    Translation: "College is getting real expensive, we need mo' money, Lege isn't giving us as much, so write a huge check asap."

    Someone posted somewhere that Ohio State spends ~$15M on its "DEI" bureaucracy. Maybe I am wrong, but I never thought most colleges and universities had significant problems with diversity, equity, or inclusion. Did I miss a crisis I should be outraged about?

    Pretty sure you could take that word salad for any university at any time and replace the germane buzzwords and get a similar gobbledygook.

    Wonder if the Germans also built the Fring Tunnel. 

    I mean, I can't see Gus using local talent to construct something underneath a city street.

     

     

    That's eating me ... he goes to painstaking efforts to build a big hole in a relatively isolated area but somehow has a tunnel in the middle of a city neighborhood? They go to so much detail about some things, this seems an odd gloss-over.

    I too am in the "Team Howard" camp. He seems like a decent guy and has never acted inappropriately toward Jimmy or Kim. He a little douche-y but probably no more than every attorney successful on this board. Despite all of Jimmy's silliness, he's generally polite and cordial to him. Not to go psycho-analyze, but Jimmy seems to always blame someone else for his mistakes, and Howard carries all of his Chuck guilt.

    That makes sense, as well.  And that kind of pre-planning for contingencies like that would certainly be very Gus.

    Agreed. Both seem plausible. I was just trying to glean whether they were hired by Gus or he gave them a ton of money to be his front house ... would have to be an awful lot of money to "hey, pretend a cartel lieutenant lives here just in case someone wants to kill him." But to your point, the obvious and intentional banter and concern about the HOA makes me lean toward they're more real than hired actors, but who knows ... I was trying to contemplate how Gus got that tunnel built ...

    The way the biking couple stayed in their act (was it an act?) throughout their time on screen was great.

    I mean ... I still just completely flummoxed. But yes, particularly how they do not react to the machine gun man in the kitchen or moreover when Gus walks in. Are they his actual neighbors who he pays to be a front house? I thought they would be his undercover, neighborhood spies, but they seem to just be normal neighbors, if Nextdoor on Blast!

    Does Gus have a housekeeper? If not, dude is definitely gay.

    I thought it was without question his executed partner was his partner and partner and his death drives his rage.

    I'm completely flummoxed by the biking couple and Gus' house-compound.

    I'm just saying any loose dog is a problem. 

    If they're loose, they probably have a shitty owner and you can't rely on the dog being safe.

    I get the sense that the only loose dog in this scenario Mrs. @CoTex. I also feel like enough Shaggsters have tapped that ass so they can provide some counseling and comfort to answer "How do I deal with my wife being a frat house whore and sold out to Austin (bleck) pimps)?

    This is an odd response. I’m not sure what your point is but what ever you are trying to say…please just stay out of my neighborhood.  Thanks.

    I think we ended up at the same spot ... really creepy response to the point of requesting verification at the next event with women or children present.

    What was there in that scene that you are surprised at?

    The story was setup as the usual trope ... black guy has some excuse for whatever he did wrong because of some white guy ... but then they did the big 180 and revealed the tormentor was African American (shout out to East Texas and "High Yella") ... and then Haywood played the "But Whitey" Card for all his problems and when Kareem told him the team voted ... he freaked out ... not because he realized he fucked up but because he realized the couldn't play The Race Card and blame it for all his problems. He finally came to terms with the only person responsible for his problems was him - an African American - and not some 18th Century cracker.

    What’s creepy, and sexist I might add, is that your mind automatically jumped to rape and women.

    It’s like you’ve never needed some manual labor and didn’t want to pay for it.

    You keep telling yourself that Dahmer. Whatever gets you to sunrise without taking the life of a co-ed.

    I'd still bet on there being more kidnappings among middle-class neighborhoods than homeless camps - it's easy as fuck to lure people into situations where you can get control over them (whether you knock them out with some chemical or force them with a weapon) - they tend to let their guard down when they see you are not homeless and seem to have your shit together.

    I'm not sure what is creepier ... I guess at the end of the day your reflexive, creepy whataboutism is quite a bite more creepy that your obviously uncomfortably thought out plan to kidnap and rape a woman.

    Come on man.  Just take the length on every single D, and wish death upon every R, and you'll have 10-20k rep points in a few months.  Make sure you mix in a "I wish Joe didn't get two full scoops, mix in a single" every now and then so you can talk about how hard you are on the current admin and definitely not just another D.  I used to be a R for a long time, then I got smart, is another you'll have to throw in every 5 or 10 pages.

    Just seig heil to the Russia hoax and wear your Wal-Mart mask when you run alone in the desert and you'll be fine.

  12. Does it matter if I argue Hunter Biden or laptops aren't real or both? Which gets more "biggest threat to democracy" points? Is there a realtor with a flagpole I need to blame for taking down 'murica?

    You think bots switch sides? Why do you think that this sudden shift in followers isn’t part of the same game plan?

    Is this the part where you tell us about stolen elections?

  14. Given the gnashing of teeth, I can seem the legacy twitter folks seeking to unleash chaos before the deal closes. Petty but not surprising. Capt. Obvious, but I think no one except bad actors would oppose getting the bots executed.

    Speaking of disinformation, I came across this fascinating story about how people use social media to fan it. I definitely came across my fair share of fake "experts" but this seems to take it up a notch by the use of classic Instagram influencer. In fairness, no idea who is the author, so take it with a grain of salt I suppose.
