  1. No state is going to ban interracial marriage so that one isn't going to come up other than interviews where racist shitheads reveal themselves. The other two are gonna come up for sure. Obergefell will fall and birth control may become illegal in some states. I have no doubt about either one.
  2. Do the future payments count towards the salary cap in future years when being paid out?
  3. It was definitely a good decision to become a Navy pilot because he was a total nerd before he enlisted.
  4. This was exactly me yesterday. It even moved a little and scared the shit out of me. Almost fucking died. But the kids liked the lights for two second, lol.
  5. DeVito seems like a cool story. Too bad he plays for the Giants and therefore is doomed to suck ass.
  6. There's been lots of complaints this season about the refs. I watch Cowboys games and the last two games have been flag fests while letting a lot of stuff go (holding Micah Parsons with no calls is becoming pretty common). This just undermines all of those conversations since it was absolutely the right call. The side judge also doesn't automatically tell players when they're offsides, they usually have to be asked, and even then, it's usually the wideout, and I always thought they were asking if the ref could see the ball, which is sort of a loophole since it seems odd that a ref would tell a player whether they are violating a rule before the snap.
  7. Don't they just rake the forests? Not very flashy.
  8. I still don't get it, is their suggestion to pick up the flag after the fact because it was a fun play? He was very clearly offsides. What do these people think should have happened?
  9. I don't see us winning out so I guess if we have to drop one the Bills or Dolphins would be preferable? If we drop one to an AFC and Philly loses one to an NFC team (which is everyone left for them) how does that affect the tie breaker? Edit: Found a good article, way too much left to play, hope the Giants can muster a win against them. https://www.wfaa.com/article/sports/nfl/cowboys/dallas-cowboys-philadelphia-eagles-nfc-east-tiebreaker-scenarios-first-place-standings-playoffs/287-7571a097-17d5-4808-8239-28f2eb20ca6a
  10. Clearly correct and flagged immediately. WTF Pat?
  11. Hell yes! Fuck you filly and your shitty cheese sauce
  12. I watched it last night and it’s still great. I assume that opinion fits here.
  13. Man, I thought it was universal that you shouldn’t comment on peoples’ weigh unless they’re on a public weight loss journey or something. There are lots of reasons, the weight loss might be inadvertent and telling them they look good specifically because of weight loss means you noticed them being heavier before, something they might have never even entered their mind. Hell it’s happened to me, I was feeling self conscious having looked in the mirror a while back and feeling I had put on some pounds. Managed to drop a few and someone commented if I had lost some weight, basically confirmed my prior insecurities that people perceived me as heavier. Wouldn’t say I was “offended” but it was a shitty feeling in the moment. It’s different for women too who too often are valued by their looks over anything else. We’re better at that as a society but can always do better.
  14. Can someone with strong religious beliefs explain to me what people mean when they said they "spoke with God" or that "God spoke to them"? I've always assumed they mean they had a feeling and that "God spoke to me" is a turn of phrase like "I'm starving to death." Not meant literally, just a way to emphasis something that is felt very strongly in any given moment. But these days I'm starting to think people actually interpret their strong feelings as literal voices. Surely there aren't that many people with true psychological issues hearing voices in their head that they legitimately contribute to a literal God.
  15. Buncha racist white people have made it their mission to say this is racist against whites because they are angry they can't say the n-word anymore. It isn't about all white people but specifically dumb ignorant southern white people. It's also not about skin color in general its about sunburned necks from working the fields or whatever. It's an insult for sure but not based on race, and even if it is, I'm not going to rehash how its different than slurs against Black people and other historically mistreated minorities. I don't use it mixed company anymore because there's always "that guy" who pretends its the same as real racial slurs. Not worth my effort.
  16. Why are soccer specific stadiums (including in the US) usually built with covers over the stands but not football stadiums? I know there are a handful but nearly every one is completely opened or completely domed (including retractable domes which are closed 90% of the time).
  17. How much money has Dallas pumped into this stadium since the Jerryworld proposal was voted down? I lived in Dallas at the time and voted for it because the Dallas Cowboys should play in Dallas. They seem to come up with hundreds of millions every few years to keep one game when they could have paid a big chunk and gotten not only this game but the Cowboys and a bunch of big time events. Even more than go to Arlington because Arlington is a shithole.
