Hefe wasn't seriously arguing that point.
It's your side, if not you specifically, that constantly argues that anything other than pure laissez-faire capitalism is socialism or communism.
No, but his lack of education on the subject renders him unable to contribute to the thread, or to understand the discussion, so all he has left is his ability to act out as a child would. He is a micro example of Bozo's macro example.

Huh? Is there something we don’t know?Nicole mentioned it in the game thread. It appears he filed for divorce in July 2024 and then "they reconciled". So I strongly suspect it is true. I imagine you could go dig up the court filings if you really wanted confirmation.

Better regulated capitalism is not socialism or communism.
Indeed, that was my point. Your comment should be addressed to Hefe.

Which begs is the question, the people you claim want socialism, is it now your opinion that all of them have a uniform definition that they are proposing? Because I think you missed the fact that most people in America are dumber than shit, and a significant number of them who aren’t dumber than shit are still willing to accept dumber than shit talking points from the team they identify with.
The one true thing is that the GOP often likes to use socialism and communism as epithets - words tied to no meaning or content other than its use as an epithet that Cletus thinks means they are bad people.
IOW, I was calling bullshit on the underlying proposition of your post.
1. A graduate of UT is not dumb as shit.
2. I hate to disappoint you, but you are agreeing with me. Imagine, railing against price fixing from "big chicken" but not from the Fed or from the money printers.

My question had nothing to do with what you thought the term means -whether you went to college or not. My comment had to do with you proposing that there was a vigorous debate among an entire generation that socialism was the way to go.
Why would you ask me that?

The first thing you have to do is define socialism. Most of MAGA thinks that socialism is “that thing that the Democrats want to do.” You’re gonna have to come up with some poll numbers that define what they meant, because I personally would be fine with a Swedish style combination of socialism and capitalism, understanding that things like the military, Social Security healthcare, police protection, fire protection, the FDA, FEMA, etc. are all socialism under our current American economic construct.
Which one of those do you hate?
Disagree, I don't have to define anything. It has already been defined. SOCIALISM Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
Nobody is advocating for allowing private companies to exploit their market power to raise prices and engage in anticompetitive behavior. It's been at least 100 years since we understood regulation of monopolies. His is in no way a serious allegation. It is insane. You can only conflate "capitalism" and price fixing if you are totally uneducated on the subject.
Actually we have underenforced our laws by allowing large tech monopolies to exert market power.
The sine qua non of the Federal Reserve is, in fact, price fixing. Which is not capitalism. Money printing, likewise, is not capitalism.
College graduates should understand the words they are using. And almost universally, they don't.

Sark’s current wife L’Oréal (whom Sark left his previous wife for—L’Oréal knew he was married when she basically went after Sark) recently gave birth to another man’s child while she is still married to Sark. Yet he wears the shit she picks out for him with pride. Makes a ton of sense. 🎃
Belichick is sideyeing the messy of all this.
Holy shit, I had no idea. Talk about off season drama.

You mean like Aikman's first season where he was ragdolled every game and went 1-15?

the main reason you don’t go for geo there is that sark is fucking terrible at two-point/short yardage plays.
This is correct.

Scipio Tex on UTEP game...
Offensive Line
Since Ohio State, I’ve pointed out the fundamental issues on the offensive line here and on the Inside Texas Youtube channels. They’re not very strong, some of them have absolutely terrible bases, and they’re not technical. Sporadic lack of effort is also troubling. That criticism was so well received!
I’ve written for the public long enough to know that being early never has any reward, and you’re left managing the emotions of upset fans who would prefer to be lied to, as they employ the box score the way a drunk uses a lamp post: for support rather than illumination. Eventually, reality catches up. The Iron Laws of OL play are eternal and immutable. So, are we all caught up now? We good? Then let’s move on…
Texas shifted from a 2:1 gap/zone blocking bias in their first two contests to nearly 60% zone running against UTEP. That was partly due to UTEP’s irregular fronts giving us problems by alignment and some free runners making plays, but also because they’re just looking for anything right now, and zone seems to better suit young James Simon who got a significant second half workload.
The truth is that this is a (poorly) zone trained OL and they’re much more comfortable just trying to get a hat on someone for a second and a half and calling it a block, even if moving and passing off defenders reveals athletic deficits. Connor Stroh had some doozies in this game, I’ve seen newborn giraffes negotiate I-10 traffic with more surety. It’s a hard watch at times.
DJ Campbell contributed another pair of penalties. He’s now at five in three games. On a zone play, Texas had a 3 on 3 playside and Campbell managed to not block a single man, but did help the RB off of the ground after the untouched linebacker nailed him. Your 33 game starting senior. I’m told our issues stem from inexperience. By start 40 or 41, I'm sure he’ll be dialed in.
Goosby played well, but tried an ill-advised cut block on an edge where he completely whiffed and got Manning destroyed. When I say completely whiffed, I mean he jumped out sideways into a ball and no part of his body touched the defender. Like, why? Brandon Baker pass blocked well, but he got manhandled in goal line and he has a obvious strength deficit. Good feet and he tries though, and we can work with that.
Connor Robertson got 19 snaps. He did OK. Like much of the OL, he’s not game strong. Right now, the OL is a bit of a mishmash of skill sets and deficits that don’t play well together. There is no lineup that will yield a high level offensive line, but the coaches may want to think about what combination they can live and die with. Maybe just start the best athletes, simplify if necessary, and try to win with feet and motor?
Dude nailed it. Holy shit.

This running the ball up the middle for no yards is reminding me of slow developing pass plays against Nebraska and Ndomakong Suh.

He ran the ball up the middle on the first play and ran 40 seconds off the clock. He didn't try to score.

We had two minutes to go until halftime with three timeouts. Sark took a knee. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Arch Manning is not good at the game of football.
