  1. You never have to apologize for rooting against aggy, blowu, or ND.
  2. Posted on Leopards thread but apropos this thread. Fuck over the US but let's help Argentina. Maybe Trump received a shipment of young girls. https://buenosairesherald.com/economics/us-treasury-announces-full-scale-bailout-to-argentina-bond-purchase-swap-and-credit-line The U.S. Treasury announced on Wednesday it will grant a full-on bailout for Argentina, which includes the purchase of the country’s USD bonds, a stand-by credit line, and a US$20 billion swap with the Central Bank. “The Trump Administration is resolute in our support for allies of the United States, and President Trump has given President Milei a rare endorsement of a foreign official, showing his confidence in his government’s economic plans and the geopolitical strategic importance of the relationship between the United States and Argentina,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on X.
  3. aggy and tech are prime examples of shit institutions incentivizing players to locate to shitholes to play football. OSU collectively needs to start searching for coins in between sofa cushions.
  4. Also we went DOGE and cut funding to everything fucking over US citizens. But let's give $20B to Argentina. The insanity WILL NOT STOP.
  5. They don't have to scrape taxes. Trump is helping to bail them out so that he can REALY REALLY screw over soybean farmers, again. This is funny beyond belief. https://buenosairesherald.com/economics/us-treasury-announces-full-scale-bailout-to-argentina-bond-purchase-swap-and-credit-line The U.S. Treasury announced on Wednesday it will grant a full-on bailout for Argentina, which includes the purchase of the country’s USD bonds, a stand-by credit line, and a US$20 billion swap with the Central Bank. “The Trump Administration is resolute in our support for allies of the United States, and President Trump has given President Milei a rare endorsement of a foreign official, showing his confidence in his government’s economic plans and the geopolitical strategic importance of the relationship between the United States and Argentina,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on X.
  6. I remember commenting on the Cattle Ranching thread in Hobbies that I found it awful funny that subject was in "hobbies". That is certainly one frustrating, money losing "hobby".
  7. This is why I'm finding it real hard to root for them. Just one douche after another. Bryson is the flag bearer for them.
  8. Now my mouth is watering for some beef.
  9. I received my first blow job on a trampoline. She and I had to time the jumps just right. I keed, about the jumping part.
  10. Maybe try for when we are inside the 10. Can't be any fucking worse.
  11. I imagine if someone semi famous ate at a restaurant in Sweetwater, they'd claim that person as a native.
  12. Maybe people are pissed off at higher costs and shittier service. https://www.uclahealth.org/news/release/high-markup-hospitals-are-overwhelmingly-profit-located Hospitals with the widest difference between the cost of their services and what they charge patients and their insurance carriers are mostly for-profit, investor owned and located in large metropolitan areas. They also have significantly worse patient outcomes compared with lower-cost hospitals, new UCLA research finds. These “high-markup hospitals” (HMH), which comprised about 10% of the total the researchers examined, charged up to 17 times the true cost of care. By contrast, markups at other hospitals were an average of three times the cost of care. Higher prices do not translate to higher quality or better care, she said. “In fact, patients at the highest markup hospitals faced greater complications and readmission rates. This raises concerns about fairness, transparency, and accountability in the health care system, particularly in the current era of value-based care.
  13. We did that after a Swoopes led team beat Notre Dame. That was short lived af.
  14. A statue for winning the B12 once? That's an awful low bar to be given a statue. But it is OSU. Maybe that's the highest mountain they'll ever climb.
  15. Agreed. Most who don't live on the coast or hardly ever visit the ocean will never have to worry about getting attached by a shark. But those who regularly go into the ocean have a greater chance. Same with lightning. If you don't ever do anything outside which might catch you in a storm, your chances are greatly diminished. I love to hike the mountains. I like to fish the flats along the coast. I've been caught in storms on hikes in the mountains and on a kayak 2 miles from my car where there was lightning all around me. My lifestyle significantly increases my odds of getting struck by lightning. I think most people who hike know the dangers and know how quickly a storm can pop up in the mountains. Sometimes you cannot avoid it.
