The best part of the half was actually that his first pass to a wide open Moore (the one Moore had to go to the ground to catch with no defender within 8 yards) was absolutely terrible but he didn't spiral into a shitty performance, he went back to work, got his feet right more often, and started making some better throws.
This is pretty much it. I'm currently looking at options elsewhere in the States but my family exists because an ancestor crossed the Atlantic to an unknown world to flee a shitty government. Might be time to do the same soon.
Like I said, I don't expect others to follow suit. Most people love their bread and circuses.
But I personally am not going to send money to support the public face of an entity controlled by and capitulating to this stuff any longer.
Yeah I have zero expectation I'll see a dime from SS and I've thought that way for a long time.
I'm not sure I can leave the country due to a child's medical situation. But for the first time I'm exploring options.
Oh immamac is still getting my treefiddy for the site itself but yeah, it's regrettable overall. Collateral damage will happen (well not really, it would take a lot more and a lot more important people than just me to make a dent, again this is for my conscience).
UT in general has already started well down the path of appeasing the authoritarian right. Plus, of course, it's a state institution so it's unavoidable in many respects.
So Disney is talking to Kimmel to try to get him back on the air. I assume they are telling him exactly how cowardly they are and how nice they want him to be. If they come to an agreement I'm certainly not restarting my subscription but I'm sure many will.
I'm using this as an opportunity to trim costs from my life by eliminating money sent to corporate beasts in as many places as possible. Unfortunately I've also had to include contributions to any entity associated with capitulating to this authoritarian regime, which means I've canceled my Burnt Ends and Texas One Fund recurring payments as well as deciding no further contributions to UT academics will happen either.
So far with just media and recurring UT-related cancellations I'm at about $3500 per year saved. Imagine getting paid to have a clearer conscience, that's a win-win.
Can you point me toward an instance in history where large amounts of foreign support came to a domestic populace that had slinked back into the dark? No, that comes with the bloody war option I mentioned.
Fascism has never been defeated by ceding the public square to it. It requires public challenges that, yes, may unfortunately lead to bad things happening to good people. But slinking back into the dark just guarantees that your children are either involved in a bloody war or live their entire lives under the thumb.
They can and do track who is watching each channel and how much they're watching it. We are all just drops in the bucket but my drop won't be registering as viewing any Disney related channel. I will watch Texas games when the condensed games hit YouTube.
Lol imagine being so unimportant to everyone in your life that you run to a message board trying to get negged so you can feel like somebody finally paid attention to you. Hahaha.
Reminds me of when the first radiologist didn't see the fracture in my daughter's elbow the first time and so the doctors tried to get us to make her use it after about a week. After she screamed in resistance we brought her back in and said check again and 2 of 4 radiologists saw the fracture on the next x-ray. I had seen the position of her arm when she hurt it and despite how young she was saw almost no way it wasn't broken.
I'm assuming the 2 who still didn't see it now work for the Astros.
