  1. It feels like cancel culture run amok. It is very intoxicating to be able to shame or blacklist someone online. Social media has only made it easier and there's a bit of getting out pitchforks in a very public way. I guess it's easier to live in your bubble where only your worldview is fed to you. We see it on both sides with people's media feedback loops. People get shouted down for different or "offensive" speech. It's very black and white thinking. There is no longer any grey or nuance. You have to be fully committed one way and it better be "the right way". I see it with my own teens and try to challenge them to look at things from different perspectives. I relay to them my own history of thinking one way for a long time and then changing later in life. If I were held to the standard they hold people to based on my past beliefs, I would be cancelled by them. It feels like this generation doesn't allow people to make mistakes, think less than ideal things, and be able to recover from those past misdeeds. If you do something wrong at any point of your life, that will be forever held against you. It's very strange behavior that might come back to bite them in the ass since they live so online constantly. I think my oldest would be mortified if her posts as a preteen and early teenager were served back to her when she's in her 20s. It feels like a generation that doesn't want their worldview challenged. Then again, I could be an old man now who is doing the same thing my father did about my generation, bitching about how they just don't get it.
  2. Gundy is in Florida recruiting and killing himself?
  3. Not sure on the helmet since there's not a clear shot of it but it should be the same as that mini helmet.
  4. @SbbruinI thought you might like to hear this. Your club was featured on Marketplace on NPR. Great show if you've never heard it. It's a nightly appointment for me. https://www.marketplace.org/story/2025/09/08/country-club-partially-reopens-after-altadena-fires
  5. Certified lover boy, certified pedophile
  6. Yeah but all those transgender athletes will crop up again when they need something to be scared of.
  7. Good. Fuck em. They made their choice. Let them lose their souls.
  8. He sounds like a Star Wars character. Be careful when you enter the system. You might run into Biff Poggi.
  9. Ha. Yeah, nail on the head with that name choice.
  10. Racists like this always have this in their profiles. His tweets are now protected. Why hide from this? You obviously posted it thinking you would get massive agreement. Frankly, it's great that a racist like this guy moved out to Colleyville to escape non-whites and now he'll have to move again.
  11. 2001 was the 2nd highest grossing movie of 1968, the year it was released. That's pretty wide appeal. Alien and Star Wars aren't greenlit without 2001.
  12. I'd put Arch more in the early Colt McCoy stage right now. A guy from a smaller school who is learning while he goes. Colt didn't have the pedigree but you saw flashes. Arch has these high expectations because of his name which gave him the high star rating. Maybe he's just average. Average could be enough. Man, it's so early. Wisner was out. WRs are still getting up to speed. Wingo is too much in his own head. Livingston and Endries look great. We get consistency out of the WRs, this thing is going to start cooking. We might've been foolish to expect to be great again in the passing game after losing Golden, Bond, and Helm. Baxter looks good at RB and I'm interested in what Clark can bring. We need a home run hitter at RB and no one has stepped up yet. But again, it's early. One of my many flaws is my brain works faster than my fingers when I type.
  13. Do I need a new green shirt from Liverpool? No. Will I be getting one? Probably.
  14. Pulp Fiction: Hollywood's Indie New Wave of the 1990s Die Hard: action thriller set in a specific location (future action movies were "Die Hard on a _____")
  15. It is so satisfying to see a team manage the end of a game like that
  16. That felt very close to getting blocked
  17. What a great game
  18. Yeah, I was going to suggest Minnesota.
  19. This is not the take I thought Wulaw would have coming out of that game after his zero concerns thread. I think everyone needs to just reset your expectations on Arch. He'll be good and with this defense that might be enough against most teams. Is he the Second Coming that everyone seems to have thought he was destined to be, it's way too early to know and way too early to panic that he's not VY 2.0. Maybe we are seeing a bit why Sark kept going with Ewers. Maybe he saw Arch just wasn't ready yet. But everyone heaped all their hopes and dreams on a kid who is still learning. He's still got a lot of time until we need to hit the panic button. Florida was going to be the measuring stick and they certainly don't look super scary. The worst thing for Arch was starting his tenure against the defending champs in their stadium. He didn't get the easy entry that pretty much every QB at Texas in the modern era has gotten. I think he'll be fine. We're going to beat the piss out of UTEP.
  20. U Take Em Points!
  21. I would've been more excited if you want to see Morganna, the Kissing Bandit.
