    My lane is not whining my way through life and dealing with things that can be gasp hard. It pains me that there are so many so called adults in this country who are perpetual victims and always looking for something to be offended by.

    Do you understand that there is a difference between losers who look for sympathy for being marginalized, gender-shamed, fat-shamed, etc, and people suffering from serious mental health issues due to things they can’t control like their physiological makeup and social conditions like rape, war veterans w PTSD, and more?  

  2. I think what @Derka is saying is that there is a huge gulf of understanding between people who suffer from depression/mental illness and those who don't, unless you experience it yourself.

    For people like me who don't understand, we categorize it as "having the blues," or claim it will go away once you solve the problem, or reaching out should be enough to prevent a suicide. I'm sure many a person has been saved by someone caring, but there seems to be a large group of people who are immune to any effort to save them. My friend's son ultimately was.

    My father's best friend did it to himself after failing twice before, he was a well known doctor with a beautiful family.  He thought nobody liked him, and that was the reason.  At the funeral people were turned away from the church and had to stay outside. About 5 years ago his daughter did the same thing. 

    Wow, that's awful about the daughter. Just as studies seem to indicate that the propensity to commit crime may be hereditary, (they tracked families in Philadelphia that were criminals over many generations) perhaps the urge to kill yourself can also be inherited.

    Didn't say it wasn't heartbreaking. Just saying wait a while and the problems will get better. Problems "feeling" permanent when they're not is not a reason to end your life. 

    The 'wait a while and problems will get better' idea may be irrelevant for people who have serious mental health issues. Problems aren't necessarily the issue. Some people are chemically predisposed to kill themselves and you can only prevent it from happening for so long. My best friend lost her son to suicide. He had a great life. They were totally blindsided.

  5. Since this is a Bye Week, I'm putting this here. We have a custom clothes maker in East Austin who creates suits for a large number of current and former Longhorns and other athletes. 

    The place is sotoandco.com 

    The clothes are nice. While I was there, M.J. McFarland came in. I think he sells real estate in Austin now. Great space in a container building and check out some of the clientele:

    Pavia didn’t do shit for 95% of the game. 
    the only time he did anything was an absolute brain fart in the secondary and when the ref show started. Just about every big play he had Vandy was holding like OU. Go ball wash elsewhere. 

    Fair point. Aside from his 177.8 rating, his 71.1% completion percentage, 365 passing yards and  3 touchdown passes plus his long touchdown run, he didn't do anything. Glad you cleared that up.

  7. I like Diego Pavia.

    He is a tough-nosed baller and keeps plays alive with his feet and throws really well on the run.

    How many times did he get past our linemen when other QB's would have been caught? 

    He's the kind of person you don't want to be competing with at your first big job when you are in your twenties, unless you were really, really determined and don't waste your nights partying w your friends, 'cause he's gonna be grinding away.

    I'm happy someone like him, who has had a tough road, is having success.

  8. Okay, a little bird told me the following and this bird never tells lies: 

    Hat Creek Burger Company is calling the play for Texas fans this weekend with a game-day offer. If the Horns beat Vandy on Saturday, Nov. 1, Hat Creek will reward fans with a free Cheeseburger from 3–5 p.m. at all 26 locations statewide — no purchase necessary.

    I don't know what's more surprising....the fact that he signed a 4 yr, $100M contract in 2021 and still felt compelled to engage in this shit, or merely the fact that Terry Rozier signed a 4 year, $100M contract. Fucking crazy money these cats are making, and still cant avoid getting in these fucked up situations. Stupid as fuck. 

    Yeah, we're not exactly talking about the best and the brightest here. 

  10. "According to reports, the IRS filed an $8,218,211 federal income tax lien against Rozier in November 2023. This news came to light around the same time he was arrested and indicted on federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in connection with an illegal sports betting scheme. 
    Rozier's attorney, Jim Trusty, has disputed the amount, stating that Rozier only owed $9,000 of the total 2021 taxes, which has since been paid, and that they are working with the IRS to have the lien removed. 
    The timing of the tax lien has led to speculation that the alleged gambling scheme, in which Rozier is accused of manipulating his performance in a game to profit from prop bets, may have been a way to pay off the substantial tax debt."
     
    According to reports, there is no record of the tax lien coming off the books, so Rozier's lawyer is probably just blowing smoke. If this is true, and it sure looks like it is, perhaps Rozier's scam was because of a huge tax debt and this is not mob-related.
     
    And get out your popcorn cause Adam Silver has to testify in front of congress in two weeks about why they didn't find any cheating by Rozier, haha.

    god, ai is so dumb.  

    Hey, I'm already in a lot of trouble on this site for my posts, and maybe for some money that has gone missing, so if we could keep this quiet and don't alert Immamac to this latest post, that would be really, really great. Thanks for your discretion.

    Looks like Texas is playing Vandegrift, not Vanderbilt. Given where you live, you sure you didn’t list the wrong one in your AI prompt haha?

    Haha. Texas would beat Vanderbilt and Vandergrift.
