    Because you have to prove those NIL deals are real which they can’t do. 

    Everyone knows they’re just cheating and it’s not NIL. I saw this coming. Everyone keeps arguing “just admit it’s NIL” but what happens when other schools start telling them to show their work? 

    Makes sense ... what's not obvious to me is how does one define "real." There does not seem to be a type of fair market value or commensurate standard. That would make sense, but it sounds like one could pay a player a million dollars to attend his kid's birthday party and that would be "real."

    Seriously, I'm so confused. If they are NIL deals, they're legal, just own it already. If its not NIL, it's under the table shit from the 80's. Nobody anywhere believes that aggy all of a sudden is a top landing spot for 5 star players based on results, because their results have been the same since the 1940s, sustained mediocrity with a few upsets here and there.

    Same here ... sounds like in Texas there are rules around NIL, which aggy seems to have <allegedly LOL> violated.

    Nah bro, I ain't into weird shit like that. I mean I will hit up a local chick on Insta or Snapchat but I ain't trying to ride Elon's nuts on social media.

    Why do you do that?

     

    I guess Elon should be grateful for that. You should try to get laid vs pining for a stranger on a BBS full of morons. Use you cute little GIF online and you'll be the talk of ATX Btown.

    Is it any wonder maga conservatives are meeting in Hungary? Viktor Orban is preaching GRT everywhere and his operatives are saying Fucker Carlson’s TV shows that extol the virtues of GRT should be made available 24/7:

    https://www.vox.com/2022/5/19/23123050/hungary-cpac-2022-replacement-theory

    On May 16, just days after the deadly mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, motivated by conspiratorial fears of white WestUIerners’ “Great Replacement” by minorities, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán endorsed the shooter’s ideology in a nationally televised speech.

    “Part of the picture of the decade of war facing us will be recurring waves of suicidal policy in the Western world. One such suicide attempt that I see is the great European population replacement program, which seeks to replace the missing European Christian children with migrants, with adults arriving from other civilizations,” Orbán said.

    Orbán is a close observer of American politics; the speech literally contains an exhortation to “make Hungary great again.” It is implausible, as the Guardian notes, that he was unaware of the concern in Washington over “Great Replacement” ideology — a conspiracy theory that posits a shadowy plan to “replace” the white Western population with immigrants and the children of nonwhites.

    But Orbán is not adopting this language in response to events in America: It has been a central element of his ideology for years.

    “I think there are many people who would like to see the end of Christian Europe,” he said in a representative 2018 radio interview. “They believe that if they replace its cultural subsoil, if they bring in millions of people from new ethnic groups which are not rooted in Christian culture, then they will transform Europe according to their conception.”

    In contemporary Hungary, we see a country where “Great Replacement” theory dominates not just official rhetoric but also policy. Migrants are treated cruelly at the border, while the government casts LGBTQ minorities as a threat to Hungarian birthrates and pushes a message to convince women to take up “traditional” roles as homemakers and mothers. Advocates for immigration and immigrant rights, like the Hungarian American Jewish philanthropist George Soros, are described as enemies of the state and attacked accordingly.

    Dude ... you have to subscribe to the talking points ... it's 

     

    ULTRA MAGA ! ! !

    He revels in sticking it to convention and trolling people he doesn't like. I certainly can think of a sunset of folks who get a kick out of that. 

    In some cases, musk's style leads to breakthroughs in engineering and design by going back to basics and first principles like his success with SpaceX. In other cases he waaaaaay overextends himself, amped up on his own false bravado. His move to get Twitter is the latter in my opinion. 

    It's just weird. I mean why don't we have a thread where all the betalabs can lose their shit about the CEO of Walgreens.

    I'm not going to wade through the original COVID thread, but I thought we were all pretty sure it was easy to spread, given how much the Chinese government lost their shit early on, complete with locking people into their apartments, spraying down the streets with disinfectants, etc.  Plus, we were pretty sure it had been in the US for months before shit started to shut down in February/March.

    My only problem with that, is that I assume the mortality rate for any disease in then Congo is going to be high, because Congo, and a lack of resources.

    You forgot #noracist

    Bought tickets yesterday for the first Friday.  Reviews are great because Tom Cruise understood this movie for what it is.  Same reason why Favreau has done so well with the Star Wars series.

    Fans want the Greatest Hits.  They don't care about the new album.

    100%. I don't need my childhood reimagined ... I want to re-live it.

    Watched the original last night. It holds up.

    I am confused on the politics side of things..was wendy tryin to be president or something? 

    It seemed like a lot of narrative gymnastics just to shoehorn in stolen elections conspiracy theories. Wendy becoming George Soros is about as plausible as the other dumb plot lines. Hell, If they'd wrapped shooting a few years later they'd have Marty elected as president of Ukraine defeating Putin.
