    The latest:

     

    Do we not have spies or intel anymore? They've been "on the verge" of this shit since the fucking '90s. We haven't done anything because we know they aren't close. If they were George W. would have turned the place to glass instead of fucking around with Saddam. This shit ain't hard to figure out. Bibi wants to stay out of jail, that's literally all that is going on right now, period.

    Rant/I’ve had to spend pretty much my whole life giving head space to these fucking “I”places. Why can’t these bitches be more like Idaho. I hardly ever think of Idaho except every now and then when I am eating a delicious potato or when there was that weird murder that Nicole was probably somehow involved in. Be more like Idaho you fucking fucks./Rant Over

  3. I don't think the US does anything different than in the past including no direct military intervention. Just more rage tweets and nonsense while Israel and Iran continue talking tough while lobbing a few pew pews at each other for the next few years. Iran is nowhere near a nuclear weapon, they've been super duper close for like 30 years, it's all bullshit. If they were really that close we would have gone full Team America on them a long time ago.

    Copious reasons to dislike/despise/hate him, but he handles his narrative, tactics, and PR game way better than some.

    I think it has more to do with his knowledge of the audience. Tons of people in the west still think that any criticisms of actions of the State of Israel are antisemetic while a ton of other people have some really strange religious views on why Israel must be "supported" at all costs. It has let him get away with almost everything. It's starting to wear thin but it still remains true that in the US no political candidate can win a national election if they are too critical of Israel and even modest criticisms were an issue in the last election.

    The frustrating thing is: those idiots will look you straight in the eye and insist that they did not vote for this.

    They’ll say Trump promised to end all the wars Biden got us into (fact check: there are none) and prevent war from ever happening again. 

    And then, rather than admit that they are suckers who fell for one of the most obvious lies ever told, they’ll insist that he was telling the truth. They’ll justify this flagrant violation of his campaign promises by opining that this is all Iran’s fault or the result of Woke Ideology or a valiant fight to prevent Sharia Law or some other stupid fucking nonsense that just makes them look even dumber than the drooling morons that they are. 

    Nah, the vast majority of them couldn't name a single policy on any of these issues that they believe or that they thought their King Orange believed other than "woke dei is bad." That's literally all they cared about. They couldn't even tell you what his position was on war becasue he never had any other than just shittalking Biden/Obama. That's all they hear and all they care about, the vast majority at least.

    A more Arkansas fuckup would have been to make the double play and win, then suffer a ridiculously stupid collapse in the ninth of the next game.  

    Even the foul pop up in the finals a few years ago was a tough break because those are hard especially when it hangs up long enough for three guys to converge, even major leaguers miss those sometimes. LF looks like he lost it in the lights for a second and slipped readjusting, tough break. For the SS to consciously forego an easy game winning double play is flat out stupid decision making and way beyond any other fuckup from that inning or maybe any other similar situation in a win or go home situation.

  7. Looks awesome! I expect the Sunny side of the Abbott crossover to be far more Sunny (ABC v FX, light humor vs dark humor). But even tame Sunny is better than most things out there these days. The Golden Bachelor things looks like a great vehicle for Frank to be Frank, lol.

    Left field was a tough break. SS choosing against an easy game winning double play is an all time fuckup.

    Pretty sure that's off the table.  The head of the most powerful country in the world just told you we're already in the fight, and he demanded your "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER."  There is no middle path available.  And shit, even if there was, Bibi is all-in all on his own.

    Well they all know by now that dotard is worthless and that nothing he says has any real meaning so I don’t think that part really matters. What Iran should be doing is kissing the rest of the G7’s asses right now to get a reasonable deal in place regardless of if the US agrees, most of them have been more willing to at least criticize Israel’s actions anyway. Trump will rage tweet, call it a horrible deal, demand that we withdraw from nato, blah blah blah same ol shit. Then we’ll get distracted by more ICE raids, protests, and fascist actions at home.  The mid east tiff will be off the front page. Oh and did you see that a trans girl won another swimming medal, omg!!!

    Yep. I’ll be shocked if Trump doesn’t scuttle or overturn any federal charges. It’s so on brand and for him I don’t see how he could resist. 

    Since he can't pardon state crimes I think you're going to see the President of the United States spout nonstop lies that he's a leftist and he fully supports the death penalty for leftist terrorists. All of the evidence will show that he was a right-wing terrorist but facts don't matter anymore.

    Every mistake and misstep matters when the party itself is a clusterfuck.

