  5. Just sharing some excitement in this messed up world. Today is the day the ordering of the 992 GT3 opened up. This bad boy is now ordered and should be here by the end of the year. Manual box (cause fun) and no PCCB's (cause they suck to replace), bucket seats (cause harness) and shark blue sticking with carbon on the interior. Feels like Christmas morning.

  6. Update: Cousin and partner both back home safely. Both spent at least three days in the ICU. Apparently they won’t tell them (if they tested them) what strain or variant they were infected with. Doctors still can’t explain their reactions. At least both are home safe and healthy.

  9. Their world is caving in. I know a lot of people here think they’re just as powerful as before and Trump will win in 2024 etc but that’s all their fantasy. As Delta and other major companies begin to cancel these fuckers and the states that back their policies, they’re up shit creek. Now will they go out with a whimper? Probably not - I could buy the Brisket visions...they would rather this country and world be done, if they’re gonna be cancelled. In the end I’m not wasting my time worrying about them. I’ll keep pointing out how stupid they are and I laugh as I get less and less pushback. They’re on the run. Bury ‘em.

  11. Man there sure are a lot of people upset that some other people left UT after one year to go make millions of guaranteed dollars but are still more identified as Longhorns than they are. If any of us had millions on the table to leave Texas after a year we would have taken the money and been out of the room before they even finished asking the question. And we'd still be just as much Longhorns as we are now. Just like those players are.

  12. People do realize Beard can get the NBA Horns back aligned too, right? I don’t get the sense our NBA Horns are saying only Ivey can bring back their support. I do get the sense they just want a coach who knows what the fuck he’s doing.

  14. As a point of order it’d be nice when non religious people argue against religion if they did so either in good faith or with some modicum of knowledge and context. christianity was the most progressive force for change around at the time. The religion focused on the disadvantaged and spread like wildfire among women and slaves bc the message was so radical- we are all equal in Gods eyes. women and poor were about a million times closer to equality in the early church than anywhere else in that society, and as far as race goes we still haven’t caught up to what the church calls us to. I am perfectly willing to stipulate that I could well be wasting my time, money and life believing in something that’s not true bc I need that as a crutch to get through life. I won’t, however, nod my head and go along with pure unadulterated nonsense like this. No organization is divorced from its time and context. Was the first century church 21st century western world? Of course not. But it was really really really radically progressive for its time.

  16. Obviously you've never been to the East Coast. If this country wasn't so stupid and greedy we'd have Amtrak everywhere. I don't understand why we are so set on either high-speed rail or nothing. Plain old trains are fine, and who in Houston is in such a hurry to get to Dallas, anyway? I guess since we are starting from scratch with new tracks they might as well be high-speed, but torpedoing passenger rail in this country was a typically American short-term profits over common sense blunder.

  17. Coming up on 48 hours since my 2nd Moderna. Very minor symptoms. Comparing it to the near death experience my wife went through, I have come to a sound conclusion. On the way to get my shot, I stopped at Whataburger. On the way to her shot, my wife did not stop at Whataburger. I had negligible side effects. My wife had severe side effects. Therefore, if you eat at Whataburger prior to receiving your shot, you will experience no side effects.

  20. I don’t think we have a thread on the 2016 class so I’ll just post this here. Baron Browning 2016: Freakish athlete who needs to learn how to play linebacker. Baron Browning 2021: Freakish athlete who needs to learn how to play linebacker. I have no doubt he would’ve been a bust for us even if we had landed him.

  22. Your engaging in nonsense right now. It’s possible you don’t know it’s nonsense- or- it’s possible that you are arguing in bad faith. I’m certainly not interested in going through this all day with you, but you said religious text, and that can’t be divorced from the context of the time it was written. At the time that passage was written (and you only quoted half of it by the way- again- I don’t know if you are arguing in bad faith or ignorance) women were basically treated like chattel and slaves for their husbands. They were bought and sold, forced into marriages they didn’t want to be in, considered little more than breeding stock in many places, and in general were not considered to be worthy of any respect and certainly not equality either in practice or under the law. the passage you quoted is essentially a two part exhortation from Paul: 1) man- love your wives as Christ loved the church- self sacrificing for her to the point of torture and death 2) women- submit to their husbands. That might sound odd to a 21st century American and I will certainly stipulate that there are mouth breathers and morons that pick and choose passages from the text that are divorced from the actual text, but I can promise you without the slightest doubt that the reason this thing spread like wild fire amongst women throughout the Jewish community in 33 CE is because it was such a radical change for the better in their lives. This is the last I’m going to say on this subject. You made a really poor argument. You could always try to walk away from it and say “my bad” or you could Double down in zealotry. You got this much of a response from me bc I’m going to assume you are arguing in good faith and contextual ignorance, but at either rate that’s about all I have to give on the subject today before I get up and go to work. TL/DR- there are all sorts of arguments against the church out there. There is no need to make any up out of whole cloth and divorced from context. This is a site for educated and enlightened people. We don’t have to all agree with anything but we should be able to talk to each other about historical events in a context that doesn’t completely ignore history. I’ve always prayed for and desires more certainty in my faith. I ha e the nagging fear that none of this is real and I’m wasting my life- or else there is a higher power and we are getting it all wrong. I’m not a zealot unable to listen to someone telling me I’m wrong. But that’s not what you are doing here my man- you’ve got the argument totally wrong. Like, factually so.

  28. Fuck it. All these lists of coaches are so uninspiring that not only are none of them home runs, few of them seem even better than a double. Might as well give Ivey a chance. He can start from scratch and build a new team culture with his own degree of east coast toughness and grind, backed by endorsements and buy-in of Texas' not inconsiderable NBA fraternity.

  30. Perfect example of why I posted that meme earlier. Depending on where you get your news from, black people are behind the violence and have taken it to another level. Yes there has always been tension between blacks and Asians in the poor communities. Especially, where there is an Asian owned business(might be different up North). So why all of the sudden interest? And why is it being framed as some mass onslaught? Because these type of incidents didn't just start happening. And the alternative to narrative is that white supremacy is behind the rise in violence against Asians. Yet one of their biggest show cases is about sex not race. The white supremacy angle media will ignore that because a crazy sumbitch who just killed 8 people is embarrassed to be racist, obviously. Before you even get to the rise in anti-Asian violence trope, you should ask yourself if this new? Or is it just being reported with a certain narrative in mind.
