You guys are wayyyyyy over reacting. This is where ncaa football is with the opt outs and this is where high school football is going to head to. The kid is arguably the best RB in the country. He wants to protect his body for the next level and at some point he will do the same at Texas if he has a shot at the NFL. Talking about pulling his scholarship is stupid. Our roster isn’t littered with guys like him. What this staff needs to do is make sure they get another RB1 to compensate the risk of Blue opting out midway through his junior year. Even if we can get 1 good season from him, you keep him. He’s making a business decision and he has every right to do so. The Texas coaches apparently don’t give a shit. Is it a selfish move to his high school coaches and teammates? Yes. Is it a bad decision for him personally? Probably not considering RBs have such a short life span. Ask Jordan Whittington and Jonathan Gray how their senior year affected them from an injury standpoint and body stand point.14 points

No, I will not engage with you because we view the concept, value, and purpose of life in irreconcilable ways. It's easy to see from everything of yours that I've ever read that I have both a much fuller and more nuanced perspective on a human's life than you possibly ever could, but you don't actually care about listening to anyone who doesn't already match your value set. I will not waste my time. That, and I don't want to deal with your whole...everything. You are the worst, and the only reason I don't have you on ignore is because other people engage with/quote you anyways, so what's the point? I'm going to see your bullshit either way, and sometimes I have something to say about it. I will neg freely on any forum on this site if I think a post is fucked up, bigoted, in bad faith, or just bullshit. Anyone who complains about it is a child. They're fucking internet points.11 points

Some people are just evil and there is no explanation. I wish I could unsee what I saw as I have a 4 and 6 year old daughter. On the other hand, I am proud of the work we did in spite of it all and found who we were looking for quickly.10 points

I might have missed someone else mentioning this, but I'd just like to bring attention to Donkey's phraseology around the concept of "redeeming the child," in the context of a birth precipitated by rape. Redeem the child? That is seriously fucked up, but what else is new.10 points

When your dick is so tiny that you have to carry in the ready position, every moment of your life is an emergency in your head. I have a feeling a lot of those guys carrying in the ready position got bullied/beat up/made fun of a lot in high school. I'm serious about that. I think they have some unresolved mental issues/trauma.8 points

Fucking hell, we had to put Zeus down yesterday. He was a 12-yo Newfie, so we fully realize that we’ve gotten a full life and more out of him, but damn that felt awful. One of the reasons I decided to get a Newfie was the famous epitaph that the English poet Lord Byron wrote on the death of his Newfie Botswain: I thought that was beautiful when I read it and it is more beautiful today because those words just absolutely perfectly describe Zeus. Beauty without vanity? Never seen such a beautiful animal slobber so much... Strength without insolence? In his prime, he weighed 150 with amazing strength. He could have done whatever he wanted in our house, but he only did what he thought we wanted. Courage without ferocity? One trait that I had read about Newfies is that when they sense a threat, they won't bark or growl; they'll just put themselves between the threat and their humans. He was less than a year old when I first saw him do that, stepping between my daughter and a neighbor's new barking dog and just staring it down. Thank you for being in my life for 145 months, buddy.8 points

I'll do my best to shorten this. I knew a guy who was dating a girl in LA in the early 80s in LA. She was an aspiring singer...he was running from some Columbians in South Florida who felt he didn't treat them fairly in a business dealing. Her name was Jennifer and he knew she was from Nashville. One day, she goes home to see her folks and then calls and says for him to come out to Nashville. Tells him to go to John Wayne airport....a plane would take him to Nashville and a car would pick him up. He walks into the back door of the house and his girlfriend says, "Why don't you go in and meet my dad. He is in there with some friends." He walks in to the den and see Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Robert Duvall. It then dawns on him. Jennifer Jennings. From Nashville. Jennifer is actually Duane Eddy's daughter, but Waylon adopted her when he and Jessi got married. They ended up getting married and he works for Waylon and Jessi until the divorce. I've seen the wedding pictures, tons of pics from planes and busses and picture of Jessi coming down the stairs in a short, short night gown. I tried to steal it but he made me give it back.8 points

