I don't know if things will ultimately be good or bad with recruiting in 2022 with this staff. Too much newness added to the weirdness of the pandemic period and 11 years wandering the CFB desert on top of it all. That considered, Tom Herman landed 2 top 5 and another top 10 class at Texas while alienating recruits, parents, coaches, and handlers; while ignoring top recruits for long stretches; while running a boring offense, a bizarre defense, and losing more than he should have; while having one of the worst recruiting staffs ever assembled at Texas, which is saying something. I have to believe that this staff, with some top-notch, proven recruiters including the HC, and some known excellent evaluators of talent, will ultimately do pretty well. If they win some games and get some bag infrastructure together on top of the basics, they'll kill it.21 points

Crash, I have no idea why you are trying to die on this mountain, but here are the issues Ive had with cabs from 2011-2015 when lyft and uber were finally here. 1. had a pre-scheduled cab pickup at 4am for a 630 flight. 20-25 min drive to the airport from my house should have given me plenty of time to get there. Cab never showed. called cab company, first 30 mins they kept telling me cap would be there. Then they told me they dispatached the driver but driver never acknoledged the dispatch and had gone home. they then told me there were no fucking cabs available at 5am. I had to haul ass to the airport in my own vehicle and leave it in the short term parking lot for almost 3 fucking weeks. that was a wonderful $300 bill. 2. took a pre-called cab with my neighbor to Dell Diamond from basically the domain for Longhorn night. we were quoted a price of ~$60 when we made the reservation. We get there in roughly 25 mins- no traffic to speak of, and its a fucking $100 fare. Driver gave some bullshit excuse about crossing into a diff county fee. we both told the driver to fuck himeself and tossed him exactly $101 he tried to chase us into the stadium demanding a tip.. heres a tip asshole. go fuck yourself. 3. I took a ride back from 6th street sometime in 2013. I think after a football game. get a cab that specifically has "we take visa/mastercard" on the cab door and in the back of the cab itself. we get to my house and give the driver my credit card and he tells me he doesnt take cards, that the machine is broken. I tell him thats not my problem. you take cards, so either run my fucking card or leave. he calls the cops saying I wont pay. i get to wait for the cops to show. he fucking goes off on the cops telling them im a deadbeat and arrest me... blah blah. I calmly hand him the credit card again in front of the cops, while pointing to the we take CC sign. driver goes off.... cops tell him to run the gd card or let me go... driver suddenly is able to run the CC machine and gues what, it worked just fucking fine. no tip, and we all go our seperate ways. found out later that the drivers are forced to pay the CC fee themselves, so they like to act like the machine doesnt work to get cash instead. 4. dont remember when, but just as Rainey St was taking off, I and my lady friend got into a cab from Kung Fu and want to go to Rainey... the fucking cab refused to go, he told me to get out and didnt move.... I didnt understand at the time, and also didnt know that I had the right to be taken there once I got in the cab... turns out it was a common thing on 6th street for years KXAN did several stories on it. The ride was too short and the cabby wanted a longer drive with better fair. We then gave up walked to another bar, and took a diff cab home after. Thats just the ones that stick out to me. nevermind smelly cabs, drivers who kept trying to take the long way to my place, ones who as previously mentioned dont carry any change, and then the drivers that got aggressively mad when you didnt tip what they felt they should get. we already had the fucking cabs vs Uber/Lyft fight when Ann Kitchen and cronies took their 5k "not-a-bribe-but-looks-very-much-like-a-bribe-campagain-contribution-from-yellow-cab" when they banned them for the idiotic fingerprint fight. you are out of your fucking mind if you think uber and lyft are worse than cabs18 points

Ewers isn't that good anyway. I have a buddy that knows one of the jock washers over there and they say Ewers is a real primadonna. He's just boosted by the rating services because he chose Texas first and now the services can't back away because they'll look stupid. He's fearful and maybe gay. He'll be poison in the locker room. He is a vineyard that will only produce undrinkable wine. We're dodging a bullet here. I'd rather have a 2-star that really wants to be a Longhorn than some prissy, unmanly man.17 points

