Hi, Texan here. I’ve seen a lot of this over the last few days and it frustrates me. Y’all know that 43% of voting Texans voted for Hillary, right? And Houston (currently underwater!) went blue? https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/texas?mcubz=0 

I’m probably a terrible fucking person

My initial reaction would be to tell him he ought to be ashamed of this record, to take some pride in himself and work to get better. But coming from me, I doubt he’d listen. After all, who am I to Judge?

nein games.

They are all “facts” once you identify their aims and biases

I watched an episode of that Unabomber series. (review: It sucks.) But I did learn of a legal term, Fruit of the poisonous tree, which essentially states if the source of the evidence is tainted, then all evidence gained from it, no matter the merits, is equally tainted.

1834 wins worth of shitty manager, good for 16th all time!

Given a good portion of them are saying racist things, including actual WWII era Nazi slogans, I’d say the ones who are “protectin muh herituge” might be in the wrong crowd.

I respect that Lane Kiffin doesn’t take himself seriously, unlike many universities.

While I like the shade in your last line...this isn’t really about wealthy people vs wealth people. I don’t think the Chengs are all that wealthy compared to the people who live on that street - otherwise they wouldn’t be trawling government auctions.

Somebody’s got to go back and get a shitload of dimes!

That’s not a real accurate statistic to use in this context. It includes kids that died in their crib, at age 5, 10, 15, etc. We’re talking about how football has effected his life. What’s the life expectancy of a world class 20 year old athlete who doesn’t spend his 20s and 30s playing professional football? What…

This is the dumbest hill to die on here

Same. Had no hesitation about watching football for 30 years, then starting last year I found myself starting to question it—player health and the league response, oligarch conspiracy vs Kaep, owner-friendly player contracts, Goodell. I’ll probably still watch some this year but I kind of see it fade away for me over…

Penn State and Baylor really are the Shaq and Duncan of terrible universities. At its peak you just couldn’t top Penn State. An unstoppable force of atrocities. But Baylor is just so fundamentally rotten. Degrading murder victims, covering up rapes. There are no holes in their game. You get the sense they could be an…

I feel his disappointment; despite the Astros’ record, they’re hinging a lot of Keuchel getting healthy and McCullers and McHugh righting the ship. As a Dodgers fan, part of the reason they get boned in October is because they have deep enough rotations to win divisions, but not postseasons, to where Mattingly and…

“Offensive explosion in his 30s”? His age-20 and -21 seasons were historically good for that age, his age-25 season was his best ever, and (like everyone and their mother) had excellent seasons at 27, 28, 29. Yeah he’s better in his 30s - that’s what great players do. Especially players who make it as regulars in the…

Try being a dodger fan, still angry thirteen years later that he was summarily dismissed. Adrian...

I wonder if they thought “Man In The High Castle” was very successful so alt history stuff might be hot right now?
