    I went to visit some relatives in South Texas last weekend.  To the person they are MAGA through and through.  This has  been very disappointing to me because I love these people.  They are genuinely good, hard-working people.  They definitely believe themselves to be good Christians.  I have stayed away over the last few years in large part because of politics.  I don't want to be open with them about my politics because I know that would fundamentally change how they view me.  I don't want to engage with them about politics, but I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut.  So it's safer to stay away.  Anyhow, I was with them Saturday night for a little while.  Several of them were sitting around the kitchen table talking about politics.  I was listening, but not participating.  One of my aunts said something derisive about the mice transgender thing. I couldn't help myself and said, "No, it was a mice transgenic study."  She and another aunt asked me, "What's that mean?"  So I explained as briefly as I could.  One of my uncles said something along the lines of, "I don't mind paying my fair share of taxes to the government for things I want them to pay for; that I benefit from.  The ONLY thing the government does that benefits me is the military."  He was dead fucking serious.  He then went on about another ridiculous story about another study the government funded about the effects of tequila on goldfish.

    What I took away from this is that these folks do no critical thinking whatsoever.  It's not that they are not capable of it.  They are all of normal intelligence.  I'm not sure the reason, whether there has never really been a reason for them to exercise critical thinking or if they are just too absorbed in their lives and activities to take the time and mental capacity to engage is such a thing.  These are all boomers.  Up until fairly recently in their lives, all news and media has been fairly unquestioned.  If Dan Rather or Peter Jennings or Tom Brokaw said it on the evening news there was no reason to question it.  Same with every newspaper in circulation.  People used to not need to apply critical thinking to what they were seeing in the media.  I'm sure that all of these people only watch Fox News.  That's probably because they know it aligns with their preconceived notions and political ideology and makes them feel good.  So, feeling good (dopamine hits or whatever the fuck you get from confirmation bias) and zero critical thinking accounts, according to me, for why my family members are the way they are.

    Naw man these people have only themselves to blame. It's not that they do no critical thinking, it's that they willfully wake up in the morning and allow themselves to be brainwashed by turning on Fox all day. My mother and father in law have that shit on all day, and then some radio show of its like if they are in the car. Consume consume consume. That's why when you argue with MAGA types, they always say "turn off the MSNBC/CNN". Every accusation is a confession.

    You should always look at the root cause for why they chose the route they did. They were looking to validate the hatred they have for others and stumbled on right wing media which confirmed the thoughts they already had. We have to accept that about our loved ones. That's the glue of that community. Willful hatred.

    Hahaha! Thought you were playing 4D chess and didn't see this move coming. Your broke ass MAGA constituents can't help Elon one bit. Musk is going to find out first hand how everything in Donnie's orbit fails. He should hit the eject button or take the next off ramp but his fucking ego won't let him do it. He will be ok for awhile surviving on the guvment teet, but when we get on the other side of this thing this dude is over.

    I guess letting a 78 year old convicted rapist with late stage syphilis brain crash the economy is worth getting rid of 1 trans swimmer.

    There's not gonna be any conservative backlash. 

    There was no reasonable reason for anyone to vote for this shithead. Yet they did.  

    These people are hidebound intellectual cowards. They'll vote R next time too.  

    Fuck em

    No there won't. It blows my mind the mental gymnastics these people do to avoid even one iota of blame for the orange man. I have tried to do the math and it always seems to come back to the alignment of "he hates the same people I hate so as long as we agree on that I am willing to give him a flyer on anything else". I cannot find any other reason except that. Am I in the wrong thinking here?

    Where you been? Haven’t posted in this thread since the end of the season, now that Quinn has some positive press, you’re back like a herpes breakout?

    I said this would happen at the end of the season. No reason to hang around slap fighting with you assholes when no games are being played and nothing is happening.

    He had same vert on a severely sprained ankle and only .08 slower on 20 yard drill. Stop being a retard.

    I will give you a pass this time but Pro Day........

    Lmao you don’t even keep up with the combine and just googled some numbers you dumb mother fucker. 

    Pay up bro! You made the bet. Don't be the pussy you make everyone else out to be.

    Just a few numbers to support your stance on Worthy.

    Tied for 19th in deep ball targets.

    Tied for 5th in TDs on deep balls.

    No drops on deep balls.

