  1. This article is all I can find, best I can tell is the app is geofenced to only work in TX and they're just applying the same legal loophole that lets them run the brick and mortar card room. Texas Card House finds loophole to create online poker game
  2. I was gonna ask why would you want to get out of it and then I saw the list of teams. NC State will probably be a tough team, but besides y'all the rest is oof and probably a feelsbad if you don't win. I know the players usually love these kinds of things but you'd hope to play a bit tougher field for sure.
  3. IDF reservist has a different opinion, what a shock.
  4. I was thinking about this yesterday. The first movie is really stupid and cheesy and we all love it because it came out in the 90s when most of us were still kids or teenagers. The sequel is really just more of the same with more cameos and (like @SizzleChest pointed out) a way over the top satire of LIV. Coincidentally, I had just watched Oppenheimer again the day before and couldn't stop giggling at the contrast between Benny Safdie's characters in both movies.
  5. This movie is really good. I hope this plus Thunderbolts means we're finally out of the MCU doldrums.
  6. What an insane amount of cameos lol John Daly should do more acting, he's got lazy Chris Farley vibes Not nearly as good as the first but it was fun enough
  7. I get that for sure, but Dynasty is kind of designed to be a stressful game mode. It's meant to try and be as realistic as you can be in a video game setting. Wear and tear, recruiting, transfers, etc are all worries real coaches have to deal with so there's some level of that they're trying to convey to the player by design. I'm all for wear and tear being a thing, specifically in Dynasty, I want guys to get hurt, I wanna get pissed off when I lose recruits or guys transfer etc, it makes it all feel more real and interesting. If none of that ever happened in Dynasty, it'd be boring as hell. Just my $0.02.
  8. Not sure if it's been mentioned in this thread but Barr's dad gave Epstein his first job.
  9. He should go to federal prison for the rest of his life for that, but he won't.
  10. Yeah, looking back on his previous posting he's definitely just in here to parrot right wing talking points on this issue. Newish account with <200 posts, yeah you're not trustworthy, fella. Exclusive: USAID analysis found no evidence of massive Hamas theft of Gaza aid | Reuters Shocking that Israel was lying about this all along. Shocking, I tell you!
  11. He's more of a nerdy oligarch
  12. I understand it for Dynasty, they're trying to make it as realistic as possible, but yeah. I played around with it a bit, dropping all the wear/tear settings to 15 and then upping the recovery settings to 75 seemed to make it much more realistic/manageable.
  13. Dude holy SHIT. I'd say that's the worst bad beat of all time but I guess, technically, they didn't lose. I can't even fathom what the odds would be on this scenario ever happening.
  14. Either that or you're just incredibly stupid. I'm not sure which is worse.
  15. You're a fucking liar.
  16. I'm glad @Thetexashammer is stepping up to replace Rex as the board lolcow
  17. Sure, that plays a part as well, but the main driver is Israel acting as the primary arm of our power projection in the middle east.
  18. Yeah for sure, and I think we should keep helping ensure their defense, and everyone else's in the region. It's in our best interest to do so.
  19. It goes even deeper than that, because their citizens enjoy many qualities of life that we don't have here in America, like free health care and education, because their military is heavily subsidized by us. If they suddenly had to fund their own wars, they would be unable to provide these services to their citizens, and their society would collapse very quickly. It's all a massive house of cards. I'm not saying I want it to collapse, I don't, but the leverage we hold over them should be a goddamn Sword of Damocles considering what they do with our money, but we just pretend it doesn't exist.
  20. No dude, this is wrong. They absolutely need our money and weapons. They could not sustain the conflict in just Gaza by itself on their own, much less wars on multiple fronts.
  21. It's perhaps an exaggeration because these things are always more complicated than that and it would take more than just a phone call realistically, but something like 70-80% of the ordinance used in Gaza comes directly from us. If our government decided that the genocide in Gaza was no longer acceptable, it would end, that's the bottom line. It was acceptable to the Biden admin, and it is acceptable to the Trump admin. We have infinite leverage over Israel, they have basically none over us, relatively speaking. We simply choose not to use it because Israel is effectively an American state and an extension of our hegemonic power. Palestinians in Gaza being subjected to a second Holocaust is simply not a hill worth dying on for our government until it is. And by the time it is, it will be far too late, just like it was with the first Holocaust.
  22. Who's saying we should abandon them, dumb fuck? Clean the cobwebs out from between your ears. Try to hide your bloodlust a little bit better.
  23. Anyone else think the wear and tear system is fucked? In dynasty, at least, it feels like most games my RB is a walking corpse in the 2nd half and usually doesn't get subbed in at all.
  24. Biden could have put a stop to this with 1 phone call. That is, perhaps, the most frustrating part.
