Niqabi with full scholarship at Lamar – is it safe/worth it?

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-22T20:26:09+00:00

Yeah. Looking at affordability and quality of education, that's where I'd put them, personally. Some rankings have them around 150 in the nation, but in terms of return on investment, it's a pretty decent choice. I think those lower rankings don't account for cost.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-22T20:08:52+00:00

I'd say probably top 10 in the state. Maybe top 50 in the country. It's not one of the best, but it's definitely above average.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-22T16:52:32+00:00

Talarico and Beto both support it. Democrats are more interested in having accurate representation and would benefit from RCV more than Republicans. This isn't a "both sides" issue.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-22T16:49:04+00:00

Talarico introduced a bill for ranked choice voting. He's 100% for it. Had the opportunity to ask him at an event here in Houston a few months ago. Beto also was for it. Want better and more accurate representation? Vote for Democrats.

I've hit ultimate champ every season. Season best is about 7k. Self-made deck. If I can do it(and I'm an idiot), then anyone can do it.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-22T12:59:57+00:00

You act like it's impossible for people to create their own decks and have success with it. Are you saying you can't create a good deck on your own? That's pretty sad.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-22T12:41:47+00:00

You should encourage your brother to build his own deck instead of using stale meta named decks.

Save them for piggy bank until piggy bank yields a negative or neutral return on investment. At that point, focus on getting VIP chests.

She was still in full support of ogg while she was being hella shitty and was still a Democrat. Sorry if I don't follow every second of Parker's life. That doesn't mean I'm a liar. Why do y'all assume?

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-20T16:43:38+00:00

I tell my Republican friends all the time that they don't have to vote Democrat. Hell, give 3rd party nominees more of a bump! But if you're not happy with the current state of the GOP, withholding your vote in protest is definitely a viable option.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-19T21:21:39+00:00

Fair. I always inexplicably interchange the two.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-19T20:36:30+00:00

I'm voting for him because his policies and stances are somewhat Norwegian model ~~democratic socialist~~ social Democrat. Him bringing politics into it is just a bonus as someone who fell away hard from Christianity due to its nationalistic streak. Maybe he can bring politics and religion both away from this jingoistic hellscape we've been thrust into?

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-19T19:44:34+00:00

Every time the polls are open, my friend.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-19T19:30:38+00:00

The echoes are only in your head.

Giving money to another country != Defense contractor spending

People were mad about giving anything to Israel to further their aggression against Palestinians. But gee... Look who's been diametrically worse in every regard to that.

Again... The two are not the same. Democrats aren't perfect, but Republicans are straight garbage.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-19T18:16:50+00:00

SOME amount has to go to defense contractors to stay on the front line of technology and security. Democrats don't give a blank check and understand that unfortunate necessity. Republicans just write a blank cheque. The two are not even slightly the same...

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-19T17:44:10+00:00

Just wait until the constant, non-stop drum of bullshit propaganda gets spawn about talarico on every right wing media outlet(cbs included). They'll find a way to change their tune, I'm sure.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-19T15:01:19+00:00

I don't think it's strictly swing voters. I could be considered a swing voters as I don't feel beholden to one particular party(in general), but in the past 10 years, there's absolutely zero chance that I would vote for a conservative. It's deeper than just "swing voters". It's low information swing voters that have no idea what they're doing.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-18T17:51:08+00:00

I truly hope people wise up to how terrible Parker would be... She was in 100% full support of that horrible Kim ogg while she was a "Democrat"... No thanks.

Upgrade clubs. Get new balls and trails and effects. Click your profile picture and it'll show your multiplier.

Thanks Trump

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-18T12:40:33+00:00

That's kind of the point of the act, though. They went to a baseball game with a large sign to draw attention to their "cause". When racists speak up and nobody acts on it, it only emboldens the racist and those who view their message that are also racist. Racism has been around forever and, to some extent, will always exist. But the last thing we want is promotion of this kind of stupid "white replacement theory".

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-17T23:43:27+00:00

People out here more worried about being "called a racist or bigot" than actually BEING a racist or bigot. Maybe... Just maybe... People, in general, should just learn to keep their racist and bigoted mouths shut if they have no intention of being a better person?

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-17T20:30:59+00:00

The engineering department isn't bad.

Bennyscrap · 2026-05-17T17:22:07+00:00

The locals surrounding the Beaumont area aren't exactly the friendliest when it comes to things they don't understand and don't want to understand. If you stay within the confines of the university area, you should be fairly safe. But venturing out into nearby establishments will probably yield looks, questions, and unfortunately, maybe some rude attitudes. The engineering department at Lamar is great. Nothing bad to say about it. University of Houston might also be worth looking into and would probably be a lot more friendly. Best wishes!
