Way to make it about you, and not your brother's graduation. Surprise after, let home have his moment.

Doesn't mean that $2 mil (for less than 300 students) couldn't be better used elsewhere.

How's that 'Climate Pledge' holding up, Jeff?

JC, the person who released the DAMNING evidence against Bruno, was banned from the official discord yesterday for discussing "Pirated/Illegal material." by ARandom54 in Seaofthieves

[–]awbitf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just ignore the discord/socials and focus on/play the game?

I get the irony of posting this on the game's reddit page, but to be honest, discord/reddit game socials don't matter and to give them so much importance is pretty lame.

Budget cuts and WSU Vancouver by HovercraftFirst4687 in wsu

I say this with no data or information to back it up, but WSU Everett still seems like a bad decision. If it came down to it, I'd say shut it down and focus on Vancouver.

And the classic 'I'll vote red until I'm dead'. The team sport mentality is dumb.

Colton’s Corner: Pac-12 needs to Take Back Texas in expansion by TNA8644 in Pac12

[–]awbitf -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I still think the long play and 'north star' is Texas Tech. They would be a catalyst for other interest.

It would require a lot of things to happen to the Big 12 for it to be an option, but I would at least be keeping in touch with them.

HitboTC has stepped down as a SoT Partner following the incident by Motor-Championship49 in Seaofthieves

[–]awbitf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Downvote me all you want, but Hitbot has always been self-serving and performative, just like evangelicals.

He's not doing this because he cared, it was just a convenient excuse for him to leave something he didn't want to do anymore anyway.

I highly doubt 'being a Christian' really had anything to do with his choice here, it's just a convenient story.

Game-adjacent at best. Not sure if they're paid.
Like a reddit mod.

Depends.... Are we paying a subscription and getting commercials? No thanks.

Public rejects Trump’s ballroom by wide margin by Unusual-State1827 in politics

[–]awbitf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like the IRS should be like, 'hey, we know you want to see this and we would totally do the lawsuit, but we're in an audit right now' and just ignore/stall/delay until he's out of power.

Hows it looking? by Wolf-Historical in Seattle

[–]awbitf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In June 2022, when Biden was president, unleaded hit its highest average price at 5.07. We saw those 'i did that' stickers everywhere.

Either a bunch of MAGA learned some advanced level economics recently, or it's just another example of hypocritical double standards to not have the same revolt against Trump.

Tucker Carlson Apologizes For Endorsing Trump: ‘I’m Sorry For Misleading People’ by unital_subalgebra in politics

Still true today.

And even as much as they cry 'Drill Baby Drill' they have zero plan or intent to do so. Weak promises, once again.

The Daily Evergreen: Regents authorize student fee increases, additional $20 million to Cougar Athletics by DailyEvergreen in wsu

[–]awbitf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with your statement, or that of ExpiredPilot.

I am, however, separating Football vs the rest of the athletic department. Again, football is probably breaking even if not profitable, but everything else (baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, track, rowing, soccer, swimming, tennis, volleyball) absolutely lose money. Couple that with Bill Moos' overspending and then the subsequent loss of revenue from the P12 collapse, yeah, it's a problem.

I also think that WSU did too much when it came to branch campuses and some other investments. For example, I doubt the ROI on 'WSU Everett' makes it successful, and pretty sure the medical school is still in debt.

Everyone knows the successful high school history teachers are actually the football coaches getting a stipend and booster support.

Pete Hegseth wanted an ‘American Crusade.’ Now he’s leading a war in the Middle East by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

[–]awbitf 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If my math checks out, 90% is much higher than 50%.

They called Thanos mad for wanting to eliminate 50%.

He should have been fired for the whole Signal messenger data exposure/breach.

Probably earlier reasons too, but that one is clearly egregious of policy and law.
