  1. Past hour
  2. Dicker's name should be "retired" on DKR with Layne, Nobis, Earl, Ricky, VY, and Colt
  3. I’d like to think if I was in an online group and someone said β€œhey i got a gun and I’m headed to go kill so and so” that I’d turn their asses in. I am not saying this is what happened here. How do you know if they are even serious? I bring this up bc almost every shooter in the last decade has communicated their intentions online and it doesn’t seem like anyone took the hundreds of so doing this shit seriously at all, sad.
  4. Bingo. Shit, we can have that discussion about sexual harassment and sexual harassment training (as just another example of a policy that is both necessary and helpful, AND can be silly, burdensome, and counterproductive). Bosses telling subordinates they have to suck their dick to get a promotion: we can uniformly agree that is bad, and places should have a policy against it. Extremes that lead to silly SNL skits like this one show us that sexual harassment training can indeed reach levels of absurdity: Takeaway? Any and all policies, rules, etc. can be misused, have outliers, etc. The answer is to address the instances of misuse/misapplication. That is NOT what happened with DEI. It, instead, became a not-even-subtle codeword for "reverse discrimination, we must protect our white men!" Oh, and DEI isn't just for large organizations. I work in a mid-size outfit, and if all we did was interview and hire lawyers through our existing network, we'd be limiting the fuck out of our pool. Having an approach that has us look at a broad spectrum of schools, including places that none of us attended, gives us a much better sample size to hire from. When it comes time to hire, we're still going to hire the best candidate who seems like they can perform the specific job the best, but it also means that we may have a minority candidate or two in the mix when we otherwise wouldn't have. And truthfully, that cuts in ALL directions, or it can at a given point in time. Take into account this fact: 60% of college students are female. At many law schools, nearly 70% of the student body is female. If a law firm wants to have diverse perspectives, and attorneys who are familiar with and adept at communicating in and across gender lines, it would seem wise to try to make sure that you at least have decent outreach to the males in the student body, so they drop their resumes too. You still may end up hiring women at a 60-40 clip, because you're going to hire the best candidate for a job, but if you don't get but one male resume for a job, and 10 female resumes, then your odds of hiring a male have dropped below what the baseline should be. None of this matters, though. Because politically, the term "DEI" doesn't have anything to do with that. It means that any policy that doesn't default to white males, and hiring through existing networks (which historically and to present, for many higher-end jobs, are dominated by white men who know other white men), must be banned.
  5. you're not going to believe what I'm about to tell you...
  6. We wandered the desert of barely mediocrity for almost 2 decades because we had shit QBs after shit QBs after shit QBs. It all started with GDGG. Arch, get your fucking shit together. Sark, plug the fucking plug quick if he stays shitty. We cannot let this shit turn into a GDGG situation which gets everyone fired for decades.
  7. Why did Carolina let him walk? He couldn’t lead a bad team.
  8. You answered your own question.
  9. Wilford Brimley was like 38 there.
  10. For old school I'd also throw in Cherry Creek Catfish.
  11. Trysts with South Austin's mom don't count. Rip to one of the best.
  12. Thanks, @Brisketexan for pointing this excellent post out to me. I missed it trying to catch up. I will only add that I shared this entire experience that @Valmy77 describes. It started with quotas that forced big business to hire women and minorities which, in turn, created incentive to make sure these people got the education and experience to fill the jobs they'd been blocked from for decades. Unsurprisingly, white men (I'm one) became angry at being passed over for the first wave of underqualified persons of color or females. I recall thinking and arguing that this was a small sacrifice for a better society when compared to those called to actual war. This would be our temporary sacrifice for America which would have huge longterm upside. Eventually, I was passed over for a position by a lesbian chicana who was skilled at one part of the job, but likely not as good an overall fit as I would have been. It would have been an important step in a career in that field. I was disappointed. I was also sort of gratified that I could walk the talk of my earlier arguments. The whining white men won in the end, I see. Poor babies.
  13. It was because they had like 2 WRs and none of them scared anyone. The RBs were mediocre. The OL was a sieve. Good QB elevates an offense, but the surrounding part scan elevate a QB.
  14. Drone show or not my kids will riot anyways.
  15. You’re (not surprisingly) missing a key element of your company’s plight during that timeframe: a lot of companies were doing anything to make them not come off as racist and more accepting to minorities without fully understanding what that is or how that works. I saw a lot of companies doing shit and as a Black man, my first thought was β€œyou’re going in so hard that it’s clear you don’t know what this means.” Even my college in Texas tried to lean in a lot more, especially during that time frame (George Floyd), and I had to keep telling them β€œthat is not what minorities/Blacks/Latinos are asking you do to. Instead, how about you actually ask what some of this shit means and stop assuming. So part of the reason you and others believe what you believe it because you saw people and companies acting in ways they shouldn’t have been because they failed to actually reach out to minorities to see what they should be doing.
