This is common parlance for "your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven". That's what it means. Very cool that it's an opportunity to participate and manifest our highest ideals around us.

That was Tim Beck's first ever drive as an OC. I remember being beyond excited with the news/info of the offense he was going to run and then we went ahead and had the fastest and lamest 3 and out for an OC's first drive ever hahaha. I did love his scheme though.

Nah, mothers should be happy because that kid has a 100% chance of going to heaven, but if they lived and grew into adulthood and accountability, odds are overwhelmingly against them never getting saved and going to hell.

PRO STYLE?!?! Like Mike Riley and Bill Callahan!? YUCK

Reminds me of one of my favorite stand-up bits by Patton Oswald, breaking down the abomination of a 'song' that is Christmas Shoes:

There's still time. Casey and Trey didn't decide to transfer here until Jan 7/8 last year.

For the people that don't like him, it's a combo of how he enabled Frost to the dire detriment of the program, made a cushy career coasting off of 'The Catch', and has only semi-successfully hidden his burgeoning MAGA support over the last few years. He also got notably worse in his color commentary job over the years - with the most recent seasons being full of a lot of silence and moans or groans in lieu of actual words.

Whether it's getting tiresome or not to people who conveniently spent a long period of their life never having to think about such things has nothing to do with the actual answer to the question.

Is there anything in the dominant culture of the United States that's been around for 150 years that doesn't have at least some entanglement in a racist past?

Trust your instinct. Those are the same thing

There is a difference. There's a lot of differences. Also for clarity, that 200,000 number isn't people - it's encounters. And according to the CBP about 20% of the people crossing have done or tried it before (Title 42 has directly led to thousands of migrants to cross multiple times). DHS officials estimate that the recidivism rate during some parts of the year was as high as 38%. That number is also not the number of people that "successfully snuck in" - it includes everyone who presented themselves for asylum, and everyone caught and turned back as well.

I'm really not criticizing at all, more just talking in abstract. And it's not really a matter of 'more', just style.

Anyone else feel pretty 'meh' about these McMansions? Don't get me wrong, if I had it I'd certainly be pretty stoked at my lot in life, but neither of those houses are anything close to what my dream house would look like if I could snap my fingers.

I mean... I doubt there's any chance in the world but man if we got the #1 overall and #5 overall players in the same class that'd essentially instantly be the best class in school history. Also interesting that he tweeted that from Lincoln

You can build the wall 50 feet high, you could make the wall three layers deep, you could bury it 30 feet underground and you could make a moat with alligators and those desperate and opportunistic enough will still find ways in. Nobody is opposed to a sensible and diligent physical boundary...it's the primary focus on the physical barricade while simultaneously kicking the can down the road in regards to handling motivations/opportunities that continues to exacerbate the broken cycle of US immigration. Neither party is presenting smart and holistic solutions to this, and both have plenty of guilt in terms of weaponizing the issue and using it to score cheap political points. It's weird and very lazy when people who clearly identify with one of the sides to spend their time pointing at the ways the other side isn't fixing anything while theirs is also not fixing anything.

Completely ignoring your last half dozen or so posts in this thread trying to make points about things that are distinctly not the real or whole story, the last time I tried to have an honest conversation with you specifically regarding immigration, I had three posts in a row offering perspective and answers to questions that you seemingly weren't interested in and never responded to . There's a very compelling argument that sealing up the border has actually made things much worse. A few decades ago most people illegally crossing the border only did so seasonally for work, and then headed back home. Clinton's IIRIRA bill, designed to cut down on illegal immigration, ballooned the problem and backfired horribly. There were a lot of parts to it, but the 3 and 10 year bars (if you'd lived here undocumented 6 months or more, you had to leave and be barred for 3 years before applying for lawful citizenship, if for more than 1 year, same thing but barred for 10 years). This even applied retroactively to people married to US citizens, people with work visas, sponsored by family, etc. The idea was the punishments would be so severe to deter people doing it, but as we see all the time, punishment is not a deterrent, and it instead just incentivized people to stay undocumented. Undocumented people were about 50% likely to return back to Mexico before 1996, and now there's a nearly 0% statistical likelihood of them leaving. Number of undocumented immigrants has also more than doubled since then. No response. There's no documented correlation or causation between rate of illegal immigration and how much or how little we have addressed security. Our government has done a lot to address security. Operation Hold the Line, Operation Gatekeeper, anti smuggling units, BORSTAR, the BSI, formation of ICE, the DHS, etc. All within the last 30 years. Not to mention Border Security spending has gone from $263 million to $5 billion since 1990. No response. Creating less incentive to cross or stay illegally and creating more incentive to be able to get access legally. No response.

Not Captain Pedantic once again steering us off course. Glad to see the cruelty and performative political stunt + performative religious piety are not lost on most.

Politicians who invoke Christianity for cred and votes then pull a political stunt involving the dehumanizing/disrespect of immigrants on THE Christian holiday which is coincidentally centered around a story of immigrants being denied and dehumanized strikes a particular 'hypocrite' bell. Even if she wanted to there's no way on earth Secret Service would ever allow it to happen.

Don't get your hopes up. Patrick Witt Patrick O'Brien Johnny Stanton Kody Spano Brion Carnes AJ Bush Zack Darlington Tristan Gebbia the list goes on and on of backups with "potential" we've overhyped based on nothing other than wishful thinking

How the hell am I supposed to know if some alleged theoretical scandal is boring or not until I read the mundane tweet thread? If I would have known where it ended before I clicked, I wouldn't have clicked. That's why I do the public service of tl;dr-ing it for others so they don't waste their time too.

Happy Toyotathon to all who observe, otherwise Happy Honda Days.

Technically yes. Functionally? Barely a whisper. Frost clearly insisted on a lot of the run package install..as we saw plenty of orbit motions and window dressing for an option/read option game in the first three games. Those almost completely disappeared once Frost was fired and Whip went more air raid.

Some random person on twitter thinks some other random person on twitter is a grifter lying about being hacked, and his main reason for thinking so is that she didn't allegedly pay the hackers $400 to get her account back. Pretty boring.

This is a declaration that our program is going to be a place where recruits come in, get a degree, win championships and then make it to the NFL.

Doubtful he's stepping down without pressure. It's no secret that Ricketts thinks he's trying to woke-ify the campus, and it's too bad. Especially because we've seen the cancerous impact a bad chancellor can have.
