  1. Because saying "Free Palestine" is illegal or something
  2. I think revenue sharing is probably being rolled into it as well at least for the numbers we're seeing this season
  3. Reputable sources have claimed that they paid $5 million for AJ Dybantsa so I think I probably believe it
  4. Dude probably posts in the gun owners thread
  5. What the fuck is this shit LMAO https://jewishinsider.com/2025/04/netanyahu-pushes-back-on-anti-israel-trends-in-meeting-with-podcasters/
  6. Lol buddy trust me you don't have to explain the difference to me, I've seen plenty of both.
  7. You're gonna see a lot of this. BYU just paid $3.5m for one of Baylor's players.
  8. She also deserves criticism and some percentage of the blame for the awful handling of sexism, sexual assault/harassment, etc. at SpaceX. She's not a saint, she's just objectively a rockstar engineer, which was the original point. From a technical competency standpoint, she's everything Elon Musk wishes he could be, and she's a woman so I'm sure that's why she may be getting overruled by him lately.
  9. Yeah I guess the point I was trying to get across is she has been untouchable for a long time but maybe things are shifting as Elon becomes more and more unhinged, and perhaps he is interfering to a degree that she's unable to control now.
  10. This isn't the dunk you seem to think it is
  11. LFG If by some miracle Darrion Williams comes back....whew
  12. I'd like to start and own a bad post factory, I have extensive experience
  13. I'm not sure I'd argue he's top 10 right now even though he just won. You don't need to be top 10 to win a natty. You need the right head coach, a good stable of assistants, a well constructed roster, and a great support system behind it all. Your facilities, your basketball operations program, the general manager, all that shit is just as important if not more important than the head coach individually.
  14. Before you type posts like this you should consider: What top 10 coaches were available to hire? Which one(s) would have left their current position for Texas? How much do you think the AD would be willing to pay for one of them?
  15. I don't even think disentangling from China is a good idea. In my opinion, it's in the best interest of the global economy for the US/Chinese economies to remain as entangled as they are. To me, it's ridiculous to care even a little bit about how much US debt they hold. Who gives a shit?
  16. No, it doesn't fully explain it at all but it's a big part of it.
  17. It's all inside baseball but I know a fair number of people in the industry (at Blue Origin, SpaceX, and JPL) and every single one of them speaks extremely highly of her engineering and organizational leadership acumen. The people I know at Blue still (I was actually talking to one of them about this a few days ago) lament that Bezos was unable to poach her from SpaceX, and he tried very hard. A direct, verbatim quote from one of my friends at SpaceX (chief engineer level, though technically SpaceX doesn't have that title) that I've referenced here multiple times is "She's the only person alive that can tell Elon no to his face and that he can't fire." She's probably his biggest hiring win, ever, SpaceX likely wouldn't be what it is today without her, and that's the last time you'll ever hear me sing the praises of a C-suiter. That said, there are some recent rumblings that the relationship has become strained due to Elon's increased insanity and certain corners they are being forced to cut in the design and testing stages (I don't have any details for that, sorry).
  18. Yeah probably, it just depends on what the store's policy is for dealing with customers like this. If they have carte blanche to just boot customers the fuck out for doing shit like this, then sure, but I suspect they don't want to do that for [probably dumb] reasons.
  19. Don't go down this path, it's pretty much on equal footing with denying the genocide in Gaza. It's not just the US media in this case, the repression of the Uyghurs and various other ethnic/religious minorities in the region has gotten plenty of traction abroad and among various world human rights organizations over the past several years. @immamac is 100% correct here, the forced labor taking place there is a major driver of the cheap goods that China brings to the global market. The main issue is that, due to the heavy handedness of Chinese internet censorship, it is very difficult for information to filter out beyond China's borders regarding what exactly is going on there.
  20. Why not Norman Dale, Pete Bell, or idk Batman while you're at it
  21. Sorry your mom is such a coward /s Nah I agree, they shouldn't do it. I'm just saying if I was a store manager I'd probably let it go and ask him not to do it again.
