  1. The take no responsibility for my actions and instead blame the band statement. Yeah this is a garbage person who has definitely cheated many times if we go by the person who used to report to him at another company.
  2. Every time I see that name I now hear it in the voice of one of the characters from a recent Japanese movie called Perfect Days who asks who Van Morrison is.
  3. The tact I will take here is that at least Derka has a space where he can let out things that are annoying or frustrating. It’s not that big a deal I think. It pales in comparison to the football board whining and gnashing of teeth during the season. I rarely visit the football forum during that part of the year. @Derka I say that only to say to enjoy the day you were given. A lot of people did not wake up yesterday to get the chance to enjoy another day, but you did. I know you understand that mentality, but a reminder never hurts for all of us at times. Seeing something that you don’t appreciate or like, well, a good course of action is to just change the channel. I don’t watch things I don’t enjoy so I completely skip the Bobby Hurley experience during basketball season. You think UT basketball was rough with Rodney Terry, hoo boy, have I got a coach for you to hate watch. I think you bring a whole lot of passion to the basketball board especially. None of this is worth getting annoyed about, but it’s cool to let off some steam here when you do feel that way.
  4. The only ESPY moment I can recall with any clarity is this one. Other than that I cannot tell you a thing about this awards sh W. The things he mentions that make for a great day is something I still remind people of when their own day feels like it’s gone off the rails.
  5. Current motto fits.
  6. I mean the reaction as soon as they saw themselves was great. I have never cheated and I take a hardline stance on it because I have seen personally what it does to someone, but that’s funny. Hope that CEO gets a 30/70 split thanks to that video.
  7. There’s maybe 10 teams each year that realistically have a chance to win a title. Other teams will just have e to figure it out when it comes to money and the players they can get. As an ASU supporter I’m mostly indifferent. If they win that’s cool. If they don’t that’s cool too. I have zero objections to teams and boosters spending whatever they want to field a winner. I also hope aggy spend like a drunken sailor on shore leave into perpetuity and keep putting up those dominating 8-5 seasons they’re famous for. Those Texas Bowl trips are just a great reward for a job well done.
  8. Not the last school that is going to have massive issues on both the academic and athletic side of things. Gutting their external funding such as the grants they receive is going to torpedo their academics. That is not good, at all. It should be concerning to people outside of USC as well.
  9. Nassau has a rather large population of Central American immigrants. I lived in Westbury when I first moved to New York and found the diversity to be cool. Apparently the racist white folks there are trying to be like their brethren next door in Suffolk County.
  10. Hitler’s fear of being captured by the Soviets turned out to be greater than anything else. As drug addled as TFG is, he was child’s play in that department in comparison to Hitler.
  11. I feel that everything you think a WNBA player should do to continue to get better will see the opposite happen. Right now she is playing well. That team is hot garbage, but with how many teams make the postseason only two teams are really out of it right now in Dallas and Connecticut.
  12. He’s a narcissist. He won’t do this. Still the sentiment of it is on the right track. It’d be great to skip through all of the not fun stuff coming towards all of us.
  13. Domestic history is probably something I should read more about so kudos to you for bringing that horrid part of our history into the conversation. It’s so odd, yet so normal that human beings ALWAYS find a group to piss on. We’ve done it with every large wave of immigrants that have come here and as you so starkly pointed out, we did it with American citizens. To me it is the worst of human behavior. We base hatred on skin color, languages used, sometimes singling out groups like the Jews and other undesirables were by the Nazis. We never learn as people. I spend a decent amount of time thinking about am I doing things that will help people out generations from now? Am I doing something to further humanity in a positive way for the millions and billions that’ll come long after I’m tossed overboard into the South Pacific to be shark food? I don’t think it makes me unique to think that way, but I do wish humans would think long-term instead of just five minutes from now and that they’d use history as a guide as to why that would be important to do so.
  14. I don’t dispute we have been fairly conciliatory towards people who either fought against the Union or those who were against Civil Rights, but later apologized for what they had done. As a nation this FEELS different. Watching American citizens being sent away, the loss of citizenship being openly talked about by the regime (I can’t call them politicians anymore) and people being degraded as being disposable based solely on how they look and that they are a darker skin color. I would expect those in Schumer’s orbit and ilk to want reconciliation. We tried this in 2020. It failed and fomented an even bigger part of the population to want what we currently have with a fascist regime in control. I think there will be acts of violence perpetrated upon some of the regime. Where can a guy like Miller live at once everything goes south for him except a prison cell? He’s a target for the rest of his life and someone that thinks violent retribution is the answer will likely go and get it if given that target of opportunity. I want all of these criminals to spend life in prison once this ends. I want the young Democrats to grow a backbone and not let these people just resume their pre-fascist life again. My bet is maybe 10 percent of the country will look back into history to see that reconciliation does not work and that it’ll just lead to another generation looking to get even for their fascist heroes being discarded. You have to completely stamp it out and to do that means at the end of this the Republican Party has to be outlawed and torn apart. Conservative folks can go form a new party based on something more modern, but the whole apparatus has to come down. Absorbing these folks back in will not heal divisions. It will just enable more morons in the future and some generation not yet born that we will never meet will have to deal with it and they’ll be left wondering why we did not do more to put an end to these people.
  15. This is stupid and you should feel like a moron for even thinking this and associating people who are with TFG. You have zero idea what autism is or what it looks like.
