Quote from: Thin Red Swine on May 18, 2024, 07:43 PMSo I was wrong. Scheffler is human.

This is set up for a glorious and furious battle to the finish. Fitting for a horse racing town.

I figure Scottie probably screwed up somewhere along the line there, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and that both parties will want this to go away quickly and quietly after the national media spotlight is gone.

I just don't think so.

I openly root against him all the time, solely because l he's a damn Longhorn. So I'm no Scottie lover.

But this would be so out of character and he was operating as he had been the other days leading up to this. It was THE standard procedure and he had no reason to know there had been a fatal accident just before this.

Shaping up to be a great finish........
Check your damn blood pressure!

Absolutely thrilled for Xander. He played his ass off and needed every birdie. That last putt could've spun out but he deserved that good fortune.

I hope Douchebaggo has heartburn all night and cries to his YouTube minions.

And just like that, he's disappeared again into the ether of "I swear to God I'm quitting that place for real this time because they're a bunch of meanies."

Daily Mail reporting that the charges will be dropped tomorrow at the arraignment. 

Now imagine instead of a wealthy golfer that not one single reasonable person in the world believes tried to run over a cop on his way to the course, that it was you or some other a average schmo.  You'd be out thousands and probably eventually have to plead to one of those misdemeanors to avoid a jury trial on a felony and spending thousands more.

And honestly if not for the ESPN car being right there and one of their reporters having the sense to realize what he was witnessing and film a good bit of it, Scheffler would probably be in the same position as one of us, albeit with a lot more money to buy his way out of it.
Perish peacefully in a warm environment.

I've met Cerdo and he's a very nice guy but I'm never sure where he's going to land on Woopig socio-political issues other than he really, really, really hates Trump and he really, really, really loves women.

It a strange phenomenon for me when I see it here..having only joined the WP in 2007. Many of the same guys who gave me the business as a newb have all but disappeared citing "group think," which was responsible for the hostile culture they created.

It really has been like watching the bullies turn into giant pussies as they aged. It's a shame, but oh well. Life goes on.

That is the entire history of woo pig. The fakest tough guys even left to start their on board.

The Whyte Boar

They're just a bunch of butt hurt pussies because the board went from being quite liberal to conservative/MAGA.  That's the heart of it.  They could dish out the snark but when it got shoved back in their faces with a helping of MAGA, they got triggered and ran off to circle jerk each other on a new board.

There's no "running away".... but do you guys really feel like Woopig these days is that interesting of a place to spend a ton of time?
The negativity here is off the charts.  It's not enjoyable to dialogue or listen to the world is going to hell in a handbasket.  It isn't.  Do you not notice that a lot of the posters who weren't political aren't coming around either?  You guys make everything political because that's what Trump weirdness has done to you.  You guys made that bridge getting hit by a boat political. You made a worldwide pandemic political. 
 
I can name loads of non political posters that don't post here anymore but you guys let this weird couple of guys who obsess over me (also very weird) draw your ire to me.  So be it.

History is going to judge this cultish behavior decades from now as just rampant emotion that flies in the face of fact.  I have no idea what board you're talking about and honestly don't care.  Keep on being angry.  It's going to suck more for you every year the more bitter you get.

I appreciate the fact that you are one of the few people on here that keeps a somewhat consistent path politically based off your values.  You and, ironically, One Quarter, who was the original Trump guy. Policy should be discussed.  Politics is just bloodsport and can certainly be fun to discuss if people understood that it's just politics and phony.

As one that was gone for a few years and came back shortly before the fall of .net, I can say that I noticed a pretty big attitude change for sure. The "check your cup" type posts (which always seemed like more hazing than mean spirited at the time) were traded for posts that looked more like personal attacks.

One thing that is outright surprising (largely because I always saw the mean avg of the board as above average in the critical thinking department) is when I see posters take what amounts to little more than rumors, and they add a whole mess of fabricated context in order to leap to their unsubstantiated conclusions.

Cool. I try not to get too emotional about the WP. Life's too short.

So those goofy fucks are going through with the trial?  Because of one shitty officer who needs a different job?

Back muh blue.
"That's embarrassing.  Looks like Josh Duggar the first time his parents asked him to babysit."

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Once authored a post that critics claimed, "Was notaslibro level."

Really?  Back when the BMFP bike wreck story was leaking out I got caught trying to check Woopig during sex.  That girlfriend was not happy.

It shocks me to see the skepticism completely gone.  Remember when your grandparents discovered email and then started forwarding every crazy thing they'd read to everyone?  The same vibe here now. 

The personal attacks got old.  There will be 3 completely crazy people that will go nuts on this thread about me and I still suspect two of them are the same guy with two different handles, honestly.  The old WP would have run off some of the ones who built up the fake personalities.... although we had plenty of those back then too. 

I remember my first involvement on this board was tangling with that rug guy and the guy who made up shit all of the time... maybe his handle was "truth".  There was no hazing for me because I was straight up honest about who I was.  Both of those guys messaged me privately later and turned out they were kind of normal but living way too much of their lives through internet personas.   That's never stopped here, it's just different internet personas now.

But they are free thinkers!!

Politics is the new religion. Meanwhile, their lord and savior is running a massive scam with Truth Social.

Hilarious that you guys think Trump is a cause instead of a symptom.  Shows how out of touch you are.
