  1. I want to be your friend. I'll bring gas money, you don't have to teach me to fish, I never complain on a boat, I'm a good conversationalist, shit in a pinch I'll even give blow jobs. lemme in!!!
  2. I mean the other day I made a comment here about if I were to look at porn it would be gay porn and it popped back into my mind later that night, I'll admit I went to find some high quality guy on guy dick sucking action and I was uh, prevented from such frivolities... I was mad for a second. I just watched something else on netflix. porn, it's serious business for everyone, you never know when you're gonna want some action. don't tread on me is right!! MERICA!
  3. it's actually worse than that. I have been auditing ingredient lists in our house, even fresh foods are laced with industrial additives and the seed oils are a hidden one (there's no "-zene" suffix but how that shit is made for mass use is awful). I decided to do this when i thought, shit who are all these people eating ultra processed food all the time. well, it's still not me, but I would have guessed ultra processed, lightly processed 10% of the time? My FUCKING FRESH KALE PASTA SALAD FROM HEB FRESH FOODS IS FUCKING ULTRA PROCESSED. yeah it has whole foods in it, but it also has 2-3 industrial fucking chemicals in it so it looks better, has shelf life and makes HEB more money/can cost me less. I mean it's not a bag of Cheetos, but fuck we cannot get away from these chemicals in most households. there's reason to be upset about that and I'm living walking proof that a near perfect diet can help us live better, healthier and longer (a rigid, perfect diet was integral to my overcoming long covid). diet is serious business, avoiding french fries is the canary in the coal mine, the problem goes much, much farther in terms of our for profit capitalistic food system. it's shit.
  4. I read the whole article, did you? portions of the article on potential negatives of seed oil... sunflower oil and all the others if not highly processed themselves are probably decent for you in limited use, she acknowledges that. good luck finding those oils though. she acknowledges that home cooking in limited quantities with seed oil is also unlikely a big problem. her entire article is BOTH are bad... which is what I said. the health reality is that we all think we avoid processed foods, we don't. I eat a pretty fucking healthy diet by American standards and I just analyzed my fucking museli cereal box (no added sugar, mostly whole foods), a fucking kale pasta salad from HEB's deli and a few other "healthy" foods I eat... guess what... scored as processed or lightly ultra processed. A fucking kale salad with some minor bullshit in it to make it last two more days on the shelf, boom. now it's not the end of the world here, but the point is, we eat processed and lightly processed food ALL THE TIME. seed oils as used in our diets are pretty much worthless or inflammatory. it's 100% worthwhile to get rid of seed oils from your diet when you can chose avacado oil (high smoke point) to cook your organic potatoes. one is healthy, the other is not, even in home cooking. this shit isn't hard to understand, though at times it's really hard to fully implement.
  5. There really are two problem posters here - well for purposes of this discussion - and to be clear there are all kinds of other problems but the trolling behavior is a problem, is Stassney one maybe I don’t care to evaluate and rarely engage him because what the fuck do I know? But the other problem IS the drive by rage poster. i have a lot at stake here, and i don’t drive by rage post very often. It’s 100% useless. You THINK it helps but it’s actually quite harmful. First no one listens. I can’t tell you how many of the reputable posters I flat out scroll past when I see their name because I assume it’s a drive by rage post. But more importantly, rage posting releases the endorphins for you and makes you feel like something good happened, but guess what, nothing happened, not one fucking thing. you mad? Volunteer, protest, donate money, run for office, vote, go to public hearings, go to council meetings, talk to your kids, do something besides fucking rage post. rage posting is a complete and utter waste of time and resources. /rage post end
  6. Ana is a lost soul. Perfect example of the walking dead but IRL.
  7. I find him peculiar and interesting, I stop and read, I haven’t spent enough time to figure him out. A bit, maybe? An enigma wrapped in a riddle, probably. A grown ass man who knows, but he’s got a lot of people throwing their arms up so I mean, hashtag winning?
  8. Empty calories and shitty industrial manufactured oils… which one is bad for you? https://health.clevelandclinic.org/seed-oils-are-they-actually-toxic industrial manufactured ultra processed foods are bad for you, full stop. Industrial manufactured seed oil is part of that. But the idea that shitty French fries become okay if fried in magical fat is fucking stupid. occasionally we make hash browns with our breakfast tacos. Only ingredients ? Potatoes, avocado oil, modest amount of salt, pepper and fresh garlic. you know what else, when the only ingredient in your potatoes is potatoes and you don’t eat a bunch of other shit food, potatoes can actually be very good for you. our diets are so fucking out of whack, but hey, beef tallow is going to save us from that sugar bomb headed into our arteries from the fucked up sandwich, potato sticks and diet soda.
