  3. I've danced around on this thread for years, here and on the other board under another handle, but now I am all in. Just did 23 days inpatient in H-Town -- six days in detox and 17 in residential. I'm now on a sort of parole -- nights at home (theoretically -- Mrs MaC ain't ready for that yet) -- and 8 to five at the center. I've got a badass sponsor and I am ready to rip this shit up. As for childhood trauma, hell yeah, in my case. Ages three through eight were fucking horrible for me. I shared some of these stories with my counselor in a group session, and she enrolled me in a grief, loss and trauma group. I told some more stories in there and that counselor kicked me over to the shrinks, one of whom diagnosed me with PTSD. Forty years of PTSD I treated with nothing but alcohol and other substances and risky behaviors. I'm now 2/3 of the way through EMDR therapy and it is making a world of difference -- even if the eye movement test is a flop, the psychotherapy session I've already done leading up to it have made me pinpoint the exact worst moment in my childhood and begin the work on slaying that beast. This chick was on some Hannibal Lecter shit and I was Clarice. If you had a traumatic childhood, you need to work on that shit AND go to 12 Step. AA doesn't care how you got in that seat -- they just want to help you quit drinking, stay quit, and then help others to do the same. (And transform from selfish asshole to selfless man for others, as well.) That's an oversimplification, of course, but after attending about 30 12 step meetings in the last 23 days, that's my take in the broadest terms. I intend to keep coming back. PARC believes in immersion in the steps AND treating the festering wounds that cause or abet it in some of us. I believe the disease is hereditary for some, the result of trauma for others, and others of us are lucky enough to have fallen from a family tree that was irrigated with vodka.and were subject to horrors we couldn't cope with. How many combat veteran drunks might have remained normies were it not for war wounds or sights and sounds they can't erase from their minds?

  4. This thread made my day. I’m serious. I mean I have spanky on ignore he’s one of only a very few ... I have zero interest in listening to anyone that thinks I’m creepy or is adamant about how accepting they are but then insists I’m really a dude. So I haven’t been able to read some of this thread. And another guy said we were weird or something like that. Actually, we can be as normal as anything out there. You know, three kids, little league, drive throughs for dinner laced with guilt, homework, important legal matters with clients everyone knows and respects. Heck even employees and friends. Maybe even cis gender mom friends who ask advice about how to deal with teens. Happy hours with skinny margaritas instead of beer because fucking-A estrogen slows the metabolism down and weight gain is a thing now. Normal with feelings and insecurities and worries. My life now is the same it was except I don’t live with a fucking jackhammer pounding the pavement in my head all day long. I want to live. I want to grow and learn and love. I play tennis and I take piano lessons, Spanish lessons and I read again. I paint and I want to do more. Before, I just drank and escaped. I lost a lot. But I’m happy. I lost the love of my life. We don’t even talk anymore. I’ve got a lesbian girlfriend that loves me more than I can imagine and she loves my boys too. We have a nice life together. I lost a total catch of a straight gal and gained a total catch of a lesbian gal. That’s as much proof about the topic as you need. It’s been four years now. Wow. Came out to you assholes in 2015. A lot has changed. I’m in awe of how fantastic most of you are. The trolls continue to dwindle. Yeah I get bent out of shape on the lulz threads and for a reason - lots of my people aren’t as fortunate as I am. And I continue to want to be good about the issues for them. But in this thread I don’t have anything else to add. Y’all are just bad ass. Thank you. I once thought the best decision I ever made was finding Jesus. Truth is I thought he’d take the gay and the lgbtq away. He didn’t. Transitioning was the best decision I ever made. Estrogen and my therapies related to my transition turned the lights on, made it all become worth it. Yeah, I’m a woman. I went to the mat to earn it. I ran a gauntlet to get here and there were days I didn’t know if I had it in me. I used to think being a man meant being strong. Maybe. But the strongest people I know are women. Yeah I’m a woman. And there’s not anything the spankies of the world can do to take that away.

