This game is bananas

If KC could just cover the middle of the field with more than one dude in zone they’d have the ball back

Again, why bother? It’s about three pages of the same argument, and you’re not going to convince him…he will always deflect, reference his personal anecdotal experiences or find some study/math.

Impressed I didn’t see ‘bootstraps’ mentioned

Wanted to add that ‘statistical’ is exactly that…reflective of the inherent distribution of possible outcomes across their lifetimes, given their starting point. That starting point is inclusive of physical location, economic stature, race, sex, etc and their journey is influenced by work ethic, opportunity, the broader economy, etc. No one particular outcome is any kind of ‘gotcha’ for the system at large. Just ask the folks on the gambling board for examples…and that system is infinitely more narrow than the experiences of an individual across their entire lifetime. How many flawless brackets, created by people with endless knowledge/effort/compute, get ruined every year by someone missing a free throw while a dogs vs cats ‘joke’ bracket wins the office pool? You can influence your trajectory quite a bit, but not deterministically Not to mention bias when looking back is very real…Joe Walsh of all people had a great quote at the end of the Eagles documentary that goes something like ‘at the time, your life seems like random chaos but looking back it’s a finely crafted novel’. So it’s easy to romanticize your forebears life.

“All the middle class folk that I know in my small corner of this country are 95% where they are because of their own choices”

I haven’t been to Brazil, but the Phils police turned into quite the extrajudicial force under Duterte and in India if you’re poor either the police or the kites will kill you.

I don’t know why y’all bother, every time there’s a thread like this I hope to be pleasantly surprised by the takes of certain posters (and those who rep them but don’t participate), and it always just confirms my suspicions on their general outlook.

Autistic

That was absolutely brutal…handcuffed and just completely stomped, pepper sprayed and flat out murdered.

I felt like those two balanced each other out well…Jason playing the over-the-top, chauvinistic slob dickhead and Deb portraying the narcissistic main character spoiled brat type. They’d call each other out and often be somewhat entertaining radio. Beyond playing Red Hot Chili Peppers every time I tuned in, I stopped listening to 101x when Deb left as Jason solo just isn’t the same. I will admit I like the Matt, Chuy and (sorta) Bob thing KLBJ has going in the mornings. They often cover relatable topics without going into massive whining like Dale would, Bearden has always been introspectively funny, and Chuy embodies a general Texas vibe I enjoy. The downside is the same collection of classic rock during music breaks and Bob often checks out / the rock news thing is cringey AF. Point being it’s a nice change of pace from choosing my own content but they’re making no ad revenue from me as I’m not committed enough to listen for stretches anymore.

Fuck Baylor always and forever. RIP Queso, you are remembered. Amen.

They both sound like miserable people. Deb always seemed like a borderline alcoholic and def was regularly late to the show, and it wouldn’t surprise me that Sinclair is a total racist/misogynistic asshat.

Wait…you don’t really die from high blood pressure and heart disease, at 51 or whatever…right? Usually you die from an acute event triggered from those chronic conditions, like a stroke or heart attack...right? And 51 seems a little young for such a generic, flippant cause of death. My good buddy Chris, who passed away at 43 a good 5+ years ago now, had high BP and apparent heart disease…but it was a heart attack from massive blockage that triggered his early passing. I think she had Covid and her body wasn’t able to handle it BECAUSE of the underlying issues.

Fuck it, why not

I love how the show is one commercial for Rams, whisky, boots and how to quickly stop a horse…then during commercial breaks it’s ads for Rams, whisky, etc. Of course I’ve noticed quite a lot of dorks wearing black cowboy hats lately so it must be working

What the hell were they doing during their hard lockdowns? It was barely a gentle suggestion to stay home here in spring of 2020, but if it weren’t for my wife’s tubal after kiddo #2, I’m pretty sure we’d have kid #3 now.

Yep he took his money and got into photography, if I recall. Smart dude

Yep that’s it. Try changing that channel a few times, or try auto first…but if auto ends up on the same channel then try manual changes. May take a few tries, testing speed each time. Not saying that def the answer but that’s what channels are there for, interference. Also always worth resetting your router

That second image is your WAN status = connection from router to the internet…we know that’s fine because wired works well. Often there’s an advanced section in the wireless config, that may need a special password from the bottom of the physical router to get. If you get into the advanced section, try changing the ‘channel’ for it…on mine there’s an ‘auto scan’ setting that’ll look for the channel with the least interference. If all WiFi is slow but wired is fine, likely something is conflicting with your signal…neighbors WiFi, microwave, your wife’s dildo, something. Changing channel can resolve interference.
