  1. Past hour
  2. Helo just stumbles through life spreading his unique brand of stupidity. His lack of awareness is so complete I'm actually surprised he hasn't been run over by a train by this point in his life.
  3. Yeah right. Fucking throw me in the camp of “I’ll believe it when I see it”.
  4. I see ze need for a great reset https://youtu.be/C-RGvzBYB18?si=5w188YGZrasK6Tln
  5. I don’t get the fascination with her by the Boomers. My FIL thinks the Free Press is the only real news source.
  6. I can't even bring myself to watch anything OTF related due to how stupid this team is. Did Hills blame Flood and Sark?
  7. I gotta say this defensive lineup worries me.
  8. What I love about that take is the utter lack of self-awareness. Reminds me of the tale of Guernica, a Picasso painting capturing the horror of the Spanish Civil War: Terrorists are not born, they are made. And I'd wager that in the past two years, Israel made more terrorists (current and future) than we'll ever be able to count.
  9. Can we stop going nuts about a guy that might not even win the primary in…checks notes…Maine?
  10. That Tony Hills segment is fantastic. And cathartic.
  11. houston to chicago new orleans to la this would be amazing
  12. Balogun getting the start today for Monaco.
  13. I learned about FFA from the yogurt shop murders documentary. I grew up in Austin in northwest hills in the 90s and found it really odd that someone who went to Lanier would have anything to with something like FFA.
  14. This. I understand cycles, trotting out a young line (or position group, etc) where you can see that, but at the same time see the potential. That’s not this.
  15. This. Fuck this franchise. Fuck Adelson, and fuck Cuban for selling out to her. I saw they might be moving to Irving anyway. Fuck all of it.
  16. Last time I went to a Waffle House.....was with YGIFS (RIP). We'd meet up periodically for a semi-ironic "Waffle House summit." But truth be told, we also both liked the coffee and breakfast. Apropos of the survey subject matter, we both came from relatively humble backgrounds (working class for the most part) to achieve real professional success and eventually be members of the top whatever percent. That's a real American demographic, but its numbers are going down, and that's a big problem on two fronts. (1) It's a problem because you lose cross-cultural/economic perspective among the relatively upper classes. We spend a lot of time in rooms with "the elite." And when they didn't have perspective or understand what's up with the working class etc., it's helpful for "one of them" to be able to speak up with an "actually, here's how that looks. And I'm here to tell you, government cheese makes FANTASTIC grilled cheese sandwiches." But it's also a problem because (2) it's a sign of mobility. My mother literally survived because of government assistance. My father lucked into going to college- a state university, with absurdly cheap tuition, after growing up poor in a border town. And I have "made it." My children have grown up secure, with the world opened up for them. That's the American Dream, it's the path that many followed just a couple of generations ago. That path is not as open today. That sucks. We have lost mutual perspective because we've lost mobility, and make no mistake, most of that mobility was UPWARD, not downward. It's much harder today to jump up a class. It was never EASY, but it was much more doable. That's bad for America. All of America. Some of us see that, and actually give a shit about our fellow American, even though it benefits us not in the slightest (my success will not change if Darryl from Bumfuck gets a degree and a decent job in Ft. Worth....yet I still very, very much want to see that happen for Darryl). Others -- and they are now the dominant strain of American politics and society -- think that anything that might help Darryl in the slightest is SOCIALISM, and actually see Darryl's failure as a sign that the system they want is working. God it's fucked up.
  17. A&M will be favored? Yeah, no.
  18. Can we at least see the whole tattoo before we go insane lmao gawd dayum
  19. All joking aside, I though the test was pretty interesting in its obviousness. I want to a public high school in San Antonio where students came from northwest San Antonio (Leon Valley/Shavano Park) all the way out to Medina Lake. Had one of the largest FFA clubs in the US, and lots of military brats. I graduated and kept in touch with the college types, and lost touch with the cowboy types, who were awesome people - I wish I had done a better job of staying in touch. I also moved to Dallas. My brother maintained friendships with the college types and the cowboy types - he's got a much more well-rounded social base, and he lives out Bandera road a ways. I really am isolated, politically, as fuck. Important to remember and remind oneself.
