  6. Trump would have been a better person had he been subject ass-kickings in his arrogant youth. You lose the habit of spewing out childish insults at anyone that makes you feel insecure. You maybe learn a little humility when your nose is bleeding for a good reason. Hell, just the experience of squaring up with someone might have given this soft bully some substance. This isn't a man. It's a noxious cloud.

  8. No, it's not. "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed." Please elaborate on your interpretation of the bold portion of that text that leads you to believe non-citizens shouldn't be counted. The text even supplies quite directly the only exception to the count. You're a complete and total moron.

  11. I've always thought the horns down thing was fucking dumb as shit. And yeah, there's about a million dipshit redneck OU fans in this state that have bought Texas stickers just so they can affix them upside down on the back window of their beat-to-shit 1979 Ford pickup. I always thought that was peak sooner dip-shit-ery. You literally gave your hated rival money just to show how much you hate them. Way to go, moron.

  16. I don’t care what a fan does, but during athletic events the players & coaches on both sides should be evenly penalized for openly taunting. What Roy Williams did was not taunting the other team he just scored against. That was a shitty call by a shitty ref. On the other hand, Herman should’ve gotten a sideline penalty for mocking that little bitch Mizzou QB in the Texas Bowl. The aggy track relay runners should have been told to wear their event numbers right side up, or face disqualification. Fuck Houston Nutt. Fuck that cheating Switzer. Fuck aggy. That no neck, stubby arm Slate guy represents the dirt burglars perfectly.

  19. Wow. This is a sentiment that has never been expressed before. What a prescient insight., and valuable contribution. If you want to be technical, it's not really kids selecting other schools that causes folks to meltdown. It's the, often, attributable failures of the coaching staff that pisses people off. So basically, people melt down because of staff weaknesses. Kids choosing to go elsewhere is simply the manifestation and result of the failures. But thanks for stopping by to tell everyone else exactly how they should behave and react. Mighty big of you.

  21. They literally counted slaves for congressional apportionment. The census is intended to get the most accurate count possible of people residing in the US, immigration and citizenship status aside. Its not *supposed* to be a tool for political hacks to goose congressional seats to be biased against brown people.

  28. I don't know that child rape was more acceptable in the 70 and 80s. There is surely horrible negligence in allowing the child Drew Barrymore to party with adults and become a drug addict at a very young age. I had always viewed Woody Allen's Manhattan as a stellar movie. Allen's character's deep involvemtn with a high schooler raised an eyebrow at first, but I went along with it after the initial shock. Mariel Hemmingway, the perfect object for a Svengali as a contrast to the real women of Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton worked dramatically. Now I wonder at my complacence. My disposition is changed. A full grown man is picking up a high schooler at her parents's house. Troubling to say the least. Dramatically, it still works as the fleeting ideal of love, but it's gross and selfish and exploitive. Can this be a product of the boomer notion that we will never be old, never be not young and the advertising pandering to that notion? I haven't a clue. With Me, too, increasing stories of pedophiles, and the sexist posturing on the internet ("would" written by internet nobodies when looking at a famous woman they'd have no chance with) has made me realize what a shit world there is out there for women. My God, Baylor and the lack of punishment for institutionally punishing victims only emphasized this shit world. Things must change. Epstein must be brought very low if the allegations are true. The non-men who partook of the sex slaves should be destroyed as well. The whole thing is sickening, sad, and anger inducing. Wealthy predators having a good time with no regard for whom they exploit or what it means about who they are themselves. I increasingly take up the cause of women. Feminism seemed to be about equal pay and opportunity. It's so much more.

  30. Democratic Socialism is a scam. “An economic system in which the production and distribution of goods are controlled substantially by the government rather than by private enterprise, and in which cooperation rather than competition guides economic activities.” So you get a simple majority of brainwashed fuckheads who think the government knows best and will "give away" the resources of the worker to the non-worker. It all collapses every time it's tried. Millennials have no idea what socialism, capitalism, or fascism is. The only fucked part about Capitalism is croney capitalism. Get rid of the croneys, the market will handle the distribution of goods.

