  1. Past hour
  2. He would likely take a pay cut. His currently salary at Texas $1.9 million, and most NFL DCs make around $1 million. Obviously guys like Vic Fangio make a lot more than that, but they've also been in the league forever. If he was killing himself on the recruiting trail then maybe. But I don't think that's the case either. Anything can happen, but I think we'll have PK for a few more seasons at least.
  3. The video is real. It was recorded by Trump superfan Blake Marnell aka Brick Suit.
  4. Dude, they went out in public and were acting intimate. Whether it was caught on camera, or one of his wife's friends saw them, or whatever, they took the risk and it blew up in their faces. The more out in the open you are with an affair, the higher the likelihood of getting caught. No one to blame but themselves.
  5. Finally watched the season finale last night. It was almost like it was a completely different show. At any rate, it was probably the best episode of the series. I'll probably check in on S2 when it comes out to see if it's worth continuing.
  6. Interesting document and a good image about preventing from getting in this situation in first place... this speaks to my greed comment earlier Massive document - interesting stuff when you have a troublesome #2 - https://floodsciencecenter.org/products/elected-officials-flood-risk-guide/moving-beyond-the-essentials/5/#question_44
  7. It was a mess, but some of that is also because the Secret Service has gone to absolute shit since Trump's first term.
  8. It's not really a reach to think that someone on the campaign could've realized what a great photo opportunity it was.
  9. Yeah, I look at all these poly people and I'm like, I don't want another wife or a side piece, I just want to be left alone.
  10. She has people skills!
  11. Is anybody here familiar with an ETF trading firm called tradr? I've done really well with ASTS and they have obviously developed a derivatives trading model for that one stock. ASTX is the symbol. Not sure if this should be on the stonks thread but whatever.

  13. Biggest concern going into week 1 is our secondary, namely our corners, against their WRs. We really need our front to get Sayin off his spots early so he doesn't get into a groove. Second concern would be their front against our OL, but I'm hoping Arch's mobility is a mitigating factor while they find their legs. As mentioned above, we have some solid advantages going into this one, but those are the challenges I can see right now.
  14. This seems silly to me
  15. These three have all been great for me. Maybe not all time eps but pretty classic Sunny, moreso than most of the episodes last season.
  16. Someone earlier posted this guy has ruined multiple other startups. You think something as stupid as an affair is going to hinder his future more than having a shitty track record of on the job performance? Meh, I guess you think Boards of Directors are going to all of a sudden gain some ethics?
  17. Tires, vacuum cleaners, and insurance are all things where you should definitely never buy the cheapest option.

  19. this thread is a great example of the tribalism that’s pervasive in this country now. people walk around believing that everyone else is either an ally or an enemy, and that they can tell which category everyone else fits into based on one interaction. my posting history on this site, particularly in the CR and DT shows me to irrefutably be a champion of pretty much any all groups who’ve been persecuted or marginalized. i am all for the rights and empowerment of all people, of all colors, all religions, all races, trans, queer, black, female, muslim, chritsian i don’t care- you deserve love, and compassion, and equal rights to the richest, most powerful WASPs on the planet. there is zero doubting or debating where i stand and have always stood on these issues. thats simple fact. doesn't matter. as soon as i do one thing that you associate with “your enemies”- in this case expressing how tired i am of the constant “woe is me, my marginalized group is so oppressed” talk in the middle of my sporting events- you suddenly think you know everything about me. i must hate women, im a misogynist, im hateful, i have no female friends, etc. you really don’t hear how radical you sound? you don’t think you’ve taken this from 0-100 in 3.2 seconds? if you really can’t see that then there is no room for changing your mind. if your mind is made up about me, and no amount of earnest discussion or empirical evidence to the contrary of your asinine beliefs about me can move you from your position, then you might want to think about what that says about you.

  21. If anybody still gives a shit about the Palestinians, or the future of Israel for that matter, take 15 minutes to read this. I'm putting up a gift link, so it can be read in full and you can follow any of the links in this essay. Personally, I've been hesitant to use the word 'genocide' in preference of 'ethnic cleansing' to describe what's going on in Gaza. Still, this guy who studies this shit makes a compelling case and lays out a good global argument for why we shouldn't shy away from using the proper nomenclature. @statsman, who would be wise to read it, thinks he's supporting Israel in denying what's happening. On the contrary, his pigheadedness, as well as that of many others, only imperils the nation in the long term. By Omer Bartov Dr. Bartov is a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. A month after the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, I believed there was evidence that the Israeli military had committed war crimes and potentially crimes against humanity in its counterattack on Gaza. But contrary to the cries of Israel’s fiercest critics, the evidence did not seem to me to rise to the crime of genocide. By May 2024, the Israel Defense Forces had ordered about one million Palestinians sheltering in Rafah — the southernmost and last remaining relatively undamaged city of the Gaza Strip — to move to the beach area of the Mawasi, where there was little to no shelter. The army then proceeded to destroy much of Rafah, a feat mostly accomplished by August. At that point it appeared no longer possible to deny that the pattern of I.D.F. operations was consistent with the statements denoting genocidal intent made by Israeli leaders in the days after the Hamas attack. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had promised that the enemy would pay a “huge price” for the attack and that the I.D.F. would turn parts of Gaza, where Hamas was operating, “into rubble,” and he called on “the residents of Gaza” to “leave now because we will operate forcefully everywhere.” Mr. Netanyahu had urged his citizens to remember “what Amalek did to you,” a quote many interpreted as a reference to the demand in a biblical passage calling for the Israelites to “kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings” of their ancient enemy. Government and military officials said they were fighting “human animals” and, later, called for “total annihilation.” Nissim Vaturi, the deputy speaker of Parliament, said on X that Israel’s task must be “erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth.” Israel’s actions could be understood only as the implementation of the expressed intent to make the Gaza Strip uninhabitable for its Palestinian population. I believe the goal was — and remains today — to force the population to leave the Strip altogether or, considering that it has nowhere to go, to debilitate the enclave through bombings and severe deprivation of food, clean water, sanitation and medical aid to such an extent that it is impossible for Palestinians in Gaza to maintain or reconstitute their existence as a group. My inescapable conclusion has become that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Having grown up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of my life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and spent most of my career researching and writing on war crimes and the Holocaust, this was a painful conclusion to reach, and one that I resisted as long as I could. But I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one when I see one. This is not just my conclusion. A growing number of experts in genocide studies and international law have concluded that Israel’s actions in Gaza can only be defined as genocide. So has Francesca Albanese, the U.N. special rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza, and Amnesty International. South Africa has brought a genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. The continued denial of this designation by states, international organizations and legal and scholarly experts will cause unmitigated damage not just to the people of Gaza and Israel but also to the system of international law established in the wake of the horrors of the Holocaust, designed to prevent such atrocities from happening ever again. It is a threat to the very foundations of the moral order on which we all depend.
