  1. Should be illegal, and should also get them removed from the major stock exchanges.
  2. The whole not giving a shit about the Constitution and Due Process should be the biggest story. But they never heard about that either. The bribes, market manipulation for investing purposes (tariffs), doesn't land with them. It doesn't land with the poors either because they think it doesn't involve them.
  3. They already ramped up the hate machine against AOC so their response is knee-jerk, much like that of Hillary. There is no chance she can reach them. Pete does a damn fine job as coming across as likeable and intelligent. But I think homophobia will limit him. A mediocre white man is what is needed right now.
  4. And those messages are not getting through the algorithm and propaganda networks. My father had no idea about the Trump crypto coins. None.
  5. I can’t tell if this is true or not.
  6. Shut the fuck up. They don’t have a propaganda network cause their constituents don’t buy that shit. Not their fault stupids breed.
  7. That is a joke right?
  8. Above his head?
  9. Why do you use the Nazi social media platform?
  10. Willful stupidity and the surrender of skepticism begets acquiescence of the cultish obedience.
  11. Is this post satire? Imagine seeing that walk into your store and selling her weapons.
  12. I think they were spooked for good reason. So the two senators had an interaction with a spy/assassin with one being the target. Mon was under constant surveillance and having multiple spies as drivers/security for her. Draven was still in the process of turning the militia into an army, but he no doubt heard about the imperial spies caught and killed (Will was there) So the members of the leadership group all had recent interactions and stories of espionage, while knowing that their espionage wing under Luthen collapsed, with some of the remnant members being undisciplined and still operating like freelance agents. A lot of time had passed since the heist, as they are procuring ships and x-wings they probably overlooked the importance of those initial funds. But I think Cassian taking the cue from Draven to not attack the other member who questioned him/Luthan also signified a change in their relationship and trust. I think Draven likely vouched for him, Mon, did so as well, and Organa was reminded what Cassian did and the costs he paid. I think that is why Bail told him. I also like how the force sensitive healer stared Cassian down with a disturbed look. I think she sensed his fate in that moment.
  13. When Andor was announced, I thought, who gives a shit? I thought Diego Luna was overrated. I thought this was a mistake at best and Cassian was the secondary character in that film. I was wrong. So I looked this up, who gives a shit about a cellist? I think Oscar Isaac is a little overrated. This is a mistake at best.... (I should be a Hollywood executive!)
  14. Are they really useless? Or are they just biding time and looking for any excuse not to act because they know they are still too weak at this point to put up much of a fight. This would be like Chamberlain hearing about the Nazi Nuke program while reading a report about the readiness of the UK forces.
  15. I think from an emotional aspect, Syrill and Dedra scene where he snaps and puts his hands around her neck threatening to kill her is brilliant. The guy lost everything late in this journey including his identity while Cassian was on the opposite arc, gaining and strengthening his identity and role.
  16. That link also seems to concludes by saying 0-9 yard completion percentage seems to be a more prolific indicator of NFL success than does the intermediate or deep ball. But again, they leave out so much of the details it is worth some skepticism about their interpretation and conclusions.
  17. I wouldn't say they are meaningless, but too much is read into them without some skepticism, but sometimes too little is thought of them as well. I am sure the NFL has guys that look at all of the percentages from all over the field to determine the velocity and completion percentages/attempts so they can better inform their defense. It possibly could also clue one into an unreported injury or the impact of a new receiver if there is a percentage deviation.
  18. BOW just stated the reason. If there was a cap on NIL, say $15 million, then Campbell could take Texas Tech and give it a NIL budget to compete with Texas and that puts them on more equal footing relative to recruiting ability at a cost saving (allegedly Texas was at $30 million last rumor I saw). So he could save half his cash to achieve that level playing ground. While not definitive, it would seem to me that saving $15 million a year and elevating a program to the elite tier would help out as according to this website there are only 9 schools above $15 million. If he opted for $20 million, he could take Texas Tech into a top 4 program.
  19. Then he should pony up instead of trying to limit others. He alone could fund the program's NIL for 30 years at 30 million and not be poor.
  20. TIme out for a second. I really wish you wouldn't post like this. Look, you have been open and honest about your struggles, but you should also treat yourself with some dignity and respect. Self-deprecation is fine if there is self-respect. Time in.
  21. This is interesting. Thank you for bringing this up, and bring up a source that I could link to. Since you are more familiar with it, can you elaborate on the on-target rate vs. completion rate and explain the meaning between the differential? For example, CK's 20+ yard differential is ~12% where as SL's and QE's are about 18% differential. Is there a metric which shows how QE was performing this year pre-oblique injury and post injury return, and one from last year and the year before? I think one of the scouting reports I read stated QE had trouble with intermediate passes to his right side, and I was curious if that was present pre-injury data. Source Link. Having read through this site a little further though, I am a little disappointed they do not include their P-values and t-statistics and residual graphs which could be used to validate the null-hypothesis, independent variable, etc. Also on the first table they present on that page, is pretty indicative that the model for intermediate/longer passes are a very poor (again though, not enough information is included here as well). Statistics and regression analysis without the qualifiers is something I would be very skeptical about. I have seen others run regression analysis and not be able to rule out the null-hypothesis just run with it.
  22. I typed that backwards. Thank you for catching that.
  23. His strategy is to ignore what you asked for 3-4 pages/days then ask what you are talking about. See request for receipts.
  24. I could argue that he was precise with his down field passes. His accuracy was off, but he missed his receiver often the same way. /thanks to Magnus for catching my mistake.