    Tied for 16th in contested catches.

    Looks like the deep ball and behind the LOS track on a % basis from 2023 to 2024.  That didn’t really track for 2021 and 2022.  As a frosh at Texas he had 9 TDs on intermediate and deep balls compared to 3 his last year.

    78 for 925 yards and a  11.85 av in 20 games -Chiefs

    75 for 1014 yards and a 13.52 av in 14 games -Texas

    Here are all his targets for the season so you can look through them because you clearly didn't watch the Chiefs play this year. Xavier Worthy is 83rd in the NFL in average per this year. They clearly used him the same way we did.

    Uh, did you see his ankle?

     

    A 50 yard TD bomb in the Super Bowl says maybe they're trying to exploit his speed anyway.

    We threw Worthy a deep ball or two as well but mainly used him as in short yardage just like they did. He is fast but slight and gets rerouted easily.

    As far as Helm goes you don't run that fast in cone and shuttle drills if your ankle is bothering you that much. To be honest, you don't run those at all as a lot of players skip those altogether.

    Back to dogging the supporting cast to prop Quinn up?  Does Quinn know that you shit on his teammates any chance you get?

     

    bad look in this case considering Helm got hurt.  But the rest of the 12 guys invited did ok

    Helm got hurt? His other numbers say he wasn't that hurt my guy. Burnt Orange and White said he bet that Helm would run faster and have better combine numbers than Sanders. So here we are. Burnt Orange and I talk shit but behind the curtain he is solid and its all good fun. I would most def sit down with guy and have a few beers so mind your own got damned business. Lol

    Listen whoever you are. The combine doesn't make a shit in the long run. Worthy clocked the fastest time in history and then you know what the Kansas City Chiefs found out? They have to use him exactly the same way Texas did. He didn't go out there and all the sudden become a better deep ball catcher. Mitchell didn't set the world on fire. So perhaps they are what we thought they were?

    Well. He looks good out there. His footwork is so curious sometimes but he gets the ball to the right place at the right time (when there is no defense of course).

    Ofc he looks good vs air and no rush.

    it never ceases to amaze me how a contained workout in shorts and a t shirt means more to nfl franchises than a player’s career body of work, for better or worse. quinn ewers is that asshole serial philanderer who every hot chick thinks she can “fix”. no matter how many times he’s shown you who he is, you just can’t get over what you imagine he could be.

    he’s always looked like a 1.000 prospect without a defense.  unfortunately, NFL defenses will be an impediment to his future success.

    Based on what? Last time I checked a majority of our Big12 conference mates were getting way more guys drafted than Texas. Unless you’re referencing our recruiting rankings full of guys we never developed and were never heard of again.

    Ewers was not the best option and he didnt allow our team to reach their potential. We left a national championship on the table by playing him. You will see that this year when we it all with Manning. 

    Haha. Look at all these Cunts mad cuz Quinn looked good at the combine.

    Yeah, in sort of American-vernacular Yiddish.

    I am referring to Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra, where the ubermensch is the secular human ideal.

    Of course none of these fuckwads is that, but I think they believe themselves to be.

    I’m 100% aware Texas is a high tax state especially if you have an expensive home.

    but yall all assume we are selling our house and moving 100%. We will do what we have to do to comply with residency requirements but my ex is here and my kids are 3 years out from graduating….. so we will have two houses and income tax in an income tax state and property tax in a high property tax state for the next 3-4 years. So we will be penalized until we can sell and move completely. 

    I am not going to be the asshole that these others are trying to be but I think you are making a huge mistake here. We keep hoping this administration will stay on the rails and be somewhat civilized but all that has jumped the shark. I personally think Trump is officially a dictator and we are very close to some marginalized community being persecuted and I don't mean verbally. They usually come for the smallest community first and you are part of that community. I would not only get away from here as fast as I could but I would also have a go bag for leaving the country at the ready. I think it will get that bad.

    Taking this back to the Trump economy discussion. Okay, not really.

    Are volleyball scholarships mostly partial?

    Totally depends on the position. The at the net positions tend to offer more money than the others. So if your kid is good and playing one of those then they will likely get the full amount. Defensive players have to be really really good to get money. They find ways to take care of you though. If your grades are good they get you on an academic. Also, different schools have different levels of funding all the way up to 12 scholarships.
