  1. The evidence issue is true to religion. The adoption of stories or other religious icons/stories also can be interpreted as a weakness. Gilgamesh’s influence upon the Abrahamic religions in particular. It would be akin to building a religion and incorporating Odysseus’ adventures but calling him something else. The issue I have with religion is that it’s practitioners use it as a cudgel more in reality than a guide for themselves. The over the top virtue signaling, the attempts to sneak it into schools and indoctrinate impressionable children is annoying. It may seem innocuous to you religious folks, but the pledge of allegiance children say daily includes normalizing the acknowledgment of a god.
  2. And their stock price today vs what it was back in 2010-2017? Contrast that to Halliburton.
  3. Hey Clarence, I think I may have identified a problem with your financial situation.

    There hasn’t been enough blood or carnage yet.
  5. I hear there is plenty of space in College Station for us to store old trophies? (no offense @troph)
  6. I think this is where we have a disconnect with reality. You are claiming I am projectecting because you invented motivation based on something you have no idea about? Cognitive dissonance should not be an aspiration.
  7. Good, I hope like hell their fanbase keeps it up and it is reflective of their coaches and players.
  8. Why do I feel like we are reliving this scene with each new dipshit?
  9. UW fans cannot not mention Oregon. It is pathological and hysterical. Reminds me of Joffrey talking about being a king.
  10. I am just going to assume you are young and ignorant and not willfully stupid. So let me educate you. Rankings at the time a game is played is not indicative of the caliber of the team. Georgia looked solid all year but not world beaters, and yet they held on to the #1 rank. Does that make Alabama #1 for beating them or does that make the voters look foolish for putting them at #1? I tend to go with the latter. Holding on to former ranking is monumentally stupid. Alabama can claim they beat the #1 team. But they didn't. That is Michigan. If they beat them, then Michigan is no longer #1. If Washington beats Texas and Alabama than that makes Washington #1, and Alabama did not beat #1. Same group of difference makers? Well, is the team is featuring Casey Cain as a WR in last years bowl game? Casey Cain had 8 receptions for 200 yards last year, half of which was against you. This year he has recorded 1 reception. For a guy who hasn't been injured, that should be a fucking hint as to where he lives on the depth chart. K-Rob was the feature back last year against you after 2 NFL guys in front left. K-Rob, was behind Brooks (out for season), Baxter, Blue. So you got to face our 4th string running back trying to perform like a square peg in a round hole. K-Rob has 25 carries for 86 yards last year. This year he has had 12 carries for 134 yards. What does that tell you? This is just an example of 2 guys on the team who are still here but I would say their roles and production should be a clue. But quite frankly, your fanbase is so fucking clueless they probably still wouldn't get it. Y'all way overhype Oregon. I watched them. I don't care that they beat up the sisters of the poor. I don't give a flying fuck what some talking head that doesn't watch games thinks about the hype train for them. I heard those same assholes talked up Colorado as being a badass team and they even laughably put them at 18 in the poll, just 4 spots below Alabama that same week. (see earlier point) Oregon squeaked by a hapless Texas Tech in the waning minutes. Texas Tech is 5-4 in conference, 6-6 currently. Sure we had close games as well. With demonstrated and statistical anomalies in officiating (College Football Nerds called it out on Twitter, media has called it out, not just us) and playing a back-up QB, who is in the portal due to being surpassed by a new guy. Sark's demeanor is just your projection. It is not like he was fired. He has substance abuse issues during his time there and at USC which is well documented. Rehab for his personal life and rehab for his professional life seem to have done him some good. Your fanbase has a massive inferiority complex and tries to overcompensate for it with stupid projections and statements. While we try to be welcoming to folks (we have quite a few Sooners on here, and we still fondly remember our KSU friend who passed) we don't generally like retread takes and stupid assessments. It is fine to come in and chat it up. Ask questions, and/or share opinions. But don't forget, Y'all are basically the same team, that won by 7 against a hapless Texas team last year. Your top 3 WRs were there last year. You QB is the same. RB is an upgrade (60 more rushes from this position for the season). Your secondary looks quite a bit different from last year with only 2 guys still starting and one demoted to second string. Now, I will end it here as a conversation piece. Tell me more about your secondary and linebacker play.
  11. It was pretty surprising that they were so willfully stupid. But from what I have seen on other platforms it does seem representative of their fanbase in general. I love how Sweat is just a fat guy (Mt. Cody-type) in their minds and I really hope their team and staff reflect their fanbase. They have no idea what is about to hit them. They actually believed the Oregon hype and think Alabama is a pushover.
  12. I checked out their website, they are complete morons that would give aggy a run for their money.
  13. Haha, Trev Alberts from dipshit on TV to failure of an AD at Nebraska.
  14. Only because it will make Aaron cry if Tech wins again.
  15. The more ridiculous part to me is how dated putting β€œx” on things is to try to sell it to GenX’ers who are now in our 40-50s.
  16. My only issue with Kurt and Wyatt is the height. Kurt is 5’ 9”, and Wyatt is something like 6’2”. It stands out to me. I am really rooting for the kids to die. I hate Mae the most. Would happily trade the ladies for the Monarch Korean guy to come back. No questions asked. It looks like they spent most of the story writing for the past. I get a little bothered by the lack of attention to details in footage. It looked like they were in a studio not driving in North Africa, and everyone was a bit too clean looking in many scenes. Seems strange to have the helicopter go down and everyone die. Stranger still to only send one.
  17. I don't know those specifics but a quick internet search said that all of the GM Cruise vehicles are grounded from operating after a pedestrian was hit and dragged by one of these driverless cars. Many of the workers axed will remain on the payroll until mid Feb and get their end of year bonus + 8 weeks severance, according to this link. The new head of the project decided to scale back from launching the project in 4 states to focusing on a single city/region. and This one doesn't seem so bad to me.
  18. The other day I logged in to Twitter and saw the Longhorns, Oklahoma were trending. I check and see about the Texas Women's Volleyball team. Nice pictures and short video of the ladies celebrating. I scroll down and there is some image that has to be clicked on to reveal by some lady that had a porn sounding name. I then click on Oklahoma thinking they lost another one, and the first two tweets are videos of guys jerking off. No filter, no image that has to be clicked on. I back out and somehow the rest of the random posts are right wing jack asses pushing russian talking points. I am surprised that people think Twitter has a $20 billion value. It is absolutely saturated with crap, misinformation, ads, and surprise porn. I might think it was great is I was bottle fed vodka and Mountain Dew or Ecuadorian applesauce.
  19. It is about risk. If Elon keeps having companies do well, one might think the next venture will do well and there is a fear of missing out/herd mentality that people go through. Its why we have market bubbles.
