John Fetterman - saving America with sweatshirts and Umbros
956 Worldwide replied to Gil Bang's topic in Cloak Room
Fetterman is nowhere near as bad as Sinema or Manchin; heās a +90% D voter and those other two were around 70% or below. You get Senators like them because states like Pennsylvania and West Virginia exist. -
We have the same lawyer to blame for that. After he originally issued his extreme fatwa based on the 19th century anti-deficiency act, he moderated it by clarifying the ālife, safety, etc.ā exception that formalized making people work without pay. Instead, he made the threat of shutdown just painful enough that it became useful as a weapon. It canāt be said enough: before this opinion Congress would get lazy and let funding lapse before getting around to it. People just kept going. No one cared. We could even argue things were more sane. This whole thing reminds me of dysfunctional self-harm rituals on a societal level. āIf I fail this test Iāll cut myself, that will motivate me to study.ā

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time Itās Personal
956 Worldwide replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
The House needed an additional signature on a discharge petition to move forward with an obligation to release. The new Arizona rep provides that, and could have long ago but Mike Johnson sent the House home and refused to swear her in until the Senate voted on a budget resolution. -
Iām workshopping an idea where these super conferences incorporate a āpodā format that distills things down into a manageable, round-robin format to produce one champion. Maybe these pods could be regionally grouped and structured with important rivalries, and theyād be small enough where teams could also do fun or historic ācrossoverā games with other pods. Then at the end of the year the pod champions could play other pod champions at a cool stadium in a neutral site, maybe name the games something local or evocative. IDK, probably not cooking here at all.

1. Everybody should be paid. ATC, essential workers, non-essential workers. 2. Congress doesnāt have to do shit to stop shutdowns. We didnāt have them until 1980. The AG then issued a legal opinion saying a shutdown was required if a budget wasnāt passed and no one questioned it. They just went along. Any AG at any time could issue a new one that says āwe re-examined this and it turns out we were wrong in 1980. If Congress doesnāt pass a budget we will keep paying employees on credit and meeting ongoing obligations until they do.ā Literally that easy, canāt be repeated enough that this happens because political leaders want it to.

Oh, wow, megaconferences with no clear divisions have arcane and counterintuitive routes to a championship? Been amazing to see how long it took sports media to internalize that the thing guaranteed to happen, would happen.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
956 Worldwide replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Football
Curious why? To be clear I think PSU is going to downgrade from Franklin most likely. Brohm is from Kentucky; State College is firmly in Pennsyltucky. He has Big 10 coaching experience at Purdue; lots of East Coast coaching ties. They could do worse in terms of fit. -
Itās all just noise to me at this point. You want to be poised to have a bye and enough meat yet to keep it or move up and get one. If youāre bunched at 1-4 it will work out. If A&M finished with wins over USCe and Texas while Indiana closes with Rutgers and Purdue, my eyes will raise a bit if we donāt jump at least IU. Either IU or OSU will take an L if not two given the Big Ten CCG. An undefeated SEC champ should be 1 overall and a 1 loss SEC champ should be no lower than 2 IMO. But could see the committee saying that tOSU stays 1 till they lose. If we lose a close one versus Texas and that shoves us behind both Bama and Georgia that will be obnoxious. Maybe justified based on overall body of work, but for sure not a clear-cut call.

Gooner or later, weāre in serious troubleā¦.

Whats the score? Whoās playing? Is this an important game? I didnāt know there was a team there! -

956 Worldwide replied to Dnaguy's topic in Daily Texan
I used to work with this guy who was a real sad-sack. Always smelled bad, dressed all frumpy, and was this complete horn-ball who whined about not getting women. I felt bad for the guy, so Iād invite him out for beers to the strip club or Hooters to try and get his confidence up or break the mystique around women. He was super uptight about it though. I thought maybe he needed to unclog the pipes so I offered to let him use some of the porn I had at home. He didnāt want to though. Really picky for a guy who wasnāt getting laid. He eventually started hanging around more with this other guy at the office who talked a lot about eating ass. Donāt know what happened to them. -

956 Worldwide replied to Dnaguy's topic in Daily Texan
What I like is to go to a bar by myself and look for other middle aged guys like me who are there alone. I figure theyād like someone to talk to so I try to break the ice, maybe by asking a bunch of questions about the game heās watching or about the menu. -
Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
956 Worldwide replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Seems like Neuralink would have more promise and efficiency as an individual crime control system. This dipshit canāt even get his fake sci-fi dystopia proposals sorted. -
They gave me the most money and I liked having it. Itās fun on the inside. No regrets.
