  1. You are still not answering the question. You replied to a poster pointing out that conservative politicians and media are now changing their tune on vaccinations. ("Corporate overlords and staring down their base bearing the brunt of delta"). You replied say "Ben Shapiro hasn't changed his mind!". I agree, Ben hasn't. Do you disagree with the actual point that conservative media and news have largely been anti-vax?
  2. Yeah, all the white police officers are super fucking qualified and if anything, they spend too much time policing their own. Their only weakness is that sometimes they just work too hard.
  3. I get that being a big-brained centrist is part of your shtick, but are you suggesting that majority of conservative news outlets and politicians have NOT consistently downplayed the usefulness, effectiveness, or need for COVID-19 vaccines? I do agree that Shapiro has been pretty consistent and supported vaccines but point out an exception does not counter the general argument.
  4. What the hell are you talking about? You are semi-self-aware and you voted for Trump in 2020. You say it's not a winner but as soon as you (and many many more like you) see that (R) next to the name, you are pulling the proverbial lever.
  5. What the fuck does "the government insisting these disseminators of misinformation being completely deplatformed" mean? They are flagging posts, the same thing you or I could do. Facebook can respond the exact same way to my action vs the government's action. There is no regulation. There is no law. You language of "insistence" is intentionally hyperbolic so there is not even a reasonable response.
  6. If you're just going to ignore questions asked to you or answer with stupid shit this is not the message board for you.
  7. Wait, are you saying @GRHorn took both Willie and Earl, ummm, inside his body? I mean, I'm not judging, just doesn't seem to fit with his rugged persona.
  8. It'd not even censorship. The government is not forcing Facebook to take anything down. They are flagging shit as disinformation, which is not unique to any government task force. You can do this right now: So how is this blurring the line?
  9. Do you think Facebook is NOT a private company? That sure seems to be the inference from your question but would love to confirm.
  10. I'm not sure if you are familiar with Ohio State and it's awful shitty fans. The experience many Longhorn fans had in 2005 definitely affected perceptions of the state as a whole, right or wrong.
  11. I could see misrember but did @RayDog post much in CR? He certainly pimped his fringe science in DT and nerdz (and equivalent on prior boards) but I don't recall much of a CR presence.
  12. @JNip sucks but "your people" talk is not cool. I don't think you've called people nips in a while, so that's good, but let's keep moving forward.
  13. It's even better when the idiots somehow think this makes them look better. @Zeus and @Enchubben: This guy who is an idiot and a moron and is wrong about everything agrees with me. That must mean that he suddenly became super smart! There is no other possible explanation for why he agrees with super-smart me on this position!
  14. I wise man once told me "If you choose not to decide you have still made a choice". The decision not to tax non-profits the same way that other properties / businesses are taxed is inherently favoring non-profits (religious or otherwise). This may or may not be good, that is a separate discussion, but all decisions on tax (high, low, or non-applicable) are driven by incentivizing behavior.
  15. I have never seen anything to indicate that AI wasn't a sharp dude. The controversy around the bowling alley fight is the only real controversy involved around AI. There was the practice press conference and his role in dress / appearance but not quite sure where you are going when suggesting that it's a "miracle" he made good financial decisions.
  16. I can't quite put my finger on it but suddenly I'm not so worried about A&M anymore.
  17. I sorta get where you are coming from, as in I do appreciate all of Harden's efforts while he was in Houston and don't begrudge him for wanting a change in scenery. That said, he also has (seemingly) taken no responsibility for any of the moves that Houston made to keep him happy. There were definitely some "win now" moves that didn't pan out in terms of a title, but that came at least in part at Harden's behest. Did the Paul trade come without his input? The Westbrook trade? Also, again, I get that he wanted to be somewhere else but he left in a spectacularly shitty fashion. I've had team members leave with lots of notice and team members leave with no notice / shitty effort on the way out. There are definitely some I wish success for more than others. I am not rooting against the Nets / Harden, but I sure as hell am not going to be upset if they go out early (injury or no injury, those are part of basketball).
  18. I'm pretty sure I went to college in your hometown, but not sure of the overlap. I would go with Lee's Fried Chicken, Kyoto, Alex's, Johnny Smokestack, then Wendy's. Still sad but true.
  19. It is absolutely stunning that a poster who doesn't understand the difference between a news article and an opinion piece / letter to the editor also doesn't understand that Hayden didn't confirm that you weren't Icono. He did not that you have a different IP, but also noted that this information is becoming more and more meaningless as connectivity changes.
  20. Think tailored jerseys, crystal meth, shooting people with rubber bullets for fun, and an extreme fetish for Tucker.
  21. While I certainly understand some of your surprise, I hope you also realize that you are posting this on the 3rd iteration (I think?) of a website founded on watching young men play a game, which itself was spun off another site devoted to watching these same young men playing a game. Football is different for us because that's what we watched / played growing up but there's nothing fundamentally different about watching people play video games.
  22. Sorry we can't all reach your level of original and nuanced thoughts.
  23. Bad form attacking the looks of a poster's wife.
