and at that point, you gotta think, "you know what, i'm not interested in anyone who's interested in someone like that."
This is a big part of why the Bachelorette concept has never worked for me, but the Bachelor does.
That's something guys say.
Women would think, "Why is he interested in someone like her, when he could be interested in me?" and fight even harder to get the guy.

Gaine went to high school with CJ Nitkowski.
Did that HS offer a class called How to be a Smarmy Asshole, or did Nitkowski pick that up on his own?

But wasn't 2x punitive the max? 11 + 22 = 33 million
Maybe not. I'm not a lawyer.
QuoteIn Ohio, there is a cap that ensures a punitive award no more than doubles the amount of compensatory damages — which in this case means a punishment of $22 million dollars or less.
Since the award of $33.2 million is above the punitive damages cap, Lee Plakas, lead attorney for the Gibson family, said motions will probably be filed to lower the award.

Reading that story, it's unreal that the school's admin did all the shit they did to keep their little snowflake students happy.
It would be if you're not already familiar with Oberlin:
QuotePizza, pasta, bratwurst, matzo ball soup, General Tso’s chicken, sushi, burritos: Many foods commonly eaten in the United States are appropriated from other cultures. After all, Europeans didn’t just steal a continent from Native Americans — they also stole popcorn. And what is a truly “American” food, anyway? The Twinkie?
But at a liberal arts college in Ohio known for its academic exclusivity, dining halls and one food service company are getting called out for faux versions of other nations’ cuisines. According to an article published last month in the Oberlin Review, which covers goings-on at Oberlin College, the fight began, in part, over what was called a banh mi sandwich, but seemed little like the Vietnamese delight.
“Instead of a crispy baguette with grilled pork, pate, pickled vegetables and fresh herbs, the sandwich used ciabatta bread, pulled pork and coleslaw,” the Review reported. Diep Nguyen, a first-year student from Vietnam, complained: “It was ridiculous … How could they just throw out something completely different and label it as another country’s traditional food?”
At a college fraught with racial tension — including, in recent memory, racist graffiti, students allegedly wearing Klu Klux Klan robes, and the blog Oberlin Microaggressions — these were fighting words. Even sushi, also available on campus, wasn’t safe from being criticized as part of a “culturally appropriative sustenance system,” as the Review put it.
“When you’re cooking a country’s dish for other people, including ones who have never tried the original dish before, you’re also representing the meaning of the dish as well as its culture,” Tomoyo Joshi, a junior from Japan, said. “So if people not from that heritage take food, modify it and serve it as ‘authentic,’ it is appropriative.” The Review added that Joshi thought “the undercooked rice and lack of fresh fish is disrespectful.”
[The war on ‘microaggressions:’ Has it created a ‘victimhood culture’ on campuses?]
The school’s campus dining services blamed the alleged appropriation on a desire for variety.
“Hopefully, if you dined with us … there would be one thing in every meal that you would want to eat,” Michile Gross, director of business operations and dining services, said. She added: “It’s important to us that students feel comfortable when they are here.”
At Oberlin, meanwhile, it appears progressive politics are already on the radar of those dishing up the grub that keeps angry students energized.
“The dining halls at Oberlin College do more than feed students, faculty, and staff,” according to the school’s website. “Through progressive procurement policies, including an extensive Farm-to-Fork program, sustainable seafood principles, animal proteins free of human-therapeutic growth hormones and antibiotics, socially aligned coffee choices and cage-free eggs, Oberlin College and Bon Appétit Management Company provide nutritious meals that invest in nearby farms, dairies, ranches and aquaculture operations, preserve the bounty of our oceans, lakes and fields so they can feed future generations, and provide sufficient incomes to food producers so they can live with dignity.”
[University yoga class canceled because of ‘oppression, cultural genocide’]
Bon Appetit also puts itself forward as the dining-hall supplier even a vegetarian socialist could love.
“Our food is cooked from scratch, including sauces, stocks, and soups. (Salsa, too!),” the company’s website reads. “A pioneer in environmentally sound sourcing policies, we’ve developed programs addressing local purchasing, overuse of antibiotics, sustainable seafood, the food–climate change connection, humanely raised meat and eggs, and farmworkers’ rights. We’re grateful to have been recognized by many leading foundations, nonprofits, and industry associations for our work.”

