re: I've had my surround sound system since 2022, is it time for an upgrade?

Is it broken or are you unhappy with it?
I’ve had mine since about 2015 and it still does fine. It’s not too of the line at all (cost maybe $300 at the time).
But I also don’t care about upgrading something just because someone else thinks I should either.
No it's not broken but I do have connectivity issues ocassionally. But it's an easy fix. Just a simple techno refresh. And it looks new, I keep it clean and shiney. It's a Sony Dolby

Posted by PelicanState87 on 7/2/26 at 12:11 pm
I didn't pay it off until 2023. I'm curious how long most people keep their surround sound systems nowadays? Has technology advanced a lot since 2022? I don't know
re: UNO officially returns to LSU New Orleans

LSU is headed in this direction.
When they still have not posted common data set for fall 2025 freshman or the Spring 2026 enrollment at a glance numbers you can bet the % of the new fall 2025 freshman submitting ACTs dropped even lower and the demographics of the undergraduates on campus in the Spring got less white than the fall numbers were.
That increase in application submissions for this fall is likely to be mostly made up of blacks hoping to get scholarships based on inflated grades while ACTs still not required for anyone. This class is still basically Tate’s with a lot offers placed before new leaders started.
LSU had done irreparable damage removing ACT all those years. That created a negative repuation that's hard to shake off with simply reimplementing the ACT. LSU is gonna be forced to cater to a problematic student body to keep their numbers up and university running. But it's gonna be disguised as DEI and equity

I wish they were able to keep their previous branding. They could've kept the old UNO brand ... they didn't need to do a full rebrand

UNO is not really that diverse. It's diverse on paper but socially and culturally it's a HBCU. Look at the cheer team and their SGA team ...
UNO was once a respected state institution but now it's a joke

re: 5 people shot off of Lobdell Boulevard
Posted by PelicanState87 on 6/30/26 at 1:56 pm to Breauxsif
I'm just learning about this b/c they have pictures of the shooters.
Lobdell used to be one of the "nice parts" of BR. It has gone straight to hell. Black parents are the worst ... their sons are always wreaking the most havoc all over the world. It's not even just a U.S. thing. The worst!
I'm thinking it's gang related

Right but I think they secretly screw up the attendance maps to keep it black.in the spirit of desegregation which was a complete failure. Most kids segregate by race at desegregated schools anyway

There are two kids I know that are being bussed from Burbank apartments to Tara High. Asked them why they can’t go to McKinley or something closer and they said they didn’t know.
As I thought, it never ended. EBRBP have some sinister agenda to keeping these 50 years old bussing and zoning maps. Most children are much happier going to schools closer to their home.
When I was in school I knew kids who were literally one block away from a public school but still bussed across town. It made no sense and created more problems ... didn't fix anything or "solve racism"

Even if they weren't busing why would you send your kids to EBR public schools?
Tara is a special place ... not to many neighborhoods in the BR area offers what Tara offers. The only problem are the public schools. They don't have children yet but plan to start having kids soon ... they are in their mid-30s.
And the house is beautiful ... it's like something you'll see in a movie.
Is EBRPS still under a federal desegregation order?
Posted by PelicanState87 on 6/18/26 at 11:39 am
My friend is about to buy a home in the upper middle class Tara subdivision which is like 80% white but the local public schools are the opposite of that demographic ... most of the kids are free-lunch eligible and non-white ... it's not even remotely close to the Tara area demographics.
So are they still bussing kids from the hood to schools outside their district and lying saying they not? Because when I googled it say the parish's federal desegregation oversight ended in 2007 but again when I look at the schools around Tara it's not making sense ... it looks like they still bussing kids from outside the Tara area to the Tara area 50 years later

It's easier to fit in with the extreme dsyfunctional around them. When they decide to be better and different they become a bigger target and ostracized by friends and family. Ask me how I know.

Of course they blame guns and being bored instead of the welfare lazy arse parents. And it's always only one group of teens doing the same dumb destructive shite all over the nation. Pattern recognition is not racism
re: Why does Austin have so many street fights?
Posted by PelicanState87 on 6/5/26 at 1:06 pm to Slumpbuster
Demographic changed. My friend lives in Austin so I visit him fairly often. They were always fights on Sixth Street but it was never like a major thing or something you'll see every weekend. People came moreso to have a good time and get laid versus anything else.
When Blacks and Hispanics started to flood the street in recent years is when the fights got more frequent and dangerous. Also they brought shootings to Sixth Street. They come to Sixth Street LOOKING for violence and to go viral in a fight unlike the white college kids and other white people who use to fight before the ghettorization of Sixth Street.

Yeah they been priced out to live but they definitely go to Sixth Street to party on weekends and stuff and go back to the burbs or wherever they came from

I just feel in the air something is really off. I was just watching on WAFB, they recently had a stop the violence rally which always foreshadows MORE violence to come.
It's not just a BR problem, all the major cities across the nation will likely experience a spike. New Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Birmingham, Charlotte, Seattle, Portland, etc will all likely experience near record high violence this summer is my prediction.
Be mindful where you go. If you go to the bad areas of town be IN and OUT and do not ever go at night! Carry a glock and invest in full security for your home. Pattern recognition is NOT racism but is a sign of intelligence and a survival skill. Report any suspicious activities ASAP.

re: LSU is preparing for a freshmen class of 9,000 this fall.

This is Bull shite.
Why haven’t they released the report on the % of the 2025 freshman class who submitted ACT/SAT test scores yet??
LSU has been illegally focusing on recruiting black students and helping to fund what Pell grant doesn’t thru scholarships based on inflated GPAs.
If 9,000 this might be the class that puts white undergraduates below 50% of the total undergraduate students on campus.
The past 2 incoming fall freshman classes had white enrollees below 50%. This upcoming fall 2026 freshman class is still all Tate. Regardless with the new guys waiting to require scores for all applicants until 2028 while not having a minimum standard then and still using holistic approach by making the scores just one of many attributes the leftist committee considers white undergraduates becoming the plurality on campus will happen in the fall of 2027 if not this fall. This will be cemented in beyond repair with the fall 2028 class.
This right here! I read about several black kids from Atlanta Public Schools going to LSU in recent years. Their GPAs are absolutely inflated. None are top of the class or impressive scholars ... just below average students with inflated GPAs. LSU has a lot of liberals working as admission officers with some strange agenda to turn LSU to a pseudo HBCU. 10-15 years ago, kids from these schools would've never considered LSU.

And this is inflated. Louisiana lowered the bar for proficiency so more schools can look viable. Only 10% at most will actually make it in the real world via a legal career (including escorting and OF) and no gov't assistance ... and that's being generous

This is pure foolishness but it will keep getting worse. When I graduate 20+ years ago in Baton Rouge this wasn't happening and we had a lot of black people in my graduating class. These kids don't have any good guidance ... their own parents need guidance.
No one is saying they can't dance and celebrate but the graduation ceremony is not a graduation party. It's a solemn ceremony. They got all day afterwards to dance and party.
But you can't tell these childish black narcissistic folks a damn thing. And if you do they scream racism and respectability politics. This is why they are at the bottom in America ... they have low standards, morals, social intelligence, and lack self control.
