  1. My wife's folks had the place in Tahoe, and no they finally sold it.
  2. His shiftiness and vision is what made him special. He was thinking two moves ahead and setting them up like a RB. Just an amazing player who possessed otherworldly ability to elevate his play at the right time.
  3. Derka in the wine and cheese seats. Everytime I sit there I get hassled.
  4. This will be a long read but worth it. My wife is gorgeous. Still. The envy of women everywhere. She grew up in a 6200 sq ft house in the Lake Tahoe area. Her parents were neighbors with Captain and Tenille. Family took month long European vacations when she was growing up. She first broke 1 minute 400 when she was 12. She went on to run the 400 and 800 in college. She was a forward on the basketball team. Life came easy for her. I told people she looks like Wonder Woman and I wasn't joking. Pics taken a couple years back and modified for obvious reasons. I came from the other side of the tracks, but my mom was determined to make sure the struggle ended with her. Being originally from the north, mom wouldn't allow me to adopt any southern vernacular. She made sure, early on, that we went to good schools by finding the poorest place to live zoned to it. After that my athletic ability got me in places I shouldn't have been. Us olds know how that goes. In high school I was captain of both the football and basketball teams, and won the athlete of the year trophy. I said all that to say this. The wife and I never knew failure growing up socially. We were both among the best athletes at our perspective schools and that came with a certain amount of social acceptance. I went off to college, got an education, and did all the things they tell you to do. Get a nice house in a nice burb. Send your kids to a nice school. Make sure they want for nothing. I did all that. What they don't tell you is what to do if they aren't accepted. We live in a lily white suburb that votes primarily Republican. As you all know, since Trump has been in office being racist and cruel has become more fashionable. No one bothers me because I am 6'2, 220lbs, square shouldered, and black. However, recently my wife was in a conversation with some older people and they got on the topic of children, like older people like to do. They asked to see a pic of our daughter and as soon as she showed them the picture they told her she was going to hell for marrying me, a black guy. Fucking 2025, people still talk like that. My daughter has had it the worst. She is everything my wife was at her age. Strong athlete. Tall. Beautiful. However, because she is growing up in the Trump era her experience has been totally different. I moved them from LA to Texas when she was finishing up elementary school. Kids are downright cruel in Texas. I know kids are always bad, but these MAGA kids are far worse. She came home talking about hearing racial slurs on a monthly basis. Depression was real. She started cutting and doing other things depressed kids do. We got her help. It got a little better but she was still in and out. She wanted to date but boys at school would ask her out, and then later say they weren't allowed. We knew why. She got a scholarship to play college vball but it felt like she was going to crash and burn at any moment. Then it hit me. I asked myself "the fuck are you doing?" I had been doing what the world said I was supposed to do but not truly listening to my daughter's cries for help. So me and my wife started looking for property in a blue state close to where our daughter was going to college. We moved her up this summer and she is finishing her senior year there. It's like night and day. Kids at school share her views. She has friends of all ethnic backgrounds. She has her first boyfriend, and his family is not MAGA. She is just so much happier. We are happy it worked out, and mad at ourselves for not doing it sooner. We allowed a lot of emotional damage to happen that could've been avoided. We own a business so I've been down here by myself trying to make the transition. I've missed a lot but seeing my daughter blossom has been awesome, even if we've had to make some short term sacrifices.
  5. Section 8, Article 12 of the rulebook states that if you want to date a black woman you must seek the nearest barber for a fresh lineup. Which is why Travis Kelce had one for a short time.
  6. Thatguy replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
    Careful or you will be attacked by the 9.95 mob. Gotta read from the sheet of pre-written company responses.
