Not saying you're wrong about Cal being below their standard but their current head coach has a grand total of 0 NCAA tournament wins all time. I'm not sure what their standard is or if it's anywhere near realistic in 2024.

So he's saying his CR experience is much more pleasant than his Football board experience and that's.....bad? I mean, I understand why you have a bad CR experience, but you're not making the point you think you are, champ.

Ok, now that I'm actually home... First off, no I did not and that was a big mistake on my part and I will absolutely own it. I have pretty carefully curated by Twitter feed to filter out as many chud accounts as possible, but sometimes shit slips through and I don't see it, especially if I have no idea who the person is. Anyway, when I saw it, I immediately went and found Ben's actual tweet and read the community note and assumed it was accurate as the post has now been there for over a year I guess. My only meager excuse is I was on an airplane when I posted that and should have waited to do my due diligence before I posted anything. Unfortunately, sometimes we all make mistakes. Similar to how you repeatedly conflated Israel and its interests with the worldwide Jewish community and its interests in the aftermath of Oct 7, apologized for it, and then repeated that process over and over again until you finally realized how laughably (and unintentionally) antisemitic you were being and stopped. Or you got bored, I can't really tell. Or when you proudly pantsed yourself by throwing your full-chested support behind Elise motherfucking Stefanik's bullshit kangaroo court because you really really just wanted those pesky college teenagers to shut the fuck up or something. Or when you repeatedly claimed that posting about Israel's intelligence failures and Netanyahu's seemingly deliberate inaction prior to Oct. 7th was nothing more than an antisemitic conspiracy theory, only to have the two largest Israeli media outlets come out later and say the exact same fucking thing. You got real quiet about that one real quick, I can't imagine why. I could go on, but I think I've made my point. It's awesome that you always have infinite energy to shit on me when I make a mistake, yet you never ever have any smoke at all for posters like prong, who has happily posted weird, Islamophobic, anti-Palestinian garbage from every goddamn groyper-adjacent freak Twitter account in existence for over a year. But hey, at least you got some internet points today. Good job! We could be talking about the latest ceasefire proposal (put forth by Egypt) being rejected by Hamas or how Israel is not just failing to improve the stream of aid into Gaza but is actively making it worse (despite the 30-day deadline given by the US), but nope we gotta do this I guess.

Understood.

Thanks for posting, I had no idea that was propagated by the weird MAGA communist guy and was only going off the community note under Ben's post. That's what I get for just automatically assuming everything he posts is bullshit and not bothering to look into it further I guess.

@Pancho the game day thread doesn't unlock until 6PM, idk if you intended that or not.

6 Big 12 teams, 5 SEC teams unless I miscounted. Solid.

Using AI generated images to spread lies? Not Ben Shapiro, no way.

He's a giant pussy

Lmao She is so dumb. I give her a pass mostly because she's not outwardly mean-spirited like Elon and his ilk, but boy were they a match made in low IQ heaven.

SIAP

That seems bad.

All I'm seeing is the news is Israel air striking the Bekaa region.

Posting this as I haven't seen anyone talk about it yet, happened a couple of days ago: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/cnn-s-abby-phillip-ejects-guest-mid-show-over-ugly-comment-directed-at-mehdi-hasan-that-is-not-going-to-happen-here/ar-AA1t6zbD I find this incredibly amusing because his rhetoric is basically indistinguishable from some posters on this site and I could pull up a whole lot of receipts in this thread alone from posters that are otherwise progressive/good posters that made posts that sound exactly like this guy. Classic Zionist NPC talking points, if you speak up in defense of Palestinians you're Hamas and you should die. Rinse, repeat.

This is exactly what he's doing, they're not even being transparent about it. He's been meeting with Trump.

I work with a large group of Puerto Ricans (mostly women) in Killeen (no I don't live there), and they're wonderful people. I have gone to so many potlucks thrown by someone's boricua abuela that I've lost count. Most of them are huge normies but some lean to the right, or are at the very least extremely susceptible to right wing propaganda as they tend to be very family oriented and thus are vulnerable to right wing agitprop about "leftists" trying to destroy the family unit. I remember going and speaking with some of them one day at the office and they were talking about the movie Sound of Freedom...how sad it made them and how we need to do more to combat human trafficking etc etc. I spent probably 45 minutes explaining to them exactly who Tim Ballard really was and I made a bet I need to collect on with one of the ladies about how he would be outed as a human trafficker within 5 years, guaranteed. It's just a very normie perspective within that community from what I've seen. Of all the Puerto Ricans I have met, I would say probably around 30% of them were inclined to vote Trump for one reason or another, after that rally and all the texts and Facebook posts I've seen and people I've spoken to directly, I would say that number is probably under 10% now. They don't play around with shit like that, everyone I've spoken to is fucking PISSED about what that dipshit failed comic said. If I'm right, a swing that large in a state like PA (which has what like half a million Puerto Ricans living in it?) would be absolutely devastating to Trump. What a huge blunder.

I yam who I yam.

Maybe you should try harder. Don't be upset because you can't bully me or whatever weird shit you keep trying to do on the basketball forum.

We don't disagree at all. None of that is the topic of this thread. I don't know what you expect of me. Yeah, we (the US gov't and US corps) prop up and support some of the worst people in the world and nobody ever talks about it, especially in Western media, which is kind of my whole beef. The knock is not that there is no truth to the meme, the knock is the guy who would sooner spit on any Muslim than talk to one is posting that meme purely to deflect from the Israeli government's actions, not because he gives a flying fuck about how many people MBS slaughters with our blessing.

He's mostly stuck to the DT which should tell you all you need to know.

I had a long response typed out but I just deleted it because a meme posted by a dude that demonstrably despises Muslim people is not worth arguing about. I'm not sure why you're trying to start one over it. e: I will say that the answer to your last question is because western media doesn't cover it and people don't care to learn. Hell, I marched in summer of 2006 with pro-divestment protestors in DC but even I haven't really thought about it much recently.

Y'all are fucking rookies
