  1. I'm definitely music first and lyrics second. I'm sure there's been some studies done on why people's brains react differently. Personally, musicianship is the most important aspect for me. The artist/band HAS to be great live. Any time a new band comes on my radar, I immediately go watch live videos on YouTube. If they pass that test, then I'll dig deeper into their catalog.
  2. He used to post high engagement numbers (that no doubt had been lifted due to spambots) to "prove" how much activity there is on X. Hasn't done that in a while though. So now he needs to find a way to game the system again to try and bring in advertisers, and the users of this app lose yet again. X is a dead man walking. If he doesn't sell it soon the party is over. Just a matter of when.
  3. I don't know. But if they have targeted guys like Quinyon Mitchell, Brian Thomas, or even Byron Murphy, it won't take a lot to move up 4-5 spots to get them. Also curious what their plans are for Dameon Pierce.
  4. I feel like playing with Stroud and Houston's offense inflated Schultz's contract value, but whatever. He's a solid vet and if CJ vouched for him we should all be good with it. Also get the sense that Texans might trade up in this draft. Caserio and Ryans were super aggressive last year, I think they might move into the teens to get who they want this year.
  5. The perfect tweet doesn't exi- Also this is an example of what used to make Twitter great. Non-blue check makes a simple and funny joke and it organically goes viral. And since he's not a blue check the replies are genuine and not spammed by bots. Again, fuck you, Elon.
  6. I know it's just a 40 time, but it makes me really happy to see X get his flowers nationally right now. Dude was electric as a true freshman and was the focal point for opposing DCs right away. Had a great career here but still lots of "what ifs" due to high expectations. Hope he gets drafted by the right team and tears up the NFL.
  7. Back to calling it Twitter. X is owned by Worthy now.
  8. Definitely have other needs but Stroud throwing to Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and AD Mitchell...
  9. Add in his 5 TDs in 5 college football playoff games over 3 years(and his TD vs. Bama in regular season) and I'm not sure there's a more impressive resume in this years WR draft. Prime time player.
  10. Ok, time for the Texans to consider AD Mitchell with the 23rd pick.
  11. I don't know how NFL teams don't seriously ding him with mental evaluations. Who wants to bother taking a player who offers this shit up?
  12. Yep, deeply insecure men who desperately want to cosplay as alphas have latched on to the teats of a POTUS and techlord that validate their feelings.
  13. What a world we currently live in that one of the richest and most powerful people in the world is deep down just a pathetic loser.
  14. Very cool of Anthony Kim and LIV to gaslight golf fans. AK had been given legendary status that wasn't even deserved ever since he left the game. And nothing screams exhibition golf more than signing a guy to a limited tour that hasn't played competitively in what, 12 years?
  15. We'll see, but for me it's had the opposite effect so far. I'm watching less golf but playing a lot more. The sport itself is still amazing. Now people have more time to focus on their play instead of someone else's.
  16. Salute to Terry and the players for pistol whipping these bitches in Lubbock.
  17. There's a Wendy's between my old high school and my parent's house that they've been in for 45 years. I went there so much growing up. It was a greenhouse style Wendy's. I remember the taco bar, people dining in all the time. I'd get two junior bacon cheeseburgers and a biggie fries for $3.22. It was fucking delicious, well run, and always busy. The Wendy's is still there. They updated it to the modern look about 10 years ago. It is a fucking wasteland now. Never seen more than 1-2 cars in line at anytime and the parking lot is empty. After not ordering from there in years, I got a Spicy Chicken sandwich meal there about 6 months ago. It was like $13 bucks. I couldn't believe it.
  18. Most football players will take 365 days of mid-August in Houston over cold weather cities.
  19. Yeah, but we have to deal with Abbot. Also maroon must add 10 pounds. Elko only wears black, white or Ole Miss blue Aggie gear.
  20. This account has over 400k followers. Is involved in tech and AI. And thought this video was real. Check out the quote tweets. A bunch of Elon bootlickers who think the video is real as well. Either they're all bots or just the stupidest people alive.
  21. Considering all factors (CJ, Demeco, cap space, city of Houston, weather) the Texans might be the #1 destination for free agents in 2024. The vibes are at an all-time high. Great position to be in, and hopefully Caserio/DeMeco are patient and doing the proper due diligence to max out this roster with offseason signings and NFL draft.
  22. I still scroll through the "For You" feed. Even though it's incredibly frustrating I still want to see what the algorithm is suggesting. The conservative/right wing stuff is much different now. I haven't see a Ben Shapiro or Daily Wire or Fox News tweet in ages. It's all culture war/Tesla/AI-focused accounts. Absolutely zero tweets from leftist type accounts show up. I also have a separate account focused more on music/bands that I rarely use. But I get 2-3 phone notifications a day with tweets focused on Taylor Swift (even though I don't follow or ever post about her). I'm guessing Elon is just trying to find ways to get more traffic from younger people. I'm on Surly WAY more these days and it's probably a direct effect from how shitty Twitter has become under Elon. Paying people for high engagement is the biggest dumbfuckery move that Musk made. Twitter is overrun with scammers. His version of "free speech" is paying him monthly to boost engagement and push you to the top of all replies. All non-blue checks are thrown by the wayside. He truly is the biggest dipshit asshole. When I am king he will be first against the wall.