  32. I have always, my entire life, greeted people with a "howdy." Not an in-your-face "howdy" like aggy does, but "howdy" all the same. It is NOT an aggy thing, it is an old school Texas thing. In the 1970s in Llano, San Angelo, Marfa, Harlingen, and a half dozen other places where my family was scattered about, I'd visit relatives with zero connection to the li'l farming school in the armpit of Texas, and they'd all say "howdy" as a greeting. I get the feeling the term went out of favor, actually, as soon as the media presence for aggy increased enough that people started associating it with Texas A&M. They are so obnoxious that they ruin everything they touch, including a good old fashioned Texas greeting.

  37. And you’d still need a minimum of $250,000 gross to pay for income taxes and have about $50,000 to live on and still save 70%. And that’s after owning your home. So saving 70% is out of reach for 97.5% of folks without question. I’m at 27-30% savings of gross not counting principal pay down on my mortgage and I feel broke. Of course I like nice cars, a tricked out boat, frequent and nice vacations and a hot woman by my side. Oh and those three boys! Wheretofore thankfully I have mastered this move... But I’m also uninterested in the classic retirement. I’m 43 and working toward a part time schedule by the time I’m 55 without geographic constraints and possibly even outside client related work. If I can get there, then I’ll go until I can’t function at which time I will take myself out to the pasture and do it myself if I have to. Very little years not working in some capacity. So fuck it, spend what you’ve got as long as you’ve got enough for 10 years if shit starts going down and you don’t realize it yet.

