I never felt like Cap'n crossed a line.
Then again, there is no official line
Everyone has their own personal line

I can respect Capn as my elder. He has been around, owned a small business (I hear), and raised kids. I do take that life experience into consideration when trying to figure out where someone is coming from.

But I just could never seem to agree with anything he said and got sick of the blanket "faux news" insult. Sometimes people can disagree without the other person being an "idiot" or a "fool".

I don't understand the Sauce thing at all. Is he a Dodger fan?

 

You and I both know that is effectively a ban. Cap has dignity. He will not reregister and profess that he is reformed in order to be accepted back. If he is only welcome if he comes back neutered, then he is as good as gone.

I don’t recall reading a post where I felt Cap blatantly crossed a line. I mean, as a daily reader of DSP for over 10 years, I have been conditioned to believe there is no such thing as “crossing the line.” And that’s what makes DSP so special. You are allowed an outlet to speak your mind without any repercussion. If that is no longer the case, then what made this site special no longer applies.

Yes.

 

California passing a bill to remove Trump from the 2020 ballot lol.
Who is the real threat to "democracy"?
So sick of this scumbag state.

 

Yeah, we are a mess.

Still, they will never pull that ballot hoax off without a massive lawsuit that'll extend beyond the actual election date. If they do, by some chicanery and dubious election rigging, the blowback, even with rampant leftist support here, will make for a decade of legal hilarity worthy of Laurel & Hardy. The Twitter mob thinks they know what's up. They do not. California will obviously vote Dem, but the GOP will get enough ballots in to help the national count.

I look forward to this goat rodeo of an election. We are likely moving to Denver, San Antonio, or maybe even Spokane, but that's a year plus away. Until then, I'm ready for war.

 

Both of my siblings moved to San Antonio. Don't go. It's becoming California-lite.

I'll probably be here for a while. Almost moved a couple times in the past for career opportunities but I decided to go down a different path. One of those jobs was a 3 year contract that would be ending this year. Sometimes I wish I went ahead and gave it a shot just to experience something else. Get a taste and see if I could permanently ditch this hell hole. I don't have any regrets, though.

Saving up $200-300,000 for a down payment on a house isn't all that appealing, either.

 

San Antonio offers a superb job for me. But yes, its SoCal Light for sure.

I lived in Denver for seven years, so I know the life. My wife is a native Californian. It'll be tougher on her.

 

i'm looking at OKC but just for a business opportunity
not sure i'm ever going to be able to escape here permanently but i think i want to spend huge amounts of time on the road
this just isn't home anymore

 

I'm here all week.

 

Don't remind me. In 2003, Denver residents were charged extra for water because of a drought, then put on strict water restrictions to save water. People took it to heart, and used 31% less water over a year, and then the rains came, making it a win-win, right? Wrong. Rates went up again because the district lost money on account of budgetary shortfalls due in part to - you guessed it - people using less water.

Yep. What country ...

 

We wouldn't move to Denver. We are priced out there. We are looking at Centennial or Parker. That's more to our interests anyway. Denver city went ghetto since I moved...

I know ... rkacist!

 

It's not bad, although, as you say it's suburbia (aka white bread honkyville).

I recall it 20 years ago before it was a formally recognized city. It had a feel like you could stretch out a bit ... and then the state consolidated in 2001, and the stampede began. I had my eye on a place there back in 2003, and now, it'd be almost triple what I paid for it. Oh well...