  7. Hahaha, Derka sometimes I forget you from the 'Ville.
  8. I know I'm late to the party because DT and all but this video is evidence of murder. Dude gets out of his car and walks around the vehicle. You can see his cell phone in the reflection. He encounters the driver who is super friendly. Up to this point the cell phone is in his right hand. As soon as the passenger starts insulting him is the moment he decided he was going to find a reason to escalate the situation. Everything from that point on is him trying to create a situation for him to discharge his firearm. The soon to be passenger starts insulting him and he immediately switches the phone to his left hand to reach for his gun. Then he intentionally places himself in front of their car, and even though he can see her backing up and turning the wheel to the right to get out of there. From the other angle you can see him drawing his gun even before she gets going forward. This is a dude who was angry that he was insulted and clearly was looking for any reason to get payback.
  9. Correct. They go silent, but rest assured who they will be pulling the lever for come November.
  10. My wife's dad is from Minneapolis and has Fox on all day at his house, and even he and all her family up there are cringing at what's going on. Can't ignore it when it's outside your window.
  11. The timing of this story is curious. My worry is that this story is fake and it will be used as proof that all the stories from the Eptstein era regarding Trump are also fake.
  12. You have it all wrong. ICE is scared of us. If you are paying attention they aren't going in the hood to pick off people. No, they are terrified. When they start coming for black people they arent going to do it in places like NY,LA, and Chicago. They will start where they have the support of the surrounding people like in the south. Chicago and LA? You are gonna need a good supply of body bags.
  13. Yep. Simple mathematics. We are 14% of the population, and the way you see the population turning its back on immigrants will be the same way they will turn their back on us.
  14. Here I sit in a big empty house as I type this getting it ready to put on the market. Moved my ladies to a blue state at the beginning of the school year. I will be up there permanently in 10 days. When I was younger and studied the Holocaust, I always marveled at all the warning signs that the Jews ignored. I told myself if I ever found myself in that situation I would not ignore those signs. So we are out of Texas and have ourselves positioned to jet when it hits the fan. I firmly believe we are about to repeat an ugly stretch of history that nobody thought we would ever see again. Being one of the ethnicities that would be headed for the trains, I am not going to stay around to see what happens. When they turn towards black people I'm out, and we are close to that now.
  15. Yep. We usually stayed right there because the event was always at the Mandalay Bay convention center and you could either walk or take the rail. Club vball is stay to play, so the club would reserve a block of rooms and you had to stay where ever that was. The year we stayed at the Excaliber I was fucking pissed. The rooms were like 70's carpet. Popcorn ceilings. The toilet paper holder was that thin tin metal shit you used to see at Waffle House. Shame when Waffle House has upgraded their shit before you. The Johnny Rockets was more expensive than the one I ate at on a cruise ship. 22 bucks for a burger. When my daughter was 14 we were walking to the convention center and in front of swoops some showgirls handing out flyers in nothing but shoes, thongs, pasties, and feathered wings. We are a group of Texas Bible Belt girls. The mom were pissed! Hahaha. I thought about pulling out my phone but it wouldn't have been received well by our group.
  16. I appreciate you and commend you for your strong belief in that some of those people can be redeemed. I guess my tank for that his zero long ago. We talk about the Southern Strategy that started with Goldwater then Reagan perfected it. But as far as black people are concerned there was always a "Southern Strategy". Long before the R's were doing it the D's were doing it. What do you think FDR was doing with redlining and Restrictive Covenants being built into the FHA? Black people were excluded from the original 1935 Social Security Act. Black people were excluded from getting subsidies in the 1933 Agriculture Adjustment Act. All done to appease the south. Reagan was just another name in a long list of political leadership using the mistreatment of our community to gain or stay in power. Rinse and fucking repeat. Nothing has changed there. What has changed is the DOJ being openly partisan, being a weapon for, and answering directly to POTUS. People attacking the Capitol at the direction of POTUS. The Supreme Court giving POTUS unlimited power. Congress protecting POTUS on multiple front on issues that warrant immediate removal from office. POTUS attacking media and threatening them through the FCC. The executive branch completely ignoring our Constitution at every turn. The Executive branch creating it's own paramilitary to punish and intimidate the populace. All of these things are unprecedented, and a huge percentage of the populace is all for it. Maybe I'm just a little too cynical. Maybe I just don't have the energy to believe in people anymore.