Bullshit. She voted in line with Trump's directives over 90% of the time, far more consistently than her replacement did. She was removed from her position for one thing only: she called out Trump on his bullshit lie that the election was "stolen" from him. She had the audacity to state publicly that the Republican party needed to reject the angry, nationalist rhetoric & lies that Trumpism embraced, and that they needed to return to their principles & work to repair the damages from 4 years of extremism. So you can stop pretending that she was ousted for being an anti-Trump pot banger over the years, because she was anything but that. She never publicly crossed him until the January 6th insurrection attempt fueled by Trump. Not that facts matters to the GQP cult.13 points

A United front behind the losing candidate who incited violence to prevent the peaceful transition of power and whose cabinet members are now calling for a Myanmar like coup against the lawfully elected US government. If you support the Republican Party right now with your vote, you are supporting the end of American democracy. Trump was and is a would be despot that is unfit for office. And that’s true no matter how many times you look in the mirror and tell yourself with waning intensity that you are not one of the bad guys.12 points

Isolated pockets. JFC. Entire states, including Arizona and its "audit," are enacting voting laws premised solely on Trump's big lie. There's a small handful of Republicans that denounce Trump and the associated madness. The rest of them want to "move on" so they can continue with the program without having to confront what they've become and what they've endorsed, explicitly or implicitly.11 points

I don't give a shit as long as I can search by total cost. I hate when the price is good and shows up higher on the lower cost list to see that the price is actually double with the cleaning fee. I think VRBO last time I checked lists by total cost.9 points

i've wanted to post this in numerous threads, but there's too many that it applies to...and they aren't even all political lol some of y'all may follow The Oatmeal and have seen this. i saw it when the author first shared it several years ago. coincidentally it was shortly after i'd had a discussion with my mother that went something like this: mom: right wing bs that was demonstrably false me: "that is a lie" mom: "no it's not!" me: picks up phone to google reality... mom: "oh, don't try and get me with facts!" me: 😳 i'm sure many of y'all have had similar conversations. and obviously we all have this same conversation online daily. a couple of weeks later i saw this...i found it fascinating and it explains so much. it has caused me since to basically 'double check' myself when presented with a position counter to something i have thought, and i like to think that effort has made me a better/smarter/more critical thinker. unfortunately it also makes me think there is literally no way out of our current political discourse. these seeds have been sown and are here for good. anyway... interested to see thoughts on it...

in the past i have assumed you were a serious poster attempting to have reasonable discussion from a different ideological perspective. if you honestly believe the above, you are stunningly naive and/or completely oblivious to what is happening in GA, WI, MI, AZ, PA, TX, etc. if you don't really believe that and are just perpetuating the dangerous lie, you are indeed a troll and deserve every bit of neg rep you reap. THAT^ IS THE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP. they are not in any universe 'walking a fine line'. they are/have mounted an all out assault on democracy. whether you are blind or malicious, you are the problem.8 points

The cab industry killed the cab industry. Cab companies were so shitty that they had a government enforced monopoly & they still failed. Uber/Lyft will return to normal over the next few months once people feel more comfortable in enclosed spaces & as people roll off government assistance.8 points

Whether @GRHorn is a troll or not doesn't matter. As someone has already pointed out, 53% of people who identify as Republicans agree with his expressed views. You can't click an ignore button to not be affected by their influence on our society, you aren't going to neg-ban them to the Rhineland and there is no admin to remove them from physical existence. For better or worse, we all have to coexist with a shit ton of people who think like him. So I engage him and point out the logical holes in his views and arguments. Not because I enjoy debating with a troll or have any real hope of changing his thinking. I do it because I don't want his message to exist unchallenged for others to consume without understanding exactly how wrong, misguided and even evil it is. Part of the conservative modus operandi is to make this all so distasteful, that no one except the loathsome are willing to participate. What is the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil again?7 points

The big mistake is thinking that taxis are a public service. Public transportation is a public service. Taxis are not the bus or light rail. Taxi groups convinced people and govts to think of them as a public service so they could fight competition, limit drivers, etc. The hilariously ironic thing is that they choked themselves to death on their own regulations. You literally just said you would get in your car and go drive down to 6th street and pick up riders (your daughter and friends) right then and there if it would save you, or her, $123. How can you not understand this point?7 points

I think the time for fatwa is near. A damn shame...we're losing trolls that we can shit all over. The trolls really don't have any good material left so, I guess, I'm ok with it. Here's hoping his next iteration is more creative. Also you Texas fans bitching about the Bob's pic should be thankful he took a couple Texas legends off of his av. Willie and Earl would want absolutely nothing to do with this cretin.6 points
