Another funny but true: Emmitt01 thanks for not giving me a speeding ticket, through your fair city, about 8-9 months ago or so, after we started talking about NT. It was obvious who you where, to me, but never did I say I was ee or you may have put me in the slammer. thanks buddy. :rolleyes:

I wonder what the reaction would be if there was a website about what black people like? Bet a few unnamed civil rights leaders would be howling and snarling about it.

The site is run by the writer of the book of the same title. He's white, so that should make it okay. I mean, if a black dude ran a site/wrote a book and titled it "Stuff Black People Like" and wrote it in satire of the stuff city-dwelling blacks wrote, it'd probably be cool.

Though, there's a whole entertainment network that's actually seriously aimed at blacks. It's called BET, and it's the worst thing that's happened to black people since the end of the civil rights movement. I'm sure MLK rolls in his grave everytime someone tunes in.

One of the guys who runs the site is actually Asian. :o

I just knew they were going to destroy us through the economy and the internet...

Always tickles me when satire or humor about white people isn't met with appreciation or laughter for the grain of truth embedded in it...but is rather met with cries of reverse racism or questions of whether it would be funny if on the other foot. We already know the answer to your question in spirit. The portrayal of blacks in mainstream television, film, theater and literature tells us that stereotyping of what "black people are like/like" is clearly very very funny seeing as it is accepted and laughed at/taken as truth so freely.

      What did you pay? I thought individual sessions would be $20-25, and now I'm seeing resale tickets via AAC website for < $10.

      UNT enrollment declining

      I'm sure the Master's programs that UNT is seeing enrollment drops in are the university's top profit center. Their student population probably uses the least amount of on-campus resources during the program compared to undergrads and PhDs, and they're probably overpaying or seeing less student aid usage to be in the programs. The flip side of the coin is that it's entirely possible that people are starting to realize that employers don't really care about Master's level paper as much as they did 20+ years ago. As the state of the world is going this week, if there is a prolonged economic downturn and a depressed hiring market for undergrads, most universities generally see an uptick in kids graduating and keeping on with it into a Master's program. I would advise undergrads that they're lighting money on fire, but if you can't find a job or start paying on loans, it can seem like a real option to keep learning. Will it result in a higher level of pay once they first time enter the workforce? Probably not, especially in today's world of AI threatening lower entry-level jobs, and H-1Bs threatening the rest. But the average Gen X parents will still push University degrees as a solution to all their unemployed kids' problems, just like the Boomer parents did before them.

      Speakeasy Scrappy Hour

      Great bar environment and even better seafood restaurant next door. If you want a killer Italian Meat sandwich, arrive early enough to get one from Enzo's next door. Points if you sneak it into the Wilfred. 😅 Kudos to getting them to change the door pincode. I think it had been set to the year of Woodstock since the Wilfred opened.

      Coach O to Texas State

      Is it lateral if: TX State goes to the PAC-Reboot with one other AAC Team that isn't us Memphis and USF go to the ACC UTEP is in Mountain West We're suddenly playing Sam Houston and Tarleton State in a combined AAC-USA? That's nightmare fuel for me, and seems entirely possible if Mosley keeps on Mosleying along with status quo.
