  1. She’ll just be fine writing all those fiction books she’s got planned in her head in between all the “your mother sucks cocks in hell” interruptions in her brain worms.
  2. She was giving alternative suggestions
  3. Chairman of the Progressive Party, apparently
  4. And in some cases, what’s considered “left” is still very much to the right of center. For twenty years, the militant corporatist Hilary Clinton was portrayed in the pig-ignorant right wing Nutosphere as being the second coming of Che Guevara. When so-called “conservatives” in America wine about the left, leftism, liberals, liberalism, et al, what they’re talking about is best described as “anyone to the political left of Atila the Hun.” It’s a joke.
  5. Every logical fallacy that can be used against national healthcare has been used Every argument against national healthcare is logically fallacious. That’s just one of those arguments where we need to hit the mute button when hearing/reading the kind of insipid drivel as we were treated to. To even entertain it is to lose one’s humanity, much in the same way that one loses one’s humanity when engaging people who propose the flat earth model in lieu of the oblate spheroid on which we live…or that the stork model is a better explanation of child birth than pregnancy.
  6. It’s not reframing at all. That’s just one of the many pathetic attempts at false equivocation; a sport of which “pro-life” right wingers are the all time world heavyweight champions.

    Oh it’s better than y’all think. When some of you degenerates sit down to watch teams like UT warm up, you’ll see them walk the field in warm ups, come back out in pads and start some drills about 60 minutes prior to kickoff and they go in with like 15-30 minutes left before coming back out to play. Oh but not this dude. Kelley’s teams show up to the stadium like 25-30 minutes before the game, run to the locker room to quickly get dressed and they spend whatever spare time warming up. With Kevin it’s non-stop insanity, but when you look at his analytics…it’s not THAT insane.
  8. Won’t be saying a whole lot other than what may go unnoticed. So for example this week, the D grade looks like shit on the surface but when you factor in: 1) what orange boxes they did get 2) the fact that most of the red ones were really on the strength of the volume those guys put in when the game was in hand in the 4th quarter (they had 189 yards in that quarter, overwhelmingly in the short passing game that Texas was letting them have as fool’s gold)… I wouldn’t be too concerned. The only thing I hated was that they didn’t miss a single fourth down. I’m sure it’s already been mentioned but this was the first time in UT history that a new HC made his debut against a ranked team and won it. Not a game I want to do over at all.
  9. Yeah I’ll probably end up doing that in the remaining weeks.
  10. You misspelled “propensity to live in a fantasy world.”
  11. Yes, I'm doing this again. Did it in 2014 for Strong's first year, 2017 for Mensa, now Sark's getting his due look in the same context. Trying to do this an easier way than the Photobucket option, please advise if it can't be seen. Grades_ Week 1.xlsx

    That literally was the subject of the Mack’s pregame speech after watching it the night before. Evidently he just told the team “whatever you do in life, don’t go on the Springer show.”

    That’s the most overblown aspect of the game and it’s really just something ESPN had to talk about. Putting Bush in the game wouldn’t have done anything for them. He was held to a double digit rushing total and they really didn’t give give him a whole lot of touches in the second half precisely because White was killing Texas’ defense, specifically on the exact play they ran. ”oh but he would have been a decoy.” No one in that stadium would have believed he was actually going to get the ball, especially Gene Chizik. With Bush in the game, Chizik makes the same defensive call and no player would have been given a special instruction. USC never had a package with both of them in the game (it was always one or the other), never had any plays with that and certainly never tried it in that game specifically. Pete Carroll absolutely made the right call, Texas’ defense just rose to the occasion.

    All I needed. "It was now 4th and 5 at the USC 8 with the clock stopped at 26 seconds remaining. This was the ball game. This was the play that I had waited for 13 years to see ever since I started going to Texas Longhorn football games with my dad. This was the moment he had waited to see since Texas lost to Notre Dame in the 1971 Cotton Bowl; a game which terminated Texas’ 30-game winning streak. This was the game and the moment Dad had been dying to take me to ever since I was born, which oddly enough was only a little over a month after Texas’ last bid for a national championship when they fell 10-9 at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs in the Cotton Bowl. The USC crowd was as loud as it ever was the entire game. The Texas fans around me were mostly dead silent, most of them holding a Hook 'Em Horns in the air as was common when a pivotal play at the end of a game was about to take place. The play called was Gun Left Jack Menu 2. After they broke the huddle, Quan Cosby lined up to the far left, Brian Carter lined up in the slot to the left, David Thomas lined up as the tight end on the left, Limas Sweed lined up as the split end to the right, and Selvin Young lined up as the running back on Vince’s right. USC lined up in another awkward looking quarters shell with 4 down linemen, 2 linebackers, and 5 defensive backs. USC again inverted to a single high safety look. As the ball was snapped, the Trojans blitzed both linebackers. David Thomas ran a short out route and was covered by the strong safety. Carter and Cosby ran verticals into the end zone, as did Limas Sweed. After Frostee Rucker was given a tremendous shove at the line of scrimmage by right tackle Justin Blalock, he recognized that Selvin Young was running a circle route over the middle. Instead of continuing to rush Vince Young, who at that point had amassed 459 yards total offense (192 rushing, 267 passing), he stayed true to his assignment to cover Selvin. USC defensive end Lawrence Jackson actually got a decent rush off the edge, but left tackle Jonathan Scott had chipped him just enough to where he couldn’t get to Vince. The rest of the USC pass rush was a non-entity. Vince looked off his first read, which looked to be Limas Sweed, and took off to his right. Recognizing what was happening, Rucker abandoned his assignment and reversed his direction as fast as he possibly could. Not only did Vince outrace Rucker to make the first down, but he had an angle at the corner of the end zone and Kevin Thomas was too late! Vince crossed the goal line with a mere 19 seconds left to play in the game!!! TOUCHDOWN TEXAS!!!"
  15. This bears severe repetition. If one is one of those dumbasses that describes themselves as "pro-life," and one plans to defend their position by citing the Bible, they will absolutely fail rather spectacularly. The Bible does not support their position, and one would understand that if they actually read what was in their favored text. The biggest failing religious people have is that they read into their texts things they do not say, and then they ignore what they do say. That's called "reading between the lines without reading the lines."

