  1. invite your friends to this page it's that good. share it everywhere. lol maybe I can get it sponsored by meta.
  2. @DixonHur I think you are doing a great job of defending your position that is clearly at odds with many people without trolling so kudos. /endmodmode I also think you are missing the point here, this happened to specifically accomplish one thing: silence an unwanted opinion being vocalized on campus. This wasn’t done for student safety, keeping the sidewalks unobstructed for finals, or any other literal answer that is sunshine and rainbows you can pull out of your ass. It was done to show that “Texas doesn’t fuck around with terrorist supporting liberal children, and we will expel them from school and do our best to ruin anyone who opposes our stance or commands” that’s the issue. In a vacuum this happens and people would literally be so WTF about it you would be arguing against your damn self right now, but mix in the national media attention/agenda, the current geopolitical climate and situation and poof everyone turns their distracted rage brain on and forgets what actually happened
  3. you got some key pieces wrong. Fixed them in bold.
  4. That's not what this site was or is. I explicitly said it's irreverence with the serious undertones which is specifically different from whatever collegehumor/4chan bullshit label you are trying to stick on surly. The vast majority of humor on this site isn't cringe-ass 4 year old tough guy bullshit, but there is plenty of that because it's a bunch of 35-55 year olds on the internet.
  5. I think that's part of the issue, and maybe what @Thetexashammer and @Rex Kramer are somewhat alluding to, but the words escape them. A lot of this could be disagreement, but at least it was fun to read or participate in. It's turned into a slog of strong opinions and lines in the sand, which for threads like this one are really anti-surly idealistically. The CR topic for this is actually where that stuff should happen and traditionally has happened, because it's about positing what should happen to fix/rectify with public policy etc.
  6. I mean it used to be so goofy that we had to use a [SERIOUS] label at the end of Shaggy/beginning of surly because people were goofing TOO much.
  7. Or you could frame that exact same thing in a way that wasn't outrage and was making fun of Hartzell being a fluffer of the fascists or something else that uses more than 1% of the brainpower you have and is just pooped out raw emotion on a keyboard. I'm not saying it's funny, I'm saying the way surly in particular can and has framed stuff that is serious in the past is with a lot of irreverence with an underlying tone of seriousness and gravity that isn't lost on the posters.
  8. yeah seriously, I'm about to start locking threads up like this. They don't actually do anything and aren't a positive outlet for anything.
  9. This is a lot simpler than you are all making it. It has everything to do with personal integrity and nothing to do with anything else. Hartzell cannot be trusted anymore with situations like this, he's the wrong person. He handled the DEI thing extremely poorly and now this. He isn't suited for the role. People who argue that the role is placating the BoR and whatnot, no it's not that's not the role, it's to protect and promote what's good for UT and it's faculty, staff and students as a premier education and research institution. Also he literally called fucking riot police to a peaceful protest on his own campus. I was on campus, it was fucking insane and I didn't even get out to see it until around 5PM. Some of you have no idea and are very much armchairing this shit, I was on campus, it was an embarrassment how ridiculous the response. Some of you legitimately have not looked at the actual footage of what happened. It was literal fascism on the UT campus silencing a message that they didn't want.
  10. So this is the UT thread for these protests, not the national thread of all protests. The UT protest specifically doesn't have any of this shit @Frank Drebin so go put it in the right thread, also this isn't a thread for you to just bitch over and over about stuff it's a thread for discussing the event and the happenings of it, which include many government entities and organizations and people. That's not CR. Talking about the future policy creation and what needs to happen from here etc etc is all CR and should go in that thread which exists for the purposes of that. This just isn't true, the site is a reflection of what is happening in society I'm not fucking causing protests on the UT campus and forcing the topic of Zionism, anti-semitism, genocide and muslim xenophobia on here. If you guys were fucking funny about anything anymore then it would be fine, but instead everyone wants to get all fucking butthurt about shit instead of finding the funny commentary with a bit of a serious undertone. I do agree that there was some high brow intellectualism that used to go into some of the stuff like this. Now there's a bunch of outrage only which should stop. Read your posts before posting, if it's an outrage post and no one is gonna laugh at it, why are you posting it? Are you actually going to change someone's mind? Is it just therapeutic for you? What exactly are you gaining and what is the community gaining from your contribution? This thread can be fun as a thread, on a topic that is definitely not fun and it can make this subject approachable to people who it wouldn't normally be approachable to. Instead it's a dumpster fire piece of shit of a thread that's devolved into IF YOU DONT THINK LIKE ME YOU ARE A BAD HUMAN AND SUPPORT GENOCIDE AND RAPE AND GASSING THE JEWS. Calm the fuck down, it's a god damned sports message board centered around UT. This happened at UT and it's fucking shitty and stupid, but it can also be something that is not just another outrage outlet like fox, cnn, politico, whatever bullshit.

  12. You missed the point of the comparison. It's lack of accountability for the actual job instead of personal enrichment or benefit. He chose to personally benefit instead of doing his fucking job and will be rewarded for it by the board who are deranged Maga bootlicker fucks.
  13. Jay Hartzell being in a tough spot is his job. He failed miserably to do a key part of his job. He has failed the students and he has failed the faculty. Anyone defending this is the same as defending reality detached CEOs and their exorbitant pay and destruction of product and innovation for the sake of shareholder value. UT is not a business it's a public institution focused on research and education.
