  1. I feel like WFH and general living in a bubble has started to drastically affect people. 

    I was just walking through the airport looking around. Everyone is glued to their phone, no one has any idea what the fuck is going on around them and I bet if someone asked the majority of folks their opinion on something that wasn’t impacting their immediate future or plans they would have no opinion or a very unformed one.

  2. Checks are kinda fucked in general. If you are going to continue using paper checks I would recommend using the online bill pay service from your bank. They will mail out a check same day. 

    If you are paying vendors with a check I always use cashiers checks or money orders. If they lose it it’s not my fucking problem and when you cancel them they are actually canceled.

    I just haven’t seen much to prove that it won’t just be 2020 redux. That’s been my prediction since the midterms in 2022 decimated the “red wave” polling

    I remember 2022 being essentially a complete disaster for republicans.

    i've seen one thing: we've never had the same map twice in a row.

    I honestly can’t think of much that is different from 2020 except for the emigration from California (largely red voters) to other already red states.

    You all sound like a bunch of poopy heads.

    I know in the past, Rick has bemoaned needing to walk that fine line between running a free-wheeling board and his increasing interaction with the powers that be (NIL has just increased that need). Bobby long ago made the choice to go clean, likely because he is part of the machine and deals with guys like CDC all the time.

    Imma wanted content creation. Bobby needed a web platform. Marriage made in G-Rated Heaven.

    I don’t really post over there, or quite frankly, open many of the threads since many are 80 year olds typing with one finger, finally venturing out into this new internet thing with the cheerleader posts (“We love you Jerry!”). Worse yet, there are several LTx wannabes who think their every thought is thread worthy (sometimes creating multiple threads for the same subject). I think some see the board as an opportunity to act like a moderator/expert.

    Bingo.

    Taking a page out of TexAgs' book with the 'leave Britney Terry Joseph alone' paragraph. Although it is interesting Gideon isn't getting as much heat on OTF.

    Oh well. We'll see how bad things get in the secondary this fall. The proof is in the pudding.

    Guys this isn’t complicated. It’s a very good thing for both sites that it works this way. That will never happen on surly. We don’t have credentials to take away.

    We all like Bobby and Gerry, but I'm not sure if recreating Hornfans over there, with no negativity or cussing, with those football savants is going to be much fun.

    i get what they want..  which is why i just soak up their intel and express my feelings on surly

    This is actually why surly exists and is deeply integrated. It’s for that exact reason. That is a place to keep pristine, very close affiliation with the university, coaches, players in an official media capacity etc. 

    This is the air gap between surly and the official program.

    Looking at the major US newspapers, the protests are lead over the events going on in Gaza.

    What happens here and how we feel about it is clearly more important than coverage of the actual conflict which is now boring and played out. “Israel kills more Palestinians who don’t even have guns to fight back anymore” can only be written so many ways before people get bored and have to make it about them.

  8. After tempers have cooled, my opinion hasn’t changed. I think it’s clear to faculty and students that Hartzell is working for something else other than the academia and research side of the UT system. Maybe he needs another job, but his current role doesn’t fit.

    OK, $14.4K per day on average.  575 customers at $25 per head.  Color me very skeptical.

    60 briskets avg cooked weight of 10lbs is 12k in food cost alone. 

    Any popular BBQ spot can do 60 briskets in a day. Especially the 3rd most popular one in Austin. 

    Did you ever go there? The line was always 20-30 deep for hours on end. I believe it.

    Are you suggesting their trailer did that 7 days per week?  I don't even know how many days they were open.

    They were open 6/wk. I’m sure most busy days they did double that if not more. 

    12k in food/drink sales isn’t that crazy when the average per person $ amount is at least $25.

  11. Idk about all these theories, but all you need to do is hang out with some of these young people and you will understand. 

    people don’t talk about sex anymore or get labeled a pervert or whore. Then the ones who want it silenced make it taboo.

    I think there are always a lot more virgin/near virgin types than people who have more partners think. I feel like among the nerds I’ve worked with there were some people who never ever got laid, some people who probably did twice in college but not much since then, and people who fit that mold who then found a similar nerdette online and got married. And a bunch of folks with more “normal” levels of physical intimacy.

    my brother in law has been overweight since forever, drives a bread truck, serial friend zoned by girls out of his league, now he likes fishing, camping, and knives, his dog, authoritarian politics, and not trying to have sex at all.

    i think a thing that has changed is that people have bigger lives online and there are larger niche communities that are accessible. 40 years ago if you don’t like the popular music, you need an older brother somewhere to show you husker du or you just move on to other things. Now if you can only orgasm while wearing a diaper you can find an active community of like minded individuals in 4 minutes. And those communities have gone from being the sideshow to your real life to the reverse for many people - they begrudgingly go out and do what is required to keep their meat vessel operating before they dip back into the metaverse. It is normal for these dudes to talk about not getting laid and accept not having a “normal” full social life because they are constantly surrounded by others like them in the place where they primarily exist.

    Yep.

    I’m concerned about an acquittal.  He’ll get huge “I just win baby” momentum out of it.  The base will be fired up. 

    lol I don’t think that’s in the cards.

  14. @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
