  1. Not to mention the idea that test scores are the end all be all of intelligence / merit is part of the stress and anxiety of admissions processes and is also absurd on its face. There is a lot that can be changed but there will always be limited spots at limited schools that lots of people want and lots of rejection. I think the biggest change that needs to be made is to do away with the idea that US News rankings are in any way meaningful. It’s not that hard to succeed with a degree from a mid ranked state school.
  2. Fuck Adelson, fuck Dumont, fuck Cuban, fuck Nico. After 15 years since leaving Dallas I’ll probably buy my first Thunder shirt. Done with these cunts. I’ll be back if and when they’re all fucking gone, so probably never.
  3. I figured it would settle itself down with a lot of mid guys not finding better situations and others seeing it’s a waste of time but I guess not. It should be the top performers of non blue bloods going blue blood, top lower division guys moving up, and some general shuffling for fit or location. I don’t know how coaches can do this shit every year with fucking everyone in the portal every year. I don’t know the answer but tell f players they can’t move is not it and we’re definitely not going back. Best I’ve seen is contracts so at least there’s a buyout involved but schools ain’t gonna do that either because it makes them a lot closer to employees with other rights. Just gotta stop caring about individual players I guess.
  4. How about 10 years, $78 million, no for cause provision. I bet that would get it done lol.
  5. Am I the only one who remembers this from the early days of audio file sharing? Pretty sure this would have been a top download on Napster which hit its very short peak my freshman year in college. It was literally everywhere for a few years.
  6. Lol at anyone treating this as a genuine conversation. UATX’s “merit based” admissions policy has fuck all to do with stress, anxiety, and depression caused by the current system. It means “not DEI,” nothing more, nothing less. It’s literally their sales pitch. Nobody attending there is doing so for educational offerings, it’s pure fucking virtue signaling.
  7. BTW, barely the dumbest thing I’ve seen today, here’s something else.
  8. Now do music. SXSW would be so kewl.
  9. Looks like Ana being Ana, in this case pretending that UATX is not a right wing grift for people whose entire personality is based on phrases like "anti-woke." And LOL at the tweet. "We're totally merit based, objective numbers only!" with the imediate qualification "pending basic eligibility and integrity check." You know goddamned well that phrase is doing some heavy fucking lifting. "Lack of integrity" can mean literally anything especially in todays environment. Social media post supporting trans rights? Participation in a "Free Palestine" rally? Photo holding a Black Lives Matter sign? Criticized Lord Elon? "Woke and therefore lacks integrity." They speak about gay people in terms of morality, i.e., integrity, so being openly gay would be "lack of intergrity" to these shitheads. Not that people like that would apply to this fake maga college, but for Ana to ignore the entire publicised premise of this "institution" is completely on brand.
  10. I suppose, but with that much poop, I’m not sure how it could be misjudged for gas. The magma pressure should be identifiable. This person needs better judgement and awareness of their own body.
  11. I’d eat that, nttawwt.
  12. Pitching coach Rob Walton should have been replaced at least two years ago. I doubt Holliday is fired but I don’t see how Walton can return. Our bullpen has been a massive liability for years now.
  13. McCassland and Beard seem to be in a good place for them and likely won’t leave until a blueblood opens up.
  14. True, but religious folks, primarily in America, are by a large margin significantly worse on average, for reasons discussed in here, they think they are allowed to be cruel and hateful as a matter of devine righteousness. I have far more repsect for people who are assholes and are okay just being assholes.
  15. Hate to always be a stickler but language matters. That ain't a shart that's full on shitting your pants.
  16. McCasland seems like he'd stay at Tech until a blueblood comes calling. Didn't know his was was a tortilla tosser, that pretty much seals the deal it would seem.
  17. I see what you’re saying but the base path stays the same and I’m not seeing how a first baseman can manipulate the play. The runner can just run through the white bag same as without the colored bag.
  18. All explained above and not arbitrary. Routine play at first: Fielder can only use white bag runner can only use colored bag. Dropped third strike: Fielder and runner can use either bag. Passed ball at 1st or fair hit goes into foul territory passed 1st: Fielder and runner can use either bag. First baseman can’t use the colored bag in any other circumstance so can’t “force” the runner to use the white bag. Also nothing prevents the runner from running through the white bag in that circumstance. Not sure why you think catcher beaning runner would be an out, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the runner called for obstruction in a n ordinary run through at first. The rule says running lane rules apply either way so what you’re describing sounds more like fielder interference. What’s arbitrary about whether the fielder is in fair or foul territory?
  19. Pretty much, just two exceptions. I also confirmed that the runner can touch only the outside bag unless one of these exceptions are in play. Makes sense because the entire point is to avoid collisions or stepping on ankles.
  20. Good question, I looked it up. Out.
  21. First base has literally been treated different for an eternity, it's the only base you can run through and still be safe. The outside bag serves a single purpose, to run through, it's then not a base anymore, just like you can't run past it anymore, it's just a regular base. It actually makes sense that it's a different color so that it's clear which base is the base and which is no longer a base. Really not that hard, like at all, to coach and understand. How dare they try and protect ankles, so fucking woke. Fucking idiot.
  22. Aggy is a complete dumpster fire having nothing to do with midweek upsets, lol.
  23. The NCAA baseball social media people need to stop making such a huge deal about midweek "upsets" by small conference teams over P5 teams. The P5 squads are deep into their bullpen saving their primary starters for the weekend series while the small conference squad is far more likely to go all out to get a big win. And baseball is a game that in general is not a sport where a team can just dominate an entire season, there are going to be long stretches of scoreless innings, sometimes midweek against small conference squads. It's part of the game.
  24. California should have done this when they fucked with fire aid but Newsome was probably too busy doing the math on trans panic.
