  1. I'm probably very biased due to my work in psych pharm but the idea that we can stop mentally ill people from getting firearms while protecting the second amendment rights of average citizens seems paradoxical. I remember around the time of the OKC bombing we were talking about the motivation some people have to harm someone. Whether it be for personal gain or revenge, there was always a reason. But what if there isn't? Look at the Vegas shooting. Maybe there's info we're not aware of or that hasn't been made public but as it stands today we have no idea why he did what he did. We knew why the Columbine kids did what they did. We knew why the Virginia Tech guy did what he did. This guy didn't have a manifesto. No suicide note. No social media posts. He didn't talk politics. He allegedly had depressive episodes but mostly kept to himself. How are you supposed to find these urges to kill out? Are we going to require gun owners to spend a year in therapy? Two years in therapy? Physician sign off to buy a gun? How do you stop the next Stephen Paddock?
  2. Oh fuck! Are you shitting us right now?
  3. It's fucking with my desire to use the damn lot! I don't need a driveway on a two car garage that can fit 6 vehicles. Plus I hate yards.
  4. Oh her ass is going straight to ski school while I tear it up on the mountain
  5. Finally convinced the wife to go skiing. So fucking excited
  6. Name the damn kid what you're gonna call him. One of my college friends named their kid something like Michael Bradley Smith and they call him Bradley. Then fucking name him Bradley Smith.
  7. If all you care about is W-L then yes the Big 12 championship game didn't matter. Does a 1 loss OSU team get in over an undefeated Cincy? I don't think so.
  8. Cincy had no losses going on. So yes, it isn't the same scenario
  9. My only takeaway from the final 4 ranking is that yesterday's Big 12 championship game didn't matter. Oklahoma State wins that game and they're number 5.
  10. Do any of you have obsessive thoughts that just consume your entire day? I've been very quiet about this but it's driving me crazy. Earlier this year I was involved in a competition and got my ass kicked (not literally). Some days I spend my entire work day just obsessing over it. Replaying what went wrong, imagining what would have happened had I done things differently, just non stop. It happens so much that when someone comes up to me to ask a question it's like they're interrupting the flow in my head and it pisses me off. How do I let go of it? What things have you done to move on?
  11. My wife had the same concern but it's no louder than having a fan next to you on the low setting. If she can sleep with another fan on, she can tolerate your cpap
  12. It has to be for more money. OU is a destination job. I would understand if he was a head coach at a smaller, mid major program like East Carolina or Texas A&M but you don't leave a blue blood unless a Brinks truck is in your driveway.
  13. Oklahoma is a blue blood program. Great recruiting base. Boosters flush with cash. The largest potential in college football. Who would be the best fit? Easy answer. Charlie Strong. Who else could do less with more?
  14. You recognize a difference between race and ethnicity, yeah?
  15. There's a form you can fill out that allows you to use a given name on a passport. I'll have to hunt for it.
  16. 95 people in line at Specs right now.
  17. 49th state brewing was awesome when I went. Cold as fuck outside, huge fire pit inside, and the most perfect soft pretzel with beer.
  18. Bourbon market is officially out of control. I can't compete with people lining up at specs at 8am.
  19. Growing up in DFW there are two types of racists. You have the blatant ones who openly hate minorities, spread racist propaganda, etc. But that represents a very small amount of people. The other type of racist is the one who views minorities as helpless but they want others to do the helping. They're the ones with the rainbow sign in their yard that says "no human is illegal, black lives matter, love wins" but they're at the city council meeting opposing the nearby apartment complex rezoning because it will hurt the charm of their neighborhood. They'll tell you they support efforts to help the homeless but goddammit build the shelter away from them.
  20. The last game of Charlie Strong's tenure was the first time I ever turned a UT game off at halftime. Next week's game might be the first time I ever skip out on watching a game altogether.
  21. I would like to formally apologize to the 2010 squad because you're right. This team looks awful.
