  1. Pretty much and the worst part is that when we do save someone, we never even get a thank you. Like the dude trying to wire $50k to Puerto Rico for a tractor he hadn't seen. All age groups fall for it now, but it's especially sad with old ladies and romance scams. They are so certain they're talking to a real guy living on an oil platform off the Scottish Highlands who just need $500 to get their bags through customs at the Edinburgh airport so they can get to the US and buy that $1M in house Williamson Co. The scammers on this one faked a boarding pass that literally said DEPART: Edinburgh ARRIVAL: Texas Oh yes, the great Texas airport. She still refused to believe it when we showed the real flight number was from London to Madrid.
  2. Why on a Tuesday?
  3. There is no law specifically for domestic terror groups, so his executive order just directed the government to continue doing things they could already do. It was all for show.
  4. You've been around these parts long enough to know this bit.
  5. Replace "the announcement on autism" with "SurlyHorns" and you got yourself a permanent motto.
  6. Dont worry, you weren't anywhere near the biggest fool yesterday. I work at a CU and we had a guy come in to get all of his $$$ (76 years old, about $6k) because these investors were "gonna turn it into $30k". We tell him, in person, its a scam. We sit him down with compliance, nope no good. OK sit him down with CFO, nope no good. CEO? Nada. Last chance was the off-duty police officer who gets paid $50/hr to watch YouTube. Nothing. We did get him to lower his withdrawal to $1,500 but he still took it and left, undoubtedly to a crypto atm, never to be seen again. It's an everyday thing in FI's.
  7. AP going hard into the paint.
  8. I haven't been keeping up, but his crowd skipping real church for MAGA church today is obviously not shocking.
  9. I thought we were getting some deep cuts bard stuff for a moment, but alas...
  10. and they'll have to be 1sqft bigger than the Oklahoma ones.
  11. Meh just charge $50 more for a reinforced scooter for the morbidly obese at WDW and give them a discount if they finance it with a Disney card at a low low 36% APR. And better raise Lightning Lane another $10 each and you know if you love your kids they have to go or else you are a terrible parent.
  12. I think we aren't the people that we (non-MAGA) think that we are and there will be no large sit-ins or strikes. TikTok, Twitch, The Voice, MNF, and FoxNews will continue to be up and running and so there will be relatively few with a will to suffer pain for reasons that they view to be relatively abstract. They aren't undocumented immigrants, they aren't public figures speaking out against Trump, they aren't college professors being told that they can't teach the truth. In fact, it was time those eggheads learned that nothing is better than the good ole USofA. And now that I think about it, I liked the Redskins logo and I'm tired of pressing English on the ATM. I don't think a few entertainers taking different jobs would make any difference whatsoever.
  13. The SEC will reveal Tuesday *all* opponents for every team in its new 9-game schedule for football in 2026. The 3 "permanent" rivals will be referred to as "annual opponents," which will be reviewed every 4 years. It isn't hard B12, even if nobody wants to play UCF every year.
  14. Every movie they have ever made took like 2hr with a shit number of peers and a VPN through a foreign country last year. Pirating has never been faster.
  15. You want a text? I can get you a text by 3 o'clock this afternoon, with comic sans!
  16. This is one of the most insane parts to me. We have a nation sitting here, on the edge of their seats, waiting to see if one nut is right or left leaning so we can blame everyone that shares some of his political beliefs.
  17. Jeff Gerstmann is a national treasure, the epitome of manliness, and definitely still a threat.
  18. FCS had a decent tailgate scene in its last year or two (for our standards, obviously not by general P4 standards) and the first year or two at McLane saw a decent setup. Got outsourced to a third-party group for turn-key service and it completely obliterated it again. They stopped that and did a mixed model, but it still isn't good. I had way more problems with our own fans at SMU last week than I did with pony bros who were all chill and having a good time. Almost fought a plastered dude who kept hitting my wife's chair over and over again even when told to stop. Also, some dude behind me yelled for Aranda to kill himself which was lovely. He didn't take it very well when I mentioned it after the comeback and he was suddenly cheering for him. As for Morgantown, it was alright. I didn't find them very inviting and definitely had more fun drinking in Pittsburgh with Pitt people the night before the game. We had seats in a random section, and we were surrounded by people from WV who didn't really get into the game even though it was that classic 70-63 matchup. I've had the best luck as a visitor in Kansas & Oklahoma weirdly enough. Sporting KC fans were fantastic to us Austin FC fans a couple years back. BU was #1 when we got obliterated at Allen Fieldhouse a decade or so ago and their fans were really welcoming. oSu did great when we played at Boone Pickens as #3 and got smoked in 2013. I'd like to hit up Manhattan and Ames soon.
  19. AND they'll only hear about those datapoints in a 5 second snippet on TikTok that has been curated to make them angry.
  20. Yall gonna be shaking when my 3 inch Nebraska-Kearney masters gets whipped out.
