  1. The fact that yall have spent 4 pages and the whole morning arguing about transgender policy is why people have no idea the real bad shit is going on. This isnt the real issue, it certainly has an impact on a small percentage of the population, but it is mainly to display cruelty, create division and distract the conversation.
  2. Don't play with anyone if you can't handle playing with people.
  3. No one cares ever.
  4. What other people do doesn't make a shit. Every card has an EV regardless of who does what. It doesn't matter if everyone plays the book or not at a table.
  5. Basic blackjack strategy is how you reduce the house edge to the minimum over the lifetime of hands at the same bet every time. Unless you are playing an absolute fuckload of blackjack it doesn't make a shit. An advantage player plays book + makes statistical assumptions when the cards left are favorable to make large bets and that helps swing the variance in their way. If you are sitting down to play a 2 hour session just have fun and assume you've lost everything you have bet. Double down on 13 and do fun shit for the rush. Split 10s. Live a little. If you are trying to play 5 days of 10 hour sessions maybe learn how to keep a count and know the book strategy well.
  6. This is just the preamble. Quit being such a puss.
  7. Big numbers don't make them make no sense. The tax revenue from AISD alone is insane. Everyone including people who don't have kids pay the ISD tax through rent or actual property tax. (1.7B+ in 2024) I understand recapture (robinhood) fucks up a lot of math for big districts that would otherwise be well funded. I'm acutely aware of how and out of what buckets things get paid, very obviously from my post. This isn't helpful in what they are having a shortfall on. You ever seen how middle schoolers treat Chromebooks? $20 per device per year per student that is also legally allowed to be a passthrough cost to the student/family for use of a multi hundred dollar device for the year. Thanks for giving a good answer that helps understand how the budget gets eaten up, I knew that teachers took a lot of it, but this is wild. Is there a big imbalance in pay for teachers in rural districts that benefit from recapture and the big districts that pay out a lot? It seems pretty wild that the overwhelming cost of education is humans and that those humans arent even well compensated (non administrative functions). Is the teacher to student ratio off in some of these places? This is an administrative choice, it doesn't have to be that way.
  8. I don't pretend to know what things cost in schools, but why is this so expensive? Outside of teacher salaries, the real estate is free/tax free/funded with bonds that aren't ISD dollars. Maintenance shouldn't be insane, the tech/refresh cycle is long enough to not be a huge cost and books etc are also reusable for years on end. What eats the budget?
  9. Never saw porkys either. Will watch that next.
  10. Well yeah a Heisman calber QB probably does it. The only articles being written about Quinn are telling. They are all about his draft stock implosion and how he should have taken an NIL deal to stay.
  11. I still don't think he had the numbers to justify the deal. I think the deal was sort of like these self fulfilling prophecies that people call startups. Anyone can lose money at scale with backing, and they can even get everyone in the world to know about it. The criteria for becoming a "made man" of sorts is completely bogus and adds little to nothing to the economy. Entertainment and infotainment has largely become extremely parasitic to economic productivity in America, but everyone keeps pouring money in because the ponzi scheme is alive and well.
  12. Yeah, Beard was a very good basketball coach.
  13. Its all the exact same shit. You get tier 2 experience on overloaded networks and deprioritized. Only time you will ever notice is at huge sporting events or very large festival type things where it's oversubscribed and even then you will just be the last person not uploading anything because no one is uploading anything.
  14. Watched last night with the wife. Don't really see the comedic angle just yet.
  15. This is why flag football is actually going to be the next big thing. They've tried NFL lite and realized it doesn't work and the only things people care about are the big hits or the crazy plays. Flag football let's you have high paced crazy plays, is just different enough from regular football and has an easy gateway. Its why the NFL is gonna pump billions in and make it a thing, womens sports will never become popular until women start caring about sports more than they care about other shit.
  16. No don't have Netflix. I watched it on my own.
  17. Yeah, I demand elite eight or better.
  18. I keep thinking he's fired. Damn this thread getting hot randomly haha.
  19. I saw him live in detroit in 2019. He was funny.
  20. Rogan used to be funny, now he's just kind of a miserable piece of shit. That's what the YouTube video highlights.
  21. Lol I just watched this. It's so fucking good.
  22. Hard to get arrested in jail. (Kidding but would be funny if that's why)
  23. Didn't find a thread about this movie, currently watching for the first time ever, I don't really know why. This movie is absolutely hysterical. Completely unmakable today.
  24. Not the asshole. It's a bathroom, it has a toilet and it has a lock. You are allowed to shit i n there. Would move to maybe the asshole if you intentionally ate bad foods and took laxatives to make the bathroom disgusting.
