  1. Hopefully it goes without saying that if you draw a circle around the idea of the pure value of the actual undergrad education (excluding the prestige of the piece of paper), Stanford is not any better than anywhere else. Educating undergrads is low on the priority of Stanford professors, and most professors at research schools If you do throw the whole picture in, there is no place like Stanford. Grad schools, connections, numbers of sports, home of Olympians, relative success in sports, passable success in the big three, connections, the fucking weather, and connections. The conference realignment is cause for concern, but to me, less so in terms of not having a place to play football then it affecting the plethora of sports and especially having Olympians there.
  2. Stanford is....here... And everyone else is...here....
  3. I've yet to find a decent pub curry in Austin.
  4. Voting for a felon? Voting for someone with dementia? We have that right in a democracy, and we deserve who we vote for. Sympathies and thoughts and prayers to the Bidens and all of us guys (and their families) who have or will get prostate-related scares.
  5. Goddamn we used to be beautiful, man.
  6. Just needs some one-on-one full contact practice to get ready for SECSEC.
  7. The Dick Van Patten family.
  8. Sauer and RFK, Jr. and their fucked-up voices need to be thrown off a cliff.
  9. I take a weekly swim across White Rock Lake in Dallas. I laugh at e. coli. I got pieces of e. coli in my stool.
  10. I gotta give it to him. The man stays busy. So much graft overseas. So little time. Something to be said for those energizing golf breaks.
  11. I guess I'd argue that we are all affected, but they are happy. I think Trump's America is a more relevant thread.
  12. Are we ready to lock this thread down because it doesn't matter how fucked over they get -- it's a cult?
  13. We're post outrage. So was this guy. We need to be angry like this guy, even if he went too far.
  14. MAGA: You can always get what you want. Getting what you need is just gravy.
  15. Should Gov. Murphy be trying to have the largest immigration detention center in NJ? Wouldn't one phase of an orderly immigration process be to house people awaiting citizenship in a reasonable facility, i.e., not Libya?
  16. I'm going to stop the gallows humor in regard to the deportation. Trump let the vileness out. It was always there, but some norms kept it contained. Going to take some generations to put it back in.
  17. Vietnam, Philippines, Loas and Mexico. Gotta be confusing for ICE.
  18. Well, his is nominally Christian, so might have a pet peeve or two with Trump.
  19. I tend to go the distance when it comes to trying to understand the genesis of some of MAGA's concerns. This one is an easy one to label the haters. Fuck all of them.
  20. My Latinate voluptuousness combines with my Gallic laziness and the result is that I'd rather eat and make love with my face than fight.
  21. I heare what you are saying, and it's a good comparison. But to me, Braveheart was never that good to begin with. Gladiator is fuckloads better. Not Spartacus better, because Spartacus has a more timeless cinematic character to it. And the bad guy drowned in soup.
