  1. No, this wasn't on a track team, just PE and recess (elementary school). Reading Diary of A Wimpy Kid books to my kids, I realized I identified with the protagonist a bit too much at times.
  2. He was my friend, dickhead. The point you easily missed was how things could be misconstrued because it fits an agenda. Just as you tried to conflate something that happened somewhere else with something else. UT's pro-Palestinian protest was a MODEL protest. Unlike some of the others happening elsewhere or other incidents where people were harmed, threatened, and harassed, that is of course, until the republican's goon squad showed up.
  3. I used to chase a few Jewish kids around at my school growing up. I am not proud of it. I was a horrible soccer player/slow as shit in track.
  4. Had I been more clever, I would have made posters of Christian’s being eaten by lions or signs promotion gay sex, because that can’t lead to abortion. But I had shit to do.
  5. This doesn’t seem on topic.

    Today's Texicans would not only surrender the Alamo, they would join Santa Anna

    Bullshit. This is an excellent opportunity to stand up for The University, the First Amendment, and push back against the abuses of the state and further expose the cowardice within our law enforcement and how they serve a political end.

    Sgt Hulk is such a piece of shit. Cracking skulls is just a whimsical term to him. It is normalized. Not a single good cop to be had in the Capital of Texas today.

    Republican whim good. Everyone else deserves death.
  10. Welp, now I got Tin Omen lyrics stuck in my head. Amped up war dance.

    just following orders.
  13. Reminds me of this other Axiom, if you get wisdom from axioms you are a dumbfuck who was probably beaten.
  14. When you are the President, you can move them like a bitch.
  15. It is not that simple. Pollution is also causing creating issues with fertility and impacting anogenital distance (which is correlated to fatherhood). Wage stagnation has created a necessity for many to have dual incomes homes. Demands from work are increasing with greater access for people to work remotely during their 'off' hours. Obesity and meat heavy diets impacts sex drive/performance.
  16. I heard that stupid shit too. From the same people that advised me on a graduate teaching assistants' salary I could afford a $300k home in 2007 and I should get in on this hot real estate market.
  17. @Brisketexan I smell an opportunity here! In Trump we God? In Gold We Trump? Time to lift your end of the couch.
  18. Ha! Sorry, I wasn't implying you directly with the Ted Cruz comment but I do think that perception exists within some segments of our community and our government. We love to build up our adversaries, which I supposed helps us not underestimate them, but we often go too far. China has its own cultural issues with their little emperors and with the emphasis on single male heirs, losing men in a useless conflict is going to have huge social implications and force China into another crisis given their limited welfare program (according to Wiki). While they do indeed study and copy equipment from others, their initial use will likely be fairly underwhelming as they are not experienced in putting it into action. Just like how Ukraine ran out the first gen Bradleys out into minefields and while they were successful in keeping the crews alive, they had to adapt to the tactics the equipment was designed for. China supposedly has issues with carrier launches/landings and while they will eventually figure it out, those things should not be taken for granted. Sure they copied our hovercraft, but can they actually protect it and deploy it? How can they defend assets around the world with such a limited range on their Navy? Sure they can eventually overwhelm Taiwan, but the cost to China is going to be high and their ability to continue to project power out towards Japan and India will be compromised. Plus. there is another major issue at stake. China's economy is heavily tied to the U.S. as a trading partner. Other nations would gladly jump at the opportunity to make rubber dogshit for us. It would cause us both pain, but a manufacturing center which loses its customers is going to have a much harder time surviving than a customer who loses its manufacturer but also retains the knowledge to set up shop elsewhere. But that is just like my uninformed opinion man. I could (and probably am) be wrong. (PS thanks for the fun talk/distraction) Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
