    We gave up 57 points to Kansas and a 3rd string QB at home.

    People don't realize how bad this team really is. It's bad bad, they over perform because of some really elite skill players and a coach who can get those players open for explosive plays. If they shut down explosive this team is weak as fuck. Basically we have to have rojo put the team on his back (or bijan in the case of TCU) to win grindy games. 

    This team for the most part lost 6 games in a row. The upgrades we got are good, but weren't where we needed them. If the freshman step up (unlikely) and show they are difference makers early, then maybe there is some hope. 

    That is not to say that they can't win 8-9 games this year, it will just be like Texas tech circa Mike Leach. Those teams were trash (but better olines) and won games based on pure scheme and skill players.

    It's definitely Genocide. 


    Article II
    In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with
    intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as
    such:


    (a) Killing members of the group;

    Mass Graves in Bucha


    (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

    I mean, duh. 


    (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its
    physical destruction in whole or in part;

    Russia State agency declares desire to exterminate Ukrainians


    (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

    No evidence yet. 


    (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
    Ukrainian Children taken and sent to Russia

    Right, and I feel like we have to step in and let the world know that genocide is not acceptable full stop. I mean when the Pope starts calling the UN Impotent, it's basically an invitation for the world to do the right thing.

  3. Idk how much longer it's acceptable for us to sit on the sidelines while Russia is straight up killing civilians. This isn't a war anymore it's genocide due to losing the war. 

    They have already backed off from the nuclear threat and opened up the possibility for us to eradicate them from inside of Ukraine, just not pursue into Russian territory. It seems like it's quickly approaching go time for this and maybe that's what all the UN posturing is about. 

    If china wants to start WW3 to defend genocide then WW3 was inevitable.

    Well, you booted me off the CR and now here, too. Not very charitable to the First Amendment's principles, but it's your board, and if you want everyone in lockstep, so be it. 

    Super weird that GOOGLE sent out this email especially for fucking idiots like you and anastasis. I don't use google ads or ad manager (I sell inventory directly). 

    YOU are the problem, not the rest of the community.

    This is great advice.  Spend a bit to get this done and then call all your former competitors, vendors and clients and let them know you are available. Tell them that you have a very particular set of skills. Skills you have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make you a great asset for people like them.   Then sit back and profit.

    @SHOOTER12 seriously it costs like a few hundred bucks on legalzoom to get this done, just do it today while you have a bunch of time. Then just call people you know and tell them for 100/hr you will help out with whatever. 8 hour blocks paid weekly up to 24 hours available a week. 

    I think you will be surprised how much interest you get.

    Raytheon fucking rang the closing bell at the NYSE today.

    I didn't realize Raytheon was synonymous with the US Government. Are they some deep state puppeteers behind the scenes or something? Is there something we don't know about?

    Profiteering off death and destruction throughout the world under guise of spreading freedom and democracy while we prop up dictators and authoritarians. 

    How exactly are we profiting off of the war that Russia is waging on Ukraine right now? Last I checked we are spending billions on aid and military assistance with no "repayment plan". 

    I don't disagree that the US is all kinds of opportunistic and does some of the things you talk about, but I just don't see it here. If anything we've stepped up in a way I wouldn't have thought possible, with a unified senate and executive. Do you think our opportunity is to fight a direct proxy war through Ukraine instead of a proxy vs proxy war somewhere else? Do you think the US smells blood in the water and is just using Ukraine to weaken Russia before we finish them off? 

    There is no logical profit motive here for us helping Ukraine or the rest of NATO. The motive is stability and peace (at least between superpowers).

    It’s not worthless at all, it’s extremely valuable especially if you are mediocre.  Elite private universities are more sorting mechanisms for the right kind of people than they are places to get an education.  Getting sorted into the “type of person who gets into an Ivy” pile is a massive head start over the people who don’t get sorted into that pile.  

    I don't agree, but that's fine too. I think there is some benefit for people who want to get into STEM fields, because there is no other way to get the practical experience necessary without university funding labs and classes. 

    There's a lot of successful well integrated, contributing to society types that never went to school or went to a whatever school. In fact I just read an article in some business journal about women from Texas State and their business school being among the highest average paid from any business school in the country. 

    Ill take a clever and productive person from whatever background over some asshole from an ivy or top bschool all day every day. I happen to be in a position to be making those kinds of decisions too.

    Successful admission into the very elite schools is the most important part of your entire educational career.  What you do once you are there, short of spectacular implosion, is entirely perfunctory.  You’ve shown you are the type of person who gets into an elite school and that’s really about 90 percent of the benefit of matriculating there. 

    Which is why college is stupid and school in general is a big circle jerk that is completely worthless.
