  1. They make these low ball offers because occasionally some dumb ass or desperate owner takes it. Just pass along the offer and be thankful you now have a firm bottom price for the property that you should never be near on a sale.

    Tell us more about yourself.
  3. Tre wearing a skirt. Okay then. edit: ah, shorts.
  4. Something isn’t adding up here. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is…
  5. I’m actually surprised Georgia has continued to recruit at such an elite level. While they obviously have a ton going right for them, before Smart and his extensive cheating, they recruited good but not super elite. I figured NIL would water them down at least a bit, even if they do have a lot of NIL money, because of the narrowed advantage they have today vs a few years ago. I guess it’s just the momentum. Or maybe Smart is really that great of a recruiter and manager.
  6. A post nuclear world makes the point I made even more correct. I’m not talking about military action to deny a country the atomic bomb. I’m talking about the comment made that America can simply always bully its way to whatever it wants with other countries and people.
  7. I think this point of view is one of the main defining points that separates Americans from each other. One group of Americans understands that the world is evolving and is part of a globally collected network of countries and peoples. Another group of Americans has an outdated and wrong-headed viewpoint that American is a dominant, controlling country able to impose its will on people all around the world. History has demonstrated over and over that dominant countries actually always end up behaving their way into destruction. One cannot control the minds and actions of 8 billion people. The way you get things done in a way that is sustainable over time is for those 8 billion people to want your leadership. The US for many years did just enough good things to maintain its existance and leadership. But a bully mindset and actions to match are an accelerating path to it's ultimate failure and destruction. That is a fact.
  8. This is an interesting and scary outlook on the U.S. debt and it's impact on interest rates and inflation. And just to be clear, the current Republican administration, and the Democrat administration before it, implemented and are implementing disastrous fiscal policies to address the issue effectively. We as citizens have got to get off team Red and team Blue and force our politicians to get on team America.
  9. Worst opinion in the history of the internet.
  10. I continue to be totally confused by the Homer emoji. Some posters use it negatively. Others use it positively. So whenever I see it, it means absolutely nothing to me. Whoever uses that emoji is completely wasting their time.
  11. If everyone would just put that idiot on ignore he’d just be talking to himself. I did it weeks ago and it’s the best thing I ever did.
  12. Holy shit. I heard Sark had to promise he would jump into a vat of nacho cheese to get his commitment.
  13. To be fair to Hammer, while he doesn't understand what he's talking about, there is a decent chance tariffs don't produce significant inflation over time. Why? Because it slows the economy and is a one time price adjustment. But the Fed just raised their inflation outlook for the year in their meeting. Why? It's complex, but basically it would be because we drop into a recession, thus the deficit gets even way way worse than it already is, and the excess money printing causes inflation. If our government were really serious about stopping inflation, they would have a spending bill that is more aggressive in it's spending constraints. But we've all seen how little Trump and the majority of Republicans care about that.
  14. This is correct. The documentary on OBL on Netflix was outstanding. They had most of the key people involved with getting Bin Laden on the program to comment on what happened. Because the CIA had been in charge of getting OBL (because Rummy told Bush it would take months to get people on the ground chasing OBL, so Bish said fuck it and told the CIA to go immediately), when they found him in Tora Bora there were only 4 US people there to get him, against over 1000 OBL soldiers. They tried to call in DoD, but because Rummy had a sandy vagina he he refused to help them to that point. It shows what a disaster Rummy was, but it also showed how Bush didn’t foresee that issue and nip it in the bud early. Huge mistake.
  15. I think it is safe to say that Iran will not target Trump himself with terrorist attacks. They realize Trump is their best weapon for damaging the United States.
  16. Let this be a lesson to you, OP. If your kids go on a cruise they will show up 30 years later on message boards using lame out of date terms like “lass”. Cruiser beware.
  17. What an asinine comment. Powell and the Fed have stated multiple times now that the economy is slowing, due to the policies of this administration, but can’t yet cut interest rates because of the Trump tariff uncertainty. Seriously wtf? What is wrong with you? Edit Add-On Wow. I’m still stunned at the ridiculousness of Hammer’s reference to Powell. It shows he doesn’t understand anything.
  18. I’ve learned that I’m going to feel anxious at times in June and July every year because of recruiting. It’s just the nature of the beast. They chase 40-50 players every year and are only gong to get 20-25. That guarantees 20-25 times per year when you’re going to be bummed. Embrace the Suck.
  19. CTJ has accomplished what few in history have ever done: united the entire Shaggy/Surly universe (except CTJ) in hoping that Livingstone has the greatest receiving season in Texas history. The trolling would continue for an eternity.
  20. As has been explained about 500 times on this site, inflation, and especially tariff inflation, and especially tariff inflation that is turned on and off like a light switch at the whims of an incompetent boob, will not show up in the economy for many many months and even year(s). This is basic economics 101 that apparently a significant chunk of this country doesn’t understand, just like they don’t understand that the most outrageous spending in history during Covid by the Trump administration started this entire inflation mess. And then Biden didn’t fix it, making it come down too slowly over time.
  21. We blew off the Mission impossible series after number 3 many years ago. Tonight we decided to watch 4. I just don’t get why these movies are so popular. It’s just the same fights, car crashes, stunts, blah blah blah in every one. Why do people eat these movies up?
  22. Ya I was surprised Duece Robinson wasn’t rumored at one point when he left USC.
