  1. I don't really understand the tariff angle trump seems to be leaning in on. He is already elected, why isn't leaning into it further now that people looked at it beyond owning the libs and now understand it would actually be bad? Is this part of the Nazi thing? Full on nationalism we don't need anyone else we can make everything in America? I watched a really interesting documentary about shrimp of all things and how Louisiana and Texas shrimping in the gulf has been hugely negatively impacted by mainly India and Ecuador imports of farm raised shitty shrimp. The need for protections for some of the domestic product like this are necessary but its also reality that 90%+ of all shrimp demand/consumption is on imported shrimp and no domestic wild caught production could actually meet the needs. I also learned about garlic which has a similar problem, but from California instead of abroad. Same deal, a large majority of garlic demand cannot possibly be serviced domestically. It seems like these non commodity goods which are consumption based are losing their value at the producer while the value chain remains the same or worse. The garlic producers that survived moved further vertical in the product chain, similar to the shrimp docs that have long term contracts for demand for restaurants that refuse to do import shrimp at their restaurants. To be clear gulf shrimp which are a far superior product to imported shit are the same price or sometimes lower per lb than farm raised ass tier garbage brought in from India. Its overall a good thing economically if HEB saves the gulf shrimping industry by vertically integrating production into distribution, sales and possibly even final product (ready to eat meals), but it shows that unless you have the scale and demand captured you can't protect these SMB style means of production. The aggregate production can't be the only thing that matters to people, because it ruins the actual value of the domestically produced product Same thing with tools, cars, whatever. Tarrifs don't solve for the missing portion of production that cant possibly satiate demand just in the US. Whatever. None of this makes sense and in such an obviously damaging way that I'm trying to understand the strategy behind it.
  2. I'm still actually laughing from that image and the story. Maalik is awesome. I hope he gets drafted and starts for a while, I know he probably won't though.
  3. No hes a douche who ran away from cops, repeatedly does douche look at me behavior and isn't this awesome guy who everyone wants to have around. You know he's not a stranger around Lake Travis right? He's been a douchebag for a very long time.
  4. This is a perfectly fine concern and good discussion for this thread. Talking about his aggregate stats and just shitting on the guy befause you don't liking is not gonna fly in here anymore. It's played out and people wanna talk about other shit without having to wade through that. This isn't about sunshine pumping but go doom and shit on Quinn in another thread.
  5. We did have to change it to shaggytexas because of a lawsuit from the university though.
  6. Its not that he's talking shit it's that he's a fucking douchebag. People didn't like him before he went to OU. It has a little to do with OU and more that he's just in general a fucking douche.
  7. Fuck Baker Mayfield forever. This was a little over a month ago. What a bitch-made bitch.
  8. Quinn has played good post Vandy. Anyone bitching needs to shut up. We get it you want to bitch about something because you hate your own miserable life or something. Just shut the fuck up and stop ruining 10-1 for people. Quinn was clearly injured in the 2nd half of Kentucky. We want Quinn to not be injured. This thread should be a lot of injury speculation and contingency planning conspiracies. Instead you fucking morons are rehashing stupid shit you've already said 50 times a lot of times with the same exact words in slightly different order. Quinn isn't playing like he did againat Georgia which is where a lot of ire came from. Go watch that game again you fucking bafoons.
  9. 5.5 point line is a lot closer than I thought.
  10. aggy is the poster child for when keeping it real goes wrong. I was around it and in it for 2 short years up close and personal. Its always been wild to me how fucked up these people are and how fragile they are. I once attempted to dye my long hair platinum blonde, it didn't work obviously and I had bright orange fried hair. I had to buzz it off after a week but decided it would be fun to do a Mohawk before fully buzzing it off. That week I had the Mohawk people wouldn't sit anywhere in my vicinity and I had the majority of people literally get off the sidewalk and switch sides that they were walking on to avoid me. Pussies the lot of them. I graduated from that shithole when I was 19 before any of you fuck with me about being aggy, I was never aggy I just didn't know shit when I was a kid and didn't realize how much culture mattered. I never fit in with that racist piece of shit institution. For those that think it's revisionist history you can find my pictures in the composites hanging in the lambda chi fraternity house in west campus. I was initiated into the Texas chapter of a fraternity that had a chapter at TAMU because I was in Austin so much they didn't know I didn't go there during and after rush and I didn't ever fit in with those backwards fucks.
  11. Just caught up on this thread. I had to leave tailgate at 5pm ish. I didn't get to watch whatever shitshow you guys watched and it made my day pretty awesome.
  12. There really isn't an argument against this that is reasonable. I was thinking maybe sark didn't want any manning film out there to study.
  13. Is this the fucking game week thread or the aggy shits themselves against auburn thread?
  14. Its crazy to me that I woke up a nervous wreck when we play Kentucky today and all I can think of is which Quinn is showing up today. Ugh.
  15. I was making a joke because the thread is gone for obvious reasons.
  16. https://www.sportico.com/leagues/college-sports/2024/opendorse-layoffs-nil-tech-industry-1234816704/ Look at these idiots.
