Didn't realize ND and their fanbase imploding would be so delightful to watch. This is basically a feel good story.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
LCHorn replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
I don't think it's that simple; I'd rebut they have a fair pulse on the majority of their constituents that are afraid of change and would be willing to punish the party that impairs choice or results in higher costs (even short-term). We've argued on this over decades on various threads. If you want to get voters on board you need to stand-up a public option that has all the current upsides and that doesn't appear to be what the Affordable Care Act produced, even though a lot of those surveyed are happy with the care they receive under it. -
24-25 Fantasy League (seeking additional members)
Dutchrudder replied to Baboontyme's topic in Basketball
Just an FYI, last year in both my leagues, the NBA cup games leading up to the Final counted, but not the bonus Final game. So don't make a bunch of transactions to add some randos for that 1 game, unless they changed the rules. -
What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Bozo_Casanova replied to crash_davis's topic in Daily Texan
The city auditors office in Austin does a good job. It’s funny how, in every city in America, all the sharp pencil boys who never spent a minute near city hall will always point to the work of city auditors offices to justify external consultant giveaways. -
Oh I’ve noticed that too. The girly girls like volleyball and the less girly girl ones like basketball. Softball is a weird mix. But a lot of girls shy away from The physicality of basketball and it’s really demanding and leads to more injuries. Like most contact sports

BallamaticBevo replied to Baboontyme's topic in Basketball
honestly another dumb fucking reason to hate fantasy basketball. Seriously this week along with the rest periods and the lazy injury report reporting makes basketball laughable comparied to football. Bitter sounding? yes. Still doesn't hide from the fact that the fantasy gods have mailed it in on fantasy basketball. -
I’m enjoying seeing him decline both at his rally and in his social media posts. The fact that he’s telling all of us that for some reason he’s having to take cognitive tests with rooms full of doctors is awesome. It’s gonna be fun to see how MAGA handles his decline.

This station gives far too much air time to Detty, Killer and EA. I rarely listen anymore. Maybe I’ll stop calling in and whipping everyone’s ass.

I thought that was about Cedric Baxter not Justus terry -
I think it's more than that. One of the best documentaries on any subject I've ever watched is Heart of the Game (2005). It follows the single season of an elite high school girls basketball program and all their highs and lows. I can't recommend it enough, regardless of your interest in women's basketball. It's just great storytelling. In there, the head coach talks about how women are naturally averse to physical contact. Boys grow up naturally roughhousing. They thrive on physical contact for the most part. But for girls it's not generally in their nature. So the first practices he literally just has them back to back, physically contacting each other to get more accustomed to it. I think that's part of the huge draw for volleyball over other team sports for women. It still demands a high degree of physicality. The same aspects that are demanded of an elite basketball player are demanded in volleyball. Height. Ability to jump. Twitchiness. The ability to move quickly across the floor. There's plenty of competitiveness. But there's not the constant need for physical contact that basketball demands. No one says this, but when these young girls play both sports and so often naturally gravitate towards volleyball as the sport they prefer, it's my opinion this is a lot of what's going on. I also feel like indoor volleyball tends to attract a higher percentage of girls more in touch with their femininity, whereas sports like basketball and softball (especially mashers) seem to attract more women who are comfortable with more masculine traits. But that's only an opinion. It also wouldn't be clear how much of that is wiring, and how much is socialization, just like all human traits. The other astounding thing to me is how strong the gay community is in volleyball. I never would have even thought about it except for my interactions on volleytalk. I don't know this for a fact, but it seems obvious to me men's volleyball is more open to the community than say, football or basketball are. All of this can get kind of touchy in ways I don't intend for it to. They're just my observations. Doesn't mean they're correct.

Congrats man! I too dropped out and came back, though my stint was only 3 years. That email telling me that I could come back was one of the happiest moments of my life. First time through I was lazy and skipped a lot of classes. Second time around I had such a greater appreciation for being where I was that I never missed another class.

To be fair, most grown people talk about about work literally everywhere. It's their primary means of communication.
