Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

Shipley swallowed by private equity. RIP Shipley
956 Worldwide replied to Chopper's topic in Daily Texan
I can slam those hot Kristy Kreme glazed but they get pretty mediocre after even a bit of cooling. The reality is that a cake donut is superior with coffee as a breakfast and Shipley is better at that. Sneaky good: HEB sour cream donut. -
Dem Strategeries For Mass Cult Reprogramming
956 Worldwide replied to Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand's topic in Cloak Room
Iāll also add that when all politics becomes national rather than local, that is going to harm the party trying to appeal to the broadest base under our system. The GOP used to try and be a big tent party but it ditched that. It is baked into our system that it pays off, relatively, to win more square miles. The GOP realized that winning Texas by .5 percent is more valuable than winning New York by 30 percent when it comes to electoral college math. And itās easier to build a red wallof rural white voters than it is to build a blue wall of complicated competing ethnic and social blocs, especially when the most provocative voices are accessible even when they are the most hyper-local. -
Dem Strategeries For Mass Cult Reprogramming
956 Worldwide replied to Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand's topic in Cloak Room
I am hearing both of you here, even as I am more naturally a basic bitch centrist. I feel obligated to say here that the Democrats won more votes for President than the GOP in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. And in 2000 they likely ACTUALLY won the EC as well. The GOP won more votes in 2004 and 2024. Most Americans respond to kitchen table issues, most of the time. The issue here is that Dems play by norms and bipartisanship and good governance when in power and when they lose. The GOP wins through hyper partisan judges, by out street fighting the Dems in state legislatures, and by counting on Dems to be cautious with prosecutions. The GOP does neither. Getting out of that cycle is complicated because youāre asking the Dems to destroy the village in order to save it. -
Nopeā¦they donāt. Thereās a very small handful (think maybe a dozen) who can do that, and itās far fewer now after Russia invaded Ukraine and came under heavy sanction. The ones that do are or were playing for a money laundering/sanctions evasion organization or for the vanity project of very wealthy men who often are taking money from a huge menās soccer team. They are in leagues with no salary cap. Most women playing overseas are making lower salaries and making money off of cost of living. Thereās no real conspiracy to underpay women: womenās basketball has not been a particularly profitable venture with a large fan base anywhere in the world. The WNBA owners would love to have a product that drew that revenue and could pay those salaries. The exciting thing about the WNBA is that it is legitimately poised to change that soon. The challenging thing about the WNBA is that is hasnāt yet.

I live in a large city and take public transport most days, and it is one that has its fair share of āmental healthā problems on the streets. One thing that is striking is how rarely the people suffering from mental health issues choose to harass healthy adult men.

The guy had an extensive criminal background including mutilation of corpses. https://www.wxyz.com/news/local-news/investigations/traverse-city-stabbing-suspect-had-decades-long-mental-health-struggles-criminal-history Recidivism is one of those things that is absolutely radicalizing. A small amount of people account for an insane amount of overall crime. For example, in NYC just over 300 people accounted for 1/3 of shoplifting arrests (over 6000) in 2023. āThree strikes lawsā have gotten a fairly bad rap but we could implement like an 8 strike law and achieve a similar effect of a drop in crime. I would absolutely vote for a ballot initiative to incarcerate each of those 300 people for life if I was a New Yorker. We should focus on rehab and release only for people with 1-2 offenses. Different prisons, different interventions, everything. Over five should mean youāre gone forever.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
956 Worldwide replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Randy Yin from China being excited over Cybertruck boxes and that actress hammers home my anecdotal observations on Tesla drivers: 1. Liberal leaning white people (embarrassed, older model, and often have a bumper sticker apologizing). 2. East Asian upper middle class (fewer and fewer of them, they realize itās embarrassing). 3. Indians working in tech or finance or both or wishing they did. 4. White guy who films videos with sunglasses on (Cybertruck only). -

An increase in the valuation of an asset doesnāt mean you have funds to pay people. Example: I buy a painting from an unknown artist for 1,000 at an estate sale. I take the painting to an appraiser five years later and it turns out itās an old masterās long lost worth and values it at 3 million. I have a 3 million dollar asset but that in no way means I have cash on hand to live large unless I take it to auction or use it as collateral for a loan. I read that the owners of the Liberty basically bought it at a fire sale as a distressed asset. Itās now a valuable asset but that doesnāt mean itās turning a profit that can actually be used. Expansion payments are not income to a franchise, they are intended to off-set a dilution in future revenue sharing.

A good 75 percent of DJT appointments are just Caligula appointing his horse consul. Itās all just rubbing the Senateās nose in it.

