  1. Fuck that shit. Outside of the fact that a poster's merit (both online and personally) has nothing to do with whether or not they graduated UT (immamac is an easy example) and its a stupid fucking caste system to create in the first place, and not having one adds an additional layer of separating the wheat from the chaff by posters who have the fucking bandwidth to have some memory of who other posters on the website are...it's not like some of us have been doing this for 10-30 years or so of our lives. Otherwise we're all just Spider2yBanana on the football board.
  2. Guys, you'll be shocked to know that someone has slipped into my DMs to call me a meanie. I'm not goint to say who, becuase that would be mean and I don't want to be known as a meanie online. But it's super serious and they wanted me to know I'm a little person on the internet and they're super succesful and an actual graduate from UT, which apparently I'm not. I might need a hug. And some more lube for this dildo. Of course it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article A dildo, never MY dildo
  3. Thankfully we, or at least most of us, don't know what you look like. Wife and I were talking about taquitos, chips/queso/quac, campechana. Taco Dip Pinwheels. My wife loves a good Theme.
  4. Ah, resorting to personal attacks and homophobic slurs. The true sign of a poster with the intellactual horsepower to handle criticism and think critically. I also enjoyed your unintentional self-owns, which of course you wouldn't know typing, becuase you seem to be that breed of poster that talks more than takes account of the actual posters on the 995 board, what they've said, and what they've done. It's spelled logorrhea, not "logarehia" you fucking twat. And yeah, the unentiontal comedy of ME allegdly shitting on someone else for posting a lot, as well as having to correct their spelling, is high fucking comedy. You won't get it, but everyone else here will get it.
  5. Listen, I agree with the latter half of your post, but I'm going to challenge the bolded. Saying things are "shit" for him or "will be shit for him" unless he's the richest man in the world is a false measure that exists only to try and make your post seem accurate but it's not. Donald Trump is a dumb motherfucker who was born rich, skated through his entire life failing at business, including a casino, declaring multiple bankruptcies, and his life has changed...pretty much never at all. He has maintained wealth and assets throughout, all the while stiffing contractors, attorneys, lendors, anyone who's done business with him. But he's ended up fine. When things have looked troublesome, he reinvented himself as a fucking gameshow host, which spit shined his brand once more, and he rode that shit into a succesful long shot bid to be president of the United States. Once president, he broke laws, embarassed himself and us, attemped to end democracy, and failed at a re-election. He then managed to wiggle past multiple court cases and evade any kind of consequences for his actions, by, once again, being elected President. And now he's been "given a mandate" to do whatever he wants, to demolish democracy, and a time in his life where he'll never be held accountable for any of it. The only thing likely to make him accountable is the same accountability we will all face: death. Because you're right, nothing lasts forever. The worst pain this man has ever faced is bad headlines, embarassment, some bad press, but his raging narcissim brushes that aside and turns it into rage, and in no way alters his behavior in any way. And he's richer now thatn he's ever been, more powerful now than he's ever been, in a position to grift more money in the next few years than he did in the first 70 of his life, and is immune from prosecution. He controls armies. But I guess you're right, things have been really shitty for this guy his whole life. He can spike the economy, but it won't hurt him. Just us. P.S.: Shit on paper wealth all you want, but a vast majortiy of Elon Musk's wealth is paper, and yet he managed to buy himself a president with it.
  6. Hornlife has apparently wandered over from the football board and has mixed himself a potent cocktail of Spider2yBanana mouth diahrea and the unique old person mileu of "every post on a message board is a private conversation between me and the poster" syndrome. It's like James Joyce just showed up here with a head injury and is treating this place like everyone's parents on facebook.
  7. Two points: 1). Your referencing Trump's success, but the companies and industries you've cited aren't actually tied to Trump finanically. They're tied to musk (tesla) and they're tied to an industry that, inarguably, has made a lot fo people a lot of money. Look at Tesla stock the last 10 years. 2.) Trump just fomented an insurrection, after the most disastorous presidency in History, barely lost an election, and then won an election which effectively kept him out of prison. He's made billions on a fucking fake social media company, and he let an oligarch buy him a presdiency for a quarter billion dollars. He's now raking in the money, immune from prosecution, and remaking America in disastrous ways. I'd say things are going more than halfway decent for him right now. Your missing a key point in your comparison: Things Trump Touches Turn To Shit. But not for Trump. Just for everyone around him, and this case, that's just America.
  8. There's no way this is true, but god I hope it's true. Pair Smith with fucking Marcel Reed, and bring a bunch of media attention to A&M, and then just watch the lockerroom implode off the field, and the team implode on the field. Plus their boosters are out what would be a third to half of a very healthy NIL budget.
