  1. Past hour
  2. They’re both hallmarks of human nature
  3. If we are going Dire Straits, gotta go here:
  4. Oh yeah for sure. I wasn't really trying to overlook it, although I didn't call it out explicitly. It's certainly a difference in both consumption and interaction.
  5. CR Post Rules 1) You can't just be up there and just doin' a post like that. 1a. A CR is when you 1b. Okay well listen. A CR is when you post the 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The post is not allowed to do a mention to the, uh, president, that prohibits the president from doing, you know, just trying to build the wall. You can't do that. 1c-b. Once the CR is in the poster's hands, he can't be over here and say to the mods, like, "I'm gonna post ya! I'm gonna post you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to CR and then don't post it, you have to still do a football move. You cannot not do a football move. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, football movement with the post, and then, until you just CR it. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the post up here, like this, but then there's the posters you gotta think about. 1c-b(2)-b. LaVar Ball hasn't been on any NFL teams in forever. I hope he wasn't remembered as an NFL camp body. 1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, he started Big Baller Brand too! That's even worse. 1c-b(2)-b(ii). "If you can't afford the Z02's, you're not a big baller!” --LaVar Ball. Haha, classic... 1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A CR is when the poster makes a post that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the CR and field of 2) Do not do a CR please.
  6. That BLS update sure appears to make trumps starting point look a lot more dire and he’s the savior
  7. 5 years.... yea 5 years...
  8. Gee, I wonder what US company making electric vehicles might benefit from knee-capping Hyundai.
  9. Is there an echo in here?
  10. well I'm pretty sure they're dropping US (made or funded) weapons, so we're already in for a penny in for a pound with Israel
  11. Also just finished this one. Well worth the price of admission for the folks on this thread. A very good one volume treatment on how Argentina came to be, who its people are, the government they have and why it is...the way it is. https://www.amazon.com/Brief-History-Argentina-Spanish/dp/9507426582/ref=sr_1_3?crid=R5S2CQKY99ZV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Vs4cgloU_AUXyxrA2CTWxtovvPXhrOq5rfuYncWyNPPtVtDGjZhF_NrT0W-8CbfXP-Z7bGWcf2E_1L59aBdcLQukczlAeIx_MK6g27F6-KIImB4AIVc_gTu1pqYnKo1Wl_36TfCspGo6WxIV2wIVaCGKKt5ecmO7XfofZUZrS8FBfpbkvSJu2RUYx71jgYYB0ZHBbOxOfXu0xjdGX5aHNmEFRGwJ9YF3gqHZoZHGq_g._v8wjkBRC2t-Aut-aRw8SwsWQX5UACFQraiBGhyDeXs&dib_tag=se&keywords=a+brief+history+of+argentina&qid=1757433797&sprefix=a+brief+history+of+argentina%2Caps%2C119&sr=8-3
  12. I think a key structural difference you're overlooking is that TV is one-way communication. There's no realtime feedback loop from watcher to TV station, where because you watched one show they start pushing more of that show to you. Today, nearly EVERYTHING is algorithmically driven. Facebook and Twitter will show you ragebait to make you engage more, and then in turn use your posts as ragebait for someone else. Youtube sends young men down the radicalization pipeline with glee, because hours and hours and hours of conspiracy drek means massive advertising revenue numbers and a thriving market. And as a bonus, it comes with a free echo chamber where you aren't even exposed to different ideas except for the express purpose of upsetting you.
  13. Good post. And I definitely agree that we are in an era of "my authoritarianism is better than your authoritarianism" rather than "the neutral Rule of Law and protecting human freedoms are better than authoritarianism." For a dwindling number of us, we don't see goose-stepping authoritarians in snappy Hugo Boss uniforms as an improvement over (real or imagined) goose-stepping authoritarians with red stars on their hats. For those of us "On Liberty" types, this is NOT our era.
  14. Thank you for saying what I said but in a different manner and more words
  15. The larger point is that we told him to hit the road because of a shit ton of off the field BS . . . we didn't lose him to Syracuse like KittyBaby said
  16. Are we supposed to turn toward Mar-A-Lago and do it several times a day?
  17. Stroh 89 snaps Neto: 22 snaps Kibble- 10 snaps (72.6 grade, 73.7 pass/72.1 run) Neto is getting 11 snaps a game, so that is not a lot of snaps. He may look bad with a 40+ a game. Kibble only has 10. It is not up to me, but I would be giving more snaps to Neto and Kibble the next 2 games. I do not know who the best option is currently. All I know is Stroh has struggled mightily and having an open competition here vs the next 2 tomato cans seems reasonable. At worst you are setting a culture of accountability
  18. DT thread covering it. News vs. Politics. I don't want Imma to get on me again for fucking that golden rule up.
  19. I cant possibly say "WHO GIVES A SHIT" enough times to this.
  20. What kind of NW are we looking at to be insured by them? Will my Beanie Baby and Dale Earnhardt commemorative plate collections be taken into consideration?
  21. I just think they would have done it that day regardless of what happened in Jerusalem. They were clearly intending to hit that specific meeting. Qatar maybe just allowed it, who knows. We for sure knew ahead of time. Yeah I read what he said, I'm just not sure it's the truth. The attack provided probably more cover for the op than they were expecting, but I would bet my money on it being planned and executed regardless.
  22. That's a significant portion of Tech fans, as well. Hotel rooms on game weekends are a beating too, especially this late in the process.
  23. BBC. Netanyahu says attack was in response to 7 October and Jerusalem shootingpublished at 10:20 10:20 A joint statement from Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defence Minister Israel Katz says that in the wake of attacks in Jerusalem and Gaza, the Israeli prime minister ordered his security agencies to prepare to target the Hamas leadership. It says that this afternoon presented an operational opportunity and, with the full backing of Israel's defence leaders, the pair jointly decided to green-light the attack. It adds that the IDF and Shin Bet were informed of the plans for the attack last night. The statement continues that Netanyahu and Katz believe the attack was justified due to the Hamas leadership being behind the 7 October 2023 attack and the shooting in Jerusalem yesterday. Earlier today, Hamas claimed responsibility for the shooting, which killed six Israelis and left several other wounded.
  24. Calvinball Kavanaugh's concurrence from yesterday's ICE detention decision: ethnicity is a factor that can by used in deportation investigations. Calvinball Kavanaugh wen it comes to college admissions: admissions process must be "colorblind."
