  1. True, but religious folks, primarily in America, are by a large margin significantly worse on average, for reasons discussed in here, they think they are allowed to be cruel and hateful as a matter of devine righteousness. I have far more repsect for people who are assholes and are okay just being assholes.
  2. Hate to always be a stickler but language matters. That ain't a shart that's full on shitting your pants.
  3. McCasland seems like he'd stay at Tech until a blueblood comes calling. Didn't know his was was a tortilla tosser, that pretty much seals the deal it would seem.
  4. I see what you’re saying but the base path stays the same and I’m not seeing how a first baseman can manipulate the play. The runner can just run through the white bag same as without the colored bag.
  5. All explained above and not arbitrary. Routine play at first: Fielder can only use white bag runner can only use colored bag. Dropped third strike: Fielder and runner can use either bag. Passed ball at 1st or fair hit goes into foul territory passed 1st: Fielder and runner can use either bag. First baseman can’t use the colored bag in any other circumstance so can’t “force” the runner to use the white bag. Also nothing prevents the runner from running through the white bag in that circumstance. Not sure why you think catcher beaning runner would be an out, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the runner called for obstruction in a n ordinary run through at first. The rule says running lane rules apply either way so what you’re describing sounds more like fielder interference. What’s arbitrary about whether the fielder is in fair or foul territory?
  6. Pretty much, just two exceptions. I also confirmed that the runner can touch only the outside bag unless one of these exceptions are in play. Makes sense because the entire point is to avoid collisions or stepping on ankles.
  7. Good question, I looked it up. Out.
  8. First base has literally been treated different for an eternity, it's the only base you can run through and still be safe. The outside bag serves a single purpose, to run through, it's then not a base anymore, just like you can't run past it anymore, it's just a regular base. It actually makes sense that it's a different color so that it's clear which base is the base and which is no longer a base. Really not that hard, like at all, to coach and understand. How dare they try and protect ankles, so fucking woke. Fucking idiot.
  9. Aggy is a complete dumpster fire having nothing to do with midweek upsets, lol.
  10. The NCAA baseball social media people need to stop making such a huge deal about midweek "upsets" by small conference teams over P5 teams. The P5 squads are deep into their bullpen saving their primary starters for the weekend series while the small conference squad is far more likely to go all out to get a big win. And baseball is a game that in general is not a sport where a team can just dominate an entire season, there are going to be long stretches of scoreless innings, sometimes midweek against small conference squads. It's part of the game.
  11. California should have done this when they fucked with fire aid but Newsome was probably too busy doing the math on trans panic.
  12. In exchange Anthony Davis has to sit on the Cowboys sideline in street clothes for two seasons.
  13. Saw Wheelie Nelson in a comment section and liked that one too.
  14. And yet is not the worst or most detestable professional sports owner in DFW. I fluctuate between angry and depressed over that one. I likely won’t ever watch another NBA game again, another area of interest that has been taken from me. It’s not even about Luka himself, if there had been a return of picks OKC style I could get through some rebuilding years. However, the owner is a complete cunt and I can’t fathom investing time and energy when it’s clear her intention is for the franchise to fail. I loved being a Mavs fan through thick and thin for the last 20 years and it’s over. Does mourning sometimes involve anger?
  15. So are you mad about the technicalities of whether the he’s a formal member of National Socialist German Workers' Party or are you mad that people don’t like him in general? He’s a white supremacist and overall bigot and he very blatantly used a nazi salute on stage, hence why people call him a Nazi despite very likely not being a formal registered member of the German political party in whatever form it might still exist today. Would you feel better if we said he resembles a nazi or is a Nazi supporter as opposed to he is a nazi? Do you get this mad when someone calls California sparkling wine Champagne? Because it’s coming off as big time cloak room Elon worship. There’s a whole separate thread for that so I’m seriously curious if it’s the technicality that’s bothering you to raise it in this thread.