  16. It's a good write-up. I'll throw out some thoughts. 1) Here's a live look-in at Hudson Card: 2) The search for a TE isn't over, for sure. There's a potential guy out of Arkansas as well. I think this is one where if they can't get a true bad ass, they take on a raw materials guy in the fall that shows up on the radar late. I'd love for Henderson to be groomed into Anthony Beck's role, as he'd be a fit and more athletic/fast in that spot. 3) Broughton is a Slick Willie Lyles special. The $9.95ers should ask around and confirm, but I'm pretty certain at this point. Does that mean Texas won't get him? No. Does that mean this won't be a straightforward recruitment? Yes. While he may stay in the vicinity of home, do not count out vists to SEC shitholes, Oregon, Illinois and Ohio State. Magically Baylor could get an unofficial. I'm not pessimistic here, but for those who haven't been around as long as a lot of us, just dropping in some expectation setting. 4) Josh White is a damned good football player, but apparently isn't yet worth an offer because an inch shorter than presumed. I am not critical of this staff's evaluations, but this one is irritating to me as a recruitnik. Give me some guys that can play and want to go to Texas first and foremost. I don't want to hear about 35 guys in the transfer portal every winter. 5) Take this FWIW, but one of my good friends with no Texas affiliation but in this kind of business does not really like Smalls, at least at the 5 star level. He probably winds up on the line and the 4 DLs in-state that Texas likes are all high potential guys for having championship physical dimensions and they can all play. 6) Conversely, supposedly Clark Philips is a perfect fucking NB/return man. He's not 6 foot, but who gives a fuck with his explosiveness? He's close enough to it. Believe the hype, apparently. 7) Collins has a close relative working inside the AD. He's a legacy. This guy should already be a public commitment. I'm guessing that other staff members have to step in and help out eventually, per the Giles usual. Ridiculous. But hey, he'll continue to sky rocket in the rankings until he commits. 8 ) I don't think anyone has a fucking clue what the plan is at CB besides going all-in on Ringo. It wouldn't shock me if we saw a commitment this weekend, and it also wouldn't shock me if not a single CB in attendance this weekend ever receives a major push to commit from Texas. 9) If they want a commitment or two coming out of this, I have to believe Dixon gets a push. 10) Speaking of Dixon, I think he's the only in-state WR Texas lands this cycle unless they crack the code with Omeire.

  23. let us keep in mind that this is a massively unforced error by senate republicans. say congress passes the bill, and trump vetos. the republicans can tell him to get fucked, as they should. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A CHECK ON THE EXECUTIVE. cowards, the lot of them, led by the lead coward, mitch fucking mcconnell.

  25. I think y’all are misreading the Democratic primary voters just like the Republican primary voters were misread in 2016. The Trump correction will not be a safe play like Biden. It’s going to be an emotional, make us feel good about ourselves candidate like Beto or a total opposite, hyper progressive like Warren. Biden jumps in we’ll have 27 think pieces on his old senate votes and how they’re woefully out of touch and align more with Trump than Democratic policies from the Bernie Bros, 17 think pieces on his Creepy Joe persona, questioning of Anita Hill, and sexist gaffes from the Harris/Gillibrand/Klobuchar gangs, 11 pieces on his high speaker fees and his corporate masters from the Warren Wing, and 2 black twitter threads on how Uncle Joe is not Obama and quit trying to make Grandmaster Joe B happen. Biden waited too late and there are already reams of opposition research waiting to be unleashed on him once he announces. His old, white guyness is going to look very Ralph Northam up against the current field.

  27. Maybe. But I don't think he really wants it. Remember how everyone thought on the eve of Senator Fred Thompson's announcement "well, here we go -- front runner jumping in?" That thing fizzled so damn fast, and all from the fact that he wasn't hungry and didn't really want to campaign. Biden is old. He's served his tours. He'll serve if drafted, but I just don't think he has the energy or will to work for it. And at his age and after his time, I wouldn't blame him. Note: I'm not a huge Biden fan at all; he pissed me off like hell when he was in the Senate. And I don't think he's what we need right now -- he's a comforting security blanket of "but remember how much we liked Obama?" That's not the message we need. That's backwards, not forwards.

  28. Chiropractors often help things feel better when they pop backs/joints or whatever. When they tell you something is “subluxated” or “partially dislocated,” they reveal that they are either profoundly ignorant or crooked. It is OK to pay them to pop your joints for you (not your neck— they sometimes cause strokes) or to hook you up to stim (available from Amazon for less than the cost of one visit, no rx required), but don’t imagine that what they do is more than remotely concerned with science.

