I agree but I would add the non inclusion of the dislike button resulted in the laugh emoji 😂 becoming the default dislike. Its one thing to see ideas downvoted but the 😂 generates a completely different level of mad

The one thing that took "the act" out of my own personal realm of consideration is hearing it described as that person killed somebody. He killed somebody's brother, somebody's son, somebody's teammate. As low as Ive ever been I could never get past that part, the absolute devastation that would never go away in the people I love. When I was 18 my cousin self deleted and that entire side of the family was never the same. Am I lucky to have people that love me to consider during those terrible moments? Absolutely. My heart goes out to everyone who's ever been so low and had nobody in their lives to change their mind. And every person's mental illness is different. I also consider myself lucky that Ive had the wherewithal to remind myself during those times, it's not taken for granted and Im certainly not saying everyone else should be lucky enough to save themselves

UPS Airlines crash on take off at Louisville Airport.
cmontexas replied to Laxtonto's topic in Daily Texan
I worked at UPS for a long time and know a lot of people, nobody in Louisville though. It's going around that the plane in question was pulled out of service last year and recently put back into service also that it supposedly had some sort of engine troubles the day before the flight. Could be total bullshit. The attempts upthread to tie this accident to the government shutdown aren't the only ones politicizing this. UPS cut 48,000 jobs in the last year alone and have brought forward many other cost cutting measures that are extremely unpopular with the rank and file. Just thinking from a logistical standpoint I know package volume has been running at almost half of covid high levels, so Im not sure why they would need to press a shoddy plane into service -
To me it's instructive that the answer to every pundit's favorite question "What's wrong with young men?" is that economic insecurity far outweighs the racist and/or sexist motivations ascribed to that group

Mamdani won basically using Bernie Sanders platform. Young males by 40 percent. That's it. That's the lesson

There should be a limit to how many times per page someone can post

CNN concerned about the divisiveness of Mamdani's speech

Every time Ive gotten on facebook the last few weeks I am inundated with stories about a British singer named Lily Allen divorcing her husband, who is the hairy guy from Stranger Things. I don't give two fucks about either one of these people yet endless content is being shoved down my throat. I guess she has a new album or something but it is crazy to me that rich celebrities will pay lots of money to shove their personal problems in everybody's face

Bye Week Fodder- Texas' Historic Game Recommendations
cmontexas replied to Sir Ulrich's topic in Football
2008 Oklahoma -
I distinctly reading an article in late 93/ early 94 probably in Sports Illistrated about the Blue Jays payroll and how the Skydome/Canadian TV contract generated so much money that the other MLB teams would be unable to compete with Toronto financially. Then the strike happened and the Yankees became the exact juggernaut the article was sowing concern about

Was that the game the ref channeled the old white lady from Perfect Neighbor and bumped into Charlie Strong then flopped on the sidelines to throw another personal foul flag?

Couple months ago I leaned back on the couch with my fingers interlocked across my chest. Woke up about 2 hours later and had pulled my middle finger out of socket I guess. Still hurts like a mfer. Getting old is dumb