  16. Yeah, ok, i'm sure this is the time one of these assholes will be held accountable. I really feel like people are forgetting the obvious, the majority of voters in this country love it, all of it, or don't give a shit. Nothing will come of this but a few more days of chatter then on to the next disaster that the majority of voters will cheer on. They literally tried to overthrow the government 4 years ago and it only gets mentioned sometimes. This is our new reality. Nothing matters, nothing, period.
  17. This cuntstain ruins fucking everything. This weekend OKST wrestler Wyatt Hendrickson defeated Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson of Minnesota to win the national heavyweight title, some are referring to it as the biggest upset in college wrestling history. He's a transfer from Air Force and is an officer and will report for service after the school year. Dotard and Elmo were there in Philadelphia for some reason and Hendrickson gave him a salute and got a pat on the back. Ordinarily, it's a pretty cool story, the president is the CIC after all. But this one is a traitor who has betrayed our allies and sided with our enemies, oh and he's a racist piece of shit at that who has removed stories of historical racial milestones in military history, is gutting the VA, berated war hero McCain because he was a political opponent, called soldiers suckers and losers, among all the other shit. There is no respect for the CIC title under these circumstances, and I have zero respect for anyone, including service members, who offer this type of respect, because he doesn't deserve it, period. Granted I don't follow wrestling much but would find some joy in seeing my alma mater have this type of success, but fuck him, and fuck the whole thing. Go to hell dotard, same for any of you who worship this fuckhead.
  18. Reported for domestic terrorism. “If you see something say something.”
  19. The obvious answer is to reform the immigration system to make it easier for foreigners to enter the country to work legally while paying taxes and making sure they aren't committing crimes. Would be pretty easy to implement a system where they have to check in regularly to show they are working or looking for work and staying out of trouble. But of course that's not plausible, because it's about racism and hatred for brown people who speak Spanish, period.
  20. But that fat Stooges look alike is still out there saying that it was a "win now" trade. I hope there is someone on the inside that is willing to leak the real motivation for the trade to either confirm many of our suspicions or if there is something we never even thought about. Literally nobody thinks that trade was anything but intentional to tank the franchise, period. OKC has built an arsenal of draft picks through trades of far less talented players, and we got jack fucking shit for one of the top 3 players in the world and likely a top 50 player alltime by the time his career is over. With nothing of note in return. There is not a single objective explanation that has any merit that the trade made any sense for anyone who truly cared about the franchise's short and long term success, period.
  21. From the other thread and regarding the above conversation as to whether using the platform was intentionally to avoid FOIA exposure, I think the answer is a very obvious yes. It wasn't just convenience, it was to avoid transparancy, which is a common theme throughout almost everything this administration and its supporters do on every issue. The outrage isn't so much about a common mistake of adding the wrong person to the text chain, it's that fucking war planning was happening on a fucking text app in the first place regardless of encryption, etc. I'm no military guy but it seems that when planning top secret military strikes that convenience should be of very little concern? My job routinely has in person meetings for certain important high level topics for many reasons none of them having to do with national security. And isn't this from the people who are railing against "remote" work? Maybe it doesn't have to be in a bunker somewhere, but at least an inperson discussion in a physical conference room? The fact that this mistake was even possible is the underlying issue, and the reason they were using the platform is highly relevant, and it was to avoid transparency.
  22. Dem officials were put through months on end of congressional hearings for literally everything from the completely false and mundane to things or a more serious nature, while Fox News ran it 24/7, yet not a single one was even in the realm of fuckup as sharing fucking war plans with a journalist. But you knew that you fucking simp. Wake me up when the republican controlled congress does anything more than “share some concerns.” The speaker of the house has literally already said “we’ll look into it and make sure it doesn’t happen again.” Or as you would say “both sides.”
  23. It'll be 75% of the time agreeing with each other about wokeness and trans people, guaranfuckingteed. Bill is so pathetic these days.
  24. We’re gonna be 9/11’d again real soon, absolutely guaranteed. Probably give it another year or so to let the incompetence really set in but it’s gonna happen. Good luck everyone.
