Parker Thune (OU Rivals mod) on Fasusi βYeah, heβs expected at Texas this weekend and letβs just say the vibes are not great. Not great at all. And needless to say, if he were to decommit, that might have a major ripple effect with this class. Heβs too good and too prominent for that not to be the case. This came as a shock to people in the Switzer Center, too, which is never a good sign.β17 points

A few weeks ago, saw a random Reddit post from someone who had been homeless, and finally was in their first apartment. They showed the food and cooking supplies they had bought, and were lamenting that they spent so much on that, they only had $18 to last the rest of the month. And, based on what she had spent, she could really only eat one meal a day anyway. Some actually kind-hearted folks responded, breaking down the food purchase choices made. There were a LOT of "convenience" items on her counter -- things like pre-shredded hashbrowns, pre-cooked chicken fajita slices, etc. It was clear that she really didn't have any idea how to cook or put meals together. Folks broke down for her things like "you spend $3 on a 1 lb bag of shredded hash browns that you'll get three servings out of. For $2.50, you could have bought a 5 lb sack of whole potatoes that you can bake, mash, roast, etc. You bought pre-cooked chicken, 12 oz for $6. You could have bought 3 lbs of chicken leg quarters for less than that. Roast them, and you have 5 meals." Poverty itself is a poverty trap. One thing goes wrong and you get a $50 late charge, then you can't afford groceries next week. And you spend too much on groceries because NOBODY ever taught you how to actually cook and use whole, simple ingredients. It struck me at the beginning of the pandemic, when certain things were hard to find....I went into a Dollar General that was near my barber shop. I was able to get TP, in a 4-pack. I was able to get a single container of bleach wipes. First, because panicking suburban women with money weren't swarming the store and buying 4,000 rolls of TP at a time. But also because the kind of people who shop at Dollar General do NOT buy "in bulk," because they can't afford to buy in bulk. They have $75 a week to spend on groceries and necessities. So, they buy their TP 4 rolls at a time. Which ultimately costs MORE. It's the old Terry Pratchett "boots" theory of socioeconomics: To bring it back to this topic, so many of the people who suffer on the economic margins don't realize that the very people they just voted for are those who most support the most predatory economic model possible. MORE fines, MORE late charges, MORE "free market" to fuck over and extract every possible penny from the poor, because while they don't have MUCH money, a little money from 100 million people added together is a lot of fucking money. And yes, the Democratic party's failure to face that phenomenon head-on in recent decades has made them a less attractive alternative. People picked the Leopards Who Will Eat Their Face as opposed to the Leopards of Indifference. It's dumb as hell.....but the Leopards of Indifference are not without blame.16 points

So we all need a bunch of "I did this" stickers with Trump instead of Biden and plaster them everywhere just like those idiots did the last 4 years.15 points

Regarding Ffrench, something to consider is that $9.95ers are being told things from the Ffrench camp that the Ffrench camp may not be conveying to Texas folks. If true, that's usually not good. One thing that is alleged is that UF and Miami are offering stupid numbers. Missouri claimed the ability to make a crazy offer to Wingo last year, late. "Ask them to show you proof that they can make that happen." Missouri responded that they'd "figure it out" and Wingo signed with Texas. Miami and Florida are suddenly throwing around numbers with players that they haven't all cycle. Maybe they've been holding back, maybe they've had an influx of money (you can just feel the excitement around Sun Belt Billy!), or maybe they're doing the same shit as Missouri, which has already gotten UF in trouble before. On Fasusi, it's far more likely that he signs with Texas or ATM than OU at this point.15 points

Seeing that reminded me of another aspect of the story I saw on Reddit of the gal who spent all her money on food and cookware and stuff in her first apartment. That aspect being the COOKWARE. She bought a brand new pot and pan set, brand new cookies sheets, etc., which set her back like $50-60. And clearly you need cookware. But the critiques were "why buy that new? Goodwill is your friend." And that's damned true. If I had to, I could outfit my kitchen with the essentials (pots and pans, baking sheet) for probably under $10-15. And that reminded me of something I remember from back when we did garage sales: whatever kitchen equipment I had for sale, a hispanic family (typically not even speaking english) would swoop in and clean me out of all that stuff for a couple of bucks. So what occurred to me was how recent hispanic immigrants knew how to be poor. They immediately knew to hit thrift stores, garage sales, etc. They would outfit a kitchen and clothe their family in the basics for a few bucks. That is because they often came from a place/culture where REAL poverty was ubiquitous. Compare that to Americans who - while MANY are poor - we maybe don't "know how to be poor" as well as folks from elsewhere. Our years of postwar prosperity have beaten that out of us (compare that to the perspective your depression-era grandparents had, where they didn't throw anything else, were thrifty to an annoying fault, etc.). Just an observation, which does tie into our "dissatisfaction with the status quo" that leads to people voting for the leopards. We are PISSED because a fast food combo meal is $12. But recall how most of us on this board....rarely got fast food growing up. It was a treat. Our parents were products of thrifty parents, and it showed. The idea of "I'm deprived and money is too tight" is a very different idea in 2024 America than it is in much of the world, or even America of 50 years ago. And it warps our fucking thinking. We aren't getting enough golden eggs, so we resort to killing the goose.13 points

