  1. Arch having 5x more ads aired than completed passes is certainly less than optimal
  2. This is just gross. Nothing to be excited about on offense
  3. It took two bonehead penalties to keep it going
  4. Wow ok fuck this
  5. For fucks sake.
  6. #75 got away with a massive hold there
  7. Love to see the defense on point. Let's close out all 4 downs
  8. Filed under "shit we already knew"
  9. Importantly, it's no longer a novel virus and our bodies and immune systems have exposure that helps fight future strain mutations. So at least we got that going for us
  10. It sounds like they're trying to steal your car from you
  11. the last line TLDR is how I feel seeing futureman and 52-80 chirp for unintentionally misgendering (I think?) the Minnisota mass shooter. They're just trolling looking for a response, using a subject that they're actively cheering on getting worse
  12. no no no, many people are saying! Since so many people are saying, it MUST be true! So many people wouldn't be saying if it weren't true!!!
  13. I don't think it's a malevolent outside force building chatrooms and online spaces to transmute children into different genders to troll parents. That's fucking ridiculous. I think the social destruction of third spaces (and places in general to just exist without work) is what's driving people into the conspiracy scenario you frame it as. There's nowhere to hang out that ISN'T online for many kids. I agree that this is the most likely scenario - but one step further, kids like to try things on. They'll proclaim that pizza is their favorite food one day, and be mad that they got pizza the next. I think much of the energy from children wrt/ "I'm trans!" is much the same, only adults are taking them seriously rather than as a object of play that it is.
  14. ftfy
  15. I genuinely didn't know the gender of the shooter, I was more concerned with the hate and firepower they put on display - but tip of the cap to you for correcting me. First time I've seen you actually try, so well done Or is this just a troll bit?
  16. you're citing pandemic numbers to assert that crime is rising after the pandemic? Also, your chart shows a decrease in homicide from 2021->2022, indicating a reducing trend so your chart doesn't support your position
  17. Quoting from Helobious in another thread Dude was off his rocker and was concoction of insanity and edgelord shit from the dregs of the internet
  18. She's been formally fired by MAGA now https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/27/cdc-director-susan-monarez-.html?msockid=0fb9a436d9bd6ddb12e3b10dd8a56cba "Susan Monarez is not aligned with the President's agenda of Making America Healthy Again," White House Spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement to NBC News. "Since Susan Monarez refused to resign despite informing [Health and Human Services Department] leadership of her intent to do so, the White House has terminated Monarez from her position with the CDC." The statement comes hours after attorney Mark Zaid said he was representing Monarez and that she had not actually been fired yet or stepped down, adding that she would not resign. "When CDC Director Susan Monarez refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts, she chose protecting the public over serving a political agenda," Zaid said in a statement. "For that, she has been targeted." Earlier on Wednesday, HHS said in a post on X that "Monarez is no longer director" of the agency. Monarez, a longtime federal government scientist, was sworn in on July 31. She is the first CDC director to be confirmed by the Senate following a new law passed during the pandemic that required lawmakers to approve nominees for the role.
  19. Next you're gonna tell me there's a vanishingly small percentage of trans people in sports too, which wouldn't make any sense given how many laws have been passed on that particular concern
  20. Does nobody else see that this is building and manufacturing consent to completely do away with the representative democratic system "since #bothsides are doing it"?
  21. ... Finish the sentence, I know you can do it! ... Because there is not enough availability in the courts to indict and try people on a speedy basis, as is their right. That limitation isn't the DA's fault, but whomever has been controlling the state for decades. With that said, sounds like you're trying to CR the thread, should probably move to a more appropriate forum lest you upset chickensandwich Gotta say, the way this has advanced from grievance rhetoric to political attack to "actual issue" is shaped EXACTLY like how the election truthers and antivaxxers in 2020 shaped their argument too. Concern troll enough to get "many people are saying and concerned..." to manufacture consent for literally anything. The exact same playbook is being ran in parallel right now at the CDC, BLS and the Federal Reserve with
  22. It's crazy how many mistrials and "trial date too far away" happens leading to these sorts of outcomes - it's a consistent element in all of the stories that y'all link to. I would think that addressing that systemic lack of capacity and ability at the justice system level would fix the things that cause you so much concern. It's wild our state hasn't expanded the number of judicial benches in decades, while our population has doubled. But then again, manufacturing boogymen so you can blame intentional systemic issues on them is productive too
  23. Really some incredible ground game going on here to set the table to continue to dehumanize trans people, and ignore the holy shit number of things wrong in the shooters head. He was a trans nazi that was pro-russia? Yeah definitely just because trans, definitely nothing else wrong there.
  24. It's wild seeing all the buy signals for NVDA, they have way down forecasts on sales looking forward. I've posted on the chatGPT thread, but the whole LLM game is horrifically unprofitable despite our entire economy riding on that one thing
