I had lasik a few years ago and immediately went from banging 9s to banging 6s. Worst decision ever.75 points

And that’s a first. Which for a man my age, is kind of extraordinary. Those of you who served in combat have undoubtedly seen it many times. I haven’t. Driving home along 360. Some guy decided it would be a good idea to cross the highway. It wasn’t. Car ahead of me hits him. Anytime a shoe flies off, it’s bad. This was no different. I suggest someone check his pulse. He doesn’t have one. Someone has the presence of mind to start chest compressions. That actually works, from the standpoint that it started the blood flowing as evidenced by the growing pool of blood from the back of his head. I didn’t do shit to help. You think you’d be a superhero in that situation. I certainly wasn’t. I stood there fairly slack-jawed. Then I went to Maudie’s and had a couple margaritas. I’m not feeling particularly great right now.65 points

I'm not going to be doing a username change. I appreciate the community feedback and concern. I know that I'm an alcoholic. This isn't some shit that needs an intervention. I know much more about my personal* condition than any of you do and I am very aware of it and have been for years now. I wish that it was easier to quit drinking - I would like for it to not be a part of my life any longer. It's extremely difficult and it (unfortunately) takes time. I've done AA. I've been to rehab multiple times. I've been arrested twice as many times. There are ways in which I'm wired that are not conducive to success and I fight against that shit every day of my life. I made an ass out of myself and put some stupid shit on the table and when I attempted to make good on it you all as a whole communicated that it wasn't particularly important and that you'd like if I was less of an annoying drunken fuck as often as I have been since I started posting here over 6 years ago. I hear that feedback. I feel my own feedback when I drink whether it's my mind, body or spirit and it only gets worse. I'm painfully aware of all of this. I love this community and I seriously appreciate that y'all care and I apologize for whenever I'm undeservedly a dick towards any of you - because all it is is a manifestation of my own character flaws. Well - most of the time - some of the time y'all post really retarded shit. I try and work on being a better person every day and this is an opportunity for me to take it a bit more seriously.

He bet his life savings on paper straws. Trump may destroy his business. After 50 years toiling in the country’s paper mills, the 75-year-old plunked his life savings into creating a “24 hours strong” straw that he manufactures in Woodstock, Illinois, and sells to more than 1,000 restaurants, bars, coffee shops and casinos. But now, two years in, Spinelli says the party is over. President Donald Trump’s executive order last month calling to “end the use of paper straws” dealt a swift, decisive blow to his business, Boss Straw. Orders have stalled, even though the action only stopped purchases of paper straws by the federal government. Instead of selling $800,000 worth of straws this year, Spinelli fears it’ll be one-tenth of that. “Our distributors are saying, ‘Everyone’s going back to plastic now because of the president,’” he said. “The president I voted for, the man who says ‘Let’s make America great again, let’s help small businesses grow,’ that man is going to put me out of business.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/bet-life-savings-paper-straws-161301480.html48 points

Dear Every Motherfucker that said, "I voted for Trump because I think he'll be better for the economy*," Fuck you. I really don't give two shits about your politics**. I give a lot of shits about my got-damn money that I've busted my grey slacks wearing ass for, and this motherfucker IS NOT better for the fucking economy. He's better for his own pockets, which he has always fattened by fucking suckers like you who "think" he's a business man. He's a fucking taker. *I know what you really meant, "I don't want you to think I voted for all that racist rhetoric that I voted for, because the economy was already kicking ass. **I care about policies, not politics. Fuck your power struggle. In closing, I'm going to be just fine. I've scavenged through trash cans for meals many more times than you have, and I have the fucking receipts. Now I have enough to make it through this storm. When the Leopards are done eating, I'm going to collect whatever you leave behind because you won't be accountable for your own responsibilities and you'll quit. Great. Get fucked. Make America Great Again. Sincerely, The Suspicious Man in Grey Slacks.47 points

I want to thank Coach Terry for pouring his heart and soul into this program. He was forced into a tough situation and did a damn good job. I wish him the very best.44 points

Some folks are just cunts. RT was a key reason for the emergence of Texas basketball onto the national stage under Barnes. Kevin Durant came to Austin because of him. He stepped down from a HC position to become an assistant under Beard in a move to return Texas to the level of expectation he helped create. He stepped in and took over during some of the worst days of the program and kept things together to deliver one of the best seasons in program history. Rodney Terry gave more sweat, blood, and tears to the University of Texas Men's Basketball program than any of us ever could. Any comments to him other than "thank you" are spoken by a cunt.44 points