Bolded for importance. And there are tens of thousands of examples of good and powerful common sense lessons for school kids of all ages to recognize historical systemic issues, and recognize the places, privileges, and disadvantages that people -- including themselves -- may fall into due to no fault or excellence of their own. Those don't grab headlines or the outrage of partisan think tanks, though. We can find dozens of examples of stupid/poorly thought out language and techniques in schools that try to address the bigger picture of race. For example, I think most of us here think that the use of the term "oppressor and oppressed" as applied to school-age kids is not helpful. We can also find dozens of examples of racist conduct, happening in real-time, among school kids right now, today. Kids who tell their classmates they blame them for COVID because they are chinese, kids calling other kids wetbacks and saying that they'll call border patrol on them, all that shit. It happens. In fact, it's been INCREASING in frequency in recent years, after a long trend of declining. I don't want kids called oppressor or oppressed. I also don't want them to be racist shitbags, or to allow racist shitbaggery. An honest evaluation and reckoning of our country's history on race, where that's left us today, and the kind of things we should think about doing in light of those facts, is exactly what I want an educated, critical-thinking society to do. Which means that the discussion belongs in the place where we should learn to do those things: school. And those concepts fall squarely in the bullseye of the broad concept of "critical race theory," so using a broad brush and creating an outsized boogeyman is not only pointless, it's counterproductive. Our society has been deeply emotionally invested in the approach of never admitting that we did anything wrong. And if we did, that was a long time ago, so get over it, things are all good now. It's a lie, it's stupid, and it condemns us to stay in the same rut we've been in. We fucked over black people. We enslaved them. We lynched them. We enacted whole sets of laws to fuck them once they were freed. We turned dogs and water hoses on them. We redlined their neighborhoods. We denied them access to government programs to help people move up, when white people got full access. Etc. etc. ad infinitum. We need to acknowledge ALL of those things. And then acknowledge the reality that the effects of 400 years of fuckery just might not be erased just yet. And then.....have a thoughtful conversation about how we, as a collective group called "Americans," can work to remedy some of that. It baffles me why this is so fucking hard. But apparently, it's not just hard -- it's a threat to all of Western Civilization to even talk about it.7 points

A few semi-related thoughts: 1. I've read a small handful of articles in my field that use a CRT approach. One of the articles was picked up and misrepresented by various right wing national outlets for a small bit of an outrage hit. I may not have agreed or followed every logical leap the articles made, but they all challenged my assumptions and thought processes, making me better at what I do. I shared some of them with my students and it made for lively discussion and they came away with an expanded understanding of their field and how they fit into it. There's a real value and power in the way that CRT approaches things, even if it can be frustrating at times. 2. My limited understanding of CRT is mostly in how it interacts with my field. It has its own technical language and approaches things very differently than most of us are used to thinking. I don't think the explanations you'll see on major media outlets are likely to be full or meaningful. 3. Most of this outrage is third hand. Parents are upset about something, but there's little explanation of what specifically they're upset about, or that explanation doesn't really make sense. Now the fact that parents are upset (which is absolutely true) is used as evidence of a problem. It becomes a self-perpetuating problem. Outrage over outrage, but what's the source? Giving lists of upset people who are upset about being upset isn't really evidence of anything other than our outrage-addicted culture. 4. Since this is mostly focused on education, my drive-by comment is that an education that doesn't upset you or make you uncomfortable (or your kids or whoever) isn't much of an education. If your education simply reenforces your pre-existing worldview, then you might not be learning very much.7 points

I would support legislation whereby a man who knowingly has unprotected sex with a woman who he does not have a pre-existing financial relationship (spouse) is liable for reckless endangerment if a pregnancy (which may be terminated by abortion) occurs. It shall be an affirmative defense if you can prove you used a condom, or believed that other contraception method was in place. Otherwise, you have taken an unreasonable risk of creating an unwanted pregnancy, which is the starting point for every abortion. Y'all good with that? If women have to live with the consequences of their "foolish decision to open their legs and get pregnant," then men should face consequences as well. Right?7 points

And I think you are a patronizing asshole - see the last part of your sentence. The truth is, people like you who are like, "I just don't agree, I think you are wrong." are full of fucking shit. Mrs. Wiggins post just down thread is absolutely spot on. Men want to restrict women, but would not abide by any fucking restrictions on themselves. They like having an underclass of people to serve them.7 points

Per my understanding of this bill, a business owner has to verbally tell people they can't carry guns into their business and can't just post a sign. Why is my right to say what happens in a business that I own superseded by limpdicks like Armybrat and Johnny Sack who are so afraid of life they have to carry a gun with them everywhere they go? Edited to add: This is what was in the initial bill. If I'm factually incorrect and this didn't make it into what Abbott signed, by all means please let me know.6 points

