  1. Ordinarily, I'd say yes, that is a stupid question, because who could possibly be that dumb? But you gotta remember who we're talking about...
  2. I know this is the forum where we mostly talk about veggies, but good night, my backyard pond is lookin' purdy.
  3. Don't you fucking dare say "It's really, really hard."
  4. "Loose but accountable." I dunno, sounds less like a football coach and more like a pimp. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
  5. OP has me thinking about a dumb joke I told on the football board that bombed. Prison humor reference, so I casually dropped a Chauvin reference, and it got called out as political. I would have called it out as stupid, personally, but... Why the fuck is that political? It *ought* to just be a murder case, but it's not. And that seems to be the consensus. Why? I think it's because the Right wants cops to be protected from consequences for their racism. And I don't see any evidence that would lead me to any other conclusion -- the evidence in that case was so overwhelming it seems tautological to say Chauvin is a murderer. Saying Ted Bundy is a murderer isn't a political statement, so why is this?
  6. Don't fool yourself. The evil git actually still thinks he can be President some day.
  7. I wouldn't mind the lies so much if they weren't so stupid. Don't fucking insult my intelligence, you fat fucking goober.
  8. What? Whether you think he should be going to prison or not, he's going to prison. Cloak room is for value judgments. This was clearly shitposting, not political posting.
  9. Hey, I don't usually try to derail a thread, but when I do, I'm gonna go for chronological relevance, not comfort level.
  10. Wait, so you're saying SarkAfterDark is Derek Chauvin?
  11. The right thing almost killed me a few years ago. I posted on the 6th Street Journal Bob Brockman thread about having done software QA at UCS / Reynolds & Reynolds; crooked, corrupt company through and through mostly because the culture was dictated by a crooked, corrupt through and through human being. But the salary bought a house and paid for me to keep my wife at home where she could do the most good for our special needs son, so I looked the other way for a long, long time. And just about drank myself to death. I quit shortly after one of my coworkers did drink herself to death. The right thing is definitely not the easy thing. But it is still the right thing.
  12. I would quibble with this being non-topical. Certainly an unusual opinion, but to be unpopular, it would require people to try it and not like it. I would think the vast majority of people who try this will like it, because jicama is criminally underrated as a dippable delectable.
  13. You know, you never hear stories about Amish preachers having heart attacks the first time they see a woman's ankles, either.
  14. While I'm waiting for the veggies to look worth posting about, here's some of what Springtime in the Carolina Piedmont looks like: There's also a ton of Carolina blue hydrangeas around, but just because I've got Tarheel colors growing out back doesn't mean I have to advertise them. I'm planting some burnt orange amaranth this summer; those I'll post pictures of.
  15. Where's the "You're Goddamned Right" emoji?
  16. I think the point Scipio was making is that Sark prefers to scheme guys wide-ass open rather than relying on recruiting freaks of nature whom you only see once in a lifetime.
  17. I am completely on board with this method of evaluation. Gimme an insane completion percentage any day of the week. Unless it's VY day, but even then, we tend to forget that his last year here, he had an insane completion percentage, in addition to a string of opposing linebackers and safeties with broken ankles.
  18. I don't remember ever NOT finding it. I dunno, maybe the Lake Travis HEB is defective or something. It's a pretty basic cut of meat.
  19. I lived there for 16 years. It's real life. Yes, there are progressives in College Station, but don't let that fool you. Racism is normal, Q-love is rampant, and repugnant beliefs are more common than rational beliefs. That place is a moral cesspool.
