  1. Thanks for catching that. Fixed.
  2. Normally, I get a little irked when people quote @Incredulity. Today, knowing that he got TrIgGeReD by me pointing out a prejudiced POS, put a little smile on my face.
  3. If anyone hasn't yet had the chance to neg a motherfucker yet over being a bigoted shitstain who blames the wildfires on DEI and lesbian bullshit, I've got some great news for you. Here are three of them, nearly in a row, starting with this one:
  4. All of your politically oriented and unoriginal questions/concerns have been discussed and given fairly thorough and technical answers by at least one subject matter expert in the Daily Texan thread. It might behoove you to digest the posts in that thread before popping off in the Cloak Room. Just my two cents.
  5. I guess it’s easy to blame the fires on Californians being woke treehuggers or whatever if you've forgotten the worst wildfire in Texas history was last February.
  6. There's still some shuffling that's going to take place for the 2025 season, but to the best of my ability, the following is how the conferences should look in 2026 once all of the announcements have finally taken place. Of course, the PAC still needs one more slot filled to make 8 full members who play FBS football. Y'all let me know if there are any errors.

  8. That's happening because he posts a post posting another post. He needs to just post the original post. post post post post post post post post post post
  9. What types of internet restrictions do they have in England? Not a gotcha, legitimate question. I'm wholly unfamiliar.
  10. Weaponizing Musk in Europe: cold hard cash, meet-ups with neo-nazis & nationalists, and threats of tariffs.
  11. An assessment of our relations with the Middle East, especially the Gulf States.

  13. Price gougers, looters, conspiracists...
  14. That's hilarious since I just chose an outfit just like that for a reservation I placed next weekend at a lovely Thai restaurant in downtown Nuuk, where I'll be looking at a few real estate investment opportunities to round out my portfolio.
  15. Yoopers are gonna be gentrified to Moose Jaw. After that, I've heard Greenland might be the next really big RE play.
  16. When @Incredulity hears about this cloud seeding SCANDAL, look out.
  17. Because they were started by (((space lasers))), Marge! We don't know how to stop (((space lasers))).
  18. Yeah, it's an unfortunate truth that many, many Deaf people are poor readers/writers -- especially those who were mainstreamed and don't get the special attention they need to hone those skills. Hearing kids pick up spoken language largely by osmosis because it's all around them all the time, and then it gets reinforced by reading. For the Deaf, they don't have sounds to associate a meaning to individual letters or letter combinations. They've just got to memorize all the combinations that make up words, which is really hard for younger kids. So, they get behind, and most never fully catch up. Fortunately, my daughter received intense instruction from my ex-wife and me at home and at school (Texas School for the Deaf), where she's now an excellent reader/writer. But it took a long time for it to click, and I was admittedly worried about her writing all the way up to early high school. The vast majority of kids don't have the luxury of having parents with post-grad degrees or even going to a school like TSD, and I'd venture half of them have Deaf parents who, themselves, are not good readers/writers.
  19. Sure, that analogy works, I suppose. If you want to go extreme, it'd be like not allowing a blind person to hear the Anthem; they can only read it in Braille. Like someone mentioned up-thread, closed captioning for live events can be really hit-or-miss (though I doubt they'd fuck up the Anthem but you never know). I just don't get how someone gets off trying to exclude a class of individuals from participating in the Anthem because it's a "distraction." Fine, shut your eyes and listen to the goddamned thing so that, horror of horrors, you don't have to see a visually poetic interpretation of the fucking song. Here's a funny thing: I got on BlueSky about an hour or so ago, and I'm seeing lots of skeets(?) about Charlie fuckin' Kirk bitching about an ASL interpreter for an LA fire press conference being a distraction. So, yeah, that particular bullshit is now lingering in the air, and now we've got to hear about it. So, like all the other bullshit we have to deal with, there's something/someone behind the viral conservative "controversy."
  20. I wonder what percentage of all those guys are still alive today. Five? Maaaaybe ten percent?
  21. Yeah, it's kind of similar to the past presidential campaign, wherein Republicans continuously brought up bullshit about kids getting trans surgeries at school, lying about it actually happening, and then blaming Kamala/Democrats for doing it. You can either ignore those lies and try to stay on message/topic/whatever, or you can speak up to try to set the story straight (and look defensive). You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. It's a rhetorical tool like asking someone, "Have you stopped beating your wife?"
  22. Okay, yeah, good point. I concede without argumentation.
