  1. I could see her making that mistake if she accidentally switched from her browser or email app to her txt app. Inattention or poor eyesight combined with an accident is one thing. If she genuinely confused the two, I'm sorry.

    Horns Down

    I don't think it is taunting in all situation, but it is disrespectful. I haven't kept up with this thread because this isn't my fight, (no one does an inverted TCU hand sign), but I had an idea. If you throw horns down with your palm up and arm straight, it looks like Spiderman's webslinging. Yeah, that Spiderman. And it will work with any team's hand sign. I wanna see players of all teams webslinging all over the place (metaphorically, on the field, not elsewhere, NTTAWWT).
  3. I've read the Slow Regard of Silent Things, the poem "How Old Holly Came to Be", and the Bast novella The Lightning Tree. Slow Regard changes Auri, generally for the better though I am worried that it . The Bast novella really helps flesh out that character, but doesn't add much . The poem is great worldbuilding, but doesn't add much to the books.
  4. If the school knew about the earlier arrest, some heads should roll. Since it happened out-of-state around Spring Break(?), there’s a possibility that the school never knew, but I don’t think that is likely. At this point in time, you’d think every major program would be running a new criminal background check on every player before two-a-days each year as a risk mitigation strategy.
  5. Turpin is suspended pending the school reviewing the facts, at which point he is probably done. Tarrant County DA Sharen Wilson doesn't fuck around. Check out her old profile (as a hanging judge) in the NY Times. DV and innocence claims are her big projects, so this won't go well for Turpin. Plus QB Robinson is having season-ending surgery this week. This has gone from a reloading year (in our dreams) very quickly to a rebuilding year and now to an "Aw hell no" year.
  6. As a white Hispanic, I've found being visibly white; middle-aged; driving a boring, late model car; and, having USAA auto insurance help with cops. It's like they're looking for a reason not to give me a ticket, like that old Dave Chappelle skit.
  7. And yet she was also crying in the courtroom and seemed hurt by Jimmy calling the crying judge an asshole.
  8. The pic looks like Megamind in a Mike Ehrmantraut mask.
  9. Flight of the Navigator is over 30 years old and Disney just had the distribution rights.
  10. At the time, I thought he was nervous because Mike might have them blow the charge early for his earlier transgression.
  11. Or that's when his birthday is.
  12. Charlie Brown has changed since the last time I read the funny papers.
  13. Well-acted and great use of sound and color, but nowhere near as gory as I anticipated and lacking in both sadism and ruthlessness. I suppose an ordinary guy stumbling through a vengeance quest is refreshing compared to the efficiency of a John Wick, but the movie lacked oomph. It had the dramatic tension of Bluto fighting Popeye over Olive Oyl.
  14. There’s no need to discuss John Connor being erased. The last Terminator movie introduced the idea that these are alternate timelines in a multiverse. This was just about the only good thing it did.
  15. If the district says there is no individual school policy, then it seems suspicious that an individual school has a policy. Maybe the district investigates and later sacks or reassigns the school admin?
  16. Especially if the district (or state) has a no-pass, no-play rule.
  17. That depends entirely on where you work and the facts and circumstances. For example, in a state with strong unions, the teacher could have told the principal to fuck off and not gotten fired. Other times, policies may violate the law and create a situation where the employee cannot be fired for refusing to violate the law.
  18. Looks like you missed the last paragraph in the article. There is no minimum grade policy according to the district.
  19. I still have the option to revert on my personal gmail as well as my business gmail.
  20. Unsurprising. At my wife’s school, the admin will change the grades after year end to make more students pass.
  21. John Jay is the college the US Catholic Church hired in 2002 to produce a report on its sex abuse scandal. Easy to see how they were qualified in retrospect.
  22. Speaking of addresses, one night I was taking 281 down to Austin. At some random place, my wife asked what city we were in. I told her that I didn’t think we were in a city at that point. She insisted that we must be in a city. I explained that we’ll always be in a county, but some areas aren’t in a city. You may remember this story, since I told it at the old site. I have an update: My wife and I are at a back to school teacher party recently. She brought up this story and I explained it to the women we were talking to. Guess what, one of them never knew about unincorporated areas either.
  23. I don't know if it is a part of hip hop culture. The most frequent users I see are lower class whites, mostly rednecks with little or no familiarity with hip hop.
