  1. Well, Imma, honestly for all of its warts surly is what's kept me looking forward to the next year of football year over year. Because if nothing else we can meltdown with the best of em lol. Surly is just about the last community I have from the "old" internet, and goddamnit it's still thriving because of all of your efforts. And y'all put on a hell of a tailgate! It was a blast shotgunning a beer with ya on alumni band weekend and showing off the NIL efforts to alumni friends. But with regard to the "old internet" thing, I'd bet that's why there's less of a young crowd draw. Message boards don't got the rizz they used to, but the message board format is a big part of surly's identity
  2. Lol go to texags to fellate your fascist street fighter of choice. You really think a washout chud little murdering fuck that couldn't even stay in blinndergarden would be too dumb for the marines?
  3. And one step of further division, the top 1% owns 53% of stocks in the country. The gains and growth of the stock market aren't being realized uniformly. Wage earners have been getting fuckin spitroasted
  4. Or perhaps in Texas, that IS the predominant christian experience?
  5. The reporting from Reuters and the paper records from the internal Tesla comms are pretty incredible. Tesla stuck a customer with a $4000 repair bill to fix their corroded power steering system because the customer had the gall to run their car through a car wash. Absolutely ridiculous behavior for the MOST VALUABLE CAR MAKER IN THE WORLD (by market cap)
  6. Boss Hogg is GRU, and fatty gave a ♥️ to his repetition of the great replacement racist theory
  7. Shit in one hand and hope in the other and let me know which one fills up first. I have zero doubt the supreme court will find a way to continually delay trumps court dates.
  8. Tesla is unique in that they knew about the manufacturing defects and issued recalls in other countries, but did not in the US. In the US, they blamed driver error when they knew they were lying about it. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/ For """not defending musk and tesla""" you sure are defending them alot.
  9. Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning also had some great reflections on their growing up inside the fundagelical movement and purity culture. The last one they did, they invited their wives on to share their experiences and the female experience in purity culture as children and young women.
  10. But I have been assured repeatedly that the supreme court isn't trying to help trump.
  11. That ain't purity culture. There's nothing clear and responsible with telling children that all sex is wrong and evil and even thinking about it is a sin. Like stache shared, it can and inevitably does lead to a complex of shame and a complete lack of emotional skills to handle when they get to the big day. It leads to shit like people rushing to get married only so they can finally fuck, and then learning that neither of them have a healthy relationship with sex. I was the best man at one of those weddings, and boy howdy those Hardin-Simmons grads are some weirdly repressed motherfuckers. Ultimately, it's WRONG to teach children that the core of their value and worth is their sexual purity. And that's the essence of purity culture.
  12. Purity culture is regressive as hell and teaches young women to be ashamed of themselves and their bodies, and teaches young men that women are little more than objects of desire that you must protect because they're weak. Its incredible unhealthy for interpersonal development and tends to engender all the weird porn obsession because of the forbidden fruit angle. Stupid shit like "I can't be in a room with a woman on my own because of THE RISK" stems directly from purity culture.
  13. Hey, wasn't trump supposed to save the US steel industry?? Wha happen???
  14. Unsurprising that fattyflatty loves great replacement theory once you dress it up a little
  15. It's THE sect of southern white American protestant Christianity - and currently it's the most powerful, influential, and politically effective sect in the country. Ain't nobody else controlling the levers of government like them.
  16. I think it's more the southern impulse to put on a big ball to make a to-do about a thing they care about. Debutante balls are weird as fuck, but they're still going strong. Cross that culture of weird big gala events with being BIG MAD at the thought of their daughters being sexual, and bingo bango you've got purity balls. You describe it as fucking insane, and as a predominant sect of christianity.
  17. Lolwut my megachurch in San Antonio took people to purity events - they weren't balls, but they handed out promise rings and had everyone sign a thing saying they wouldn't have sex until married. It's absolutely part of the christian evangelical mainstream, despite your wishes that it weren't. It's not a majority of christians, but it's a major plurality of them and theyve got the proverbial microphone
  18. Ah the good ol firehose of falsehoods. Not only did republicans take russian money, they also took their propaganda techniques
  19. Careful, you could upset folks on this board posting data like that
  20. Gotta say, bagofhammers complaining about brain rot is some pretty spicy irony
  21. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change Most of them weren't to our favor because of the aforementioned destabilization, and the soviet's were also playing regime change game too, but bruh. We did some damage, and own some of the mess.
  22. We broke it back in the 70s and 80s with the CIAs zeal for regime change. Chickens are coming home to roost.
  23. There's also an interesting dynamic I've read where since the republicans are out there saying how it's an open border, it's encouraging more people to make the desperate journey. If the gop weren't broadcasting that 24/7 for more than a generation it would very likely reduce the sheer volume of people coming. It's advertising so they can have a boogeyman they can hate
  24. NYT has some more reporting, here's a gift link I found to the article https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/20/us/st-louis-police-crash-bar.html?mwgrp=c-dbar&unlocked_article_code=1.Hk0.1o_H.yCJvofAcAeXU&smid=url-share Relevant and outrageous portion here: After an officer handcuffs Mr. Pence, the bystander recording the interaction asks the officers what crime Mr. Pence is committing. “He’s creating a disturbance, obviously,” the officer says. The bystander then tells the officer not to get any closer. The officer replies, “How about you don’t tell me what to do,” and then calls the bystander a “clown.” When Mr. Morris approaches the scene, he asks why his husband is in handcuffs, the video shows. Mr. Morris eventually walks down an alleyway to cool off, his lawyer said, and several officers follow him. The bystander’s video does not show what happened in the alleyway. After several minutes, Mr. Pence is heard saying in the video that the officers are beating his husband in the alleyway. The video then shows Mr. Morris emerge from the alleyway handcuffed, with his shirt tattered and with two officers behind him. Mr. Morris says in the video that an officer punched the “left side of my eye.” A photo of him taken on Tuesday shows his left eye bruised and swollen
