    I understand you. You do not want to talk about politics in a thread about the police, the group that is charged with enforcing the laws of our cities, states, and country. The laws that are passed by politicians ... wait, sorry, I should not have said politicians. I am so sorry. Let me go back and add a trigger warning to the beginning of my post so that you don't feel threatened in your safe space of DT. 

    This thread isn't "about the police". It is about an incident where several cops were shot or shot at. 

    An easy way to tell that it was meant to be a discussion about the event in question as it is being reported, and not a discussion about overarching political ramifications is that it was not posted in "politics".

    You are aware that there are threads about the same topics with virtually the same thread titles posted both in politics and non-politics forums, correct? Or does that concept blow your fucking mind.

    I definitely understand. You feel unsafe when someone does not adhere to the guidelines. You need a space where you feel safe. You're also probably going to need a warning of some kind before you read a post that might trigger a negative reaction from you.

    I don't come here to discuss politics you wanking piece of dick cheese. And if i do feel like discussing politics, I do it on the forum that we have titled "politics". Is this a difficult concept for you to understand?

    You're upset that someone posted something you didn't like and you want DT to be place where you don't have to read things you don't like. Do I have that right? Are you suggesting that you want DT to be a space where you feel safe from posts that you don't like? 

    No, this is actually pretty simple. There are certain guidelines for posting that people try to adhere to here. It's annoying when people don't adhere to them and fuck up threads because of a misplaced sense of righteousness.

    But if you want to be a contrarian cunt about it go ahead.

    If you're trying to use the, "it's not cheating if everyone else is doing it, too" defense, that would certainly exonerate the Astros, too.

    They both cheated.  If you're mad at one, you pretty much have to be mad at both.

    Look, I get you're all Astros fans and you're going to defend your team.

    Auburn and Cam Newton and the Astros and sign stealing is a shitty analogy. I know it's shitty, my neighbor knows it's shitty, you know it's shitty. If you want to make a case for it being on the same level of egregiousness then do it in the Astros thread. 

    (The fact that an Alabama fan threw it out there should tell you all you need to know)

    Osborne will be trying to join Bryson DeChambeau (2015), Kelly Kraft (2011), Colt Knost (2007) and Hank Kuehne (1998) as Mustangs who have won the championship.

    Forgot about Kelly. 

    Osborne 1 down through 25.

    I haven’t opened a new account or funded one in a long time, but I use betonline.ag and betdsi.eu the most right now, and they’re both fine with timely payouts.

    Though betdsi deals dime lines in baseball, so unless their number is skewed I go elsewhere this time of year. If you’re just aiming at a futures bet I’d check a few different spots and choose based on price, I think.

    Thanks. Betonline.ag was easy. $7.50 fee on $100 but whatever. 

    Threw $40 on Clippers +125 and $60 on Blazers +1400 to win the West.

    Playing Mo Willy today at 10:50. I might melt into a puddle of disappointment.

    First 18 I've played in a looooong time. Will be lucky to break 100.

    51 out 47 in. Fucking 10 over on the first four holes. Played the last 15 17 over. 

    Bag needs some work. Missing irons, woods are garbage, lob wedge needs a new grip.

    Oh well. Had fun. Need to get back into playing, it had been too long.

    Aliens. The action and cgi practical effects hold up today. Cameron's universe is very well laid out. Paxton's role as comic relief in a gritty, serious movie is unwanted and distracting.

    Yeah it's still good. It doesn't hold up as well as Alien which imo looks better than any sci fi from before 1980 and I wouldn't say it's close. But it's a solid action flick and fleshes out Sigourneys character a bit more.

  10. I'm not sure I'll go below a 5 face. Never really thought about it that much.

    If I'm taking the effort to try and lay a 5 face she has at least an 8 body. 

    On the other side, I don't think you can have a 9 or 10 face without having at least a 4 or so body. Part of what makes a face look good is a healthy weight and taking care of your body. 

    But I would rather lay a 10 body 5 face than a 10 face 5 body any. day. of. the. week.

    7 of 8. 

    Damn - we were 3 and 8? I'll be honest I quit following for a bit after the first few games because we were sucking and I thought the season might get canned anyway.

    Do it!!!

    Nah. I've posted too much shit myself on the internet that I wish I could have taken back. He's young and cocky about his team and has already made himself look like enough of an ass.

    Hahaha! Tell his VC TCU dad Don Whelan to lock his liquor cabinet and maybe ground his kid from the internet for a bit!

    Poor bastard has no clue his kid is slingin his name all over the internet!

    Holy shit... kind of want to email him a screencap from insta.

    I mean, I'm not that petty but some people are.

    Well super easy to set up an account at bovada or betonline.ag. both take credit cards. My state doesn't allow it but if yours does I've heard that the book at Draft Kings is way better than the traditional offshore books. Also take a look at bet365. These are all reputable books. You are not going to get hosed out of your money. Good look. Cheers. 

    Thanks. I've used bovada in the past - was wondering if the landscape had changed at all. 

    And yeah, fanduel or draftkings would be awesome but I'm in Texas.

    @ztejas What are you trying to do? I am not a bookie. 

    I think that placing futures bets a lot of times are - bad math deals for the gambler. If you're talking about winning a division? Yeah that makes some sense. If you're talking about betting the Mavs to win the West? Take whatever you were going to invest in the future and bet the series price. Roll your original investment + profit into the next series price. Almost always you are going to come out way, way ahead should your team actually win what you are investing in them for. 

    I'm trying to place a bet. I'm not looking for gambling advice - looking for advice on where to set up an account or if it would be easier to just try and track down a bookie for a one off.

    Thanks though. 

  16. SMU junior golfer Charles Osborne is playing in the US Amateur final tomorrow - just 5 years after Dechambeau won it as a junior.

    2 US Am champs in 5 years would be pretty pretty pretty hot shit.
