  1. Past hour
  2. @SydneyCarton Yeah, and still rising too.
  3. The bold is where it falls apart for me and I think has it backward. You say that it makes sense if you are a believer, but the question in my mind is what objective basis is there to believe this particular version of religion? Most religious people abide by the religion they were born into and learned from birth. Where it really started to fall apart for me was the question as to why I was supposed to believe that Catholicism was correct and everyone else was wrong, especially when it comes to the billions of people who were raised non Christian like Judaism and Islam, and even moreso for non Abrahamic religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. There is simply no rational basis to believe that one is correct over another. I have since leaned more into religious study as a historical issue, including its role in shaping society and culture, and am convinced it has done more harm than good overall. In today's America, it's not even close considering how many religious people are full of hatred and vitriol for fellow humans which is the complete opposite of how I learned the teachings of Jesus which objectively, on the whole, is pretty good, love they neighbor, welcome the stranger, turn the other cheek, etc., etc.
  4. Money please! https://247sports.com/player/easton-royal-46154901/
  5. Good post, though painful to read. I wish for every blessing.
  6. Err I hope there would be an exception for exposing pedophiles?
  7. In a case like this involving a large employer, I think your best move is to advocate for money to be given to the community foundation who can then distribute the funds to vetted local organizations in the front line. Obviously, I can’t speak for every community foundation, but the ones I’ve had involvement with do really good work and are pretty efficient.
  8. It's just absolutely hilarious mental gymnastics these poor dudes put themselves through to appeal to the dumbest posters on this site. Like how can you possibly discuss solutions to a problem that can literally only be solved by public policy without discussing politics?
  9. Assuming they haven't already signed their deals with the teams they have committed to. No NLI anymore, which basically means no NSD which could potentially mean there won't be as many flips as previous years. Especially if schools are using revenue share funds to sign these kids.
  10. Shit, is Hamm on their staff now?
  11. deGrom, maybe?
  12. that's what the video caption said, at least
  13. Actually it's Frank Wade of 175 Beaver Road, Ingram, Texas.
  14. I'm just waiting to see what Asmongold thinks before I blast out some hot takes
  15. I couldn’t understand what he said but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t that.
  16. "laws signed and proposed" is the same thing as "previous decisions made by people who are in charge". They're both public policy. By your yardstick here, should I be banned for citing meeting minutes when the county leadership decided to not invest in sirens? That's critical context to WHY this mass casualty event was primed and filled with children to sacrifice on the altar of MUH TAXES.
  17. I didn't think recognizing our starting QB and two of our returning All-Americans was going to be a challenge, but yes you are correct.
  18. I don't think Fong is ill-intentioned, but I think we're seeing the maturation of "highest bidder wins" with top players and I think he's probably a little surprised that Texas is showing this degree of restraint coming off two CFP appearances. Probably more useful as the players we'll circle back to in November depending on how much might be available.
  19. Sorry man, I can’t believe paragraph one on this. Whatever else you think, Mandami comes from an extremely privileged and sophisticated family and went to an elite private grammar school in Morningside Heights. His dad is an academic and professor at Columbia in post-colonial studies. Of all the things in the world the family knew, it was college applications and admissions process and American racial politics. They paid tens of thousands of dollars for a guidance counselor to help them do it! And that should be ok, it just isn’t a good look to be head in the sand about someone looking to use an affirmative action program that is supposed to be a good thing. That is exactly why he ticked the box.
