  1. There's stuff that is definitely blurry and worthy of news thread inclusion, then there's obvious shit that isn't. The problem isn't the blurry stuff, it's the other stuff and people repeatedly knowing that they are taking direct partisan and straight up political talking points and injecting them into a discussion about an event. It doesn't move the conversation forward and it doesn't inform anyone who's coming in as a lurker about information they should have about the event as a news story. The discussions about what should happen etc are all very political by definition, what has happenned and why is also political but part of the factual basis of what happened and is important context to the event. A really easy way to figure out what isn't in the grey area is thinking about the discussion in a frame of "am I opining on what should happen and what political things need to happen to make that happen?" That's CR. "Do I think previous decisions made by people who are and have been in charge directly provide context into the event?" That's CR "these were the laws and here's who signed them or proposed them and what were actions that led to the event" not CR and important context. Its really easy to see how 2 don't belong in the news thread and how they belong in a thread like this focused on discussion. News/major event threads should be summary commentary, new developments and general reactions. Discussions shouldn't really be the focal point of the threads that are predominantly there for active events. There are threads in the daily Texan that are all about discussion and opining about things, but event threads and active breaking news threads don't have that focus for pretty obvious reason.
  2. Legit fuck off. All of you need to knock it the fuck off.
  3. I got @ by jimmyjazz over some stupid shit I'm tired of hearing about from people that post in here. The egregious offenders of talking politics outside of CR outside of the stupid maga outbursts where people just cant help themselves and self immolate are people that post A LOT in here. So no I am not lost.
  4. Guys shut the fuck up, this isn't hard. Stop putting partisan bullshit that isn't news and is straight up political discussion in threads that aren't in CR. Having meeting minutes from a real meeting that happened come out showing that they declined warning systems isn't political and it's not being moved, this thread already exists. Stop bitching and acting like I'm shielding anyone from anything. It's not fucking weird or strange for someone to not want politics injected into every fucking conversation that happens. As much as all of you want to blame everything that happened on someone, there was hundreds of fuckups that led to this and any one of them could have made he situation better. I am seriously considering shutting down the board anytime something like this happens because none of you can fucking handle it anymore, you've all become broken brained idiots who can't fucking do anything but talk shit to people in a community that's not fucking growing. You aren't on fucking twitter or Facebook there isn't a billion users. There's the same people that have posted here for decades at this point. You aren't changing anyone's fucking mind, you aren't enlightening anyone, nothing you do here fucking matters for things outside of Texas sports and recruiting where this is a very large contingent of the internet community. Are there a bunch if thin skinned morons who are clearly maga bitching about shit that hurts their feelings? Yeah, so what fuck them. I'm tired of babysitting all you fucks who think it's okay to go and put fully political opinions in news threads. Not everything is political and if you have that opinion you aren't being silenced this board and thread is perfect for that. Some of you seriously don't, or can't realize that the recruiting thread updates over the same time period as this topic has 15x the views. I want discussions outside of football and sports to take place here, but there are perfectly reasonable asks related to keeping the board clean and topical to the sections. This isn't a crazy ask, this isn't a conspiracy theory where immamac and the mods are pushing a conservative agenda. We aren't protecting anyone. Stop being such whiney thin skinned little bitches and just follow the fucking rules that have been in place for well over a decade.
  5. Yeah it fits tbh. @closetojumping
  6. Thread title will change when season starts.
  7. Cool whatever.
  8. As a practical matter it's over. They died trying to save the girls. If you wanna be all big bad internet tough guys and say they are gonna sue them millions of times over its just a waste of time and money, but sure they can and who gives a fuck. There's no accountability to be had beyond what's already happened. The people responsible for the fuckup are dead, just like the children and just like the 70+ other people.
  9. The owners are dead.
  10. If some of you can't handle being able to talk about whatever you want in appropriate threads then you can stop posting here. No one is deleting shit and no one is saying you can't talk about whatever you want, this isn't the thread for it it's not a difficult concept and it's one I'm tired of reiterating.
  11. The sign at the tailgate is pretty clear.
  12. Hope is a dangerous thing.
  13. If you go look what I left you will see the difference pretty easily. I was also talking about if someone wanted to make a new thread for this event in DT they can easily do it.
  14. No one is stopping anyone from making threads. I didn't delete anything yesterday and the conversation wasn't stifled of even impacted based on the move of about 3 pages of posts that were clearly easily a standalone topic. Its not hard to find threads.
  15. This is so fucking terrible.
  16. Rename files to .mp4 before you post and it'll embed for everyone.
  17. Well they are also dead so there's that.
  18. Then fucking shut up about other shit.
  19. You are done with this thread or you will take a ban.
  20. Are there any chances it's not the worst case?
  21. Best and final. Lock it up?
  22. New motto?
  23. No one cares in line at chipotle.
