  1. Good to escape the rare shitty Eovaldi outing.
  2. The thing I wonder to this point is, "do the businesses pursuing AI with abandon and the governments of the world (ours excluded at the moment for reasons) realize that they are entering the same mutually assured destruction situation that we have with nukes?" You have companies racing to develop AI to sell to other companies, promising that those buying the AI will exponentially increase their productivity while simultaneously massively reducing their reliance on and the cost of human capital. You can cut coders, call center agents, lawyers, data entry, accountants, and on and on as you go down the rabbit hole. Now these same companies buying the AI to do all this ostensibly have some product/service they are looking to sell. They in turn, use the revenue from those sales to pay the AI company for their product, service/support, the next new toy etc. But this cycle happens in enough places and suddenly all these people out of work across all these industries no longer have the money to ya know....buy your shit. Demand plummets, prices spiral down, you can't pay for the new AI with the kung fu grip and on and on infecting everything in the economy everywhere. So even the companies that are first to the game in terms of AI and all that end up slitting their own throat as assuredly as the first country that launches a nuke is slitting its own throat. Unemployment peaked out at 14.9% during Covid in April 2020, and was already back down to below 7% by October of that year with the average for the year somewhere around 8%. You start getting deep sustained unemployment of 15, 20, 25, 30% and it all comes down and real quick. Uncontrolled AI is going to destroy the economy long before it has the need to kill us with a virus or some other shit. Edit: And don't talk to me about UBI as a solution, even our government at its very best isn't moving on something like that fast enough to stop the chaos.
  3. Had a good friend in college that battled this shit off and on for a decade from his early/mid 30s until it finally caught up with him in late 2020, leaving behind a wife and 2 kids....fuck cancer indeed. Sack that cancer's ass Sergio
  4. How does somebody who litters this site with pictures of his naked wife give a shit about negs?
  5. It's Central, maybe Mountain but for Az doing their Cha cha which is a big chunk of people who live in Mountain. Eastern just gets too damn late and on the flip side if you are watching any sports across the pond Pacific is just too damn early, not to mention Pacific has weeknight shit starting at or before the time people are getting off work.
  6. But unlike those you mentioned, Micah went to social media and wrote a mini novel, wanting to be traded. He's soaking this up just as much as Jerry, along with his corny podcast. Yes, fuck Jerry always and forever. So what that he wrote about it? Either it’s a bit they are both running (at Jerry’s insistence to manufacture drama/storylines/marketing) or it isn’t and Jerry finally ran into someone who wasn’t going to be PC about Jerry’s bullshit. either way it is 100% on Jerry. Could give two shits about Parson’s role in all of this.
  7. LOL it’s worse than that. He only thinks they are on the same team. Narrator: They are not on the same team
  8. Yep. But Parsons loves the spotlight just as much as Jerry. They are in on this together. Maybe, maybe not but fuck Jerry. It’s not Micah who has done this with Dak, Ceedee, Zeke, Dez etc etc. Meet an asshole in the morning you met an asshole. Meet assholes all day…you’re the asshole.
  9. This closeted dude imo
  10. Maybe they’re all turning Japanese? i really think so.
  11. Unfortunately “eating the tariffs” was an all time brain dead move in a post fact feels and vibes society It completely ceded the narrative to Trump who regardless of the details can now say, “they ate them and now they are not…it’s not me and my policies hurting you it is XYZ retailer” Every tariff rambling and action should have been followed with immediate price pain on the shelves of America’s retailers.
  12. Wow even those batshit crazy Magatards wouldn’t sit for Cincinnati Chili
  13. The french toast, cinnamon toast crunch, ice cream looks like a winner. I'm dubious about anything with crab meat at a fair...
  14. Normal hot girls went away? If you're going to be a woman, being a normal hot girl is a massive leg up.
  15. Glad the offense finally answered the gauntlet Nate threw down. He's so fucking good.
  16. The roof the roof the roof is on fire. We don’t need no water let the motherfucker burn.
  17. I’m sure THIS will be the thing that sticks where “grab em by the pussy” and “shooting a guy on Park Avenue” didn’t. 🙄
  18. So the coaches poll matters again....weird.
