  1. Past hour
  2. You should tell the sun not to come up tomorrow while you're at it and see if it listens.
  3. The essay is about GenX from the standpoint that it's writing about how GenX white males didn't pay any price in connection with the implementation of DEI hiring policies. The people who are in power among GenX are disproportionately white males. And we didn't throw ourselves out of power. That's a bit part of the thesis of the essay, and it's a part with which I strongly agree. I'm not even disagreeing with the author's observations about the impact on his cohort of Millenial white males. I'm just saying I don't care.
  4. And now I am on board with the move.
  5. She got fired for that?
  6. Sark doesn’t hire OC so he doesn’t have to manage the offense: failure, focus on head coaching! Sark hires fully involved DC so he doesn’t have to micromanage the defense: also failure, that’s part of head coaching! kay
  7. PK had defenses that were good enough for a championship but he could not help that the OC got outcoached versus Ohio State and decided to trust a really shitty OL coach. Thanks coach PK you did a good job but sorry I like the move.
  8. My Grandpa, who treating lying like a sport, used to read newspaper headlines to an idiot he worked with, making up half of them just to rile him up. He would have made so much money in today's media.
  9. Dammit, now I need a new keyboard...
  10. Except....we both noted that they are NOT mainly the same. While white men are still disproportionately represented in the younger ranks, women are beginning to stomp them in both quantity and quality. Again, give me a pool of 10 randomly selected high-quality candidates with less than 4 years of practice, probably 7 outta 10 are going to be female. Minorities are still trailing in representation, but they are making gains. Bottom line, 30 years ago, 80% of the incoming class of high-quality attorneys would be white males. Today? Maybe 40%. That's a precipitous decline.....but white males are STILL slightly overrepresented compared to population.
  11. Have fun, but don't marry them, or may God have mercy on your soul.
  12. I don't speak for all of corporate America but you should read what 956 wrote about his experience, because that was in line with what I saw in global corporations and Big Tech over the course of about a decade. In other words, I can't honestly say that "the best candidate we can get" was a huge part of the equation when it came to early-mid career promotion, hiring and recruitment. And he's especially dead-on about gay guys not counting.
  13. Couldn't go a page without it and that game was a week ago. Since we're all obsessed with OKC, I was watching them a little last night and Dort has really gone to shit offensively. He was never a good shooter but improved his way to roughly 40% from 3 the last two years by both working on it and taking better/fewer shots. He was an offensive liability before that. He's sucking shit this season to the point they've really cut his minutes. He was one year left on his contract but that's a team option. Cason Wallace also has one more year and he's better than Dort at literally everything and plays the same position. (Dort might be better on ball but Wallace leads the league in steals by a wide margin.) Smart thing to do is dump Dort and keep Wallace but Dort is SGA's BFF. Not sure what Cason gets in the open market so maybe they can't afford him anyway with paying the other 3 big guys.
  14. Wasn't sure where to put this but I saw this posted on Facebook.....
  15. You won’t find any of those around here.
  16. Good--then I've expressed myself clearly. We have managed to carry out some significant societal changes. I think a lot more societal changes are needed. And I don't think we've carried out the changes that have been made with just a whole lot of grace or foresight. But we're fucking GenX, man. What do you expect from us?
  17. Fucking Jayden getting swept up in radical right wing racist shit. You know our people don’t do this shit bro!
  18. Two championship defenses in a row and your team loses because of a shitty OC and his staff and you get fired. That has to suck but I like the move.
  19. I think what sickens me the most over the 2025 season is how your average Sooner fan truly actually believes their team is good. That they have a shot at this. I don't think I've seen a more embarrassing offense make the playoff ever. Only in the position they are in bc they cheated to beat Auburn. Just a crazy turn of events. The OU LSU debacle arguably set the entire sport back into the fucking stone age. I'm ready for this bull shit magic run of theirs to be met with utter annihilation. Make these trailer dip shit gooners realize they never had any chance.
  20. Probably a lot of, “I sure miss the 40’s, that decade was the tops!” and, “Boy my joints ache. Liniment jus’ ain’t what it used to be.”
  21. But, that's not his core complaint. His core complaint is that millenial males, particularly the white ones were individually denied opportunity while the power structure stayed the same. Which is really hard to argue with. Gen X is not millenials. Both of you guys should read and not skim - the essay is not about Gen X or Gen Z - it's about what happened to millenial males over the course of a very specific decade. And I would also say to both of you - you're lawyers and in one of the most gatekept professions there is, and one which exercises more aggressive cultural hygiene and self-protection than any other, with the possible exception of police. In other words, you're part of the power structure. Of course things are mainly the same.
  22. Master Chief handing out the trophy... epic! Good Choice too since Halo is a staple and the heart and soul on Xbox online gaming.
  23. Fuck both teams. But fuck blowU more
