  1. To be fair, someone asked you to not ‘Nicole up this thread’ and deleted it just a few minutes later, stating he removed it because he didn’t want to sound mean. No one said ‘please leave’, especially related to your ‘option’. And while I’m glad Covri deleted it, he does have a bit of a point…just look at the Rainey thread, wherein you have a tendency to spam links / armchair gumshoe detective musings / longcats. Also often followed around by a few thirsty bastards, NTTAWWT. Personally I don’t care but don’t portray it as some kind of ‘they can’t handle me in the CR’
  2. Then…maybe don’t vote him in as speaker? “I am outraged by this thing I made happen”
  3. Anytime I’ve been in Waco I get the same feeling as reading It for the first time…Waco = Derry
  4. Oh look another young white guy with a rifle that has a box magazine, semi auto action and easily added accessories…like a scope.
  5. Ok well guess that confirms he’s a closeted gay guy with a beard wife
  6. So is it unnecessary roughness on MM if he ends up throwing the ball straight threw a defender’s body? Ukraine doesn’t need Javelins, just a few Maalik clones out there throwing slant routes.
  7. Tangential to your post I’ve seen bystander syndrome in action twice first hand and associated lack of accountability by people in groups. I think about them often and am deeply grateful that my innate personality saw me react without thinking about it. 2017 ROT Rally: Cart with two women standing on the back flips over, one hits her head so hard I can hear it over roar of the bikes…out of the crowd of ~24 only myself and one more run to them. Pointing at someone and yelling (like you’re taught) to call 911 was met with blank stares twice, so had to do it myself. 2022 ACL: Dude was shuffling his very fucked up friend towards the medical tent near the Miller stage. You see that occasionally, but suddenly his friend looked up at the sky, opened his mouth and literally started turning gray…pretty sure he stopped breathing. Out of a huge crowd only myself and two other dudes ran over…they hauled him at a full sprint while I ran in front shoving people out of the way. My guess was fentanyl OD…that moment oh him literally staring at the sun while his skin changed colors haunts me. Like I said, tangential to this thread but I’ve seen first hand that most folks’ sense of what’s the right thing to do is highly dulled in the presence of a crowd.
  8. Man I’m just an outsider here but holy shit is that a bad take…y’all are 6-1 with a close loss to a surprisingly good OU team after a decade+ of maddening mediocrity and you are (checks notes) complaining about Ewers? Wtf do you consider great? Beating Alabama at home? Us Pokes are about 2 weeks beyond figuring we weren’t making a bowl game at all and you’re…complaining about being 6-1? Listen I’m the Prince of Whines but take that weak ass troll shit somewhere else.
  9. Pick six for the nerds against FSU…beautiful
  10. I thought the BigXII ran through Lubbock?
  11. He gives me Jalen Warren vibes…makes something out of nothing. Bowman was sharp too.
  12. Oh shit how could I forget that one on my running list of ‘red flags predictive of far right tendencies’? Precious metals talk. Other greatest hits include excessive American flags, Trump and 1776 paraphernalia, thin blue line, 2A/come and take it, bald + goatee and Joe Rogan speak. In fact I’m sitting behind a ‘checks all the boxes’ ham planet right now at my daughters gymnastics class. Every week she parks her Trump sticker-laden Expedition in the handicap space, uses her phone and purse to take up three chairs, and wears some kind of gun-related shirt.
  13. Catturd will fall in line like the rest of them once the latest version of this shit show resolves itself. Doubt anyone divorced three times has any commitment to any position very long.
  14. Lionel Hutz: “and what did you do after you were kicked out?” Marge: “We went straight home…” Lionel: “Mrs Simpson need I remind you that you re under oath” Marge: “We drove around for hours looking for another all you can eat fish restaurant” Lionel: “And then what happened?” Marge, crying: “…we went fishing” *gasps from the courtroom* Paraphrased from memory but god I love classic Simpsons
  15. Fuck notre dame
  16. All those things make complete sense to me. I’m still going to bitch about it. Got to, this America man /RIP Snot Boogie
  17. That and their stable of 4/5* players ensure some level of continuity as injuries pile up. For us (osu), the invested time/resources it takes to find a 3* diamond in the rough (especially OL) means when they go down the next 3* underclassman behind them is going to struggle. And time slot absolutely matters. Some folks like me will check scores to find interrelating games during each tranche of matchups at a particular time. WVU/Houston last week was an incredible game, and outside of my investments in combustible couch suppliers, didn’t really have an interest if you’d asked me about it the day before.
  18. Oh boy that’s a personal gripe of mine…commercial real estate prices collapsing + tax breaks being threatened = let’s enforce blanket policies to require folks in the office regardless of personal or professional circumstance. Meanwhile residential RE still a scarce resource…but we can’t be bothered to consider converting empty offices into some form of residential facility due to cost, zoning laws or sheer willpower by rich business owners/executives to force a square peg in a round hole. So now I waste an hour round trip in my car 3x a week, to waste 20 minutes looking for an open hotel cube, to waste a few hours slowly getting more frustrated listening to loud ass talkers on conference calls that aren’t even in my org, to realizing the handful of folks in my org I actually want to talk to aren’t even coming in today, and finally saying screw this…just to go home and get actual work done while doing laundry.
  19. Dude…we get that Texas/BlowU are big blue blood draws, the monetary value of the conference is taking a hit, and hell I own UT gear / occasionally got to games with friends at DKR / enjoy Texas fans / been to a Surly tailgate / married to a double longhorn. I’ve really enjoyed the Texas/OSU series last dozen years, win or lose. But for ever living butt fucking Christ… Football exists outside UT/SEC. Let the adults talk, I’m learning shit here from guys like TK…go back to the kids table with your weird cousin over there eating boogers and suspiciously pocketing the canned cranberries.
  20. If there was ever a time wherein I wished @MrPhlegm and @CHAD BRISCOE produced an offspring solely for my amusement here, it’s right now for this thread.
