  1. That man ain't never had no kush
  2. Oscar-winning Palestinian director Hamdan Ballal released from detention | AP News The IDF kidnapped and tortured this dude for days for the crime of filming a documentary that showed the realities of life as a Palestinian in occupied Palestine. e: Just so those of you who refuse to recognize Israel's crimes understand why Israel kills so many journalists, why independent journalists are so heavily restricted from entering Gaza/West Bank, and why you see almost no Western journalists covering every day life of Palestinians. They can't afford the rest of the world recognizing the ongoing apartheid and genocide, though their efforts have been slowly failing over the last few years.
  3. Honestly kind of shocked Xavier even has Twitter burners
  4. Every time I'm with South Austin's mom
  5. Another MWC POY? Don't mind if I do
  6. I'm 41 and I've indulged in a shit ton of different vices myself over my lifetime. If you can name a recreational drug I've probably tried it at least once (aside from heroin, I was always terrified of that shit), and believe you me it's a goddamn miracle I didn't end up a cocaine addict or addicted to any of the myriad drugs I've experimented with over the years. I'm incredibly fortunate that I'm just not wired for addiction in that specific way, save for cigarettes (that one took me a long time and many relapses to kick), but [imo] it's just not the same. Alcoholism is a different beast and I have watched more than one friend and family member slowly, fatally, succumb to it and certainly don't want the same for you. All you can do is keep trying. Don't do it for us, do it for yourself. BELIEVE in yourself. Trust me, I understand depression and self loathing as well as anyone and that shit will derail you just as quickly as your addiction will. You mentioned that you've been to rehab, but have you ever seen a real therapist outside of rehab, 1-on-1, in person? If not, I would be willing to bet such a thing would change your life pretty quickly. I've told you this before, but you need to do something different, your normal routine clearly is enabling your alcoholism and you need to shake it up somehow. Find a new hobby, anything that you can distract yourself with when you feel the urge to drink. You can do it, we believe in you.
  7. Why they gotta do Toppin dirty with this thumbnail
  8. Yeah I'm not touching this one anymore. I literally said the abuse was almost certainly mutual and he literally didn't even read it because all he sees is red. Not worth the argument.
  9. Yeah ok bud. That "I know people" bullshit doesn't work on me. Show me some actual evidence or shut the fuck up.
  10. Actually no, we don't know exactly what happened and neither do you. You should know that it is very common for abuse victims to refuse to cooperate in cases like this. I still maintain that they were almost certainly mutually abusive toward each other but calling her a false accuser is straight up dishonest and another way to shift blame from Beard onto "that crazy bitch he was with" without him having to accept any responsibility even if that's not your intent.
  11. To be fair, you should never trust an Armenian off the jump
  12. The only way it will make the news in American media is to present whatever lie the IDF inevitably tells about it. This is just exhibit #infinity of Israel disappearing/killing journalists they have a problem with. It basically never gets reported on unless it's something like the AP building getting bombed. Palestinian Director of 'No Other Land' Attacked by Settler Mob, Arrested by Soldiers, Israeli Co-director Says - Israel News - Haaretz.com e: I know he's not technically a journalist but in this context it's effectively the same thing
  13. Very cool people these Israelis Definitely not insanely racist, violent freaks
  14. I mean just look at him
  15. That dude should get fired immediately, what a piece of shit
  16. I've called Texas his dream job more than once but if I think about it it's probably not 100% accurate. The people at Tech that knew him best always maintained that his dream job was either a basketball blue blood like Duke or UNC or an NBA job. If true, then Texas (being his alma mater) was the best available alternative to that ultimate goal. I think he would have happily coached until he retired at Texas, but if he got the opportunity to shoot for what he saw as a higher calling he likely would have taken it.
  17. If you were right, Beard would already be back at a "top" job. He will literally never get hired by any basketball blue blood or any otherwise respectable institution. On top of his personal failings, he's also hauling around a guy who A) was fired from Tech for making racist comments to a player and B) publicly dragged for cheating on his wife with his dead twin brother's widow. That kind of stink only flies at the kind of institutions with no moral standards whatsoever and it's not going away any time soon. That's not to say he can't have a successful career, he likely will, but he will never have another job like he had at Texas or any of the blue blood positions he clearly covets.
  18. I don't remember it all off the top of my head, I'd have to go digging through a thread on the Tech Rivals board that I am no longer a paying member of, but mostly they centered around drug/alcohol abuse. There were multiple rumors of him doing cocaine/being coked up in the office long before there was even a whisper of him leaving Tech, many offhand rumors/stories of random binges he would go on, womanizing, public (and private) arguments/fights with Randi etc etc. Your usual vices for a dude with few inhibitions to begin with that's just stumbled onto a pile of money.
  19. There are much worse rumors from Lubbock but nothing confirmed. Obviously, considering what he did for our basketball program, it sucked as a fan to see him go, but I also heard from multiple people that I trust that work for Tech in some capacity or another that the administration was relieved to see him go for myriad reasons. I hope getting fired from his dream job was a wake up call and he has cleaned up his life. Hiring Mark Adams doesn't give me much hope for that though.
  20. Gotta love his bar for someone representing your university is "hasn't choked anyone in 2 years"
