  1. Clearly you are not prepared to take on a variety of wild animals in close combat
  2. Roberts made his decision. Let him enforce it
  3. This dude should sue her for libel. Say he is deeply offended by her allegations of his being gay and engaged to a man as they violate his deeply held religious beliefs and have done him irreparable harm
  4. Are you saying honkey vape doesn’t want to serve black people?
  5. Russian amway oligarch lol only the best people
  6. She has tattoos. Clearly going to hell.
  7. At what point should Biden just start ignoring these bullshit rulings
  8. The running for president part? also y’all need to take the Hillary posts to the “45 indicted” thread
  9. I worry much more about my sons than my daughters. If you told me when they were babies I would feel this way I would say you were crazy
  10. Well, I hear we are building a new football practice facility
  11. Well, as a non-rich white kid who only got a little over 1300 on my SAT, I spent my undergraduate, graduate, and post graduate years dominating peers of all races who got 1500 to 1600. Of course many of them did better than I did, and some with lower scores thrashed us all. It’s kind of a ridiculous arbitrary measuring stick for actual academic and professional ability. Especially since you can take courses to improve your score. Many of the private schools actually have prep courses as part of the formal curriculum. And their parents send them to Kaplan etc and hire private tutors on top of that
  12. UT had about 40k UG when I matriculated in 1988. They have 41k now Texas had about 17M people in 1988 and 31+M now. That’s a real problem
  13. I think it does if your ultimate goal is the supreme court or the upper reaches of the federal government. Which is a whole separate issue IMO.
  14. No one is getting into Stanford or Michigan as just a chump w a Y chromosome. the problem here as someone mentioned upstream is 20 to 50 or more applicants with essentially the same creds applying for every 1 spot at the elite schools. Take out the legacy spots and it’s worse. My daughter graduated last spring and she was 3rd in her class at a very competitive public HS. She was within 1/1000 of a grade point of the valedictorian. Top 3 were women and the next 3 were men and there was a couple hundredths of a point between 1 and 6. All were >99th percentile on SAT and ACT. All had insane extracurriculars, community service hours, worked part time jobs etc on top of that. This occurs at thousands of schools across the country every year I’m at the point where just put all the kids above a minimum GPA/SAT combo in a lottery and choose the class at random
  15. A big strapping insurance exec with hairy forearms and tears in his eyes came up to him to tell him that
  16. Is Greg Abbott really going to stand for this?