Just as a reminder, these dipshits were around during Trump's first presidency, which included Trump redrawing lines on a hurricane map, Trump saying windmills cause cancer, Trump saying that global warming was a Chinese conspiracy, Trump saying that we should rake forests, and, of course, the daily barrage on common sense while a global pandemic was killing thousands of Americans per day. They don't get to pretend that this is a surprise. They don't get to pretend they didn't have the data. They just didn't think they'd be personally affected.41 points

(Fuck, fuckity fuck - was almost done, when the editor crashed. Had to redo the whole thing ... so be sure to read the damn thing twice!) All, 247/Tom Loy published an update on the recruitment of every prospect in the new Top 247. (Yep, all 247 of them ... ) This list may be an interesting reference for a point in time, to revisit. I've divvied the list up into the following sections: - Texas is the favorite - Texas specifically called out - Texas is a contender - The full list (spoilered, at the end) Have fun. (Also - this comment cracked me up - "#8. LB Xavier Griffin (USC commit): Everyone, myself included, felt as though this would be the typical early USC commit from Georgia who ends up elsewhere. " Lulz.) Texas is the favorite Texas specifically called out ("Don't sleep on ... ") Texas is a contender The full list Football recruiting intel on each 2026 Top247 prospect: What we're hearing on every player in updated rankings Here's the latest college football recruiting intel on every player ranked in Wednesday's 2026 Top247 update.

I'm going to do my best to answer this question in good faith, @Spankytoes. It seems like you're okay with the war in Ukraine degrading the Russian military, you just think it's silly for the US to spend money on someone else's problems when we've got things to fix here at home. Additionally, cutting US funding might spur the EU into fully funding Ukraine's defense, meaning that we have our cake and get to eat it, too. Ultimately, though, even if it doesn't work out that way, the worst thing that happens is that Europeans get pissy about having to pay what you see as their own bills. Is this synthesis correct? It seems like you're operating under a few misapprehensions. First, your use of "empathetic enough" seems to imply that you think we're giving Ukraine support because we're trying to be the good guys, and protecting the weak is what the good guys do. It is what good guys do, and that's a great PR benefit, but if that was actually what we did, we'd be intervening in every humanitarian crisis worldwide. We don't. The US isn't heavily involved in conflicts in Myanmar or Sudan, for example, even though there's a ton of similar horrible shit going on. We do a bit, but it's nothing compared to our support of Ukraine. Why not? Because helping there would cost money, many Americans probably can't locate Myanmar on a map, and most importantly, we don't really give as much of a fuck. Sure, we can broker a talk or two and send some strongly worded letters, but we're not handing over F-16s. So why the interest in helping Ukraine? Well, there's the obvious: it fucks over Russia, which frequently openly opposes US interests. They look immensely smaller on the world stage than they did before the start of this conflict. Other countries aren't as interested in their military tech, and they're less willing to pay heed to Russian interests. There are myriad reasons why this conflict is bad for Russia, and the more trouble they have with Ukraine, the less likely they are to do horrible shit like it in the future and/or cause other problems for us because they're busy spending their entire GDP there. You seem okay with this, but think it would just be better if the EU got off its collective ass and took charge of its own security, and all that could happen on their dime. This leads to your second misapprehension, and it's a biggie: you seem to think events on the world stage like this happen in a vacuum. The United States didn't spring into being as the sole world superpower. We got there because we could outspend everyone else. We're the fucking Joneses. A single carrier strike group can take on entire countries' militaries. We have 11 of them. They are expensive as fuck. You think we need all those just to patrol our coastal waters? We have them so we can project power when and where we decide, and we don't really care what anyone has to say about it. This is true not just militarily, but economically and culturally. We are the world's reserve currency. We make the TV and the movies that people watch. McDonald's is ubiquitous. What the US wants, it generally gets, and if another country doesn't like it, too bad. They can go drink a Coke and be sad on Facebook about it. Being seen as the world police is, for the most part, great for the United States. Countries give a shit what we do and say. They're polite to us. We get the friends and family discount. We can pull together coalitions to do, well, pretty much whatever we decide to do, even if they think it's a dumb idea. This is good for the US, and It makes us even richer - furthering our advantage - and it makes us more secure. Pulling back from the world stage lowers our importance to everyone else. And if you think that this one incident can't directly impact us, European stocks closed at a record high today. Why is money moving to the EU? Because people are investing in Dassault, and not in Lockheed. And the US stepping back from something that the EU - one of our biggest customers - thinks is important means that they'll just need to go make their own shit. We don't actually want them to. We want them to buy our shit and talk like us and think like us. It means we can keep getting our way. Given all that, why in the actual fuck would you want to lessen our involvement in world affairs? To save some pocket change that is mostly going back into our own economy? When we do things like support Ukraine, we're not wasting money - we're making smart investments.39 points

