (and currently do). A coworker is a recent college graduate. He says one of his good friends from school is a gay, black, Trump supporter. But he’s also apparently a trust fund baby with somewhere in the eight- or nine-digit range in his bank account. So that’s probably where that…

“Like, say, complaining to calling the cops on the black manager that there’s nowhere for you to sit when when you inevitably go on a date to Papa John’s.”

Lawton? Damn. Sorry dude.

Dear 2K/Firaxis,

I worry about ISPs with datacaps. How much data does this hog vs just streaming 1080P video?

Dear Taco Bell,

Flying from Asia to North America is usually faster than the opposite, thanks to cruising with the jet stream. I went to Tokyo in 2015. On the trip there, my layover was in Denver, and it took 14 hours to get to Narita. On the return flight, we went from Tokyo to Houston and it was a little over 11 hours, even though…

I visited Tsukiji on a July morning in 2015, a Tuesday. It was wonderful getting to walk around, as the crowd was at a minimum. An old man managed to lure my wife and me into his restaurant (which wasn’t much more than a stall) with a cry of “Breakfast! Hot soup! Cold beer!” I never did learn the name of that…

Man, it used to be that I could get even the latest volumes of Star Wars comics for less than $3 - $4 on these digital sales, but the ones I’ve been watching are still $5-$7. Oh well, I may bite the bullet on them.

It was my old band’s bassist that caused the drama that led to our breakup after 8 years. #notallbassists

The U.S. Constitution is the oldest currently used formal basis of government in the world. The rest of the world is okay with going back and reexamining things every once in a while. Meanwhile the U.S. stubbornly keeps trying to maintain its post-coital government boner, shouting that it just needs a minute.

Brian, this is somewhat off topic. Any advice on how to enjoy Japanese Whisky if you’re not a big whisky/whiskey drinker in general? I was recently gifted a bottle of Suntory Whisky Toki, but am a little afraid to give it a try because my experiences with American, Scotch, and Irish whiskeys have been somewhat…

As an Oklahoman, it’s always amusing to me how much pride this state takes in being the home state of Woody Guthrie, but puts its fingers in its collective ears whenever how gloriously fucking socialist Woody was comes up.

I’ve never heard of that, but I do seem to recall hearing that it was in the parking lot. But I doubt most people here in Oklahoma are remotely aware of it

It is Oklahoma, so I’m not surprised.

From what I’ve heard, the taser got deployed because the manager started a scuffle by trying to stop the shoplifter, and they were fighting each other. Not any sort of an excuse, but that’s what I’ve heard.

He tried to steal beer. Low point (3.2%) Oklahoma grocery store beer. He was booked on two complaints of first degree manslaughter.

Yeah, pretty much. I’m pretty sure there’s a state law that essentially says that, if someone dies in the course of you committing a non-murder crime, you will be charged with murder or manslaughter. Like, if you and a partner are robbing a house and the homeowner shoots and kills your partner, you’ll be charged for…