However Kameron Dunbar, a member of Oberlin’s Class of 2019 and the communications chairman for the student senate at the time of the protests, said the case’s outcome should not be celebrated.
"It brings about concerns of free speech principles — specifically the right of students to assemble for protests, the repercussions for institutions, the liability of an institution that doesn’t censor its members’ speech,” she said. “I think those are real questions.”
Too bad this stupid bitch threw away a quarter mil on tuition and didn't actually learn anything.

This is an important point. Houston has the largest population of Texas Exes in the state. They all live inside the loop. All the aggies live in the burbs. They are very, very different places.
Most of my students want to get jobs in Austin when they graduate. That's hard to do, so I usually tell them to look for jobs in Houston. The ones who aren't from Houston don't want to do that, and I tell them, "Get a job in Houston, pay more than you want to for an apartment inside the loop, and I guarantee you will love it." I have yet to have someone tell me I was wrong.
I don't think I could say that about Dallas.

Most of us valley folk don’t like Laredo, mostly because it’s a shithole and geography-challenged northern people always think it’s part of the valley. It’s almost 2 hours away.
Not gonna lie, I'm guilty of that (or used to be), same thing with Del Rio. My best friend used to live in Harlingen and a couple of years back, his kid's HS played Laredo United in a playoff game in SA. I couldn't understand why they were playing in San Antonio until I looked at a map.

Houston has been getting bowed up about being a better food city and being more diverse.

austin fucking rocks. austin, not the fucking round rock, kyle, cedar park, buda or any of the stupid burbs. i drive 5-10 mins west of austin and i'm smack in the middle of the hill country. 10 mins outside of town and you'd never know you were surrounded by 1M people.
So Austin rocks, but the towns around it suck, and the reason Austin rocks is because things outside of Austin are so cool.
Do I have that correct?

Exactly. Not to go all cloak-roomy, but a lot of people in DFW claim/joke that Austin isn't even in Texas.

So this is the guy (in the front) the three students had on the ground and were stomping:
I'll bet that played well with the jury. How in the world did Oberlin let this get to trial?
Also, Oberlin has turned the ship in only two days!
From this:
QuoteIn an email to the college alumni association, an Oberlin vice president, Donica Thomas Varner, said legal counsel was reviewing the verdict and deciding how to proceed. Oberlin’s spring semester ended on May 19.
“We are disappointed with the verdict and regret that the jury did not agree with the clear evidence our team presented,” she wrote.
to this:
QuoteOberlin College’s attorneys, meanwhile, tried to convince the jury that the college has learned its lesson and is being a better community partner by educating its students on how to be good neighbors and residents.
Oberlin attorney Rachelle Kuznicki Zidar had a different take, telling jurors that her client heard the message they sent when they ruled against the college.
“You have sent a profound message,” she told the jury. “Colleges across the nation have heard you” and Oberlin College in particular “never wants to sit at this table ever again.”

I'm cheering for Florida State. Either to win it all or to lose it in some bizarre heartbreaking Florida State Baseball sort of way.
You always hear announcers going on and on about every coach in every game being such a wonderful person who is liked by all.
But that is the absolute truth about Mike Martin. I seriously think he might be the most well-liked person in all of college sports. Other than Omaha, the mainstream newspaper writers hate covering college baseball. One year, I covered the ACC tournament, and sure enough, the guys from the Miami Herald, Orlando Sentinel, etc. were all bitching about having to spend the weekend watching college baseball. But every one of them loved Martin. And everyone calls him "Eleven."
So yeah, I'm rooting for FSU, even though I know they will lose in some bizarre heartbreaking bullpen meltdown.

Jr. always seemed like an asshole but this shit is so out there I have to wonder if it is CTE-related.
Sometimes these guys end up doing sexually inappropriate shit. I've never heard of serial rape, but I did read about one CTE victim who became a chronic public masturbator. Before you laugh or joke about it on here, be warned, it really was sad, the dude was totally demented, and he was beloved by his family, and I can't stress this enough, he is a legend on this board. I will say no more on it than that. Do your own research if you have to know who it was.
This guy?
or this guy???