    That whole season inspired me to write a very long essay about it. I read it whenever life is looking like shit, which translated to 4 times since the pandemic set in. Doubt any of you fuckers would want to read the description of 4th and 5, though.
  17. Exactly. Science isn’t a matter of belief vs disbelief. It’s a matter of acceptance vs rejection.
  18. Also no gambling, but churches are free to scam people out of their money free of repercussion or even tax.
  19. Only to distinguish those threads from the ones that afflict the reader with mere diabetes:
  20. Dude, you need to put a warning label on that: reading this thread causes normal human beings to become afflicted with brain cancer.
  21. Look, we know what this is. They're trying to do a pseudo end-run of Roe by not categorically banning all abortions by adding these ridiculous qualifiers into these laws. That's what these cocksuckers do: they try to find loopholes and they fuck them to death. And we know why they do it too. They know full well that outlawing abortion isn't going to make it go away. In fact, that's the exact same argument they give against gun control; that if you pass such restrictive laws, it won't get rid of guns completely. But what they also know is that abortion restrictions overwhelmingly are targeted against people not in a position of financial security. It's easy for some rich blonde cunt in Plano to get an abortion even if it's illegal in Texas. If she can't get it in Texas, she'll just have her husband fly her out to some blue state where it'll get done. Financially insecure people don't have that. So what you'll have is a bunch of lower-middle to lower class women getting pregnant, either trying unsafe techniques/methods for aborting the child or having the child born into a home that never really wanted it and not having any means to support it. "Oh but that's ok because they'll have medicaid, food stamps, welfare, etc." Not if GQP's get their way. They're dead set against those things for reasons that have nothing to do with what they say they do. They say it's for budgetary concerns, but it's hard to save dollars when you're only looking where mere pennies are spent and ignoring where the actual dollars are spent. "Oh but that's ok because they can opt to give up the child for adoption." They can, but that's still a burden on the biological mother especially if she's on her own. And that's in a country where 84% of the states do not have paid maternity leave. And they will still have to take leave unless we're saying it's socially acceptable to expect a women to work until the minute she goes into labor, has the child, and comes back all in the same fucking work day window. Think that's an exaggeration? Nearly 60% of Americans say they live "paycheck to paycheck." Think they can miss a day of work in the 42 states that have no paid maternity leave? Oh and are you ("you" being a fanatic clown of the religious right) going to be the one to adopt it? "Oh but she can just apply for unemployment if she loses her job." Again, not if the GQP has its way. "Oh but that's ok because the child will at least be educated in our guaranteed public education system." Yes, and what a wonderful system it is! It's the same system that teaches Abstinence Only education in the states that have the highest rates of teen pregnancy, repeat teen pregnancy, and abortion! Just think of the multiple generations of unwanted children, one after the other! This is the colossal failure that the teachings and policies of the religious right have always been. If they were really concerned about abortion: -They would support sex education being taught in public schools -They would know that abortion accounts for a small fraction of the services that organizations like Planned Parenthood provide and would therefore actively support their existence. They would also support the idea that those organizations be publicly financed to the point where they can have free contraceptives. -They would support adequate public education -They would support legislating a living wage into existence -They would support universal healthcare ...you know, shit that other first world countries have. When people are willing to concede those points, I'll be glad to hear what they have to say about abortion. But if one is a sick lunatic that envisions a society in which abortion is illegal, medicaid/welfare/food stamps don't exist, public education is a total failure, et al, I have no desire to speak with one about this topic because such a person's thinking is so narrow as to only be summarized as a regurgitation of assumed teachings in primitive religious texts. Those minds are worth less than the dust I just cleared off of my coffee table. EDIT: I know full well nothing I said above is brand new information to people who know their ass from a hole in the ground, but it nonetheless bears repeating to remind everyone of how twisted, perverted and depraved the minds of the so-called "Pro Life" contingency really are.