  29. We used to have a progressive tax code. We used to have affordable college without massive student loan burdens. We used to have CEO's that were not 1000 times more valuable than the employees. We used to have a thriving middle class. We used to run deficits to build infrastructure during recessions. We used to not allow foriegn ownership of Broadcast radio and Television. Now we run deficits to further reduce the tax burden on millionaires. And a foriegn controlled entity called Fox News spews lies all day long. And we owe all of this to... "The Republican Revolution."

  32. the republicans cannot see past the end of the week. they are operating under such a short term basis that they cannot think through their burn it all down strategies. it is unbelievable, and i cannot believe that there is not a single republican senator with a semblance of a spine to vote out of caucus and think past 2020. to paraphrase hunter thompson, they are shitting in their own nests, but they are shitting in our nest too. when the democrats take over, they will hardline the fuck out of everything, and it will be the legacy of trump and mcconnell. seriously, i cannot stress this enough: fuck you, mitch, you autocratic fuckface.

  35. Excerpt from an Alex Jones deposition: Alex Jones: Look people, they're manipulating the weather with aluminum dioxide, dumping it from planes flown by demonic goblins and the hatchet men of the new world order are having pedophile parties that are catered with literal buffets of the body parts of babies. They're eating babies folks and it doesn't stop there because while you're watching the sulfur fall from the sky you'll never see the demons who take a gaseous form to leak from underneath the cracks of the earth and blind you with an alternate dimension while they ejaculate fire into every orifice of your children! Plaintiff's counsel: I'm sorry. I just wanted you to state your name and the date.

  37. they provide extension education and they conduct research related to the forestry industry it is pretty much the same setup in every state with the exception of a couple.....in New York (a place with a crazy higher ed system like Texas has) Cornell (a mostly private school with some public components) is the land grant university of the state, but SUNY ESF is the forestry land grant school and it is a full public university, but it is next to and tied to Syracuse) and in one other north east state (Maine or Connecticut too lazy to look up which one) 100% of their land grant agencies are just regular state agencies not tied to a university of any type in pretty much every other state (with any type of forestry activity) the forestry agency is tied to the land grant university just like ag research and ag extension is UT has The Bureau of Economic Geology which would probably be at aggy if it was not for UTIMCO and the fact that UT Lands has so much oil and gas, but they are basically the state oil and gas and energy research agency this is 100% the fault of john "bad bull" not-so-sharp who is too fucking stupid to understand how higher education is funded in Texas there are two main formulas I&O (Instruction and Operation) that pays for teachers and administrators and staff and Infrastructure that pays for buildings and classrooms and labs each of those formulas is based around enrollment, but they are also based around enrollment in different types of degree plans and in classifications of the students (undergrad, masters, PhD, professional) they "normalize" Liberal Arts to a 1 because those are the least expensive programs to run both in terms of faculty hiring and classroom and lab needs and it goes up from there with natural sciences being something like a 5 and business an 8 and nursing and engineering a 10 and vet and pharmacy programs a 15 (they are expensive to run)........those "factors" are not exact I am too lazy to look them up, but that is about how the break down goes then of course higher funding for masters over undergrad and PhDs over masters so if you have 100 liberal arts undergrad students you get say $100(1)(X) (x being undergrad) per student and natural sciences 100(5)(X) and perhaps 100 business masters students then 100(8)(Y) (Y being masters) and 100 engineering PhD students 100(10)(Z) (Z being PhD) so if you are a university run by a shit for brains and you toss open the doors for more students and you go from a university with a high ratio of engineering and business students and a low (but still significant) graduate enrollment and suddenly you have a higher % of undergrad liberal arts and social science undergrads and your % of grad students relative to undergrads decreases well your fucking formula funding goes in the toilet especially relative to a university with a much higher graduate enrollment and a university that has not allowed their undergrad soft and social science and liberal arts enrollment to outpace the rest of the university the idiot not-so-sharp basically had to admit his lack of understanding of this to the legislature a couple of years back with (I believe) McRaven and Renu K sitting there next to his dumb ass not to mention with UT Austin, aggy collie station and PVAMU being the only universities to get "excellence funding" from the PUF and that funding being NOT based on enrollment or formulas, but still looked at as state funding....well for every student you add in any degree program at any classification you are allocating the same amount of PUF excellence funding (growing with investment growth over time obviously) to a larger number of total students
