  1. You're in the same conservative bubble as all those young boys, that's driven and reinforced by algorithmic content recommendations.
  2. CR Post Rules 1) You can't just be up there and just doin' a post like that. 1a. A CR is when you 1b. Okay well listen. A CR is when you post the 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The post is not allowed to do a mention to the, uh, president, that prohibits the president from doing, you know, just trying to build the wall. You can't do that. 1c-b. Once the CR is in the poster's hands, he can't be over here and say to the mods, like, "I'm gonna post ya! I'm gonna post you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to CR and then don't post it, you have to still do a football move. You cannot not do a football move. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, football movement with the post, and then, until you just CR it. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the post up here, like this, but then there's the posters you gotta think about. 1c-b(2)-b. LaVar Ball hasn't been on any NFL teams in forever. I hope he wasn't remembered as an NFL camp body. 1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, he started Big Baller Brand too! That's even worse. 1c-b(2)-b(ii). "If you can't afford the Z02's, you're not a big baller!” --LaVar Ball. Haha, classic... 1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A CR is when the poster makes a post that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the CR and field of 2) Do not do a CR please.
  3. well I'm pretty sure they're dropping US (made or funded) weapons, so we're already in for a penny in for a pound with Israel
  4. I think a key structural difference you're overlooking is that TV is one-way communication. There's no realtime feedback loop from watcher to TV station, where because you watched one show they start pushing more of that show to you. Today, nearly EVERYTHING is algorithmically driven. Facebook and Twitter will show you ragebait to make you engage more, and then in turn use your posts as ragebait for someone else. Youtube sends young men down the radicalization pipeline with glee, because hours and hours and hours of conspiracy drek means massive advertising revenue numbers and a thriving market. And as a bonus, it comes with a free echo chamber where you aren't even exposed to different ideas except for the express purpose of upsetting you.
  5. I'm not looking for things to criticise, I'm stating concerns over extremely inconsistent play. The short Livingstone pass is the upside - against a relatively pedestrian team and defense. I worry about the downside against MUCH better opponents if we don't start seeing actual development week over week. My issue is not that in week one against the defending champs he had some struggles, it's that he had the same struggles in week two against a WAY worse defense with much less complexity and stunting to make his reads harder like OSU did. Two datapoints lets you draw a line, and I'm eager to see improvement and growth so that line points to better outcomes. And yes absolutely his footwork is better than QE - he's not self-sacking and is successfully extending plays and is manufacturing opportunity. I would just like those play extensions to end with a ball in our recievers hands, not kicking up a rooster tail in the turf
  6. I don't disagree with any of this, but my issue is that Arch has had vanishingly few GOOD throws so far through two games. It's a much more likely outcome that he sails it or throws it down a rope under the recievers feet. He needs to settle down and stop being a headcase, because he's got the time to improve. I (and many others) would feel much better if he were even making a quarter of those throws. Even his long TD that pads his passing numbers was underthrown significantly - the reciever doubling back to catch it out of stride tripped the secondary, but that isn't gonna happen against a competent defense in the SEC. My main worry is that he's going to continue to have massive variance in his play, and our opponents will capitalize on that and we end up with middling record. Talking like "yeah but if we just made this ONE PASS...." takes me back to 2010-16 and that era of Texas football of endless close losses, but for one busted pass or play.
  7. Hate is passed down from generation to generation with great pride. "Heritage, not hate" is usually how you can ID that type of chud.
  8. Have you talked to any trumpers? They don't have the mental capacity to hold more than one thought or concept in their head at a time. Artificially limiting context is a powerful mechanism for reinforcing their delusions. Lulz watch out icono
  9. This is just the 1930s German playbook. We've been on this track since we failed to prosecute and punish the fascist insurrection attempt on January 6th
  10. Obligatory Perun video on the Flamingo GLCM
  11. Wait a minute... ARE YOU GEMINI??
  12. He got us within 7 points of bama, and then it was all downhill and he was a total head case. Arch is giving head case energy with his extreme hot and cold. I think we have a much better staff now that isn't completely checked out, so they'll manage him better, but he's gotta get his head right. It is bizarre seeing a crappy soft duck thrown with a wince, and the next down was an on-target dart
  13. And I don't think OU or Florida is gonna give us the ball four times to set up four easy TD's for Arch. The defense balled out and gave him a short field, and Arch was able to convert those situations that were served on a silver platter. I'm not calling for his head, and I think he's gonna develop just fine. But goddamnit I've seen this before with Garret Gilbert. I'll feel a lot better when Arch starts playing like a stud and stops being so insanely hot and cold
  14. Good lord man, dial back the grievance lol. Arch is making a bunch of bad decisions during games. He will develop. But it's extremely aggy to wag your finger and tut tut at fans who want to see a good product on the field and not just ugly penalty and mistake filled football. Accepting mediocrity is how you end up perennial 8-4 records
  15. Raiding a Hyundai plant and arresting 450 lawfully employed foreign engineers and specialists, simply because FOUR of their employees had "Hispanic sounding" last names. That's REALLY gonna help American manufacturing! What a fucking idiotic expression of fascistic power https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/south-korea-deal-workers-detained-hyundai-rcna229610 A sea of agents from HSI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agencies showed up Thursday to the site in the town of Ellabell where Hyundai and LG Energy Solution, a battery company based in Seoul, are jointly building a plant next to the manufacturing facility for electric vehicles. LG Energy Solution said Saturday that 47 of its employees were detained, 46 of them Korean. Another 250 personnel from “equipment partner companies,” most of them Korean, were also being held, it added. The raid came just 11 days after a summit between Trump and Lee at the White House, where South Korean firms pledged $150 billion in U.S. investments. In July, Seoul pledged another $350 billion in U.S. projects in an effort to reduce Trump’s threatened tariffs, which he later set at 15%.
  16. Well getting paid millions certainly sets an expectation of results. Dude is getting paid more than folks do on Sunday for crying out loud! You take a paycheck like that, you're gonna have a lot of opinions about the performance
  17. Kickass that Andor has won four Emmy's, well deserved for costume and set design
  18. Not sure if it goes in its own thread but the president seems to be declaring literal war against the city of Chicago, and has otherwise stated an intent to deploy Texas National Guard into the city.
  19. He sure does have the hot and cold that being sick can bring. Happy as hell to see him balling, but OU is gonna have a field day with his low points of play. If he can develop and raise his floor he's gonna be something else, but his variance in play is hella bad rn
  20. Well ok that'll do to fix it lol
  21. We cannot stop fucking ourselves over holy shit
  22. Aaaand a dumb roughing penalty. What the fuck
  23. Terrible choice by Arch there. I have not been impressed by his pressure decision making