  16. I like my lean meat to be meth-, opioid-, and crime- free.
  17. They inadvertently fucked up their own terrorist plans?
  18. Q: What are we eating? A: Special beef. Iced aged for 12 years. I've been saving it for this special occasion when I found it at the bottom.
  19. Who are we kidding? When given a chance, these stupid motherfuckers will again vote for the rapist felon pedo. He fulfills their hatred. That cult's self preservation is hatred.
  20. Is there anyone we want from the team? Seems like those who can are saving themselves for a redshirt year.
  21. They voted because they hate immigrants and trans people. They are getting the ass raping, again, because the dipshit they voted for is in fact a fucking dipshit. Their hatred for brown and gay people overrides their fear of losing their livelihood. Plus last time the dipshit gave farmers welfare, I mean subsidies, for their ass raping. I guess they are expecting another free handout. Oh wait, they are receiving welfare in the big beautiful bill. Welfare is only bad if it's given to other people.
  22. My understanding is that the herds haven't recovered since Covid. As the OP stated, as a nation we'll have to collectively defer consumption to allow the herd to grow in numbers. Soo, that will NEVER happen. Also, we just had a yuge trade win by removing Australia restrictions on US beef to allow our beef to be exported to Australia, a country where they have a HUGE surplus in beef and don't need our beef. I guess next we can try to sell ice to Eskimos.
  23. More soybean news. Highlighted for the lulz. They went through this shit the last time they voted for the rapist, felon, pedophile. And yet they voted for him again. Well, Fuck them. https://wtfdetective.blog/farmers-dire-harvest-china-largest-soybean-buyer/ The fallout is immediate for farmers. Ragland told CNN that prices have dropped 40% since their highs three years ago, while both interest rates and production expenses have surged. “We’re looking at basically losses for the upcoming year if commodity prices don’t improve,” he said. Current futures for September sit near $10.10 per bushel—well below the estimated $11.03 production cost. On Ragland’s farm alone, the math points to $750,000 in losses, forcing him to lean on loans just to stay afloat. “Right now we’re planting a crop that looks like it will be produced at a loss,” he admitted. “By fall, when the soybeans are harvested and ready to sell, we’re gonna need a drastic improvement in our markets or it’s gonna get even tougher for farm families all across this country.” He emphasized that all 500,000 soybean farmers are facing similar budget constraints, with little margin for error. The ripple effects reach far beyond individual farmers. Agriculture contributes $9.5 trillion annually to the U.S. economy—about 18.7% of overall economic output—and supports more than a million jobs. Soybean exports alone are tied to over 231,000 jobs in farming, manufacturing, transportation, and related industries. Ragland warned of how this impacts small-town America: “That trickles down to our rural communities. Our rural communities are a lot of folks across this country. And that impacts small business. That impacts just the whole infrastructure within our communities.” Each $1 billion in agricultural exports sustains nearly 6,000 jobs, and the soybean and corn trade directly supports over 212,000 positions. The economic multiplier means trade disruptions spread through nearly every sector connected to agriculture. The roots of the crisis lie in ongoing U.S.-China trade disputes. American soybeans face a 20% retaliatory tariff, bringing the total duty rate up to 34% compared to competitors. China has responded by pivoting to Brazil, where imports have surged to record levels. In March 2025, Brazil exported 15.7 million tons of soybeans, with three-quarters going to China—the largest monthly shipment ever. In 2024, China sourced 71% of its soybean imports from Brazil, cutting U.S. farmers further out of the market. In an August 19 letter to President Trump, the American Soybean Association warned that “China has contracted with Brazil to meet future months’ needs to avoid purchasing any soybeans from the United States.” Despite being a Trump supporter, Ragland has been outspoken about the urgent need for action. “We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. He stressed that waiting is not an option: “We’re planning a crop that looks like it will be produced at a loss,” he said, underscoring the time-sensitive nature of the issue. The broader farm economy is already under strain. Corn growers report prices down more than 50% since 2022, while production costs have barely budged. This downturn coincides with forecasts for one of the largest U.S. soybean harvests ever—4.3 billion bushels. Without Chinese demand, that surplus could push prices even lower, deepening financial pain across the industry. The scenario recalls the 2018–2020 trade war, when U.S. agriculture lost $26 billion, with soybeans making up $20 billion of those losses.