    It's a clusterfuck because people, including voters on the left, demand perfection from candidates. The other side gets away with verbal diarrhea and hate. Meanwhile, the left is debating whether the word "weird" was too much or too little. I don't understand why we can't just come together and accept that the left of center today is a broad spectrum, we fight it out in primaries, than coalesce around whoever wins that process.

    It's really funny how this thread is all stories about young men that don't have problems because it's actually not a problem. Where are the stories of the young men we all know that are incel morons, I wanna hear those stories.

    I think the issues are probably overstated for clicks everytime some version of the original article gets circulated, but there is a very real issue of masculinity being marketed to young men these days in a pretty fucked up way and it definitly has reprecussions in the dating landscape.

    I don't understand how "restocking" the PAC does anything in regards to stabilizing the conference going forward and I don't see how the Big XII or the ACC adding new teams does anything for either conference.

    The argument that adding teams is adding markets really doesn't mean much when you already have a clusterfuck situation with your schedule and the networks don't want to pay you as much as the Big 10 and the SEC.  Seriously, if the Big XII adds Memphis will that suddenly make them appealing enough to ESPN and/or Fox that the networks want to pay them the same?  Will all of a sudden the Big XII be viewed on the same competitive level as the Big 10 and the SEC and the discussion now be how the Big XII deserves as many guaranteed slots as the SEC and the Big 10?

    Of course not and there is no reason to add any more teams.  What needs to happen is fix the damn scheduling mess inside conference play that came from all the uncontrolled and impulsive growth and the schools in the conference needs to step the fuck up and raise their level of play.  

    I truly believe that ultimately we will see consolidation and culling of teams instead of adding more and more teams.  The networks have already shown their down have the appetite for more and more teams,  ESPN has shown they would rather broadcast axe throwing, dodge ball, and kick ball on their "free network" and broadcast more and more college sports via they pay app.  

    The only real questions to me are what form does the new group take,  who ultimately acts as the head of this new group, and who gets culled out in the process.  

    I'm not saying the Big XII should add Memphis, I'm saying that Memphis is as high as they can get currently in G5 and they aren't going anywhere unless a Big XII or ACC opportunity arises. I also think the Big XII would be 12 teams now if the PAC had collapsed a year earlier. They would have added UU, UC, AU, and ASU only. There's a chance BYU and UH would get considered but not right away. No way UCF of Cincy get a call. 

  14. I think it's as simple as the primary media sources for that generation. Joe Rogan remains the top podcast whos primary demographic is young men and we know his approach to societal issues and "masculinity." UFC and its cast of horrible characters continues to increase in popularity and eclipsed boxing a long time ago, and boxing itself has lost most of its gentlemanly charm from prior generations. WWE used to be fun with over the top characters of all sorts, now the heels are beloved and 90% of the characters are just UFC types that aren't over the top acting, they speak directly to young male ego. The WWE did add women who can perform really well and can be considered empowering but lets be real most of the fans just see them as eyecandy. I don't know the solution, you would think that if women were rejecting them, they'd figure out that being a macho man dickhead doesn't work and they'd start acting normal but the nonstop onslaught of media trying to tell them that their definition of masculinity is correct might be too much to overcome even if pussy is on the line.

    I don't get the continuing discussion of Memphis. The PAC having WSU and ORST has some appeal but I don't see how PAC is supposed be considered better than AAC overall. Even if there was some marginal difference, or if they manage to get more money per program in media dollars, the travel would still put them at a monetary negative. Memphis is finally upgrading the Liberty Bowl but still have issues. It's Big XII or ACC for them if they move up, not the zombie PAC.

    I saw you allude to the WWIII scenario in the other thread as well. What are you thinking as far as the cause-and-effect that could lead to a "near global catastrophe" as you say, because I'm not reading or hearing this from anyone who does these sorts of analysis for a living (yet, at least).

    I don't know shit about fuck, just speculating. If America get's directly involved, we're all fucked, and I can see it being part of the crazy evangelical bring on the rapture bullshit. I'm convined these days though that most of them don't actually believe their religious bullshit and know it's all a pretext to be a supremecist asshole so they might not do it knowing goddamned well there ain't no rapture coming.

    I also think a nuke is going to be used relatively soon and if its used in war anywhere it's MAD thereafter. I've previously suspected that if Putin is truly in danger of losing to Ukraine outright he might nuke Kyiv out of pure desperation or as an ultimate fuck you before putting a bullet in how own skull. Maybe Bibi does it to Iran for whatever whack job reason.
