This has been the GOP end game since Reagan. It’s finally coming into focus. -

Its wishful thinking but understandable when your number one receiver is an unreliable gadget guy and the next man up is RS freshman. -

Now do climate change / sustainability policies... just kidding not the thread for it, but it's the same thrust of what you are saying. And because these things are seen as corporations perfomance, like I described, it's a signal to not take it all that serious and just wait it out until the winds shifts again. The only thing that really matters is the 10-Q -
Not a good start, team is on the ropes.

That's a great story. I assume somewhere near central Austin given the age?

I do not like any and all scuttle around Izzy Starck, the Penn State setter who is taking a year off. Lots of rumors her decision to take the year off was not well met by her teammates/coaches and she's going to transfer She'd have 3 years of eligibility left (2024 freshman, 2025 redshirt) Errica Hibben (Texas, 1989-1992) is her mom, so there's the Texas connection - career #7 in solo blocks, #5 in block assists, #3 in total blocks and has the #2 and #4 total blocks in a season record at Texas This would greatly impact whether Harris decides to come to Texas or not - will JE go after her in the portal if she truly enters? It would not be the first player we took from the portal who left her last school due to burnout/mental health issues.

More on transmaxxing. -
Visitors to El Paso might fall into the "Chicos is okay" opinion. Being from El Paso, you either love it or hate it, I'm in the hate group. I actually preferred Kiki's Restaurant over L&J my last couple of visits to town. Too bad Elemi moved out of downtown. James Beard semifinalist and definitely worth the drive across town.

Because I hadn't been touched by the algo before he died, i searched out a bunch of short form videos and from what I can gather, he was basically a really articulate (truly) thinker and speaker who reasoned with logic really well extemporaniously (at least, relative and compared to young college students) and defended his conservative positions well. -
Seems like they have OD'd on pancakes.

I think Chubb was so juiced up about scoring a TD after being hurt for the past 2 years he was never going to slide down. Yes that’s the smart move, but decentish chance the Chubb’s last season in the league. I’m seeing a lot of Texans collapsed headlines. They gave the ball back to fuck face with 3 minutes left. I believe he leads the NFL in game winning drives since 2018. What did people expect to happen? He’s likely marching down the field against the Eagles too. It’s an offense first league. It sucks being 0-2, but it’s the peril of having success and playing a tough schedule.

I feel like you're missing my point, it was that these companies abandoned these goals the second Trump won in 2024. A whole bunch of them have intentionally reversed any such quotas/promises for fear of retribution from Der Fuhrer. I also chose Lockheed Martin as an example because they're an evil company that has long benefitted from bombing brown people. -

I don't think I've encountered the concept of transmaxing before, but this certainly tracks with what I do know about groypers and the alt-right in general. That cocktail of self-hatred, repressed same-sex attractions, misogyny, etc. can certainly lead to some extremely weird shit. -

Can't angry white boys who aren't getting laid just go back to listening to Nu Metal? -
You need to go to Charcoaler Drive In - 5837 North Mesa -- West Side (Go T-Birds!) That ... or go to the Kentucky Club over the bridge... bring a blade

Chubb should have gone down at the one, and we kick a field goal and win. Or we win by kicking an earlier field goal, instead of getting stuffed at the goal line. Or maybe if the fucking offensive line can get a 1 yard push on runs rather than a 1 yard retreat we win. Don't make so many take big yards off the board, or sustain drives like on the last one with penalties we win. OL is simply not getting the job done. As the OL goes, so goes the offensive performance. If you cannot run the ball you cannot win. And if there is a way to run the ball without good OL play, PLEASE let me know what are the plays that you can call over and over to mask that weakness. If there is some OC/play caller that has a solution for weak ass OL play out there, they could instantly demand head coach money and get it. Because my friends there is no play calling that can eliminate the overall disaster of poor line play.

Just skimming the threads here, but did Kirk ever say anything remotely inspirational? I get the algorithm has put me in a liberal bubble, but I'm not seeing a whole lot exultation of what Kirk actually did or said. Anyone seeing any high falutin memes out of the mourners? It appears to me that he existed more as a symbol than anything else. Maybe the conservatives here can post some of his most inspirational stuff; my guess is that it's a bunch us vs. them white grievance victimhood shit. -

Yep. Same reason people like him only care about "erasing history" when it's a statue of some old Klansman being taking down but not when librarians get arrested in schools for checking out books written by black or queer writers. -

Is this why the goalposts are misaligned to the field? -

As a parent and now a grandparent, the thing that has stayed with me about this while thing (the shooter and his motives, etc.) is something I read the mom said or commented on. I read somewhere and I'll try to find the source but it's been a few days, where the family member or the mom said something to the effect of "he was into his games and internet and even went as some sort of meme once for Halloween when he was in high school" and was just so oblivious and hand-wavey about the whole thing. Clearly no real oversight or discipline into how he was raised with respect to technology. That screams to me either laziness or apathy, but either way, a very dangerous way to raise kids in the social media/internet dsytopian timeline. Like many kids, if he maybe had more attentative caregivers who moderated and policed his online behavior and activity as a youth and teen in those developmental years, maybe some of the internet-induced mental illness could have been avoided. Then again, maybe guys in their late 20's and 30's end up breaking their brains on the internet on their own and it was inevitable. I truly don't know. -

There's a lot to unpack here. One thing I'll point out is the cruelty of using social pressure to force someone into a gender that they are not. Much like forces transpeople to remain in the one that they aren't. Does this "transmaxxing" extend to actual surgery? Seriously, imagining some weak-willed, Theojon-like, but straight cis guy, to have his dick chopped off, undergo a surgical procedure to construct a vagina, take hormones, grow tits, and all that just so that he can be forced into having sex with other guys because they can't get it anywhere else. What a gotdam torturous nightmare. That's just about the most fucked up thing I've ever heard of, if it's actually a thing.
