FoolyCharged posted:Eh, it's not like all Texas schools must have the same accreditation. It's just a third party vouching that you're actually teaching people the poo poo you say you are. As long as people hiring your grads accept it no one cares. Right, but it was something really stupid like trying to get regional accreditation from NE regional group or some poo poo. Googling for University of Austin stuff, even exact syntax matching, all I get is UT poo poo. Something I am sure they deliberately were trying to do. And I don't care enough to go digging deep enough to try and find it.

Now that Ted Kennedy is dead and they no longer have to deal with the association between Kennedy and Liberals, they can start to fully imagine the Kennedys as part of the Republican/QAnon fold. As for why Jr and not JFK himself, it's a smaller logical leap to imagine that the plane crash no one saw was faked rather than the assassination that everyone saw (over and over and over) didn't happen.

Note, this doesn't mean they don't believe that JFK didn't fake his public assassination and secretly accepted control of the presidency from Trump under the law that allows presidents to hand control over to former presidents.

I just had a flashback to the "conspiracy a-go-go" scene in Slacker. Then that reminded me that a guy I used to work with at UT way back in the early-00s who was basically the real-life version of that character. He'd come into our computer lab to scan in archive photos of Oswald and stuff for his books (he had published several books on the topic), and would absolutely talk your ear off about the assassination if you let him. See, that's the thing with Austin "weird". It generally gets conflated with liberalism or leftism or being "a blue dot in a sea or red" or whatever. And there is plenty of that. But Austin's weird, first and foremost, was just weird. There are just a lot of crazy folks here, mixed in freely with the artists and the musicians and the academics and the slackers and everybody else.

Dameius posted:There is a reason Alex Jones fit in as basically normal there for so long. My intro to Alex Jones was in the early 2010s from an elderly black coworker who was apolitical, didn't trust government or vote, was into conspiracy theories, talked about anti-black racism a lot, very into exercise, and ate highly specific vegan diets. I know he didn't vote in 2016, but the clear association of Alex Jones with Trump, the Republicans, and white nationalism definitely veered from my initial exposure to the guy. Conspiracy theorists, of course - but not specifically white Republicans. Badger of Basra posted:Is she the one nobody likes She's one of them, yeah. Someone I know who worked for her said she was hard to work for - chaotic, yelled at staff (I know that sounds like a given, but some offices are way worse than others, some aren't as bad as bosses as you'd assume). She never passed a bill, or even came close, in two sessions because she didn't get along with folks. Sometimes she is good at being the person who will be hated for doing or saying something correct, so not all bad. But running for higher office is embarrassing here - not that that stops most legislators from running for Congress.

As a constituent I found her to be very communicative and that helps a lot at the local level in terms of re-election. The legislative effectiveness stuff usually doesn't make the news. On the political sphere, she pissed off enough people around here that there was at least one city-level Democratic politician that endorsed the Republican lmao I asked that politician what was going on and it turns out she completely failed at the back scratching exercises that is required in this hosed up system while the republican candidate did the bare minimum with local level outreach, etc

I think there's an important balance though that if other Dems can't work with you, then at some point being adversarial as your default doesn't help. All that said, even if you are a "constituent services are most important to me" voter, the lieutenant governor is then worst position for you as a politician. The lieutenant governor mostly runs the Senate, not much else.

FoolyCharged posted:"A couple who has not previously been sexually active and who is faithful to each other" No they mean what they said. If you go to a church you can simply give money to the guy screaming about Biden and he can wipe away all of your past mistakes with a baptism. That solves the “previously been” part. And then the “is faithful to each other” part can be solved by pointing out that boys will be boys unless you’re a democrat. jokes fucked around with this message at 05:02 on Nov 18, 2021 |

But the verb still needs to show agreement with the subject, e.g. " ...who are faithful to each other. "

Maybe it’s like a Jerry Seinfeld question “and who is faithful to each other?”

radical meme posted:Holy poo poo, he looks young. How does someone become that radicalized at such a young age? I was radicalized as a neo Nazi at like 13. Started with YouTube , conspiracies involving the jews and black people mostly, and griefing online games for hella years. Lots of hard R n words spammed and yelled. Seriously there are more "nstomper1488s" than your think. And they are a goo monster with little sects all over the place slowly radicalizing other young kids on the internet. Racists objective is to get others to be racist to carry on the torch of their horrific beliefs. It took a loooooooooong time for me to completely shed that poo poo from my psyche. (i will literally regret this for my entire life so spare me the chastising)
