  1. @ElChupacabra please follow up on this. i need the information if you're willing to share.
  2. now you're going to need to cite your sources. please find a quote in which i said any of those things. the kkk was not started by a political party...but in terms of the kkk and southern democrats prior to the kennedy and nixon presidencies, i would strongly suggest you familiarize yourself with something called "the southern strategy" and ask yourself this, who would they support today? perhaps you could inform the answer to that question by asking yourself about the makeup of january 6th protestors and the fact that the proud boys, nsc-131, oath keepers - all very open racist organizations - were so intricately involved with the planning and execution of the january 6th riots. if you have a problem with the kkk social club for some reason, have you asked yourself why you would vote for the same candidate that white supremacist groups like the kkk are supporting? do you believe modern day kkk members, oath keepers, proud boys, etc... are voting for kamala harris and tim walz or for donald trump and j.d. vance? your bit is deteriorating quickly. you need to go back to your gambit from two pages ago.
  3. there we go. keep going, you're almost there. this is a super cogent post with a lot of strong, coherent thoughts that tie together in a well-articulated argument. tell me more about your highly informed takes about the state of the economy...i am most interested in your statement regarding high unemployment if you don't mind. perhaps you could square it with the below:
  4. "HOW THE FUCK DID THE HISTORY CHANNEL KNOW THAT KAMALA HARRIS HAD A BLACK FATHER???? IT'S UNPOSSIBLE BECAUSE NO ONE GAVE A PASSING THOUGHT TO HER HERITAGE UNTIL SHE STARTED PRETENDING TO BE BLACK!!!!" https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/kamala-harris-sworn-in-first-female-vice-president the nyt too? how? how i ask? in 2020? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/07/us/politics/kamala-harris.html someone needs to explain to me how cbs saw into the future from 2020 to see that kamala harris was going to give a rally where she stressed certain inflections to reveal that she was black four years later? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kamala-harris-first-black-woman-vice-president/ i don't understand where the office of vice president profile on the official white house website got this top secret information about kamala harris being black on her profile. https://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/vice-president-harris/ this npr story from 2020 must have had a crystal ball. https://www.npr.org/2020/11/10/933631207/claim-us-if-youre-famous but super credible and thoughtful "biracial" surly poster with primary goal of projecting victimhood in this thread says that nobody knew the vice president was part black until a couple of weeks ago. "seems legit."
  5. come on guys, i know it is fun to fantasize but never underestimate cypress, texas (all of northwest houston for that matter) and the north metroplex. as you drive through these suburbia hellscapes made up of endless cookie cutter houses with garages not used for vehicles and massive trucks parked in the driveway...just remember they are quietly doing their thing.
  6. the least surprising thing i've read today. you don't seem like someone who values familiarity with facts or basic information.
  7. "guys, i didn't know that the vice president of the united states for the last four years was mixed-race with an black father and indian mother. but i am an enlightened and well-informed voter."
  8. - cosigned by mark robinson. you're definitely on solid ground.
  9. while i have to admit i have enjoyed the hour of effort you put in here to hit every single trolling possibility you could in your effort to project being a total and utter nincompoop, i think your chef d'oeuvre here is the above...equating the inability for anyone (including donald trump) to be familiar with the heritage of everyone they encounter to the impossibility of being familiar with the heritage of the vice president of the united states for the last four years. that is an all-fucking-timer. well done, sir.
  10. i'm sure someone else has said it in this thread but just in case, very doubtful that this was a result of the stein campaign...much more likely the republican party in NC got wind of this and forced it out prior to the deadline to withdraw in an effort to try and get him switched up.
  11. wasn't a statue of liberty handoff, just a delay draw with quentin griffin. the game you are thinking of was the 2002 game that we choked off. fucking griffin went for 248 yards in the most frustrating defensive game of that year. it really highlighted what a dropoff we'd had from 2001 to 2002 on d. while it would be my strong preference that quinn was healthy and ready to go against msu to get back in the swing of things, last time quinn came back from injury in a debut against ou, it was borderline erotic with a 49-0 victory.
  12. i will kick in an extra $100 a week if we can start doing some drills in practice for holding one's water pre-snap for cam. he is making up for it in his blocking for the most part but i think the offense could be a bit more efficient with 78 fewer false start penalties.
  13. disruption of communication infrastructure that continues to push them backwards into more and more archaic and less efficient mechanisms. they had already pushed them back to the early 1990's. completely new installation of communication protocols which takes lots of time and money. further paranoia and guarding against a non-stop feeling of threat. attempting to enhance security is extremely expensive and laborious. slows things down considerably. that also leads to a temporary operational hurdle that makes them extremely ineffective or agile because they cannot coordinate efficiently. the feeling that you are under threat 100% of the time regardless of where you are, when you are, who you are, what you are doing...demonstrating that they can get to you and instantly kill you by means you've never previously imagined and in your home with your family. it's psychologically deteriorating. it, of course, further hardens the confrontation and ensures no peaceful coexistence in short and long term but unfortunately, we seem to have crossed that threshold for good. eta: on the coordination point above, i do not think it is a coincidence that today we are seeing low level fighter jet flights over beirut and bombing runs all over southern lebanon in the immediate aftermath of them likely abandoning all their existing primary communication protocols.
