  1. I think people are figuring out what some have known for a while that there are some very rich and powerful people who want to fundamentally change UT Austin. The issue of how they handled the protests is just in keeping with the tenor and tone they desire to achieve. I’ve actually heard someone on that list say that conservatism is the only thing they admire about A&M.
  2. Yes, so the Orange Jesus will take the obvious Christian Nationalist position that he will criminalize it again.
  3. This is bullshit false equivalency that I hear a lot. They both don’t suck. One is normal, a decent person, old, but someone who some might disagree with politically. The other is a terrible human being, a liar, and cares about nothing other than himself. You are dead on here.
  4. I agree with the need for a big man. My hope was that we would have lucked into one who had some nastiness/strength to him. Someone who is not afraid to go in there and push people around. I’m not sure who that would have been though.
  5. Yeah, I don’t like hearing that. Fucking RT.
  6. You don’t think a POS like Trump pandering to evangelicals is a bigger political lie? I have just come to the point of accepting that a large percentage of this country is just fucking stupid and no amount of education can overcome them being guided by their worst base instincts. This statement reminds me of the Trump supporter who said something to the effect of he had never met a democrat who had not attended college and by his logic if you didn’t like Trump it was because you were indoctrinated in college. I still maintain that racism and bigotry is a big factor with a large percentage of people who say they “hate” the Democrats.
  7. Hot Wheels has his back. Willing to bet he was exerting pressure to to do what happened yesterday.
  8. I’m cool with him not enforcing weed laws.
  9. I’m going with A&M. It would be pretty much on brand for them to encourage a press conference with them beating us in a head to head.
  10. It’s my home office. Thanks for the suggestions!
  11. I’m trying to settle on a sound bar for a secondary tv that I just want to sound better than the tv speakers. Not wanting to spend a lot because I have a nice set up on the main tv. I know they are crap especially in the price range I’m looking at but can’t arrive on a general consensus as to what is a decent basic unit.
  12. I really enjoyed it although at times it was hard to look at which I guess it should be. I disagree with some of the comments above about not really knowing much about the sides. We know that the President was in his third term, he turned the military on its citizens, and his rhetoric in the beginning where he builds up to something being the “greatest military victory of all time” sounded familiar as well and conveyed a President who was lying to his people. If you contrast his dialogue with what unfolds, it is a fair assumption he is not telling the truth. The brutality at the end is certainly analogous to the fates of brutal dictators mentioned earlier in the film. The other side is more ambiguous. Clearly, all guys in uniform were not created equal and some of the other war scenes involved people in civilian clothes. It did leave some things for the viewer to fill in the blanks but not in an unfulfilling way like say a series that has an ambiguous ending. Movie was really well done and the scary part is that it looked at the idea of a civil war in a way that was absolutely believable. Definitely a thought provoking way to spend a couple of hours.
  13. I say it to people all the time. They go home and google it and realize I was insulting them.