They plan on working with Terry in the backfield quite a bit, plus the other 2 TB signees, plus Gibson, plus Baxter coming back and Wisner being an experienced starter. Unless there's a chance to land a proven badass for cheap in the portal, the portal focus is going to be elsewhere. Specifically, DT, WR, and STs. Targets of opportunity at any position will be a part of the mix.12 points

I guess it's as good a theory as any. For me, the problem is that the coalition did not turn out to vote, rather than Trump supporters overwhelming the polls. Trump: 74M (2020) ----> 76M (2024) Biden/Harris: 81M (2020) ----> 74M (2024) Let's suppose that 2 million votes switched from the Dem side to the GQP side, and nothing else changed. That's bad, but Harris would've still garnered 79 million votes, or 3 million more than Trump. She likely would've won fairly easily in the Electoral College. But, no, there are 5 million who voted in 2020 and decided "fuck it" in 2024 and didn't bother.12 points

A 12 pack is about $9, and it is mostly because people are willing to pay for it. When their inventory gets too high, they just revert to sales of 3 12-packs for $4/each. At the grocery store you can see people stocking up on it then. It is entirely price gouging piggybacking on inflation. Inflation was really about 8%. What we saw in the stores were much higher than 8%. Combine that with multiple egg shortages due to disease outbreak, the prices for those rocketed up as well. The other issue is that we do not have a Teddy Roosevelt type of leadership to clamp down on the reactive and cartel type behaviors of price fixing. If someone sells you a product that which you are addicted, they can raise the price and their buddy can raise the price and both of you benefit. The free market is not so free.11 points

Ukraine hits Russian territory with ATACMS for the first time, - source https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/ukrayina-vpershe-vdarila-atacms-teritoriyi-1732007549.html In Bryansk Oblast, so the reporting was wrong about it being limited to Kursk. According to Bloomberg (KYHorn: original reporting is in the link above), Ukrainian forces conducted the first ATACMS strike against positions inside Russia. Bloomberg claims that the "western part" of the Bryansk region was struck last night, but I assume that it was in fact Karachev with its 67th GRAU arsenal, which is in the east of that province. I reported regarding this in the morning. This confirms also my suspicions I had when the news made its round that ATACMS could be only used in Kursk. This was likely a decoy message.11 points

FFS people why are you arguing Doctor Ozβ policy ideas and playing into that deflection? Heβs a celebrity TV doc and it doesnβt make a shit what his policy ideas are, he has no business running the nationβs largest social benefit program. βWell Bob Vila knows his way around a job site, letβs hear his ideas for HUD.β It goes all the way to the top, even if DJT had good ideas, heβs a fake boss from TV. He has no business being CINC of the global hegemon and all the people who put him there are really damn stupid. And yes, I stand by that, 48.9 percent of the adult electorate is stupid.10 points

If a Democrat Senator doesn't ask RFK during confirmation hearings "Mr. Kennedy, during a divorce proceeding you alleged that due to a worm that had "eaten part of your brain" you were incapable of paying alimony. How are you caple of holding a Cabinet level position based on that?" then I will be very unhappy.10 points

We were scheduled to spend Thanksgiving with my very large extended family on my mother's side. They are small-town, South Texas, blue collar people for the most part. They are 99% Trumpers. As are my parents, who are single issue voters (abortion). I don't discuss politics with them and find it pretty easy to avoid the topic if it comes up. Plus, I'm pretty sure they all think that I think like they do. We have decided to just do Thanksgiving with just our immediate family - me, my wife and our three boys. We rented a cabin on the river in the Hill Country and we're going to spend the week being together, fishing, canoeing, exploring, seeing the sights. We're not doing this to punish my relatives, at all. This is about us and doing what we need to do not to feel totally depressed and isolated. But, there is a small part of me that hopes that some of them notice we're gone and understand why and regret it.9 points