If we are going to have open carry, then the gun should be either holstered (pistol) or slung over your shoulder (long guns). Carrying an AR in the ready position is pure, small dick intimidation tactics, nothing more. This: not this: Your hand shouldn't be on the grip unless there is an actual emergency going down.6 points

I'm neither being coy nor pedantic. I'm being honest. You keep insisting there are CRT profs and I'm telling you no, there are not. One doesn't "study" CRT per se rather they study how CRT can be applied to social situations to explain what or why. I'm not sure why this is lost on you but it is. As mentioned before, there is no professor in America who is hired to teach CRT because CRT isn't a discipline. It's a theory that is applied to social situations in many disciplines. You don't major in CRT. Do I think someone can create a DEI initiative based off of CRT? No. CRT just explains what and why something is happening. DEI initiatives should be based on solving or correcting what is happening. CRT just tells you why. This is my opinion of CRT and how I learned in in my doctoral program as well as how I used it in my dissertation. My "solutions" in my dissertation did not involve CRT; instead, I used CRT to explain why the problem is happening and created my own "solutions" to solve for what the framework (CRT) was showing me through the data I collected.6 points

That's because the "abortion debate" is not about reducing the number of abortions, or protecting the lives of children. Not even in the slightest. Make me poobah of slashing the number of abortions, and protecting children? Cool. 1 -- good sex ed, not magical thinking. 2 -- readily available cheap/free contraception, which is also taught in real sex ed. 3 -- mandatory maternity leave for ALL jobs. 4 -- free childcare (maybe tie it to income level, maybe not -- but the point is, a single mom shouldn't have to choose between getting an abortion or going broke because she can't work without childcare). 5 -- a real, functional child-support apparatus -- the sperm donor is EXACTLY as responsible for a child as the mother. Make that actually happen. I've got others. But if we do those, we'll see the number of abortions plummet, both because women won't have as many unwanted pregnancies, and will have the means to carry a pregnancy to term without suffering financial/work/educational consequences. There is a reason that the "pro-life" movement spends functionally ZERO energy and effort pushing for ANY of those measures (and in fact, actively working AGAINST them). BECAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING "PRO-LIFE." IT NEVER HAS BEEN. It's about a re-assertion of power, almost entirely based on a desired gender dynamic. Women should keep their legs shut, and if they don't, the consequences are on them, and we're gonna tell them so. Male consequences? What, are you some sorta commie fag?6 points

I don't know the frequency of pregnancy through incest, but again, the lack of an exception for either of those seems to reinforce the cruelty emphasis as opposed to any other foundation. Combining this piece of legislation with the transgender legislation, they are placing targets on the backs of those they wish to be subject to their cruelty while they place outside the law those they do not.6 points

I'm struggling to understand why it is odd to you that Nigerians don't suffer from systemic racial policies that took place before they were ever allowed to enter the country. And why does the existence of Nigerian success befuddled you as to how those racist policies affect American descendents of slavery, Jim crow, and the myriad of racist policies throughout American history? Are you under some weird belief that there were 0 consequences from generations ofbracist policies? You can literally take redlining maps from the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s and trace them perfectly along impoverished and high crime areas today and have perfect alignment. Why would Nigerians immigrants (or any black immigrants) be affected by that sort of trauma? You should no more expect Nigerian immigrants to be affected by that specific set of racial trauma than one would expect Slavic immigrants to be affected by it. You have a poor understanding of the black American experience and have a woeful lack of understanding (or curiosity for that matter) of how that experience might still affect folks today.6 points

The America that I was taught to love is one where we strive for equal opportunity for everyone. Have we failed to do so for most of the existence this country. Absolutely. That is why I have stated that systemic racism is historical fact and effects of something like redlining is still felt to this day. Also in an earlier post, I said that I would support reparations in the form of downpayment assistance/subsidies to families who suffered as a result of it. That is "legacy" systemic racism - that does not exist today. For example, I don't believe a black person that goes to UT for undergrad and law school is going to be discriminated against in law firm recruiting because of their color of skin. There is discrimination when hiring summer associates which applies to everyone - grades. There is a very angry, hateful edge to this shit and I hate how it is seemingly designed to create tribalism and resentment when we are living in an age when racist attitudes are unacceptable to the vast, overwhelming majority of people. Where do Asians fit in this oppressor/oppressed matrix. How about Jews - persecuted for millennia and now they are an oppressor. It is a construct that addresses a white boogeyman overlord pulling the strings when the fact is that this country is more diverse than it ever has been with successful people of every color and religion.5 points