  9. This is my personal opionion. That is an inevitability, for at least a chunk, maybe most, of people donating. Many will donate less if they can't deduct it from their taxes. My hope is that the fall off isn't as huge as one might fear, becuase now that the concept has been proven and results have been given, and the fucking idiots have stopped viewing this as distasteful (to a certain degree), the high from having a resurgent program will keep a lot of donators donating. This is also my general hope if the NCAA were ever to get invovled, collective bargaining to become a reality, etc. Texas alumns, finally, have a stark illustratoin of what the SEC was up to in regards to paying players before NIL. We can't shove ourselves back in the locker if the lanscape changes again and yield to the bag hags.
  10. I mean, thanks to manipulation, all kinds of rule breaking, and now musk's access to government money while he controls Tesla, those investments have made lots of people rich. You don't think Dogecoin is on the way up?
  11. I’m freaked at about my long term financials as well, so this hits close to home. Your mother in law can get all the way fucked, though.
  12. August Landmesser (German: [ˈaʊ̯ɡʊst ˈlantˌmɛsɐ]; 24 May 1910 – 17 October 1944) is suggested to be the man appearing in a 1936 photograph conspicuously refusing to perform the Nazi salute.[2][3] Landmesser had run afoul of the Nazi Party over his unlawful relationship with Irma Eckler, a Jewish woman. For this, he was imprisoned and eventually drafted into penal military service, where he was killed in action.[citation needed] Is this what the other side is counting on? That people won't fight becuase they know they're going to die, or be hurt, and that's not what Americans are about these days. Did your pastor mentioned what happened to August in his sermon?
  13. I'm guessing this is fake, considering the date and timestamp at the bottom is from a month from now.
  14. So..you’re ashamed? I mean, since you could do what some peasant eagles fan would do, but won’t. Doesn’t that make you lower than Eagles fans?
  15. Pronouns in her signature? She's fucking fired.
  16. Listen, asshole, you can't get this kind of prescient Oline insight without spending a lot of time talking to former Oline players from the 80's. You cant just look up some wide published rankings and, do some math.
  17. Scientology seems like your jam, sir. Yeah, I'm not sure joining a synagogue roster with anti-semitism on the rise is the best idea. I'd go with Mormon or Scientology or Methodist. The first two, folks will think you're a weirdo and leave you alone...maybe. And pretty sure Methodists are used to people not showing up, so...
  18. Every president since Calvin Coolidge has added to the national debt. Donald Trump added 4 trillion to the debt in 2 years (before Covid). 8 Total, which matches really excessive spending that took Obama 8 years to achieve. Joe Biden actually added to the debt at a much smaller percentage than most previous presidents in the last 60+ years. Here's some numbers with my notations for extremely itneresting numbers, both in debt percetnage and time it took to uncork them. Source: https://www.self.inc/info/us-debt-by-president/ Gotta tell you, it sure seems like MOST of those egregious numbers were...put there by Republicans? So why do you say it's the "leftists?" Look at Joe Biden, clocking in at a percentage well below Trump, HW, GW, Reagan (holy forkballs), Jimmy Carter... And damn, lets take a moment to marvel at the...<checks notes> DEMOCRATIC fiscal responsibility from JFK and LBJ (even as they fought a war in Vietnam!). So again, why do you blame the Left for this? Also, please, why hasn't the right passed a balanced budget amendment when they had the ability to during Reagan, or Trump, or any other time, if it's so important?
  19. EDit: Damnit, wrong fucking thread. Bisexuals will vaccinate my freedoms!!! I mean, can I watch?
  20. This guy will be fine. He'll just start an evangelical "church" and the Southern Baptist Convention will welcome him with open arms and all their money and some kids to rape.
  21. A someone remind me, was their best class ever not NIL, and most illegal bag bullshit? These idiots can’t even lie to themselves consistently.
  22. Nono, that's the part I agree with you about. Shit has to get bad, real bad, for there to be change. We're in total agreement. The part I'm disagreeing with is what comes after. Whatever solution we have to living wage, fixing our problems, etc, will be done in a half ass way so that these problems rear their heads again and never quite go away for the forseeable future. Just like the way the North let the South erect statures, reject education materials in schools about the Civil War, etc. Americans doesn't do long term shame, basically, is what I'm saying. You thought we solved racism and were trending in the right direction with the abolition of slaves, the civil rights act, etc. And now 60 or so years after that, we're seeing the same shit pop it's head up in DEI. BLACK PEOPLE DID THIS BECAUSE IT CAN'T BE MY FAULT. Same thing with women. "Oh, now that women can have careers of their own or choose to be with women, they don't have to settle for any POS man? Well, that's not acceptable because I want to get laid and be the boss. Better outlaw all that shit and get women back in the kitchen...maybe the classroom."
  23. Lol. Im with you but good luck. That's not how selfish America works. Reconstruction out back after the civil war should have told ya.
