  1. Gives me flashbacks to that fucker Edmonds.
  2. My understanding is the she forget to give up the funk when she visited Chocolate City. Hence she is now trailing Dr Funkenstein, who is himself mired in controversy after his debate with Sir Nose D Voidoffunk.
  3. Man this is really gone tank Javier's trade value.
  4. Much like the pitchers in last game, you can say any given ALDS was not spectacular but taken as a whole is pretty incredible.
  5. 6 motherfucking run differential over 4 games. It's why I enjoy the hell out of these times. This too shall pass
  6. If nobody got me I know @Vic Mackey and crying Jordan got me.
  7. What favor said they do for us? Do you mean correctly calling a fumble when there was a fumble, correctly not calling targeting when there wasn't targeting, or something else?
  8. Yankee fan in Texas can't quite grasp the difference between "a particular October in New York may be rainy", which is absolutely true, and his statement of "October in NYC is no joke ... Rainy & stuff", which is demonstrably untrue (relative to other months in NYC).
  9. Umm, not sure if you've been following the news lately but I'm not sure that a GDP comparison of Russia and Texas from 2019 is particularly accurate these days...
  10. Agreed. But as a thought experiment, if there is a predominant religion that says "all shirts must be blue", then there is a chance that laws / regulations will be passed mandating blue shirts. As someone who likes to wear green shirts I have skin in the game. So it may be accurate to say that atheists / agnostics don't have skin in the game about whether scripture is true or not, but they certainly have skin in the game regarding whether scripture is perceived as true when it is a major cultural force. And given that skin the game, many atheists / agnostics have incentive to understand the scripture, if nothing else to try to influence how it is perceived. Bring this specifically to homosexuality, I believe your view that it is biblically wrong but you don't want to pass laws discriminating against homosexual behavior. I don't share your view, but I believe it. At the same time, while an agnostic, I do have skin in the game about scriptural beliefs / understandings because many Christians who have similar views on Christianity as you do want to discriminate against homosexual or other non-Christian behavior.
  11. Without wading into trying to convince anyone whether any given interpretation of scripture is correct or not (they ain't gonna happen in this thread) I think the bolded statement is not correct. Atheists and agnostics do have skin in the game simply because Christianity has an immense amount of influence on culture and government at all levels. Not even arguing whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, but surely you agree that any given interpretation does impact us all (at least in this earthly life, if not afterlife)?
  12. Any update on this? Otherwise this is a pretty neg-worthy troll when people are trying to mainline on pure aggy heroin but get the fentanyl.
  13. Brent Venables thinks we need more crypto and sports betting commercials.
  14. To be fair, there should be a "he needed killing" clause for Trump in particular. Not literally, and only I should be the decider on when the clause is brought to bear, but I think it would improve the justice system a whole helluva lot.
  15. got damnt, take it to the cheating chess butt plug thread.
  16. There is absolutely zero chance that cat didn't immediately turn around and try to go down the up escalator.
  17. Generally I agree - here the point was not to make a partisan one, rather to point out the economic bona fides of said poster. That said, neg away.
  18. Reading hot economic takes from someone who claimed in November of 2020 that "Our economy has been basically back to pre Covid" will never not make me laugh.
  19. They are Texans as Cruz is Abbot as Paxton is Patrick and we are all together fucked. Goo goo g'joob
