  1. What makes you think Miller is leaving anytime soon? Just had a kid- seems like he’s here for the long haul unless you think he’s gonna retire to spend time with his family.
  2. Wife forced this on me and this was my takeaway. Hated every character in this except her attorney. Did every episode mention how much they hated Trump?
  3. There were several instances where we had guys in position to make a play on D but they just sucked and couldn’t finish…. I’m looking at you Brockermeyer.
  4. Questionable subs for sure
  5. I didn’t necessarily want kids when I was younger but we had them to keep my wife happy. Now I love them almost more than anything in the world….. I didn’t want a dog either but got one to keep my wife happy, and now I love that dog more than anything in the world. You just never know.
  6. No- I personally think it’s wrong that they decide and filter information but it’s their business and it’s the most common platform out there. I wish there were alternatives but at the present time there isn’t. I don’t think the government forcing a private business to practice a certain way is legit either but it’s what we’ve got.
  7. I agree with you, private businesses can do what they feel is best.
  8. Then where does it stop? Do you silence communists? Antifa? Ted Cruz? AOC? Ilhan Omar? It’s a slippery slope? We shouldn’t all have a homogenous opinion. We should be free thinkers and decide for ourselves. The worst thing we could do is let the government or administrators at Twitter/FB/IG decide what information should reach us.
  9. If you want to go on Twitter and bring someone’s comments or actions to light, I absolutely think you should. If that results in someone getting fired for making insensitive remarks, fine with me. I don’t give a shit as long as there is a platform for someone to have an opinion.
  10. It wasn’t right then and it’s not right now. No one should be persecuted or “canceled” for their beliefs. If you don’t like what someone has to say, ignore them, just like the crazy religious guy telling everyone they’re going to hell or PETA members protesting furs. That’s what’s been great about this country is that if you don’t like something, you can absolutely change things through protests and movements. Suppose civil rights leaders were silenced because the mainstream didn’t like what they had to say. Just because you don’t agree with something someone says doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous to silence their voices.
  11. People not speaking out against Lia Thomas for fear of getting cancelled is a real thing. Just because you don’t think it’s a big deal for her to compete against women doesn’t mean that others don’t have a valid reason for believing that it’s not legit. Just because you say there’s no such thing as a cancel culture doesn’t make it true. There’s plenty of other examples but you support the canceling mob so you’re blinded to it. It goes both ways.
  12. I watched 3 terrible movies on my flight over spring break. The new Scream was awful and I would’ve stopped watching it if I had anything else to do. “No Sudden Move” with Benicio del Toro was the best of the 3 but still bad. The worst was a movie called “Every Last One of Them” about a guy looking for his missing daughter. The movie had no flow and made no sense really.
  13. When I was there in the late 90’s, the young conservatives and la raza were always going back and forth on the west mall.
  14. He brings up a valid point. It’s one thing to shout down hate speech. It’s another thing to infiltrate and shut down a speaker because you don’t agree with their politics. This isn’t unique to Texas. The Yale law students went and shut down a “free speech forum” because the law school invited a religious conservative to debate an atheist liberal because they didn’t like the politics of one of the speakers. I guess the irony of a free speech forum being shut down because they didn’t agree with one side’s speech was lost on them. Rational debate is all but gone in this day and age.
  15. Dude is a serial killer in the making. Hopefully he’ll be behind bars for a long time.
  16. And there’s the fuckstick techtard who’s team needed a bunch of questionable calls to beat an 11 seed. Get over it- nobody wants to permanently live in Lubbock and anyone who has a modicum of success is going to leave your shitstain of a school as soon as possible. You’re a stepping stone school, get over it.
  17. Let’s hope the peacocks have some magic left.
  18. Now Hobbes and porterhouse can go jack off because they’re too good to criticize officials.
  19. That was a questionable shot. Ivey but he made it and we lose.
  20. Fuck off- I’ve got Tech and Sooner fans texting me telling me we’re getting fucked on these foul calls.
