  1. That's where the cultivated lab-grown meat comes in. Well that's where it would have come in if we weren't destroying our scientific and regulatory capabilities.
  2. Agreed but part of me doesn't include Penn State. The deep navy is just so boring.
  3. We're too comfortable still. The comeuppance happens after the pain. Which genuinely makes me sad because it will be our kids or grandkids because there aren't enough adults right now who are in enough pain to do shit about it.
  4. Can't win 100 in a row unless you win the first two.
  5. Game is tied with Abreu playing that because the runner knows he isn't catching it.
  6. Meyers with the hardest hit ball this inning. Poor Rake Farm.
  7. Have to crush that terribly located breaking ball, but he did so it's a start.
  8. They pretty much have to make Shipley room with McCoy Bruce, right?
  9. I can see that angle but we're past the being nice stage. The reason JBJ's feelings are hurt is that his position is 100% created by his feelings even if he doesn't realize it. He was completely wrong on the facts, completely wrong on the law, and his response after that is "this isn't the right place to discuss it." Not because he was wrong, but because now that he's aware that he's completely wrong about the facts and the law he's getting uncomfortable that his government really is illegally disappearing people.
  10. So an underappreciated (at least by me) aspect of the road to fascism is that there is apparently a large percentage of the population who don't realize how dire the situation is because they don't want it to be that bad. Because it would make them uncomfortable if the country they love is in that bad of a situation. We've all known about and talked about the two main groups that get focused on that lead to authoritarian states. There's the group that loves it and wants it, the fascists. And there's the group that just doesn't care enough about anything as long as they have their comforts, which while they suddenly disappear once it's too late they're still there on most of the journey. This group is the morons. A third group in the modern version is the team sport politics dunderheads who will believe anything their team says. We all know about that newer third group. I had not realized how big the fourth group is. Fairly intelligent people who simply can't believe what's happening so they don't believe what's happening. "But how can that be? This is my country, we don't do that." We've got a few around here in that group for sure. And while @immamac doesn't like it, that group has to be woken up. Kind coddling isn't going to make them understand, because they inherently and deep within their minds don't want to understand.
  11. I'm sure all the American born coonasses will be all over that. 70 hours of hard manual labor in 110 degree heat index for $770 before taxes. Immigrants make this whole thing work, make the nation function. Not for long.
  12. It's not insanity, it's excellent. Adults are now able to freely move and determine their own path. Many will make terrible decisions, many will find better situations. You know, like every other person in the country. Sorry you don't get to cheer for the same guys dribbling a basketball. The best part to me is that everyone cries and wails during transfer season then gives absolutely zero shits once the season starts and they realize they're actually just cheering for the uniform. And yes, the fact that dirty ass Baylor could lose their entire roster (odds are at least a couple come back) isn't a bug, it's a feature.

    Bert!

    He's a kicker. It's not as unusual as we think, we've just been blessed with an unusually good run of kickers over the years.
  14. True but you realize now ESPN will be in charge of hiring a replacement right? If we end up with Stephen A. Smith or Skip Bayless on Gameday I'm holding you personally responsible.
  15. Exactly. This rule won't do shit. All Kiffin has to do is have a dedicated coach and player communicate to go down as soon as a play ends. That player looks at that coach immediately at the end of every play and can easily go down before the ball is spotted if he gets the signal.
  16. Corso is retiring. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/44713375/lee-corso-sign-college-gameday-analyst-august
  17. I mean do you even see your own internal disconnect? "Democrats need to offer carefully considered messaging utilizing logic and relatable ideals in order to convince the voters who are... checks notes... dumb as hell and not swayable with logical reason."
  18. Yeah. They suck because they try to do what you're saying they should try to do.
  19. This is why they lose. Do you seriously believe that if they wait for a perfect case that Fox News won't say the exact same thing? Careful consideration is dead. If you want people to believe something you say it's true over and over and over again.
  20. Hahaha carefully presented. Reality left you behind a long time ago, man. Careful consideration is dead. Just like your beloved justice system.
  21. We just might, we only wasted one run today and it was worth it to see a Yordan piss missile.
  22. Would be funny if as soon as their federal funding is ended Havard immediately expelled every law student who's a member of any Republican affiliated club. Once you remove the funding there's no stick left. Obviously they wouldn't for many obvious reasons but I can chuckle at the idea.
  23. It's a great sign when you can read something on a message board and think to yourself "Hey self, this is an opportunity to use the fact that everyone knows I'm really quite dumb in my favor to help me troll."
  24. Yes. I also cast stones at Texas so it's okay.
  25. My flood insurance went up 7x at one point even though I did everything "right." I intentionally made sure my purchase was in a 500 and not 100 year flood plain in the Houston area. Whichever engineer from the Army Corps most have been a graduate of the Fake Army Corps at A&M because when our neighborhood was resurveyed after the second flood (Harvey) we are the lowest point here. So if I can get screwed when I didn't even ask for it then these assclowns can get fucked when they voted for it.
