San Antonio Spurs 2021-22 Season Thread - Let's get this play-in shitshiw rolling
These announcers are a beating. Every Pelican player is the NBA mvp and a rags to riches, playing on some blacktop playground for $3.50 a game prior to being discovered by the savy scouts from New Orleans. And they just cannot leave more than 0.5 seconds of airtime without their inane babbling.

Middle schoolers’ prank turns deadly
Not sure there is really anything "innocent" about throwing feces on a house. So there should have been some type of punishment to fit the crime (like cleaning the dudes toilets weekly for a year or pumping septic tanks for a couple of weekends). It certainly wasn't vigilante justice. Now we have a dead kid, a torn up family, traumatized friends and another family that will see their husband/father locked away for a significant number of years.

The Cloak Room is a terrible place.
The maturity of discourse here is fantastic. No wonder the modern political parties look like they do. And this is mostly a collection of flagship university graduates.

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Ahh, the ol’ snarky correlation vs causation crowd with clever memes. Here’s another one… You’re a fool if you don’t think the fed and our centralized government doesn’t have a frickin huge role in the current inflation cycle. Tell me you don’t know monetary policy and it’s role in inflation with “clever” memes.

- Sacramento and Dallas Saturday night mass shootings
It’s a little disingenuous to start a thread on these “mass” shootings while you tip toe around the constant and inherent singular slaying of people (mostly inner city) at the barrel of a gun every damn day across the U.S. And the additive singular numbers are much higher than these two incidents. I guess there wasn’t some scary looking gun involved in the last two shootings because I haven’t seen the ban “assault weapons” crowd out yet. Gun violence absolutely needs to be addressed but mass shootings and “assault weapons” are scary window dressings that distract from the endemic gun and other deadly weapon problems in this country.- 2022 National Championship - UNC vs. Kansas

I feel like I’m watching 2A JV ball. And that should do it.- Texas @ OU in Arlington Weekend Thread
But too many watching first ball strikes. Getting behind instantly. They did this all last year. I understand not swinging if a first strike is not in your ideal hitting zone but these are fastballs in the middle.- Texas @ OU in Arlington Weekend Thread

Well, that avoided complete disaster.- Elite private schools and college admissions
And I don't think you can quantify that those elite universities prepare these kids better than your state Tier 1 universities aside from connections upon graduation and riding a hundred year old reputation into grad schools and snobbery into the hiring process because a name looks good on paper. I completely agree that a liberal or classical education is important to build upon the STEM fields but if you are starting this after high school graduation, you are starting too late. It can be done in college but most kids are going into school already completing their "liberal arts" portion of their education through AP and community college dual credit courses. The STEM fields then become more polarized in higher education because the students have schedules filled with 12 hours of science/engineering/math per semester and are done in 3 years. AND the public high schools in Texas now do a piss poor job of starting the liberal (how to think) part of a student's education.- Elite private schools and college admissions
More importantly is the question of how well the private school is preparing your student/child for higher education and the real world? Most likely they will get into a very reputable school with a good high school CV. It's no longer a ticket punch into ivy and maybe that's a blessing in the end. Besides STEM ivy type schools, the liberal arts education at the elite universities is now wack and not in line with what students need to become successful in everyday life. We can hope public education it is at least advancing the students in public school who don't have the means to go to private school or augment their public high school education. And they have the tools to succeed once they get there but I seriously have my doubts since the pandemic started.- Eric Church seems like a dickhole....
