I prefer not to document my parents descent into paranoia and their journey to becoming openly and proudly racist.
That was the beauty of MIL’s posts - they were the most mundane things and she inadvertently and invariably would type them out in verse form, so they read like poetry, but the subject matter was always stuff like the nice flowers you could get at Costco or whether anyone had any recommendations for garage door repairs. And she’d “like” her own stuff and respond to herself.

Akina posts like everyone's 70 year old parent or grandparent on twitter or Facebook. No wonder all the fucking olds here love him.
My wife and I took all my MIL’s Facebook posts and made it into a book, which we gave out as Xmas gifts one year.

When I was registering in person in the 80's, my dad had actually gone back to school as well.
He already had a successful career with a string of Big and Tall shops.
Anyway, the day of registration, I'm waiting in line with my buddy Derek. Dad shows up and couldn't believe the lines, so he took matters into his own hands.
He had his limo driver pose out front of the building with a sign that said Bruce Springsteen.
Place cleared out quick....got into that Astronomy class!

5-0 against those 2 guys. Thats not exactly a fluke.
We had a similar argument a year ago about whether we had sufficient evidence to dismiss the idea that Sark could win championships.

You think he had those at Sioux Falls when he was winning championships?
No, I have no idea if he had any sort of talent advantages at Sioux Falls, and I’m not denying that he’s a really good coach. I’m saying that h2h wins in a few games doesn’t necessarily tell us much about how good of a coach he is relative to Sark or Lanning.

He beat Sark and Lanning twice. If those 3 guys are Klatt's top picks then DeBoer should be first of the 3 and put Bama in a good position to keep trucking. Especially if Saban sticks around to work the alumni.
I mean, context here matters. Beating the 2022 longhorns without Bijan and others isn’t really anything. Would we say Sark is clearly better if Mitchell had caught that last pass? Are we sure about how good he is without a QB in his mid-20s with freakish accuracy and first round WRs?

It was mostly the lower division Calculus classes/Business Math classes and maybe a particular English/Lit class that I had a hard time adding.
That and any class that didn’t meet on Fridays.

The first time you tried to register on Tex, you’d go in thinking you had your semester lined up perfectly. Then within 3 minutes that motherfucker would be hanging up on you after telling you that you didn’t get any of the classes you wanted and you’d be left holding the phone, frozen, wondering what in the fuck just happened.
You eventually learned to go into your calls with Tex with a fucking binder full of decision trees and emergency plans like you were in Mission Control.

Yep, I was reporting Live to my buddies flying in today and tomorrow on shit at Miami airport, landing at St. Thomas airport, time spent waiting for luggage at baggage claim/ bar serving drinks in plastic roadie cups at baggage claim, and ground transportation to local accommodations. (Mexican fell into the last group.)
No humble brag yet. I am not standing in a Frenchtown hotel like my married friends, I am staying in a less-than ideal AirBnB in a convenient part of town (West Amelia) that is near the cruise port.
The first neighbor I saw when I arrived to the dilapidated building (that somehow looked better on AirBnB looked like he might charge me for a fight…
…but backed down.
But I peeked down through a window today and the cock look like he was waiting to start something.
If any of my married friends arriving soon had booked this spot, they likely wouldn’t still be married by Valentine’s Day.
The humble bragging will start tomorrow when I board the Sea Dream yacht as one of 110 guests of the “birthday couple” (Austin native girl/ Dallas native guy) as we take over the entire “yacht” for 3+ days & 3 nights as we dock around the British Virgin Islands on the hosts’ dime.
1) what the fuck is a “birthday couple?”
2) if my friend invited me to a goddamn birthday party (adult birthday parties, Christ) that required me to travel and be stuck on a boat for 3 days with a bunch of other people, and I actually had to go, I would get a crew together and give him the Full Metal Jacket treatment one night…

Why is this always presented a a binary choice? Isn’t the most likely answer that they’re both great, and they both necessarily had to be great to accomplish what they did?
Brady in 2001 wasn’t anything like what Brady became in later years. That team won it all on scheme and defense. In those early years, NE was thought of as a defensive team that was good enough on offense.
And to Huck’s point - the SB losses to the Giants (and many other playoff games) were low-scoring games and, at least one of them required an improbable miracle play by the NYG to win it. (Conversely, they won a SB because the Seahawks threw a pass at the goal line despite having the best short-yardage RB in the league. Game of inches I guess.)
You don’t do what NE did for 20 years without a great coach AND a great QB. It’s silly to try to dissect who gets credit for what.