  17. Evil does that to you
  18. Lol. I guess that sounded bad. You are correct sir! My bad. It's just ET was one of the best to ever do it. Gideon WAS good though. No doubt there either.
  19. I'm sure a lot of the football world is asking why take a step back, but dude is gonna get so much game from Boom. It could be the moment that defines his career for the better.
  20. I mean he played next to ET so he knows what good looks like.
  21. Bozo, did you forget who you are talking to, and what color I am my friend? You might as well be trying to teach me the effects of lotion and how important it is for me to use it only a daily basis. Of course I know where he was standing, it's historical significance, and what he was trying to say. Before you knew what racism was I was already dealing with it. I was 8 and my brother was 5. My dad took us to the mall. There was a small rv parked in the middle. Me and my lil bro went in there to check it out and the guy showing it literally picked my 5 year old brother up and threw him out while saying, "get out of here little ni**er". My dad knocked his ass out and we hustled out of there. Walking home from school somebody threw a half full slurpie from a moving car, hitting me in the face while they screamed the N word. That's how it was if you were black back in the era you are talking about. So don't tell me whether it was more open or not. You weren't the one getting harassed by law enforcement. You weren't the one getting called racial slurs. All older black people know where Reagan kicked off his campaign and the significance of it. Growing up black you were taught to drive a little further to an inhabited area if you ever got stopped. Keep your head down if ever law enforcement is talking to you and yes sir mo sir. Older black people taught you what everything meant and gave you the game to survive. We knew what was going on because if you weren't aware it could be your life. I said all that to say this. Reagan was working the Southern Strategy by starting his campaign at the Neshoba County Fair. It was a political move to win the south. It was a calculated dogwhistle devised by campaign strategist Lee Atwater. In 1973 Trump was being sued for not renting to blacks. In 1989 he took out ads calling for the death penalty of the Central Park 5. Trump's attacks on Obama's intelligence and citizenship. For decades Trump has been talking about Eugenics and Racehorse Theory. They are sending us drug dealers and rapists. They are eating the cats and dogs. Fine people on both sides. They are poisoning the blood of the country. Trump was a Nazi and Fascist long before politics. He isn't dog whistling for votes, or dog whistling at all. These are his actual beliefs said loud and proud. He truly wants minorities eradicated, which is why a Nazi like Joseph Goebbels, whoops, I mean Stephen Miller, not only gravitated to him, but was allowed in his cabinet. Twice! For the first time in our history we have a Fascist government with Nazis in our cabinet and a dictator as a President, but you want us to believe it's always been like this. Come on bro. We had a full on Insurrection on January 6th 2021. If you voted for this, which in my opinion, is the worst moment in our history as a country, you are not redeemable. I say this as a friend and an ally.
  22. Room rates quadruple when there are big events in town. My daughter played in the Red Rock Rave National Qualifier and a regular room is 250. Come back on a regular day and that same room is 50-60. It's gotten completely out of hand. Along with all the other stuff you stated. The fucking Excaliber is 220 a room during events, and that place is a shit hole.
  23. You might think it's the same but it's not the same. There have always been racists. But there have not always been Nazis. This post is why I used the Steve Irwin reference. These people looked at this man after all the vile shit. The open talking about Eugenics. The poisoning the blood of the people. The 4 years of open and blatant lying. The making fun of a disabled person. The chaos of the last administration.The obvious grifting and corruption. They looked at all of that and still pulled the lever. That is not the same as pulling the lever for Reagan the second time. This is an unapologetically evil human being. People who pulled the lever for him not only knew what they were getting, they pulled it two more times, and at a higher rate each time. They are applauding the shit going on. You know how I know? Because when they are in anonymous spaces they are loud and proud about it.
