  1. Hey CFP bitches. Do we pass the eye test now? Cause fuck you.
  2. It was genuinely hilarious when they were "kicking for $100k" and Herbie tells the contestant "So you have zero chance then." Pat was douching it up and Herbie kept is real. We are living in the upside down.
  3. Where are they getting all this money from? Doesn't in run out at some point? The same people who are paying for Jimbo's buyout, are they not the same people you are asking for NIL and bag money from?
  4. Glow in the dark with freckles. Why?
  5. I know Thanksgiving is over. But I was want give thanks for Oklahoma Sooners and their fans .......who will be sitting at home watching OSU play for the Conference Championship tomorrow.
  6. The Bitcoin ETF thing is of course highly positive, will generate substantial purchase activity, and continues the trend of broader endorsement. Lightning is the big mover though. They appear to be aiming to create something similar to apple pay, meaning something you could just scan at the register to pay. Of course, the concern is timeline for adoption. I sold my ETH because although it has maybe the most developer activity, it's not the name brand product, and it's corporate owned/controlled. Bitcoin is the gold standard.
  7. Yes, but I don't have the time to go down that rabbit hole. The article tweeted about: Henry Kissinger, War Criminal, Dead at 100 (rollingstone.com) I endorse the entire, with one exception. In the public mind, Kissinger is responsible. However, he was merely an advisor. He was never chain of command, he had no legal authority to order anything, not since his time in the military. He was merely a staffer. Obviously a good adviser is persuasive and wields influence effectively, and you are certainly morally responsible for your advice. But his status as an advisor mitigates his responsibility, somewhat. So not a war criminal in my mind. Despicable, outsized impact surely, but not philosophically different than a thousand other establishment assholes.
  8. Henry Kissinger has died at 100 : NPR Oh, he was a cool kid celebrity. I didn't realize he was an early Taylor Swift type. Now I know. Never saw an act of violence he didn't like. Just the worst of the worst. However, he was not unique. This is pretty much typical foreign policy nonsense,CFR, establishment, neocon, whatever. Just like the near universal support for the 2003 Iraq War which Kissinger supported as well. Exactly right. Resulting in the deaths of countless numbers. Why would I hold this guy up as a hero? It's embarrassing. From wikipedia. LOL what an idoit. Also from wikipedia. Henry A. Kissinger Looks Back on the Cold War | Council on Foreign Relations (cfr.org) When Ronald Reagan and the Pope teamed up to humiliate the Soviets and win the Cold War, Kissinger et al fought them tooth and nail, every step of the way. For the course of my entire lifetime, dude has been wrong about everything. Baseball has the concept of "wins above replacement". My only response is confusion. What wins are they talking about? All I see is bad decisions that got lots of people killed. Why do they glorify the guy instead of pointing and laughing at a lifetime of failed policy decisions? He is a shining example of what not to do.
  9. Who made him some kind of hero? The foreign policy establishment. It's like giving Yasser Arafat the Nobel Peace Prize. I never heard him contribute anything good or insightful. It's like doubling down on stupidity. I don't condemn him nor approve of him. I just wonder why people thought he was relevant to anything.
  10. I find the show to be highly entertaining. Just certain woke people who feel the need to piss in everyone else's Wheaties is kind of a problem.
