    Is this true? Because it sounds like rhetoric. No doubt, there are propagandists masquerading as journalists, but, absent proof, I would think there are upstanding souls fighting the good fight. Any reason I should believe you?

    No. There is no reason. He's thinking in platitudes. It's lazy.

    We will need smart people in the future. Where are they going to come from if smart people do not have kids?

    My son (26) talks about this. Says he feels bad bringing a kid into a fucked up world. My reply was well he has a blue passport and that alone is a leg up.

    But it is his call and I will support either way. As for me? I loved being a dad to two kick ass kids who are both devoted to finding solutions.


    Won't need smart people in the future if there are no people.

    Purely based on limited observation, it seems like the teams that coax a player into the portal are usually the ones that win out since they have already done a lot of the legwork making their pitch through intermediaries.  Big example that come to mind is Drew Sanders with Arkansas.

    Curious if anyone feels differently.


    OU = Big Red Motors
    Texas = Lambo
    Advantage: A&M

  4. Kevin Russell from Shinyribs had this to say about Kristi:  "I know why I keep seeing Kristy Noem in my feeds. The constancy of this proves the success of the strategy of saturation + polarizing fact. It's the bourgeoisie shocking the bourgeoisie. Bougie on bougie violence. It's not that dogs don't suffer all manner of torture and abuse on a daily basis. It's just that she is her and she is putting it in our faces, daring us or at worst threatening. She is suggesting she is willing to kill anything that doesn't align with her life."

    I'm single in a small town and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. All the good women are taken and what's left is just trash that gets passed around. 
    My father keeps telling me all kinds of reasons why Asian women are better and that I need to branch out to the nearest big city to date some.
     He meant well, so I didn't tell him I've slept with a couple in the past and the noises they make in bed sounds like someone is killing a cat. 
    I mean, bad enough that doggy became my preferred position so I could stick my fingers in my ears. Still, he's probably right...

    This. The GQP is going full evil overlord. And instead of facing electoral consequences, it is rewarded.

    We are an evil, shit state, dominated by evil shit people. Sure, there are plenty of good Texans. But as long as the GQP has us locked up at 50%+1 (which will continue for at least another generation, likely longer as political migration shakes out), we don’t matter. At all. There is zero impulse to govern Texas for all Texans. The only thing that matters isn’t even rewarding their side, it’s hurting and punishing the other side. The only metric of success is “destruction and cruelty inflicted.” And this GQP, supported by a majority of Texans, is wildly successful.

     


    You keep talking about the evil GQP, but the statement that I took issue with was "This state is getting MORE racist and misogynist, not less."

    I simply don't believe that is much evidence for that assertion.

    The record of the entire legislative session, everything filed by our AG in the last several years, our governor’s sole “leadership” being a constant game of “look how big a dick I can be to brown people,” and the fact that all of them are rewarded for that with electoral victory after victory.
    Being a piece of shit isn’t punished. It’s rewarded.


    If your interpretation of these events is correct, that would seem to prove that the Republican party is getting more racist and misogynistic, not the state of Texas.

    Your insane optimism is delightful. Truly marvelous. But still insane. This state is getting MORE racist and misogynist, not less. And it will continue to get worse. For a long, long time.

    What's your evidence for this opinion?

    Tesla has ten times the market cap of Ford. Why are they making bush league mistakes on extremely limited runs of cars if they're supposed to be worth more than the next five largest automakers combined?


    I have no idea why investors see Tesla as being 10 times as valuable as Ford. Is that Tesla's fault?

    As far as your question, Ford has been in business for 121 years, has sold more than 400 million vehicles, and they're still making "bush league"  mistakes. It would appear that it's hard to make cars.
