  1. That’s the nature of the feudal pyramid, where a small elite is at the top -- whether they be aristocrats or oligarchs (as we have in the US, for now) -- acting as leeches on society and above almost all accountability from us peasants. It’s only the king sitting atop his throne who can do shit about it when there are so few checks and balances on authority. I know you’re hyperaware of this, and so please don't take this as me being combative. It’s just a wider truth spoken to the board in general.
  2. This thread, and just about every other one in the Daily Texan, is political. The mods just pick and choose which they tolerate. I once got into it with Immamac on posting a foreign relations/international news thread here. He justified its relocation to the Cloak Room based on the broadest definition possible for politics: relating to the government or the public affairs of a country (you could substitute in any level of jurisdiction, e.g., city, county, state, etc., though). The point being, any thread that discusses local policies is inherently political in nature, but we (the Surly collective) or they (the mods) arbitrarily choose what’s deemed political or news, based on shifting rules or definitions that have confounded everyone. It, of course, doesn’t help that people’s own implicit political biases at the national level can significantly influence stances at the local level, often with a subtle nod or wink, while pretending not to be "political."
  3. It's not really a "war" if the other side doesn't fight back. And since we "attacked" first, without provocation in most instances, I don't blame them. Anyone with a lick of sense shouldn't be surprised at all by this. FAFO
  4. With his ties, I could certainly see how that’d help them recruit out-of-state athletes from Texas.
  5. Isn't that the whole point of royal dynasties though? Be a parasite on society because gawd bestowed onto you some divine status gained solely through birth.

  7. Were those guys speaking Russian? Of course, I hardly know any Russian except for what I've learned in this thread, but the way they were speaking didn't seem to have the right "cadence" for lack of a better word. Not that it really matters, because it's a multiethnic/multilingual country, but I'm wonder if they were foreign workers. Also:
  8. ASSHAMMER indeed. Oh, that's not what it's called? Well, it should be.
  9. If you go down that list, it's interesting that so many are clustered in South/Southeast Asia (India, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia), as well as Australia. I wonder if that's related to where they are, or just where folks are digging.

  13. Wolfpack beats Ga Tech.
  14. They look like Permian out there. Oh, and Fuck Mojo.
  15. NC State 47 Ga Tech 30 with four minutes left.
  16. I think the Yellow Jackets are getting exterminated tonight.
  17. Interception. Tech has the ball on K State's 24.
  18. 36-20 Tech off a scoop and score.
  19. Tech up 19-7 @ K State now.
  20. I was just pointing out @immamac behaving like a little bitch and "losing the plot" as he's wont to say. He was so concerned about the fucking football board meeting his apparent post-count quota in the midst of a football game that he felt it necessary to admonish and lecture the community because we weren't giving him enough clicks, I guess.
  21. So, I don't have a screenshot, but they showed an angle where there were essentially two pylons. One was the normal, "official" one that we're all familiar with. The other one was offset a little bit along the back side of the goal line, which ended up being the excuse that they used for that horrible fucking call.
