    When draft opinions are distributed prior to being issued, do they circulate beyond the other justices?  I'm struggling with the idea that Thomas' wife should have even seen it, much less leaked it.  Not that I wouldn't put it past those two, I'm just wondering about the limits and expectations of the eyes on the document.

    Is this serious? Can't tell if serious?

    It is already a thing for the women in Texas to have their physicians and counselors put at risk when their pregnancy is going to result in birthing a child that will die shortly after. The health providers are at risk now for providing the option of abortion and also if they don't discuss it. How great is the quality of care going to be if doctors are put in this position? 

    The law does not make an exception for pregnant women who learn that the fetus has chromosomal abnormalities or anomalies that will cause the baby to die soon after birth. Such testing is done late in pregnancy, beyond the six-week limit, noted Crescenda Uhles, a genetic counselor in Dallas.

    “I have a code of ethics to uphold, and that is making sure I discuss with my patients all of their options, regardless of what is available in their area,” Ms. Uhles said. Depending on the medical circumstances, one of those options may be abortion.

    The hospital where she works “pays me to have these conversations with patients, but there’s not necessarily any guarantee they would have my back should someone decide to list my name on a lawsuit,” she said.

    I get where the spirit of your argument is, but if the fetus is not alive before birth it isn't an abortion. I'm not disagreeing with you that it's cruel and fucking insane to force a woman to carry to term a pregnancy that will result in the immediate or near immediate death of the baby. 

    The post said carry dead babies to term which is in fact not a thing.

    Looking forward to Texas telling women they have to carry their dead babies to term. 

    I'm pretty sure this isn't a thing.

    hi.

    for the record, I didn't send imma a message about any of this. I decided to dial back my participation by more than 99% because, well, this world is a shit show and I don't need to find refuge in an online version of it.  The primary defense to being a raging asshole here is that we do it to everyone.  That worked when I was, well like 28, but cruising toward 50 years old, that shit makes zero sense anymore.

    You know what make sense to me? Realizing people on this board have real lives, with pressures, hurts, sorrows, unmet expectations, losses, real fucking losses, the kind that could make you wish you were dead. There are people trying to make it in a world where divorce has them reeling, where alcohol calls their name every day, where mental illness is unrelenting, where kids break their hearts with drug abuse and failing grades, where spouses cheat, where parents die, where jobs are lost and dreams are broken.  The folks I want to be around now are those that are self-aware, authentic, struggling and trying their best to be kind people.  those folks are here, but they are mixed in with people like some on this thread that just aren't my kind anymore.

    I went on exactly one neg raid in 25 years and decided I'd had enough.  I'm not going to nuke my persona here or permaban myself because truthfully there are actually people here that I care deeply about, even if I only know them on line.  So without any message to imma I said my peace to my friends, I asked them to stay in touch, told them I would do the same, and I moved into the background where I will stay barring something that truly warrants my input.  There's really nothing imma or anyone can do about it, too many people here think it's ok to make fun of others and I'm simply not down for that anymore. 

    So if you think I'm a whiny bitch, have at it.  you do you bro. I'm simply not down for hate, whether in the form of a joke or otherwise, not for anyone. 

    be kind, have fun, the rest is background noise.

    You are always welcome here and I had a pretty good idea of this before you came to let us know. This didn't go in soon enough to make you feel comfortable or like you should still be a part of the community, but no one from the mod team was meaning make you or any others feel excluded or like you couldn't belong. Thanks for the message, enjoy the background.

    lbgt jokes and political posts in non cloakroom forums are the only two published no no's on this board. ok...got it.

    Those are the only 2 things that a mod doesn't need to be involved in to delete and small ban. Everything else warrants looking at and taking between a day and a month or more off depending on repeat offenders.

    then you agree that if imma is implementing this rule, it shouldn't be JUST for lbgt jokes, but for everything. but as it is, this rule only applies to lbgt content. 

    also it only takes 3 "people". so a poster and his/her 2 socks can have anyone temp banned whenever anyone makes joke, good nature and edgy or not, about lbgt. 

    that's funny as shit.

    Cr outside of Cr is on the same 3 report and then timeout thing and has been for over a year. Lol

    I wouldn't put it past at least 3 of the Republicans on the Court to "AKSHUALLY!" slavery, despite the 13th Amendment. But the real danger is to gay marriage, the prohibition on other anti-gay laws, and the legal protection of contraception. 

    The 13th amendment violates the constitution bro.

    the shit is complicated and i honestly don't know.  whatever this auto mod thing does i hope it helps but would it be "ok" if sack wrote her balls? i hate batting for sack but straight up i don't know where to draw the line.  and this most definitely doesn't seem the thread to hash out ideologies (is there one?). so here's to hoping it gets sorted out somehow. 

    It is this thread and it’s why the auto mod is a thing.

