  1. In the 1500’s jesters could get away with a lot of insults that would get other members of court in trouble. But they were court jesters and were otherwise social pariahs. They were seen as pets. Flashforward to now with all these comedians wanting to insult others AND want the exclusive invites, premium acting jobs, and the luxuries of fame. You shouldnt be able to have both: infamy and respect. Do you want to critique society or be part of it? How can you critique the power elite if you are part of it? Joe Rogan and other comedians lament a time when they could get away with a lot. But society is in a new place and is fractured. And, how long will “too soon” jokes be funny? Since they’re no longer cutting edge, they lose value. Though they can still be funny given context. The off-putting insults of others misery are now part of a very real path to dystopia where the value of human life is diminished. Its not as funny all the time. Simply put: Rogan is now more Alex Jones than Bill Hicks. He’s sold out and has aligned with a power elite. Are you Lenny Bruce, willing to go to prison for free speech? Or, are you Greg Gutfeld, telling unfunny jokes and acting victimize when other people exercise their free speech to complain about you?
  2. Beef Fajita tacos should be compared to other tacos, not other types of TexMex entrees. Definitely from Dallas. Or, are you our governor talking about bbq - “the sauce is the number one thing” “its all about the babyback ribs”
  3. Is he a 1st Round fantasy pick?
  4. What about all these NIL deals in the Omaha/Lincoln metroplex?
  5. I’d also be surprised if Ben Roethlisberger could read good. Just so we’re not stereotyping
  6. John Voight the dentist or Jon Voight the actor?
  7. 2-year olds may not be reasonable but you can guide their behavior or they can guide your behavior.
  8. He’s a con man. They dont have to believe his lies. They just have to show they believe it.
  9. Why Todd McShay has the Eagles taking Bijan Robinson... https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2023/story/_/id/36234668/why-bijan-robinson-break-nfl-draft-running-back-bias I see it now A loaded Eagles team drafts Bijan Bijan goes all Ladanian Tomlinson on the NFL Bijan wins Super Bowl MVP Meathead sports commentators and GMs re-evaluate value of RBs Its like: Bijan is not normal. The Eagles run game is not normal. They’re anomalies. You stumble upon it.
  10. There are four gun violence crises plaguing the US that other industrialized nations do not experience. Consequently, our peers are happier and because they are happier they have less violence. We have a gang violence issue, which is not as bad as it was, but we’re leading the league so to speak. We have terroristic attacks against civilian populations by mass shooters. These are the “demonized poster children” as you describe it. They’re not tolerated in other countries beyond sporadic incidents. We have domestic violence, mostly with men shooting their family members. Not happening in our peer countries. And we have a suicides gun crisis. Whether accidental or not, gun safety legislation could save countless lives and help communities be safer, which is the intent of the 2A. We can take your post-modern interpretation of 2A to the Cloak Room, in addition to your pit-bull arguments for the AR-15 and use of “air quotes”.
  11. In college my buddy got out of our car to take a piss outside some West Campus apartment. Dude in his underwear gets out with a shotgun and chases us away. I dont recollect whether he shot at us or not, but when I tell the story he fires a warning shot.
  12. I mostly agree except Bijan is not just a decent running back. You can build a team around him. All of a sudden Davis Mills starts looking awesome because you have an Alvin Kamara running around. Basically, NFL teams need to lump the few guys like Bijan with wide receivers and not lump him with free agent running backs and jags or power backs grinding out garbage yards. But I think the Texans are so far removed from winning that stockpiling the lines is probably what they need to do.
  13. Its not how conmen work. In the Music Man, River City’s problems are likely not caused by pool halls. That was a fear tactic for him to sell bogus mail order instruments and uniforms. But I recollect Harold Hill was able to come through at the end because Shirley Jones was a smokeshow and he wanted a piece of that longterm. But Trump does not have that ability because he’s shameless and a coward. And he’s incompetent at business operations and basic leadership.
  14. There is sophisticated news tracking that really pinpoints the virility of news stories. Dominion will have that data. We saw the popularity of dewormer explode after Rogan’s podcast.
  15. We need to harden parks
  16. The 49ers are the exception not the rule. Yeah 20 years ago the Ravens won with Dilfer and a guy that looks like Ric Ocasek married a supermodel. 999,999/1,000,000 homely dudes dont land supermodels, and its not the look you want. My point is that most teams with bad QBs suck. Its a hard hard path that more times than not leads teams wandering the wilderness. See Redskin Commanders and Houston Texans (Matt Schaub).
  17. In. Didnt want to like The Batman but he was great. Just need help adjusting my tv so I can see stuff on HBO
  18. Most of us were apopletic
  19. my recollection was that mystery guy was following Drake to tent town, (then off camera) tracked down the gun dealer and knew they had a gun that could have been used in the murder. ADA needed Strickland to find the gun and any other stuff. Strickland attempted to break in house. Then after ADA pep talk, did break into office. Thats where they identified gun in safe and left it there. Other left field is that Asian secretary also overheard what teacher overheard.
  20. But Strickland did break into the office
  21. So he breaks into the safe and knows its the murder weapon? I think its the fat mystery detective who found out they had the murder weapon and then had Strickland break in to find it.