And this, to me, speaks to the beauty of science and research - it is all there, the methods, the data, the analysis, the rationale. It is all laid out in black and white. It isn’t an editorial.
As such, if you want to argue the science, have at it - but argue the actual science. Point out what you think is flawed in the actual science. That’s not what conspiracy kooks even try to do.
Now, if you want to argue about how the science should be applied to society from a policy perspective- as is usually the motivation for people who make issues out of these things - that’s perfectly fine, and reasonable people can certainly disagree about this, because societies and cultures are incredibly complex.
But don’t try to make your point by discrediting the actual science unless you can, you know, intelligently cite how the actual science is flawed, which means demonstrating that a whole bunch of really dedicated people all got something wrong in every paper that it relevant to a field.

My roommate in college wound up getting the highest MCAT score in the nation, he was literally one of the brightest medical minds in the nation. Every medical school opened it's doors to him. That motherfucker *DEVOURED* books in college. Like, in addition to his text books, he'd just read everything he could get his hands on. In my time at Texas, I must have watched him read 200 books on general medicine.
These people's "research" is a drop in a bucket compared to the actual research real medical professionals do. 5 books wasn't even a semester's load of work for my roommate, let alone something he'd hang his hat on as being an expert.
Yeah. When defending your research in front of other researchers, you better know any and all important papers in the field inside and out, because they 100% will try to burn you with anything you found that may contradict something else (and you’d better have a good explanation about what may account for any discrepancy). You’ve got to know your stuff.

These people should really stop saying “do your research” because, as you say, it instantly tells anyone listening that they’re either (1) full of shit or (2) actually dumb enough to think that whatever they’ve done in any way constitutes “research.”
Here comes a dorky rant from someone who spent way too much time in grad school…
”Research” is the process of meticulous experiment and observation in order to answer a question or series of questions. “Research” requires the description of one’s methods in painstaking detail, transparency of the results of those methods, a description of the statistical methods used to determine the best answer to the question, and a descriptive rationale as to why this MAY be the best answer to the question. This process must then stand up to the scrutiny of other experts in the field. (For those who don’t know - these motherfuckers absolutely live to poke holes in the work of others.) If it does, it gets published in a journal and is considered a legitimate research paper (though some journals are taken less seriously than others). Then, if it’s a worthwhile research paper, it will be used to help answer future research papers to ultimately build out the overall body of knowledge in a field of study.
In other words, reading a single research paper - which went through all the steps it takes to get published - wouldn’t even really be considered “researching” a topic. It’s simply reading an article.
Now, compare that to the “do your research” kooks, who are literally talking about watching videos on the fucking internet that comfortably connect their preferred reality to a cause or an outcome.
So yeah, it is galling, as someone who spent countless hours running through meticulous experimental processes, analyzing heaps of experimental data, and having to defend all of it before groups cutthroat academicians (who are often insecure people whose entire self-worth is tied up in proving to everyone how smart they are), to hear fucking imbeciles and nutjobs and attention-seekers like Aaron fucking Rodgers purport that he has done “research” about the absurd, banal bullshit that flows out of his mouth.
It’s literally the opposite of “research” - forming conclusions based on unsubstantiated conjecture from whoever-the-fuck on the goddamn internet, which can’t stand up to any degree of scrutiny.
Ironically and embarrassingly, people who don’t realize this, and think that by believing something that has no foundation rooted in any sort of evidence whatsoever makes them seem “informed,” announce to the world that they are lowest common denominator dipshits who should never be taken seriously.
Edit: I think it is important to note that legitimate research necessarily involves some degree of humility on the part of the authors; always be skeptical of those who speak in absolutes about their conclusions, and serious scientists don’t.

It’s truly their Achilles heel. They never choose to wait and see. They have to declare _____________ the greatest ever.
Yes, and then when a reasonable waiting period has transpired and the disappointing returns are in, they may backtrack a bit with the “greatest ever” talk, but will remain steadfast in their argument that whoever or whatever they’re talking about is still better than tu’s.
This is how you get people who watched college football from 2002-2005 and concluded that Reggie McNeal was still better than Vince Young.

She sounds like someone who dislikes women romancing each other.
All I could ever think about, after reading that kid’s supposed opposition to women romancing each other, was the scene where Jerry (playing the part of the OU kid) tells George he’s not going to participate in the ménage, which George’s advice set into motion, and George (playing the part of Surly) is rightfully incensed and outraged…
(Sadly I can’t find a gif for the best part of this exchange, where George yells at the top of his lungs, “ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?” J. Alexander nails the stunned/confused/outraged reaction there.)
