    I’m headed to Port O this weekend to wade fish for what I assume is trout and reds. This is a vendor trip so don’t have all the details yet. Any suggests on rigs besides what you mentioned above? I haven’t been saltwater fishing in like 10 years. 

    My work trip was in the fall but always had great luck with a gold spoon.

    So, putting the rule changes together... is getting injured in the 3rd overtime or later going to be an automatic penalty if the medical staff doesn't get on the field before the ball is spotted and they are out of timeouts? 

    That's well past Corsos ability to answer at this point.

    Between that night and the next season of officiating sub-varsity games, 7-JV, the abhorrent attitude of coaches and spectators took the “fun” out of it. I used to love doing 7th-8th grade games, as I’d do more “coaching” than officiating. Trust me, we’d have to swallow the whistle or we’d never finish a game.

    Varsity games for me were numb, crowd/coaches wise, as I was an Umpire for many years (right behind the LBs) in the middle of the field. I loved Texas HS Friday nights in the Fall, but the spirit left me and thinking I’d just take a year off to “regroup/focus” I’d come back.

    I found that I liked watching Game Day on Saturday at 8, instead of doing a Freshman A-B and getting home at HT of a (11:00 KO) Longhorns game at 12:30. The $$$ wasn’t really worth the time and effort.

    Last FB season, I kind of missed the Friday Nights, but the rest ruined the fun and made it more like an obligation.

    Hook’em!!!

    I coach a couple of youth basketball teams and have had "mostly" good luck with parents and officials. Only have 1 tech and 1 dad jump a table to fight me in 10 seasons.

    MFG - TAPA.

    Most newer officials, less than 8 years exp, in the SA area and state wide are expected to work 3-4 days a week, to include Saturday.

    TASO is thin statewide, as I stated earlier, where we used to have 4 for 5-6A JV games, we were glad to have three. I’ve worked multiple Jr High games with two officials.

    Hook’em!!!

    They advertise over the PA during our varsity games the need for officials and the steps needed to become one.

    Supposedly a buddies friend does it betting on red/black in roulette. Problem is going on a bad run and hitting the table limit.

    We hedged it by waiting for a color to hit 3 times then bet the other color.

    Actually, that approach works just fine for the right.  They want, have asked for, voted for, and are receiving, an intolerant authoritarian state.

    Don't tell me that right-leaning voters don't like being told what to do, or not allowing lanes for others.  They fucking LOVE people being told what to do, and people being shoved into a narrow lane.  It fucking brings them orgasmic joy.  Because "rules for thee, not for me."

    "We thought he was gonna brutalize OTHER people with tariffs, not US!"  "We thought he'd hurt those lazy leeches, not us folks who are about to start new jobs!"  NOBODY on the right is upset at all about the harm, cruelty, and brutality of the regime they voted for.  They only get upset when they are collateral damage of the chaos they voted for.

    There's no "both sides of the street" or compromise with such thinking.

    It's the middle that doesn't like it. Both ends do. The ends are going to vote how they're going to vote regardless. The middle is where you get the swing.

    See, it's not that Dems need to court nazis.  No, that's ridiculous.  It's that Dems need to make room at the table for discussion of the idea that maybe jews and other inferior races are conspiring to drag America down, and maybe we should protect America for REAL Americans.  That's all we're saying here.  And also, in order to stop the snobbish elites from running things, we need to turn over ever single seat and lever of power to the richest humans on earth, who have nothing but our well-being and the public good in mind.  We need to listen to ideas like that, and follow through on them.

    In short form, this - this is what we should have been more open-minded and welcoming about:

    How many people tried to get you to back down the dead name take? You lose people when you want both sides of the street for yourself but only see one lane for others. I have found a way to disagree with a lot on both sides. All i said was an often repeated line about the left can't meme and i'm unvaxxed and this board did what people have spent the better part of the last 4 years doing. I still altered my normal voting habits in spite of it. As you can tell, well others didn't.

    So please tell me how you fix that kind of stupid?

    First. Don't act like it doesn't exist or only exist on the "conservative corners of the internet". Second. Understand not all allies look like you, think like you and will have different viewpoints on some major items. A lot of the people with disagreeing voices felt spoke down to, by people like you, instead of understood on any level and they decided you were the machine. Body autonomy for abortion = good. To not take a vaccine after you'd had covid already once = bad. Theres nuance to this if you want to see it.

    I’m not asking about the origins or quality of memes.

    I’m interested in these posts from you:


    You specifically said the Left needs to pay attention to “conservative corners”.

    For the third time, please tell me what these conservative corners are. I can speculate but you’re directly saying that these conservative corners are effecting the democratic loss. I want to understand who you recommend the left courts to win elections.

    There is a reason i spoke directly to him each time.  I don't know what the hell he's talking about. The left can't meme wasn't some small conservative corners of the internet unless one is calling social media small conservative corners of the internet. Maybe once he gets finished celebrating his breaking point of watching people suffer he will come back and let us know.

    What does this even mean? Answer my question, please. You’ve referenced conservative corners in two separate posts. I want to understand your take.

    I said the left cant meme is a thing for a reason. Aggy08 hit me with this:

     

     

    Yeah, that's not actually a thing anywhere outside the conservative corners of the internet. Conservatives thinking that they're the funny ones is always adorable. Conservatives are the ones who keep shows like Two and Half Men on the air for a billion years.

    Is ignoring corners worse than calling Democrats "pedophiles, enemies of the state, and un-American?"

    You tell me if you're happy with the election and ill tell you if ignoring it was worse. I'm not thrilled so i'd have preferred the left had played the game a bit more than just deciding things were trending well and no way was trump going to get elected.

    I've got to be honest: I have no idea what you're trying to argue anymore.

    That the little conservative corners of the internet you want to ignore just whipped the ever living shit out of the machine and its going to keep happening until people admit its real. You want to judge people for hitting their breaking points before you and act special because you just hit yours. Only one of us woke up surprised to the results of the election.

     How do you combat alternative realities? 

     

    Remember your "they don't exist" remark? You start by believing they do and you can grow from there. Trump wasn't the only one telling people what was going to happen. Everyone wants everyone to suffer for them not listening, yet most of you weren't listening either. The mirroring is weird.

    Yet you're still looking around wondering how we got here and i could see it coming for miles away. I typically vote 3rd party because they all suck, but actually didn't this time. From your tone i bet you wouldn't believe who i voted for either. The left will either learn to pay a little attention to those "conservative corners" or continue ignoring them and we all can just take the giant L. But hey at least some of yall can feel vindicated in behaving like the ones you so despise.

    I wonder if all this (Trump 2.0 and everything that has transpired the last, let's say, 100 days) could have been avoided if we as a country took a less hardline approach to the vaccinations back in 2021. Hindsight being 20/20 and all, I do wonder if the outcomes would have been materially or statistically significantly different if the NEVER-VAXERS and Vax-Anxious didn't feel "forced" to take it. I think most people who had even small reservations were like me in that they still got or would get the jab.

    It 100% would have made a difference. The right keeps talking and the left keeps thinking they know better. The left wanted to save the world and in turn lost everything. The left can't meme was a thing for a reason. It's the way so many on here talk. They are so angry that it didn't go their way they are now celebrating becoming what they hate. It's fascinating to watch in real time. I never got vaxxed. I've had covid 3 times. If given the choice between covid and the flu im picking covid every time.