  42. damn interesting. from reddit comments. 102 more replies level 2 Raekith 1.4k points·7 hours ago·edited 4 minutes ago 22 Shamelessly hijacking the top comment to give some background about what's going on here. These guys are TACLET, or Tactical Law Enforcement Team. Their primary mission is just like you see it. They're basically the special forces of the Coast Guard (or at least that's what they tell their moms!). What you're seeing is not actually a submarine, but what's referred to as a semi-submersible. It operates similar to a low-profile vessel, where the goal is to disguise the vessel as much as possible in the ocean, not just from boats pulling up alongside, but also from aircraft flying overhead. The semi-submersible is referred to within the CG as the white unicorn, due to its rarity. Not rarity in terms of how many make runs, but rarity in how hard they are to successfully interdict. Often there will be one spotted, and by the time a cutter is able to get on-scene (these guys are launched from one of the larger CG boats, spending weeks to months out at a time hunting these bad guys) the seas will kick up, the overhead asset will have to return to base, or any combination of things will happen and they'll slip through. It's not unheard of for the surface small boat to be within half a mile of one of these, and not be able to find it. They really are that hard to find. So yes, the aggressive pointing, the gung-ho "eff these guys, I'm jumpin on this b!" attitude, it's all from adrenaline at finally catching something that very, very few people can claim to have caught. And they deserve full credit for their ballsy takedowns, because they HAVE to be fast. These semi-submersibles are rigged to be scuttled at a moment's notice, making it incredibly important not just to get onboard fast, but also to get all the smugglers inside out, fast. And even then, it's dangerous to go inside one after these guys get out, because you never know what you'll find. It could literally sink underneath you. Edit: Wow, gilded and everything! Alright! Guess I got some living up to that to do. I'll try to answer some of the bigger questions I've seen. Why the pointing? The person pointing is the Boarding Officer (the person in charge of the boarding). What he is doing is effecting a lawful stop on a vessel on the high seas, which the CG has the authority to do under multiple U.S. statues, most notably 14 USC 89A, if you want to go look it up. Effecting a lawful stop requires several steps. You must order a vessel to heave to (stop). Only then on failure to abide by the order of the boarding officer is the CG allowed to board the vessel. (There's some other legalities involved usually, like trying to determine country of origin, getting their permission to board, seeing if they even claim the boat, etc.). Long story short, he had to make a concerted effort to order the boat to stop in order to legally jump onboard and kick their door in. Why does the video cut off where it does? Legal reasons. This video is a bodycam being worn by one of the boarding team members. It's being put out there for good press, but the remainder of the video is still very much property of CG legal, and will be used for active prosecution of these smugglers. Hence why it's cut off where it is. If y'all have any more specific questions, feel free to post them and I'll do my best to answer! Edit 2: Big question I've been seeing is why rig it to scuttle? It's simple, and it's also the reason why the boarding team is wearing body cameras: evidence. The goal of these smugglers is to sink the evidence of their smuggling exploits, thereby possibly reducing or even eliminating their charges by turning the boarding into a SOLAS (safety of life at sea) issue rather than one of a lawful interdiction of a drug smuggling vessel. Remember, these guys that are being picked up are small fries in the grand scheme of the smuggling venture. Often times they're paid, blackmailed, or even threatened into it (not just threats to them, but to their family too!). So, they're told to scuttle the vessel if they get stopped, not for their own sakes, but for the sake of the people in charge. Dropping the vessel to the bottom removes evidence first and foremost, but it also removes a lot of extra information that could possibly tie that particular smuggling venture to people, places, or organizations either in the originating country, or the destination country. People would literally kill (and have) to get information about those in charge. Edit 3: Another gilding!? Wow! Alright, let's answer some more questions! How are the guys supposed to know they're being pointed at/told to stop/etc? The answer to that is that it is immaterial to actual prosecution. Your naval "rules of the road" aka COLREGs (or International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea) require that the person driving a vessel, ANY vessel (including these semi-submersibles) maintain situational awareness at all times. This includes maintaining the ability to hear shouted commands from an LEO (law enforcement officer), provided that said LEO gives an honest effort to making themselves heard. Regardless of whether or not these smugglers abide by those regulations, or have even heard of them, they're still bound by them. Thus, it doesn't matter if they can't hear because they're supposed to be TRYING to hear. Why don't they just sail at night? They do. These vessels don't go very fast. They typically only make between 5-10 knots (nautical miles per hour, which is slightly longer than a regular mile at 6000' vs 5280'). Your typical trip for these vessels is long. Very, very long. Without going into excessive details regarding typical departure and arrival areas, expect trips of anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 miles. Even making the break-neck speed of 10 knots, that's a trip of half a week to over a week, steaming constantly! What happens when the vessel is scuttled? Well, it sinks. What you're seeing from the very end of the body camera, looking down in the cabin? That's about it. There's not much else to it for livable space. The cargo are packed full to the brim, necessarily so, because the cargo onboard actually acts as ballast for these vessels. They're incredibly unstable once bales start to get removed, usually resulting in a capsize and sinking! It's a dangerous game to remove more than a few bales for evidence! The remainder of the vessel is taken up with the diesel engine and a whole host of fuel. These guys typically subsist on water, snack foods like chips, gatorades, and the like. Typical gamer fuel, all told. Almost always operating in a group of three so one person can be sleeping, one person can be driving, and one person can be awake to pop the scuttling valve if they get the knock of love from above. Do they get out? To the best of my knowledge, none have actually drowned after being interdicted like this, typically because as soon as ANYONE goes in the water, smuggler or crew member, alike, the focus shifts immediately. At the end of the day, the Coast Guard is in the business of saving lives, even if those saved belong to criminals.

  43. 1. You realize that non-citizen /= illegals, right? It would also include legal permanent residents, etc. 2. Lol. You think that the Supreme Court needs to issue an opinion to establish the meaning of the word “persons”? It’s plain text. IDGAF what the makeup of the court is...that’s a 7-2 deviation at worst. ETA: handguns and assault style weapons didn’t exist when the framers wrote the 2nd Amendment. I assume you are cool with stating that it just covers muskets?
