Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
NotActuallyALonghorn replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
Yeah, none of that is reasonable. When it comes to yearly physicals or well checks, we should adhere to the same kind of de minimus policy that we do for labor or tariffs or any number of things. If you are going to the doctor for your yearly physical and something else briefly comes up, that's all in the game. If you go to the doctor for your yearly physical and you spend an extensive amount of time asking about other health issues that you would otherwise need to schedule separate appointments for and potentially with specialists, then it's probably fair for the insurance company to consider it more than just an annual physical. It sucks, and insurance companies are leaches on our general wellbeing, but it is within the rules of the established system. We need to change the rules of the system instead of complaining that the rules we think should exist aren't being followed. -

Seems like they are saying you can't go in for your free yearly physical and get treatment for everything. -
Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]

@immamac your near instantaneous response to my reply in this thread is flattering, if a bit unsettling. I can only conclude that you are stalking me and have made me an object of your adoration. Please be assured that this adoration is not mutual, although i do respect you as a person. I do not want there to be any misunderstandings between us. -

Hah! You would think that, but some of us have been working all night and are just now getting to sleep. /vizzini -

I'm honestly surprised that in the current environment that support of the second amendment is still controversial. It might become sort of important relatively soon. And most of the laws passed in response to stuff like this are statistically used (like if you spend even a little time researching racial disparities in enforcement of illegal firearm possession laws, in every instance where there is publicaly released data the results are impossible to deny) to put young black men in jail or in jail for longer. We are sacrificing generations of African American families and their futures so that white kids can feel a little bit safer. -
Colleyville may be a little bit of a racist place
NotActuallyALonghorn replied to cattail's topic in Daily Texan
You should celebrate by passing a law that will be used to put young black men in jail and give young white men a disapproving nod. I mean, this guy is an idiot. I wish I could say he is a total embarrassment to America, but there is unfortunately an element that craves it. But we stand at a crossroads right now. Civil War used to be the monster on the next page. It was always something that could happen if other somethings happened. Other somethings are actually happening right now, and some folks are still pushing for laws and regulations that will ultimately leave them powerless. -
For sure. That's something I realized as I got older and saw all these references to movies that came out well before I was old enough to watch them, but may have been spurned a bit by the time I reached that age because they didn't have the special effects that I grew up to expect. Once I was old enough to appreciate the stories of a lot of these movies while realizing that the special effects were secondary to the story I went back and started watching them. But by that point I was old enough for other pursuits and then that transitioned into raising a family, so while ive gone back and watched many of these films, I didn't get the benefit of watching them several times over in my adolescence.

I gotta start keeping track of things better. Was thinking this came out on Sunday nights (but I guess who would do that to themselves during football season) and was all excited... Now I'm watching the original which ive only seen a couple times because it is older than I am and at some point in my adult years I got too busy to keep up with everything current, go back and watch the "classics," and have a life outside of watching TV/Movies.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
NotActuallyALonghorn replied to atomheartbevo's topic in Movies and TV
Holy crap I am (I'm) in tears. I missed this and had to go back and watch it. That single clip is probably the Star Trek content I have (I've) ever seen. -
I must have watched a different Romo era. We found an abundance of ways to lose with him as QB, just like with Dak. He might have had more "flash" but when it counted the most, he failed. Both the Romo and Dak eras are almost identical. Early Romo was basically Dak, but late Romo was pretty good quarterbacking. Unfortunately late Romo was made out of fragile China. At the end of his career, his ability to make subtle moves to avoid sure tackles from his blind side in the box was unparalleled. Unfortunately it wasn't perfect and he would inevitably take a hit that took him out for a while. We need a quarterback to get to that skill level before he gets too old to recover from the game.

That went a lot better than I expected, so maybe there's hope for a season that isn't completely embarrassing. Our defense sucked donkey balls, but they made adjustments and stepped up after the weather delay. Maybe, probably not, but maybe, they learned how to not suck. Offense in general was pretty good until the end, and you can't really fault Dak, even though I don't care for him. With a couple exceptions he played a pretty good game.
