The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
TwiceHorn replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Regardless, my point was not to defend Reagan, but to point out that Reagan's following was not cultlike as is Trump's. And specifically that there are a lot of Trump voters that specifically disclaim being Republican and probably never voted, if at all, Republican. And, as you often note, most of these people feel betrayed by #bothsides and for some goddamn reason think Trump is really any different from the money interests that fucked them over. -
Great kid. I admire him for knowingly heading into an ass-kicking.

The head of this crew, Mike McCabe, used to be a Pac-12 official. Fucked up there too. https://pac-12.com/news/2022/9/25/pac-12-acknowledges-mistake-made-oregon-washington-state-game-confirms-proper

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening

But this one costs more and with their phaseout cycle, the perfectly good shirt he's wearing will no longer be supported and he'll have to get rid of it. - Today

This is probably our best chance to win a statewide race. While Talarico isn't very loud, he's got a solid case and he's got his belly full of the billionaires. He's got morals and he's an elementary teacher by trade, so he does know how to speak the language of the under-educated.

This is bullshit and you are smarter than this. NATIONALITY is an unavoidable criterion when it comes to immigration. In some countries, ethnicity and nationality overlap very heavily, but they do not here. In the United States of America, our nationality encompasses all ethnicities. No American should be detained and questioned on the basis of their ethnicity. None. Zero. All Americans should be equally safe before the law, even administrative applications of the law, regardless of the color of skin suit we wear. It's falsely equating two unequal things, providing cover for those that you well know would use it as a weapon to hurt our fellow American citizens. This type of "legal analysis" should go the way of the dodo, because the law is extinct. The system you constantly champion has been destroyed by an asteroid of lies and bad faith arguments. The asteroid has already hit, the country is on fire and the last glimpses of the sun are disappearing behind the gathering dust storm. You seem like a decent dude, but you are a fossil, intent on living in a past that has already been destroyed and this type of "legal analysis" provides cover to the asteroid that did it. Keep doing that and you'll only get more and more asteroids. Adapt.

Why is the younger generation so intolerant?
956 Worldwide replied to hornian's topic in Daily Texan
This is a great post, and I think the commodification of higher education and everything has also led to a problem of TOO MUCH tolerance. Not of people or ideas, but of behavior. There’s been a slide towards accepting almost all outbursts of opinion, no matter how incoherent or disruptive, as legitimate expression that must be accommodated. To the point where disruption of others‘ free expression or preventing people from hearing ideas you don’t like is elevated to an equal level of expression. A student who is disrupting a class like this should be told to sit down and STFU or leave. Don’t like the content or disagree? Professors have structured times for students to question or push back. If you’re really pissed you can leave, you can write letters to the paper or dean, you can stand outside with a placard. But erupting in anger and derailing a lecture is not legitimate expression. Screaming and preventing others from hearing a guest lecture is not expression, it’s anti-expression. It’s like pressing an air horn on a theatre. And there’s undoubtedly been a trend towards accepting and accommodating disruptive “expression” that has only the goal of silencing voices you don’t like. And every time the curators of spaces intended for dialogue, exchange of ideas, and learning treat that form of disagreement and disruption as acceptable, they send the message that it is effective and legitimate. -
Yeah. Because it’s not that difficult to explain and Bernie does it well. Meanwhile, psychopath up above is probably going to recommend testicle tanning soon. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

Worth noting that as Poland shoots down these drones, Russia has a massive buildup of troops for Západ exercises in Belarus just across the border.

Preach it brother. The irony (to me) is that protective parenting has actually been more harmful to the brain chemistry and abilities of the youth to interact in today's society, as the kids fell into screens and sink into the abyss of online. However, maybe when they are in their prime earning years, they will have been served well, as everyone will be productive with AI agents and the only humans needed in organizations will be the aging forward deployed engineers of today.

Beto was the best chance to unseat any R in the state for senate. We are a lost cause. I’ll still vote of course. But no Dem can win in Texas now.

Legit cool story bro. Damn.

The younger generation is so intolerant because they are tolerant of a lot of bullshit nonsense ideas. Their bullshit detection meters are low to non-existent because they spend the majority of their lives on the internet instead of sniffing out bullshit the old fashioned way in person. This lack of real world interaction creates the opportunity for all the bullshit nonsense to take root in their minds. I recently had to explain to my nephews that they shouldn’t buy things from a guy who is constantly saying how “legit” his products were. They were surprised at the notion that someone using the word “legit” was not selling a decent product. Maybe they’re just stupid kids, but hearing a guy say something is “legit” on the Internet doesn’t ping your common sense meter the same way a sleazy salesman does saying the word “legit” during an in-person interaction. That’s what kids are lacking these days.

UAP Pentagon Report (UFOs, Foo Fighters, Commie Drones)
956 Worldwide replied to Doc Reeves's topic in Daily Texan
Also important that this was engaged with at all. The military doesn’t shoot at things that are unidentified; that’s why all the other UAP videos are just tracking. Someone in the chain identified this as a Houthi target and got the green light. -
As a Texan, we need to collectively stop wasting our time and money on these races. And I really like Talarico.

UAP Pentagon Report (UFOs, Foo Fighters, Commie Drones)
956 Worldwide replied to Doc Reeves's topic in Daily Texan
Those are pretty high-value and usually used when it’s important to avoid civilian casualties. If Reapers and Hellfires were used then the object was moving fairly steadily and not too fast. This area is some of the most heavily monitored and a site of active air defense operations against Houthi missiles and drones. My bet is the Hellfire failed to detonate against some sort of one-way drone. Good article here: https://www.twz.com/news-features/revelation-that-mq-9-reapers-are-now-engaging-aerial-targets-comes-from-uap-hearing -
I'd add two elements to this... Protective parenting and an extensively online culture have dimished the capacity and capabilities for engaging in face to face conversations with people who hold different ideas or have different life experiences. Combined with the worship of 'tolerance' rather than understanding, boundaries are drawn and enforced with overreactive responses. The valid and important conversation about the cost of higher education can shift expectations away from learning and towards certification. The latter sees college as a commodity, and it follows that expectations for return on investment would support egocentric behavior (which is also still developmentally appropriate for young adults). Put differently... "I'm paying your salary, do what I want and get me a job". Colleges are deeply responsible for this mindset, particularly in their focus on 'investment' language and the arms race of amenities that many *resorts* campuses have pursued. You can't treat people like customers and then be surprised when they want to always be right.

Well Written Content OU Football 2025 - League Average & Loving It
Ricky Butler replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
I feel like OU is the team in for a rude awakening. Texas, even as we're figuring stuff out, can still throw forward passes. Unlike Michigan, we don't have a terrible head coach and an 18 year old quarterback.
