  1. 100%. At some point the adults really need to step back in charge or we're just going to continue to drive off the cliff. As noted earlier, most of these kids have never experienced actually racism and would not know it if it hit them on the head (insert predictable spooky ghost voice calls of racism from the usual suspects), and these kinds of histrionics actually dull claims of actual racism. This is basically our Juicy Smalls moment and we have to decide if we're going to be rational or go along with the performance. As daddy said - only one way to stop a bully is to punch it in the mouth.
  2. Am I the only one more interested in what Nicole did to trigger all the CR betas? I tried to listen to the podcast. I thought it was more entertaining than the story. 1. I had no idea what "vocal fry" was until apparently it was invented for this chick - I just though it was 976-voice. 2. I love the fact that the Zoomer podcaster fanciers herself some sort of Edward R. Murrow with her three years of online "journalism" experience - helps explain why the average 'murican is so woefully misinformed 3. Her solo catfight with everyone else talking about the story is epic.
  3. You clearly have not been paying attention. You can't win football games in a culture of micro-aggressions and trigger warnings. Beta males don't get laid or win national titles.
  4. Does anyone know the background of why adoption is so incredibly difficult and expensive in general? We have friends who had to go overseas because it was too expensive and difficult here as well as friends who did a couple of private adoptions. Not a panacea, but feels like adoption basically should be free. I understand they need to do background checks, etc., but should it really be expensive? On foster care, no idea ... do every consider returning to orphanages? I am sure there are unique drawbacks but might at least be able to provide a consistent, steady experience for most kids. I used to volunteer at the Methodist Home in Waco, and they did a pretty good job as far as I could tell.
  5. I think the game will be closer than expected. I think Briles will rape the defense during the first half but talent will pull out a 10-point win.
  6. Beat me to it. Guess what? Humans are dicks. Africans sold slaves to Europeans. Indigenous people "colonized" each other. What we call "native Americans" just happened to be the ones standing when Europeans arrived but in most cases they took the land from the last guys. I'm not excusing shitty behavior but also not so ignorant and naive to pretend like this is some sort of uniquely European behavior.
  7. Kaddhaffi bringing his big-ass tent to international meetings was my personal favorite.
  8. So I came across this and watched seasons one and two. I think I must have started season one a while ago - I remember a few things like Brittany and the bar but did not recall the story. I thought it was entertaining, and I could watch Billy Bob Thornton or Tania Raymonde anytime. Not sure if I have the energy for season three. The most annoying things for me were the MacGuffin's and other stupid actions. Season one: How, when, or why was Cooperman burned? Why does he hate Billy? The defense was uber confident in its case until the end - it really needed to kill the plaintiff? Why even do the fake suicide and just say there was a fault boat and pay the widow and kids $10M? Dwight Yoakum is going to just spill everything randomly and McBride can magically turn on a recorder without him noticing? Season two: What's the relationship between Gabriel and Marisol? - for a few minutes I thought she actually was the kingpin and he was just an "actor" Why does world's greatest drug dealer have to suddenly leave town? Was that just a "movie set" - why? She should have just taken him to Oaxaca and claimed she was from there but everyone she knew is gone. Who was the "middle" guy - forget his name but the cop's best friend - just some random middle man between him and Wyatt? These guys can kill a kid in prison but can't take out a random errand guy without some complicated frame job? WTF kill Lou Diamond Phillips? It is not like parental alibis are uber credible on their own. The magical super agent lawyer that went crazy knows everything? Fun pulp but so many loose ends. I've overthinking it but it could have been really good if some basic plot points passed the common sense test.
  9. Has the university every released the final capacity figures?
  10. Congrats. If we did not live in Idiocracy, it would be possible both to not fat shame and to not encourage poor health. But this is 'murica where we just make shit up to be pissed about.
  11. I'm over really caring about what people that grew up eating Tide Pods think about complex issues.
  12. Although it goes agains my principles, I'm starting to think "ends justifies the means here" to put an end to this bullshit. I'm over idiot zoomers and their Grievance-Industrial Geppettos.
  13. Pretty racist to promulgate the stereotype that black folks can't swim.
  14. White kid from deep in East Texas? Depends on if you consider East Texas to be be Northwest Louisiana like many real Texans do. Go Fuck Yourself 2.0.
  15. Not to digress, but how did Astroworld/Waterworld close? Seems like every major city has at least one big amusement and water park.
  16. The OG podcast mentioned in the OP does a few episodes on the 1% gangs. I infered from a couple other episodes there might be selective cooperation.
  17. He and Harbaugh seemed like no brainers.
  18. OG is a good podcast, but every other word is "but Detroit." Guy has a serious chip on his shoulder.
  19. I am the only guy that didn't know this was a hood rat thing.
  20. Illinois is the sorriest excuse for a big state football program in the country.
  21. My good friend has a connection with a guy over there who said it is a disaster. In reality they have lost touch with so many Americans we have no idea how many actually are there, dead, hiding, etc. Starting to helicopter Americans they can find out of the city into the desert where they can land aircraft.
  22. I randomly listened to that episode even before this thread, and it was very interested. We lived in Chicago and KCMO so always interested in what is going on there. It was a shame he completely skipped Texas but not sure much is left these days.