Spill the Tea: Fiasco for āSafety in Datingā App
956 Worldwide replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
The huge pitfall here is the requirement that the reporter be honest and unbiased while using the Internet. Should also point out that the user verification process of selfies and DL is nothing close to bulletproof. It almost certainly illegal under EU data protection and privacy laws (and isnt available there). -
Spill the Tea: Fiasco for āSafety in Datingā App
956 Worldwide replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
South Korea has like a .72 total fertility rate and is basically in relationship free-fall. I think itās the anonymous part and no way to respond that gets me. Some of the comments on the site is stuff like āhe took me on a cheap date, waste of timeā or āpretended to be interested but didnāt ask me out a second time.ā That stuff is just dating pitfalls. You should have to put your name to stuff like that. I can see anonymous if itās actually a safety thing. -
I just became aware of the app itself and now today Iām seeing a catastrophic security breach. TLDR: There is a āwoman onlyā app that allows women to upload photos of men, reverse image search and run background checks, and share any āred flagsā or āgreen flagsā anonymously. It suffered a security breach and now there are tons of user selfies and PII of the women on 4chan. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/tea-app-breach-exposes-72000-selfies-id-photos-and-other-user-images/ My thoughts here are pretty mixed. No one should have their data stolen and put on 4Chan. I see the app itself as incredibly morally questionable. It promises that men are not allowed on the site, cannot search for what is there about them, and allows users to anonymously share information about men they have dated. I have zero qualms about an easy way to search public databases and return law enforcement info, restraining orders, etc. Iām a little less comfortable with allowing anonymous allegations of genuinely threatening behavior or dangerous behavior with no recordā stalking, domestic violence, threats, etc. Or verified catfishes or scammers. I see it as a gross violation of basic privacy to allow people to anonymously share their gripes about a date or ex with no verification and no way for the individual to reclama or even know what is being said about them. And I think that the relationship between the sexes is cooked at this point. Basically open hostilities. We are going the way of South Korea.

Iām uninterested in how women would compare to men. The same level of uninterested I am in Usyk vs Inoue in boxing; we divide athletes based on things like weight and body capabilities for a reason. The fact that Inoue gets mauled by Usyk in no way changes my respect and appreciation for what the smaller fighter can do. What CC has shown is not that WNBA players can play with men. Sheās shown that the WNBA can offer a fast, attractive, coordinated and athletic style of play that is fun to watch and skillful. Swimming is not a sport where men and women are particularly close. The fastest man is over 2 seconds faster in the sprint 50 and that is an eternity. In the 800, the men are close to 40 seconds fasterā the percentage gap has dropped but for perspective, the men are getting up and on the deck by the time the fastest woman has started the last length. In both swimming and running the women do overtake the men at ultra long distances that arenāt part of the Olympics events.

These Jubilee 1 vs 20 social discussion videos
956 Worldwide replied to Derka's topic in Daily Texan
I gotta say here that agreeing to debate 20 MAGA types and then being surprised to find a Nazi among them might be the dumbest statement to come out of this. Especially if you ever watched any of these dogshit videos. -

Itās injecting Nazi and fascist discourse into the popular consciousness as something to debate as opposed to something that isnāt worth considering. It shouldnāt be watched and people like Hasan shouldnāt take part. -
Pork can get an abscess, rarely. That smell will not dissipate though. I donāt remember sensing a strong smell from opening a package of fresh pork. Iād proceed with caution.

For marketers or accountants or whatever, there isnāt collective bargaining or payment based on revenue. Those are transportable marketable skills. Teams have a choiceā hire an accountant within the local pay band, or donāt. Thatās why it doesnāt make sense to compare the salaries of a WNBA player to WNBA admin employee. Those salaries are based on local labor conditions and basically are what they are. Clark and Wilson are not the examples here and a future CBA isnāt about them. There are 170 (maybe?) WNBA players. If anyone between number 50-170 (I am being generous) tell a front office owner āI can make more as a teacher or accountant using my degreeā the owner can absolutely give them a handshake and go grab someone from a developmental league or one of the undrafted players. 170 is a tiny pool and because of title IX we fortunately have plenty of D1 colleague athletes to vie for those spots. You are absolutely correct that the ladies have more bargaining power if the league makes money. Thatās kind of at the heart of the whole system. None of this is unique to womenās basketball. U.S. olympians in multiple sports are among the best in the world at their craft and the vast majority of them are faced with tough decisions about finances and when you go get a real world job. Michael Phelps or Katie Ledecky has Caitlin Clark-like leverage and bargaining. The fourth place finisher is likely more marketable outside the pool. For most of its existence the WNBA has been closer to āOlympic sportā level interest than it has been to major professional level interest from the viewing public and the salaries have reflected that. Itās in a weird growing era.
