    Looking for data supporting your point that the loudest individuals wanting shots in arm are vaccine hesitant. Got any or was your conclusion poorly worded?

    Okay. I will always admit that my conclusions likely are poorly worded, and as a data guy I will be the first to admit one cannot quantify "loudest" in this sense. So fair point. So that being said if you'll forgive my imprecision and appreciate my acknowledgement, I think reasonable people can agree that teachers have been quite hysterical about returning to work, so does not feel like a huge stretch they might be among the most vaccinated as a group. But feel free to agree to disagree.

    No foundation. (I added commas and a "who" to your conclusion)

    Where is your data showing those "loudly calling for mass vaccinations" are vaccine hesitant?

    Shift your focus to the possibility that those calling for shots in arms see the danger of vaccine hesitancy in their backyard - so they are vocal about that problem.

    (NYC teachers are at ~60% vaccination rate.)

    It's easy to paint caricatures of anti-vaxxers, but there was some article from the Atlantic that was posted on Doximity about vaccination. The comment section was all physicians posting under their real names. Not surprising but still eye-opening. I'm not sure you can totally explain this by class status or educational achievement. The tribalism along political lines really trumps everything else.

    Agreed. The problem from day one, virtually everyone's response was reactionary. Our public health leaders did not help but constantly contradicting themselves and making political statements masked (pun intended) as "science." I have tended to mute the experts in the favor of data because the "experts" do not agree and frequently change their guidance. Look at my post above - ironically those most loudly calling for mass vaccinations and those one would think would be 100% onboard show vaccine hesitancy inline with the general public.

    Obligatory fuck Bob Stoops, but he had an opinion piece published by The Oklahoman this afternoon.

    We have to keep gen pop living in fear of various bogeymen (Islamists among us for the Rs and domestic terrorists for the Ds) to maintain/increase agency budgets and impose a broader surveillance/police state.

    The cynic in me definitely thought back to Waco. Definitely not above the pail for the 'gubmet to find ways to increase budgets and power.

  6. As noted, a combination of factors:
    1. The NFL continued to erode the fanbases of SMU, TCU, and Rice, and those schools became less viable compared to big state schools
    2. The rampant cheating of the early 80s really broke down relationships among the universities as well as hurt the competitiveness of the on-field product
    3. In the late 80s / early 90s Texas regularly flirted with the Pac(8?) 10, and aggy with the secsecsec - as noted, Texas did not want to join the secsecsec for academic reasons

    The Big 8 became a good compromise because it met everyone's goals: kept Texas and aggy together in a conference that was a good option for both schools. The XII might have continued to be a great conference if corn were not such little bitches. In the early days, there was not a better conference out there as virtually every school had some great years teams particularly corn, OU, and KSU.

  7. Because everyone cares what I think ... I'm really tired of the wokies promoting morbid obesity. The Victoria's Secret catalog is no longer fappable, and Target is littered with fat girls in swimwear. Can we agree we can both oppose so-called "fat shaming" and not celebrate morbid obesity? We're going to have to pay for all this beetus and heart disease. We're not doing fat girls any help by telling them to celebrate their size 30 and have another run through the CiCi's line.

    I’ve rewatched a couple of times and I agree re Tony. He’s his mother. As much as you hate Janice she really tried to turn her life around and have a normal family and you could see it was just killing Tony to see her happy. The pettiness and spite and need to sabotage her (and Bobby) was more vile than all the gangster shit he did

    I think Janice is more like her mother i.e. manipulative. I mean the sickest scenes in the show are when she steals other women's food for Bobby and gives them to Uncle June and tosses Karen's last ziti. I mean that's some dark shit. I think Tony's just a stupid, selfish prick - there are myriad times where he could have some basic human dignity and sympathy - i.e. refuse some honorarium or listen to some legitimate concerns - that would have gone a long way. No wonder everyone hates him in the end. He's about as self aware as

    most sane people have known. i'm just picking on apple because they happen to be one of the biggest assholes in this department. them and john deere are fighting over who's the biggest asshole. also their examples of anti consumer behaviors are well documented.

    problem is they are encouraging other oems to follow because they see the huge revenue and high margins to be gained from locking down hardware. you think oems don't also see apple's billion dollar dongle business and think they too should limit ports to get some of that fuck you money?

    shit needs to stop. this is a first step.

    These are the same people that have been screaming about Big Pharma conspiracies for three decades now demanding everyone get monthly covid boosters and that no one should ever use hydroxychloroquine or ivermecin ... we are now dominated by people whose favorite show is "Ow My Balls."