  14. quite possibly the stupidest "analysis" ever published from whatever the fuck "informa connect academy" is. https://informaconnect.com/academy/companies-entering-trillion-dollar-club-in-2024/ lulz. the fact that this gets turned into "elon musk is about to become a trillionaire" on here is a perfect microcosm of how idiotic our media and media consumption has become. eta: their analysis was so careful and precise that they list musk's 2024 net worth to be 1.195 trillion already on their table even though they say he's three years away. awesome work.
  15. i work in the industry and routinely provide clarification on industry custom and practice in o&g. i have to say that in my years on surly, debating whether or not midstream and downstream are part of o&g may actually be the peak of utter fucking stupidity in the debates that exist here. anyone that does not think that midstream and downstream are part of the o&g industry need to have their fucking heads examined because that is genuinely some of the stupidest shit i have ever read...and a bizarre hill to destroy your credibility over. midstream companies are not just tariff chargers. they often purchase commodities at the wellhead under purchase contracts where title and risk of loss transfers prior to them gathering/compressing/processing/treating/transporting. dcp, oneok, etp, enterprise, kinder, and on and on and on all have thousands of these contracts. they also act as service providers but that doesn't make them part of o&g for fuck's sake. y-grade ngl transportation from processing plants to mt. belvieu or conway for fractionation is absofuckinglutely part of the o&g industry as anyone that is not a complete dipshit knows. e&p, field services, midstream, and downstream are all different but all part of o&g. i genuinely cannot believe this is something being debated here. weird that the oil and gas journal's front page sections out general, e&p, drilling & production, midstream refining & processing, and midstream/downstream pipelines and transportation right there on their homepage. https://www.ogj.com/ here, a federal government agency violates rex's law of being an idiot by laying out an overview of the oil and gas industry beyond e&p: https://www.epa.gov/natural-gas-star-program/overview-oil-and-natural-gas-industry dumbshits at deloitte's oil and gas industry outlook includes focus on midstream and downstream? how? https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/industry/oil-and-gas/oil-and-gas-industry-outlook.html library of congress overview of oil and gas includes what? https://guides.loc.gov/oil-and-gas-industry even a cite for idiots like investopedia understands: https://www.investopedia.com/investing/oil-gas-industry-overview/ more basic cites for idiots: https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/career/oil-gas-primer/ https://www.oilandgasiq.com/strategy-management-and-information/articles/oil-gas-industry-an-introduction https://www.petrosync.com/blog/oil-and-gas-industry/ truly bizarre that this is being debated.
  16. there's a bit of a linkage between texas winning national championships and terrible shit happening. we won our first national championship in 1963 winning the cotton bowl in dallas just a little more than a month after kennedy was assassinated. 1969 was the year nixon became president, manson family murders, Vietnam war kills 22k americans, santa barbra spill, . on the other hand, apollo 11 and woodstock. 1970, nixon was still president, the beatles break up, vietnam still going strong with 23k dead americans, the bhola cyclone, marshall football team plane crash, kickoff of economic malaise. 2005, w is president and we are idiotically fighting two wars in afghanistan and iraq, hollaback girl is the number one song, the commodity and housing market bubble is fully engaged.
  17. eanes had one the week before last. they arrested the little shit-for-brains. anonymous tipline came through on that one. send them all to siberia.
  18. i suppose that could go in the lulz category with 10 corn/11 agro but it wasn't as satisfying as the other three where we beat their asses or played a crazy great game. being 1-4 and losing 50-7 to "no damned tcu" the week before made it difficult to enjoy other than it was bitch ass baker losing.
  19. there is no need for pedantry (says the guy dropping "fewer" memes) for anything that covers the period from 2010 to 2022 in texas football. the fact that swoopes, haines, money, watson, herman, etc.. all were associated with he school at all is enough to just say other than the 13 ou, 18 ou, 18 uga, and 22 ou games, the entire portion of our lives should just be forgotten for the perpetual nightmare it truly was. eta: oh, and 2010 nebraska/2011 agro just for the lulz.
  20. while i primarily share others' responses of "why are you giving us updates on your ambivalence to attending home games," i would say that i can totally empathize with the decision to avoid 8 hours of driving the next two weekends for these two rent-a-victim games...BUT, i also share the wtf response to the fact that you have apparently made said 8 hour drives happily to watch tyrone swoopes, dylan haynes, and kai money play football coached by shawn watson and now you can't be bothered to show up to watch a real football team coached by real football coaches execute at high levels? sounds like maybe you're just getting old (something else i empathize with). good opportunity to give your tickets to kids or people less fortunate to go enjoy themselves though.
  21. if tim walz doesn't have a prepared point in the vp debate to drop something like "i understand mr. vance shrugged off taylor swift's endorsement of our campaign stating that her billionaire status disconnects us from the interests and problems of most americans...a point i find ironic given that his entire career has been predicated on being multi billionaire peter thiel's errand boy in his quest to destroy democracy by being the vice president to a pretend billionaire who routinely demonstrates not just a disconnect from most americans, but disdain and disgust with anyone who is NOT a billionaire," then i will be very disappointed in this campaign.
  22. nothing but good experiences for me. everyone was super nice and friendly. most were also somewhat resigned to their fate beforehand. any of the smack talk was relatively good natured and it would take a really sensitive person to get pissy about anything we encountered. zero problems with anyone or anything michigan from the weekend. not even in the same solar system as the rat fucking shit-for-brains at ohio state. those piece of shit can all go fuck themselves into oblivion for all i care. i hope they all lead miserable fucking lives.
