  1. I'm 45, and I still drink regularly, and when I'm hungover, I'm pretty sure a regular delivery pizza still sounds orders of magnitude better than a gas station pizza. As Derka has referenced, I think people struggle to understand just how addicting sugar is, and how sugar is in ALL of our fucking food, often unnecessarily but just as a way to sell more fucking food. This is why I think food addiction is a real thing, because sugar addiction is a real fucking thing. Generative AI, so grain of salt, but: Now, in America we pour sugar into fucking everything. Specifically, Corn Syrup, which we basically created to be an additional government subsidy for farmers. I've been on and off Keto for a few years now, and the side result is that you look at all the labels. The amount of "Added sugars" in the columns for foods like fucking bread, or condiments, snacks, and sometimes even processed meats, is staggering. And that's before you get to sugary drinks, even "healthy" ones like Gatorade. We lace everything with sugar, to make it more addicting, and then ignorant parents feed this shit to their children from day one. My son has a friend who's parents are overweight. The kid is still a rail, but he won't be, and he's gobbling down just koolaid and candy and ice cream and pizza and such at all times. I think his relationship with food might have never had a chance. And it's worse for poor children, where their access to food is limited to processed, sugar addicting shit. For many people, and in many regards, being fat is a choice. Maybe for all people, on some level, it's a choice. It's also a choice for me to climb Mt. Everest. Technically, I can do it. But realistically, I'm going to fucking die. And I say that as a 45 year old, reasonably in shape person, who probably needs to drop 15-20 lbs and quit drinking the way I drink.
  2. Lets not discount the fact that he just likes fucking children.
  3. You don't know that for sure. There could be one or two. Of course, chances are high they're dementia addled and think they're a potato, but there could be a couple.
  4. I like how your “plan b” is basically the same kicker as auburn. Fucking stupid. oh yeah, you think even the fat pussies on this board are scared to shit talk a 6 foot 180 lb kicker?
  5. Gotta appeal to the idiots. The reading level of half of America is the below the 6th grade level, after all. I can think of a few posters who think it’s brilliant.
  6. I think it's funny that he thinks his offspring would want to fight for him. Or do his bidding in any way. Or even talk to him. Track record says otherwise.
  7. Just like Bert Auburn, you think you're good at your job as well.
  8. That is ALSO what she said.
  9. It's a shame we don't have an option to take this attitude with your posting.
  10. I'll give my own anecdotal evidence and let folks do what they will with it. I will say I attempted to get back onto ADHD medicine as an adult and didn't like it, so I slough through life without it. Anyway. I am adopted. My records indicate that my father was 6'1 or so, and my mother was 5'10, if I remember correctly. I was always the tallest kid in class when I was younger. My mom was a former teacher, she knew I was ADHD, but docs wouldn't prescribe me Ritalin because I made straight A's in elementary school. Finally my mom found a psychiatrist was like "Yeah, this kid is classic ADHD" and prescribed Ritalin to me when I was in the 5th grade. At the time, I was 5'10", and doctors had projected my growth in the 6'7" or 6'8" range. I took Ritalin through HS, and from 5th grade to puberty, I only grew 5 inches, and I'm now a hair shy of 6'3". Now, that worked out for me, because man, 6'7" would not have been super cool, but 6'3" works out just fine, assuming Ritalin did stunt my growth. Not sure if my genes are of the 6'7" variety or not, but also anecdotally, my wife is 5'3" and our son is also generally the biggest kid in his grade thus far. He's 7, most folks assume he's like 9-10. We'll see how tall he ends up considering he's got his mom's 5'3" weighing him down. If he also ends up around my height, well, maybe I did have those 6'7" genes after all.
  11. I'm all for violence, but I'm not super keen on seeing a Final Solution implemented on an opposing QB. Unless it's at A&M or OU, maybe.
  12. How long can the oil industry shoulder 60 dollars per barrel without laying the fuck off people and shutting down any field expansion, or even re-working older wells?
  13. That's a weird way for the guy to beg his peers to buy his family baseball tickets for Saturday and Sunday.
  14. To be fair, I'm still watching it happen. I'm just enjoying it now because it's happening in College Station.
  15. You say "the government" but it's really just one asshole. Sure, he's at the top of the government, but he fucking hates the IRS more than you do...
  16. I'm not so sure. I think it more likely that they'll eventually riot in the streets while enduring all of the pain regardless. Sigh.
  17. Some some prognosticators, maybe it was the Bank of America CEO, say they think the bottom is when the S&P hits 4800.
  18. I think the US Govt (elected and appointed officials) will be more keen to stay this course longer than the American consumer. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe 40% of Americans are too stupid to realize what has caused the deep recession we'll all be living in 6 months from now.
  19. Well, it’s certainly changed location since the current head coaches office is in the Sourh Endzone.
  20. “I still want to see deadly accuracy down the field.” Oh, it’s so easy to just develop that, Quinn Ewers out front shoulda told him.
  21. The little girl? Some on this site would say so.
  22. I mean, the world didn’t end during the Great Depression, World War II, the Spanish flu, the dark ages, the black plague, ice ages or even extinction level events. But it sure as hell got unpleasant to live here for extended periods of time. Real unpleasant. I, for one, do not wish to live in interesting times, and there is a reason that is a Chinese curse.
  23. Why are you arguing with GRUHorn?
