  1. Just like Jurassic Park, they could make a hundred of these movies and I'd see every one.
  2. This island is full of sensitive players who aren't very good at the game, but I have to admit it is much more fun to watch than the kumbaya gamebots that we've seen in recent years. Very, very glad that my premonition of Venus and Liz as final 3 locks isn't coming to be. Think I'd most want to be Charlie right now ... but at some point, Q's survival becomes a compelling feather in his cap.
  3. Cue the "it's too late, still voting for the guy who wants to nuke Palestine" leftist replies... Correct call by Biden, IMO.
  4. Ah yes, the famously woke Ku Klux Klan.
  5. "Biden controversially spent the day dredging up memories of an event that divides America, while every-man Trump appealed to the average citizen by defending himself in a court of law." - New York Times, probably
  6. All I know is I have gone my entire life having never seen any publicity at all for a school board election, and suddenly all of Katy is treating this one like a presidential election. Just an unimaginable amount of signs in people's yards. They're coming for the kids.
  7. The fact that they are preemptively trying to shit on our schedule is all the evidence anyone should need to know their true feelings on how we will do this year.
  8. The ultimate goal of a protest should be to influence. Every successful protest in our nation's history is viewed that way because of what resulted from the protest, not the act of protesting itself. At some point, the goal has shifted to merely performative - influence be damned. There is no longer any targeted goal of winning over dissenting viewpoints, the only goal is attention. Somehow leading the nightly news, for good or bad, has become the objective. From an influence perspective, it's hard to articulate how utterly unsuccessful these protests have been in advancing their message. Have they gained a single supporter that wasn't already sympathetic to their cause? Do they understand how impossible it should be to make Carolina frat boys the sympathetic figure in any situation?
  9. These are not serious people.
  10. Great post, and wasn't meant to singularly call out Palestine (although that is the big issue of the day). My frustration with the younger generation lies in that many of them seem to have ONE issue that they center their entire personality around (be it Gaza, tiktok ban, student loans, etc) and they will willingly ignore EVERYTHING else and gleefully punish those in power if they don't get exactly what they want on that one issue. Behavior with potentially horrendous ramifications if widespread enough.
  11. I mean, these were publicly announced as an act of solidarity with the other nationwide encampments, all of which were overnight establishments. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills in this discussion, if I'm being honest.
  12. ... do you think these kids put up tents with the intention to take them down at the end of each day ?
  13. Turning the south mall into a tent village is a pretty strong red line for me, regardless of the cause. Genuinely surprised that so many on here don't seem to care.
  14. And focusing all of their political energy on Gaza will keep it that way
  15. For those uninformed...
  16. Biden does not care about appeasing the very vocal minority on whatever they decide is the issue of the day, that is true. His presidency is filled with things that have improved the life of young people. It is a choice to ignore those.
  17. Either this dude wasn't gonna play as much as we all thought, or he's surrounded by the dumbest advisors of all time.
  18. The honest answer: setting up a tent in a place where tents are frowned upon is the least effort/highest payoff form of protest for a broke college kid. They all are well aware that building a drag rat village on the most storied part of campus will make everyone lose their shit. It's part of what makes the bullshit reaction from the cops today so disgraceful - it's EXACTLY what the protesters want to happen.
  19. So obviously pepper spray, etc. is horrendous, but uh, 100% of administrators in the country would do anything in their power to prevent the most iconic spot on campus from looking like this.
  20. Didn't y'all hear: despite evidence of the least energized election-year voting populace in a generation and ZERO off year election results backing up this claim, we will have an unprecedented demographic shift that will push every swing state red.
  21. I know this isn't realistic, but unless you are bringing in Ohtani, the most correct conclusion based on the last couple of offseasons appears to be: don't sign any free agents.
  22. That's what is so infuriating. We have 240+ years of evidence that the current system is fine and these chucklefucks are acting like Trump is the first person in history to face a life after the presidency. (I fully realize they don't believe any of this and are purely trying to play Calvinball to benefit their team, the frustration is that we can do nothing about it.)
  23. "nO wAY TrUMp wiLL bE WoRse ThAN biDeN!1!!"
