Storytelling is lies in service of the truth

For the record, I am pro subsidizing farmers, pro child tax credits, pro student loan forgiveness, and pro lots of other 'unfair' tax expenditures that help primarily vulnerable, stuck, or important citizens. And let's not act like the argument that it's actually punishing people who made smarter choices is anything other than total horses#!t. The super-duper smartypants who avoided the pitfall of student loan debt are still paying their taxes no matter what - if it didn't go to loan forgiveness it would go to the military or farming or clean energy or roads or education or something else. The money is already there, it's not "ope now that we made this decision all you citizens need to give us more money to give to these other citizens". There's no punishment; there's only a smarter way of allocating already existing resources that ultimately helps all of us.

Anyone know how I can protest the unfairness that some of my tax money goes to farmers? It's not my fault they chose a profession that can't make money and needs the government to bail them out constantly, don't punish. me for being smart enough to not be a farmer.

Does anyone know who I can talk to about getting all my taxes refunded that went towards paying for the tens of millions of people who get child tax credits? Don't punish me because they chose to have kids.

It's unfair to people who don't live in hurricane zones to punish them by making them bail out people living along the Gulf Coast. They chose to live there.

Everything tax money is used for is unfairly penalizing somebody for something. That's what taxes are.

He's also more behind them than the photo suggests. Funny photo though.

Do you also watch for any time we get favorable officiating?

I'm gonna wait to be glad until he uses that change of mind to actually try and do something about it.

The "is social media bad for us?" conversation is a great and important one to have. I posted this thread months ago and nobody responded to it. Not claiming to know why, or really care, but at the very least I think the article is well worth a read if you have the time.

If he's innocent, then prove it the same way. It's an even easier burden.

Neither would I, and also...nobody did. Why are y'all bringing up Casey's game against Texas when the original comment that started this was Adrian vs Spencer Rattler? Agreed, but that won't stop a massive amount of our fanbase using it as unnecessary ammo to s#!t on Adrian in a direct comparison.

Those are some POOFY beds

Is this in Omaha? Curious about the logistics of traveling from Lincoln eventually overseas, because even Omaha can't really accommodate planes big enough generally speaking.

I think you're confusing getting a blackshirt with being a captain.

It's hard enough to successfully joke with the media when you're a good coach. If you're a coach who can only win 3 games a year at your alma mater with every resource you could possibly hope for, all you're doing is giving people more embarrassing ammo.

The market for down the middle news is sadly not nearly as big as the market for outrage porn and confirmation bias Also, there are down the middle news orgs and that doesn't stop a sizable chunk of right-leaning people from being convinced they're liberal, but I digress.

It's a beautiful looking stadium, I wonder how they're logistically providing locker rooms for full football rosters?

It really doesn't matter. The head coach of a blue blood program making several millions of dollars a year has to have higher social intelligence than giving folks the opportunity to misconstrue something like that. Frost saying something dumb is definitely a better scenario than the alternative of Frost believing in a dangerous unhealthy old-school philosophy of running his players into the ground, but it's still an indictment.

We aren't talking about someone puking at practice once in a while. We're talking about Frost telling the media that our OL group is puking 15-20 times every day. It's a notable enough thing for him to have said. If it was a normal "oh sometimes players puke it happens", it wouldn't be any sort of a deal at all, because people understand that it sometimes happens, and a coach wouldn't ever feel the need to bring it up.

Wait I guess I'm confused a few days ago we saw reports that he was taking the plea but that he would not be cooperating?

Give me a f#&%ing break. Five months in prison and five years probation does not, at all, in any fanciful imagination, guarantee that "today, that misconduct ends" How in the actual f#&% can someone plead guilty to 15 felonies and get five months in prison? That's ten days per felony. And it's a f#&%ing joke.

I doubt it was "just" a few years ago.

That's... Either Frost should not be saying that out loud or making light of it, or he's dramatically misconstruing it to seem like something it isn't, in which case he still should not be saying it out loud. Either way a seventh year head coach should 100% know better.
