  1. That’s the shittiest salute I’ve ever seen
  2. Guy looks like he rides a unicycle to work while wearing a top hat
  3. This whole thing just makes me sick…or maybe it’s also the Halloween hangover. The Ukrainians are such easy people to root for, compared to this festering mess.
  4. Is that Derka’s dad?
  5. Who in this thread has said they aren’t?
  6. Boy you’re just trying to piss off everyone aren’t ya? The only scrub in the 4-game win streak was Cincy. I’m the last person to have any confidence about Bedlam but…
  7. This is the way. Our DC seems to make consistently good adjustments for the 2H, but OU has the firepower to put us in a big hole before the secondary settles in + Nardo adjusts. OU coming off a loss so I expect them to be sharp and motivated beyond just the final bedlam. On the other hand we recently beat the team that took them down today, the oline suddenly looks serviceable, OGII ran for 200+ against a top run D, and Bowman looks more comfortable in the pocket. Just too much history for me to expect anything less than hope rising triumphantly only for it to mercilessly crush my wary spirit.
  8. We have Ollie Gordon, they don’t
  9. Ollie Gordon is not human
  10. I certainly don’t like to see things stolen and shit being broken from dumbasses during a protest/riot, but as I get older I progressively give fewer shits about big companies. PPP loan fraud, stock buybacks, frequent flyer/hotel loyalty systems being constantly degraded, blanket policies forcing us back to office despite poor facilities, 2008 bank crisis, etc. They have a right to make money, but pardon me if I fail to cry a river for automakers fighting pay raises after obscene exec pay and buybacks after our tax dollars bailed them out.
  11. TV networks need to cut back on endless commercials…and rule changes just to jam more commercials in
  12. I just know it’ll involve a gaudy amount of shiplap
  13. Gawd how is this not asked all the time of Texas legislators and leaders…”you say you’re going to fix xyz, you’ve been in elected offices for 21 years…why haven’t you done anything about it before?”
  14. Well I’d say it’s about to get interesting as UT moves to your conference. You’re about to be swept up in all the hullabaloo, shenanigans and goings on
  15. Yes and if you’re driving them across state lines for an abortion then DPS is authorized to destroy the vehicle with a Hellfire fired by the ANG
  16. To be fair, someone asked you to not ‘Nicole up this thread’ and deleted it just a few minutes later, stating he removed it because he didn’t want to sound mean. No one said ‘please leave’, especially related to your ‘option’. And while I’m glad Covri deleted it, he does have a bit of a point…just look at the Rainey thread, wherein you have a tendency to spam links / armchair gumshoe detective musings / longcats. Also often followed around by a few thirsty bastards, NTTAWWT. Personally I don’t care but don’t portray it as some kind of ‘they can’t handle me in the CR’
  17. Then…maybe don’t vote him in as speaker? “I am outraged by this thing I made happen”
  18. Anytime I’ve been in Waco I get the same feeling as reading It for the first time…Waco = Derry
  19. Oh look another young white guy with a rifle that has a box magazine, semi auto action and easily added accessories…like a scope.
  20. Ok well guess that confirms he’s a closeted gay guy with a beard wife
  21. So is it unnecessary roughness on MM if he ends up throwing the ball straight threw a defender’s body? Ukraine doesn’t need Javelins, just a few Maalik clones out there throwing slant routes.
  22. Tangential to your post I’ve seen bystander syndrome in action twice first hand and associated lack of accountability by people in groups. I think about them often and am deeply grateful that my innate personality saw me react without thinking about it. 2017 ROT Rally: Cart with two women standing on the back flips over, one hits her head so hard I can hear it over roar of the bikes…out of the crowd of ~24 only myself and one more run to them. Pointing at someone and yelling (like you’re taught) to call 911 was met with blank stares twice, so had to do it myself. 2022 ACL: Dude was shuffling his very fucked up friend towards the medical tent near the Miller stage. You see that occasionally, but suddenly his friend looked up at the sky, opened his mouth and literally started turning gray…pretty sure he stopped breathing. Out of a huge crowd only myself and two other dudes ran over…they hauled him at a full sprint while I ran in front shoving people out of the way. My guess was fentanyl OD…that moment oh him literally staring at the sun while his skin changed colors haunts me. Like I said, tangential to this thread but I’ve seen first hand that most folks’ sense of what’s the right thing to do is highly dulled in the presence of a crowd.