  9. his sports IQ is at least one standard deviation above the norm for most posters on this board, maybe two standard deviations above the norm for the football board. he actually has very well thought out takes on most texas sports, all the time. his posts are sometimes long, he often repeats himself but as true as that is, so is the beating he takes from grown ass men who cannot help themselves. three things are true here, the sun rising and setting, derka repeating himself (oh the fucking horror) and these guys just piling on every fucking thing he says while blaming only derka for the 17 car pile up that occurs.
  10. IT'S NOT A GIVEN HE PERFORMS BETTER THAN QE EITHER. The insanity persists... it's not a given AM fails. BUT for you and a few others, AM's ride to immortal glory last year was a given.
  11. Why did I wade back into this thread? the Derka / SC spat isn't even the most annoying part.
  12. you know what else didn't happen? AM take over for QE, AM lose to AZ State or someone else and then we have a fucking disaster on our hands. the trajectory of the program is headed up and has been every single year. there was more than a theoretical risk that last year would have been a disaster with yanking QE in favor of a redshirt freshman phenom. failure to see that risk, failure to see the program is on hella solid footing, in part because of how Sark managed a VERY delicate year last year is the problem.
  13. that conclusion is only really cemented after the Ohio State semifinal. two losses to Georgia could simply be Kirby/Saban coaching tree/got Sark's number, etc. probably not but more importantly ... ...fact is, you change THREE plays the last two years that have nothing to do with QE, QE leads Texas to 1 if not 2 national championships. That's much closer to a real fact than AM takes Texas all the way last year. a Blue fumble against WA, a mental lapse by the defense at the half of tOSU, AD doesn't run a lazy route, wingo isn't shoe string tackled against tOSU.... and yes more than a few QE plays could have changed the trajectory too but the fact remains we were super close twice and it wasn't clearly QE's fault, there are clear plays that had they gone our way, we're in dynasty mode. so while I might agree with everyone on what coulda, shoulda happened, it was not insane for Sark to stick with QE.
  14. because QB controversies rarely work out well, a merry go round would be a nightmare and it's unfair to a green, redshirt freshman to have him take over for an experienced QB that has won many games. because loyalty to an NFL caliber QB (he was drafted, everyone thought it would be higher to start the year) matters for all stakeholders especially future players, and because QE was actually good enough to win it all, twice. Sark fucked up play calling at times, WRs fucked up routes, D lapsed at halftime, RBs fumbled too much. you change TWO plays, maybe THREE plays the last two years and Texas is back-to-back national champions. it really was that close (I am assuming its a foregone conclusion Texas beats Michigan two years ago and ND last year if we advanced).
  15. I think the passes for 5 yards or less were high for two reasons - one it was by design, an extension of the running game especially with an ineffective inside running game and ineffective redzone running game. The second reason is QE checked down often, maybe too often. He may have been forced to check down because the secondary is shutting down the deeper routes because of no real running threat (QE isn't a scrambler) and more passing downs because of ineffective running on 1st and 2nd down to give third and short situations. what I think is going to happen this year is the exact opposite with AM running and tossing it deep, but I do think at times we are going to wish AM would check down more often.
  16. what about cottage cheese, I don't think I've ever tried it, am I missing anything?
  17. i mean this truly as apolitically as possible. there's nothing normal about the national guard deployment in DC under these circumstances, nothing close to normal at all.
  18. Ends right after the invasion of Crimea/early interference/invasion in Donbass, but 85% of the book is pre-1990’s and was originally written right after independence.
  19. I’ve never eaten a hamburger or hot dog with ketchup. Am I missing anything?
  20. Only on chapter 3 but this is a quality read. Two parts, first part written in the 1990’s, the second part in 2015 so it doesn’t cover the current conflict though it certainly will get into the Putin reign and his views on Ukraine. So far it’s really good, a decent distraction from a shit world at least.
  21. This poor guy. His kids will never respect him. He should at least get NFT royalties off every use of this gif.
  22. One day the guys who longcat argue with derka will realize they are part of the problem to, right? I for one found his screen shots amusing. The sheer volume of dudes that vehemently disagreed with him - and were clearly wrong - is next level.
  23. Number of weeks in the AP poll, number of weeks at #1 in the AP poll is a thing that gets tracked for dominance. Ergo being #1 at any time is never a bad thing.