    WHO CARES ABOUT THE LEAK

    PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE ACTUAL RULING I GUESS

    I’m not trying to throw gas on the fire, but honestly what the fuck is anyone supposed to do about it? Vote in November and hope the chucklefucks elected actually grow a spine? Write strongly worded letters to your friendly representatives trash can? 
    this happened after decades of inaction and a comedy of errors induced by arrogance, ego and hubris. 
    I get that you are pissed, I’m pissed, we are all pissed, but this isn’t the first time in 2022 that we’ve been turbofucked by a woefully inept government that isn’t even close to being a representative democracy. 
    the only real thing to talk about is speculating what the fallout is and what’s next from the leak and or the ruling actually coming out.

    You may be right but this is pretty damming. Apparently this type of leak is ultra rare and violates all kinds of trust in the Supreme Court 

    Ultra rare meaning never ever happened in the history of ever. 

  10. Since apparently our mods don’t know the difference between acceptable and unacceptable jokes when it comes to transgender people there is going to be a new auto mod activated which will hide and put a poster in timeout for the day after 3 reports of anti-LGBTQ specific content. 
     

    quit your bitching and police the community.

    How do you feel about the contributions of anti-LGBTQ statements to this discussion?

    idk how do you feel about jokes about south austin's mom? 

  12. WWS was clearly just trying to kick up shit - the one post wasn't the warning, he understood the warning I didn't come in and swing a ban hammer. Stop being fragile and don't feed the trolls.

    I believe we could do that very legitimately. Chinas loyalty to the dollar is much stronger than Vladimir Putin. They don’t want nuclear war. If anything, it benefits them more for Russia to be defeated so they can feed on the carcass. If we threaten, they will not do business with Russia.

    Not sure if this is true, but it’s definitely not something they would just do as the optics are pretty horrible.

    How is that any different than when those same boosters were giving money under the table for decades. The NIL push simply legitimized the ability to pay players whatever is necessary while also enabling the "crowdsourcing" of funds to access even more money. In other words, when it was all done under the table, it wasn't practical for every fan who might want to kick in $100 to contact the right intermediary, get the payer paid, etc... Now, we have "legitimate" NIL collectives openly soliciting funds to pay players. They can hide behind whatever bullshit semantics that want about "charitable endeavors", but the only thing that really matters is how much money they can raise to get player "X" to their campus, and keep player "X"  from going to another campus. Pretending this is anything other than pay for play is fucking ridiculous. The willingness of players to switch schools for more money is hard to ignore. 

    And as soon as another school's NIL contingent decides they want to pay more than Player "X's" going NIL Deal, there's not a lot you can do to stop it other than pony up more cash. Its worse than the "road to true professionalization" because at least in the pros, you have contracts that enforce who has the right to your services. The model that was decided upon for the NCAA is a fucking joke. I don't blame the players, if I was a college player I would grab as much as the system allows me to grab, as there is no guarantee I'll ever get to the pros. 

    The number of coaches that will meet USC on the field that wont also have examples of players transferring into their program in a similar fashion will be zero. Maybe the $ figures wont be as high, and the players quite as well-known, but if you arent competing in the NIL free for all, chances are your program would never be on USCs schedule to begin with. Its how the game is played now. Everyone knows the rules.....there are no rules (or damn few). 

    Oh look, a great example of someone who thinks HWH is just like every other collective and is bullshit, because other collective are scamming pieces of shit.

    No one cares but I don't believe this at all. NIL is about paying players to play football for your school when they would have gone elsewhere. 

    Weird that nothing about Burnt Ends or Pancake Factory has anything to do with football other than the criteria for selection, because that's what the biggest demand was for and what has the most visibility and impact. 

    14 minutes ago, Blotto said:

    Of course it is. All of these NIL collectives had to come up with some bullshit narrative they could parrot to justify what they want, which is to pay players more money than other schools so those players will suit for the good guys. If its fan driven, its because fans want to win. Charitable endeavors will have zero to do with winning, but acquiring more talent than your competition should have a sizeable impact. If you posed the following question to people donating to NIL Collectives and the choice was mutually exclusive, what do you think the donors would prefer: 

    By donating to this NIL collective your desire is that...

    a.) we will be getting players involved with the community and raising significant awareness for charities that people don't know about

    b.) we will be winning more football games

     

    For me and everyone else on the board of HWH it's about A with a nice side effect of hopefully B. For Burnt Ends it is all about getting WAY MORE ACCESS into a position group in the form of interviews and appearances than this community has ever gotten before. 

    If you've been sitting on the sidelines and just watching NIL go down from the internet (pretty much everyone) then things like Burnt Ends and Pancake Factory automatically just get associated with buying players. It's fucking stupid and not the point at all.

    I know that this type of stuff will happen, but damn man. Lincoln is a real piece of shit about it. He's the biggest tamperer of all.

     

    Also, gonna see a lot of players staying in college now. Better pay, you can move around whenever you want, no salary cap.....why do they need scholarships anymore?

     

    The NFL is no longer "making it".

    Not really it'll just be a long overdue reform to rookie contracts and perhaps league minimum.
