  1. Make Believe and Pretend is that fun of a game to play.
  2. Don’t forget 20-10
  3. Too bad “god’s law” says absolutely nothing about life beginning at conception. Why is it that when it comes to these silly-assed arguments about mixing religion with politics, secularists always seem to know both sides of the argument better than the fanatics know their own?
  4. Well certainly not sane people, but nonetheless there are people who do claim that the CFP (and even the fucking BCS) is/was a superior model. Happens every year around late November/early December.
  5. If anyone watched the last 6 NFL games and still thinks the BCS/CFP religion errr “formula” is the superior model, I’m telling you as a person who categorically opposes capital punishment that you deserve to be burned at the stake.
  6. He’s always going to believe that.
  7. Can’t speak to the numbers but they’re definitely the loudest.
  8. Uh show us where he touched you?
  9. BUT THEY’RE STILL BETTER THAN BIG PHARMA BECAUSE THINGS AND STUFF!!! Ah yes, the “lurker around the slot machines” approach. Well, that’s one way I suppose.
  10. It very much is, notwithstanding your furious refusal to see that. It’s as if you don’t even understand who makes generic drugs in general.
  11. Quite besides the point, but you knew that. You also know that nearly a year ago, Merck issued a statement about it https://www.merck.com/news/merck-statement-on-ivermectin-use-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/ “Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today affirmed its position regarding use of ivermectin during the COVID-19 pandemic. Company scientists continue to carefully examine the findings of all available and emerging studies of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 for evidence of efficacy and safety. It is important to note that, to-date, our analysis has identified: No scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against COVID-19 from pre-clinical studies; No meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease, and; A concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies.” So they called bullshit on uses of their own product for those purposes, but that’s…what, ok because any company can make a generic? You do realize that while there are some small differences between name brands and generics, the active ingredients are the same and definitely not different to the point where the name brand is telling you “do not use this drug for that purpose” while the generic can be telling you “no, you can.” And if that wasn’t your contention, I’m not sure what your point is. To repeat, those medications were brought into the mainstream by two major pharmaceutical companies. They are not holistic alternatives to western medicine, and pointing out that generics exists literally does nothing to change that. My whole point with that was to show that wagging the illusory “follow us or you’re just sheeple who just blindly follows Big Pharma” stick and carrot is a stupid person’s idea of a smart thing to say.
  12. Seriously, his popularity peaked out over 20 years ago, and that was easily forgettable. If it hadn’t been for his rancid fanboyism of Donald Trump in the present day, I honestly would have forgotten who he was.
  13. So why are they asserting that hydroxychloroquine, which is made by Sanofi, and Ivermectin, which is made by Merck, are valid treatments for COVID? I mean you couldn’t have picked two medications that are more Big Pharma than those. Mere skepticism doesn’t drive that kind of idiocy. That’s driven by an overconfidence in an ability they do not actually possess. “Everyone in the CDC is wrong, but I’m not!” Again, it’s not so much the skepticism, it’s their idiotic alternative suggestions. It’s not enough to cast doubt on what mainstream medical communities are recommending. To actually prove they’re wrong, you also have to suggest valid alternatives, and they fail rather spectacularly at that. The whole entire premise behind what they’re saying is the ugly cousin of the God of the gaps fallacy: “I don’t believe science provided by Big Pharma, therefore magic (which again is also attributed to Big Pharma)” And again, I mean no disrespect to you directly, but it’s been my observation that lawyers are the hardest peddlers of this Ivermectin/hydroxychloroquine/anti-vaccine drivel. But regardless of their actual profession, the output is the same: they are cosplaying doctors and medical professionals in general. You cannot justify skepticism with make believe and demand respect for such positions. Science basically works like a game of king of the hill. Something assumes the role of king, and everyone else has the absolute right to, within certain guidelines, knock it off and if they succeed, they’re the new “king” unless and until someone else knocks them off. Much as the Joe Bros want to believe it, Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine haven’t even come close to knocking off monoclonals. Vaccination has never come close to being knocked of by non-vaccination. You don’t win king of the hill by declaring yourself king from the bottom of the fucking hill.
  14. The same thing it meant the first time it was posted: that certain people are asking us to take them seriously when they can’t be trusted to spell “deceit” correctly.

  16. I’ll accept Collins’ premise, provided however that they take their time, have hearings, and go through the process of giving a lifetime appointment as SCOTUS associate Justice… to Anita Hill.
  17. I mean religion is in itself a grift, but the Falwells were (are) fundamentalist and IIRC, young earth creationist to their core. When you grow up to be as old as either of the Jerry’s, you come to a crossroads where you have to choose to be honest or to be a fundamentalist because it’s impossible to be both.
  18. Can’t believe I just saw this but if true???? Shhhhhhhhh Let them do it. Shhhhhhh
  19. “Do my own research.” Common right wing parlance for “here’s an opinion I pulled out of my ass and searched the seediest underbelly of Google for someone else to have that same whacked out opinion, and even though I had to skip past like ten thousand links saying I was full of shit, this one random dude living in his moms basement in Cincinnati confirms I’m right. Look at me, I am smart.”
  20. Small point of order, but the batshit to which you refer asserted Janis Joplin, not Marilyn Monroe. Right and we still regard people that way. After we left the State Fair at the 2018 Texas-OU game, we saw on the corner of Cullum and Lipscomb (Grand) a couple of hyper Christian douchebags holding up enhanced photos of aborted fetuses and they were waxing moronic about liberalism/communism/atheism and how “they” all want to do that to their precious Christian babies. Some dude walking behind me just yelled out “FAKE NEWS!!!” and that was basically it. So yeah, the filter through which batshit should be collected is still there but it’s really breaking down. And it’s also dishonest as hell to attribute the reason that people are troubled by this as having anything to do with this make believe and pretend “jealousy” of guys like Rogan that we really don’t have. Would I like to have a podcast with as many viewers as he does? Never really thought about it. It’s certainly not an ambition of mine. Would I like to have a podcast with that many viewers because I constantly spew bullshit (or freely let my guests do same)? Fuck off with that shit. The motherfuckers saying that shit are making a transparent, horrific, bad faith attempt at psychoanalysis. I used a word a couple days ago to describe such people, but that’s what they really are: ultracrepidarians. They are giving opinions about subjects that far exceed the scope of their knowledge. They ain’t about that life. So when people come along and say “you’re just jealous of Joe Rogan,” I attach as much value to that as I attach to the dust in my vacuum.
  21. Hang on just a goddamn minute Just what the fuck makes you think we have a floor?
  22. That’s…oddly specific
  23. Not even appalling to me. I expect this kind of talk from those two. Wanna know why Jordan Peterson rose to prominence? Some people heard him talk and they’re like “oh look, an apologist for the status quo and a hater of Karl Marx that speaks in polysyllabic terms. I like him. He’s wise!”
  24. Lindell will put a stop to this once his pillow sales begin to plummet when his customers realize this whole thing was a grift… So get ready for more and more of this bullshit, unless of course this useless douchebag lands himself in a prison cell.
  25. Yeah he’s essentially a modern day Michel Foucault on coke.
