    I am having a really hard time understanding your positions here.  You keep telling everyone that Musk is cozying up (affinity) with Putin/Russia and cares nothing about the people.  Yet, he is essentially spending hundreds of millions personally to provide Ukraine with internet access via Starlink that every person with any knowledge of the situation has aid is absolutely vital to Ukraine's success.  It has resulted in saving thousands of Ukrainian lives and led to the killing of thousands of Russian soldiers and caused Putin to lose massive amounts of money/power/influence etc in the world.  The whole invasion could possibly topple Putin.

    Listen to what you posted and liked "Both of them think it's good and right for the rich and powerful to simply take what they want and they think there should be no legal or even social checks on people like them doing whatever they want. "  No one single person (and really many countries) has done more to oppose Putin/Russia in this invasion than Musk.  

    It's all because he said he's not a fan of a certain team. It's not that hard to understand.

  2. Hearing or reading people say she is "wrongfully detained" is cringe-worthy. She broke their law, even if you buy her "I forgot it was in my bag" excuse. That would set a hilarious precedent for defense, if Russian courts even operate that way? 

    I read they are giving her 1.5:1 on pretrial time served, leaving only 8 years left to go. So there's that

    Sure.

    But I watch a lot of college football games. I see terrible, inconsistent officiating in practically every one of them.  Did you watch Clemson/Syracuse? There were two completely terrible/inconsistent roughing the QB calls in that game that basically tilted it in favor of Clemson. I’m sure all of the Syracuse message boards today are talking about how the refs are in the tank for Clemson, have a bias, blah, blah, blah.

    I’ve heard/read this exact same song and dance from OSU fans when we end up on the shit end of it.

    There’s no bias. There’s just terrible officiating every week and sometimes it bites you and sometimes it doesn’t. You just don’t think about it/notice it when it’s not negatively impacting you. Classic confirmation bias.

    I do know this - getting 8 (!) procedure/offsides calls is something that is directly in a team’s control. It literally has nothing to do with any ref “bias.”

    So I would tend to be more upset about that.

     

    The fuck are you smoking, bro. Yes bad calls happen, but when it "bites" you 14 times the other team ZERO there just might be something else going on. 

    And these issues are not mutually exclusive. We are plenty pissed about the stupid procedural infractions. In my opinion, it's more of a coaching problem than anything.
