  1. *past performance is no guarantee of future results
  2. I like pointing out that inflation in the US has been better than the UK and Eurozone. Is Biden the president of the EU as well?
  3. Wait how the fuck did Ann Coulter of all people turn on Trump? She's been a Trumpist since before Trump himself was even a political entity.
  4. Is he just going to do a Tulsi Gabbard and grift?
  5. I thought about it a little more after I posted and came to this same conclusion. If Biden wins NC, he's almost certainly already won the election. Trump has to have NC.
  6. Does this mean Texas wants him but he's not interested, or that the player wants Texas but isn't a staff priority at the moment?
  7. Man, it don't make a shit either way. This organization has way, way deeper problems than the name of the defensive coordinator. Worrying about losing DQ is like saying my haircut is gonna cost me a chance to fuck Ana de Armas. Technically, sure, she's not fucking any dudes with bad haircuts. But the truth is, I'm never going to even get within 500 yards of Ana de Armas in the first place. Per the judge's order.
  8. So she did. I didn’t realize that. I take it back.
  9. Some of y’all are setting yourselves up to be majorly disappointed by Taylor. She may end up saying something kinda vague and safe so that young progressive fans can make inferences about her, but I get very strong “Republicans buy concert tickets too” vibes from her.
  10. Do y'all consider NC to be fool's gold for Democrats, at least in 2024? I had NC, PA, MI, WI, GA, AZ, and NV as the 7 states that matter. @Dnaguy made a list in the Trump thread and excluded NC. Its 2020 margin was smaller than MI and NV, about the same as PA. Figured this is a better thread for discussion.
  11. I'm in my late 30s. I deleted my Twitter when Musk took over and my Facebook years ago. Have never had an Instagram, Snapchat, or TikTok. I browse Reddit some (never post) but I'm trying to cut back on that. Other than that, it's just Surly for me. Every now and then, there's something I feel like I'm missing out on (selling shit on Facebook Marketplace, updates from my kids' teachers on Instagram, fantasy football injury updates on Twitter), but overall, I feel way better than when I used to mindlessly doomscroll Twitter. My great hope is that more and more people my age and younger will begin to realize that having social media is not actually a requirement for modern life.
  12. He seems like he’s doing well
  13. Yeah but dude Texas is only going to have, uh, *checks notes* 8 guys drafted this year, so obviously their recruits ain't shit.
  14. It's just insane what people choose to get riled up about. They're not cutting away from the fucking game. She's the most famous person in America, of course they're going to show her instead of some random fat fuck in the stands with his face painted, which is what they'd normally be showing during those few seconds. Hell, I'm in the camp that she's pretty dang good looking. Show literally nothing but the game and her for all I fucking care.
  15. Imagine being a grown up and giving a single fuck about anything having to do with Taylor Swift other than her music if you like it.
  16. Jun. Best meal I've had in a while. Fucking spectacular michelada, too. Best one I've ever had, period.
  17. Fucking hell. I'd rather watch 100 Trump rallies in a row than read anymore of you assholes arguing about lawyers or fucking whatever. GTFO with that shit.
  18. Was just looking at that. After Charles Woodson in 1997, it's been pretty rough. Number of Pro Bowls in parentheses. Maybe???: Newton (3 + 1 MVP) Good-but-not-quite-Hall-worthy: Ricky (1), Palmer (3), Ingram (3) Meh: Dayne, VY (2), Bradford, RGIII (1), Winston (1), Mariota, Mayfield Terrible: Weinke, Leinart, Troy Smith, Tebow, Manziel Non-existent: Crouch, White Jury's still out: Henry (4), Jackson (3 + 1 MVP), Murray (2), Burrow (1), DeVonta Smith Cam's on the outside looking in, but I guess it's theoretically possible. Current trajectory looks promising for Henry and Jackson. Henry's likely done as part of the "best RB in the NFL" conversation, but if he squeaks out a couple more 1,000 yard seasons it's probably a done deal. Jackson's gotta stay healthy and a Super Bowl win wouldn't hurt. Interestingly, Henry and Jackson were drafted 45th and 32nd overall. A lot of the rest of these guys were high first rounders. To be fair, there was a big string of crap before Woodson as well. Heisman winners being bonafide NFL stars pretty much ended with the 80s.
  19. Yours stops for 3 years at a time? What's your secret?
  20. The whole thing was weird. If it's not Ketch, why didn't he ever just say "I'm not Ketch, wtf are y'all talking about"? If it is Ketch, why didn't he disappear and come back under a different name when people started calling out literally every post? My personal theory is that it's some random 80-year-old dude that shuts down his Compaq after every post to save electricity. He's going to call the Geek Squad tomorrow to ask why his Surlyhorns screen stopped working.
  21. Counterpoint: Kitan Crawford
  22. Looks really stupid. I want to see it.
  23. Some dude named Wade Harman is listed as a "Senior Assistant" on the defensive side for the Dolphins. Setting aside for a minute that that doesn't make much sense because he's a career offensive guy, he was Sark's TE coach when Sark was OC of the Falcons. Maybe he put in a (really) good word? I'm honestly pretty curious how this guy even made it on to the radar.
  24. Just finished watching this on Netflix. I had never seen it before. Great show (obviously). The concentration camp episode was a real gut punch. My only complaint is that, aside from a few main guys (Winters, Nixon, Donnie Wahlberg, maybe a couple others), I never had a good sense of which guy was which and what their rank/role was. There's a ton of characters and a lot of the time they're wearing helmets, faces are super dirty, etc. For example, Michael Fassbender was in an early episode I was like "oh, cool, early career Michael Fassbender". Then he disappeared (I guess?) and I forgot he was in it, and he reappeared in one of the last episodes. Not a big deal, just a nitpick, but I did feel like there were quite a few scenes where a character is portrayed as "one of the guys", or they're really sad about his death or something, and I'm sitting there thinking "wait who tf is that?".