I don't completely understand the poo pooing of this hire. Maybe expectations were too high regarding who Texas was going to be able to bring in? Sometimes there's a candidate that's such a perfect fit that there's no question they're the one. Chris Beard was that kind of hire. Folks like Roy Williams at North Carolina, Bill Self at Kansas, Calipari at Kentucky, Pitino at Louisville. But usually there are flaws with hires. How many people considered great basketball coaches were can't misses when they were hired? Hurley certainly wasn't. Oates wasn't (is he considered a "great" coach at this point without a ring? Dunno). Scheyer at Duke was a big risk. Indiana can't get their coaching hire right since Knight left decades ago. Look at UT's history. Abe Lemons wasn't a can't miss. Bob Wetlich was an assistant under Knight. Tom Penders was hired for a fun style coming from Rhode Island. Rick Barnes had some minor success at Providence and Clemson, but had already earned a reputation as not being able to win in the tournament - a rep he still enjoys today. Smart had a spectacular single season at VCU. Beard was as close to a sure thing as we've ever hired, but he's a UT grad in special circumstances. That's akin to UNC being able to hire Roy Williams from Kansas. Rodney Terry became the head coach because of circumstances more than career metrics. I'd argue Sean Miller has a better coaching resume than any head coach ever hired at Texas other than maybe Chris Beard, due to Beard having the national championship appearance. But in terms of numbers of Sweet 16s before coming to Texas, we've never had anyone of this caliber. I'm genuinely excited about this hire. I already know I'm going to be frustrated by his defense, because defense is more important to me than it is Miller, but oh well. He's going to run an explosive and exciting offense. He knows how to get people open for their shots. He has a vision for what he wants his basketball team to look like and he'll recruit to that vision. I've seen too many coaches get enamored with the talent they can bring to Austin rather than recruiting the talent that fits the scheme they're going to employ. That won't be Miller's issue. Miller has shown he's a very good coach. We'll see what he can do at 56. But I feel like he's hungry and wants a chance to compete at the highest level, and he didn't feel like he was going to get that chance at Xavier. And if he doesn't work out we'll move on and go get someone else. By then I imagine the college athletics landscape will have made some seismic shifts, so who knows what college basketball looks like at that point. But in the meantime I feel like it's an outstanding hire. It's not perfect, but very few hires are. If he has some early success with the exciting style of offense he runs and the level of financial support Texas basketball receives, I don't see any reason we can't return to the Texas basketball heydays of TJ Ford/Durant/Augustin/et al.. BTW, saying Texas basketball is a top 15 NIL school is hilarious to me. We have some very deep pockets who are emotionally connected to the success of the basketball program. It's not Phil Knight level of support for Oregon football, but it's very deep. And it's basketball specific.37 points

When Democrats try to run on soundbites and emotion, they get pushed about their policy goals. Kamala tried campaigning on vibes for a while, and then the entire media ecosystem was all "What's Kamala's plan for x, y, and z, over and over and over again while completely ignoring Trump's utter lack of a plan. And the Republicans, of course, were even lying about having concepts of a plan. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU COMPETE WHEN YOU ARE HELD TO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STANDARDS?36 points

From what I've seen here and some talk I've heard, the list is: 1) When he signed on, Schloss was promised some facilities improvements, not just to the ballpark, but also practice facilities and such. Those were slow played after the Jimbo firing. 2) After their success in 2023, Schloss asked for more money for his assistant coaches. He was turned down, because Jimbo. 3) As part of the post Jimbo austerity program, some of the baseball support staff were let go without letting Schloss know until after it was done. When he protested, he was told that it was just that way and he'd better get used to it. 4) Alberts heard that Schloss was dissatisfied with the above developments and might consider looking elsewhere, so he called Schloss into his office and basically told him that if he was unhappy at A&M, he should look elsewhere. He invited Schloss to leave. In short, A&M Aggied it up as only they can. Why would anyone want to stay and be part of that kind of unprofessional cluster fuck?34 points
