    Also, immamac is a fucking tool who thinks rolling coal where people are eating is harmless and funny.

    While I largely agree with you, someone doesn't remember the 2004 Lakers with Karl Malone, Derek Fisher, and Gary Payton.

    I remember learning it as "What does an Italian do after banging his foot on a door?". Not sure that it would be taught that way still...

    Does it feel better rooting for an organization that engaged in human trafficking while keeping a spreadsheet ranking their employees' criminal behavior? Cause yeesh, that would be pretty bad also.

    Not sure if I am more triggered by lack of legend for the three lines or by lack of @Anastasis pointing it out before me.

    Yeah but the only reason he abused so many victims is his running ability. In a wheelchair he would have been helpless to abuse.

    I totally get that you can have that read about people in your social group / work setting, etc., but how can you possible assert that about GOP voters as a whole? There is evidence that is becoming more important to the GOP through school board rants, conservative media, local elections, etc., so do you have ANY evidence that it is not true? Again, not for you and/or those you personally know, but for the average GOP voter? Where is the resistance to show that it is NOT effective?

    Fair enough. Meant it in a joking manner but it didn't come off that way. Tone.

    I'm giving you the finger because October 8, 2005 beats this. On that day VY buttfucked OU 45-12, and later that day Astros beat the fucking Braves in the playoffs (day before the 18 inning game). I honestly don't remember any of the other games, so maybe aggy beat whoever the hell they played by 50, but it don't make a shit. Still better.

    What criticism of Simmons isn't warranted?
  13. Serak The Preparer
    Well I'm glad that you took the time to edit the post, so that there was no misunderstanding. For the record, nobody said "fag". There was queer, gay, lesbian, but no fag. Not sure the reaction in your post was warranted, but you do you. Hope you do have a good semester.

    You know how you don't like it when people say retard, even in jest?

    It's been said many times already but shit, this really is awesome. I am looking forward to spreading the love to other positions as this becomes even more established. Just a great job getting this up and running, and props to all who have signed up already.

    Eh, this was relatively harmless but still not good form playing bits on retail workers / servers. The poor bastard answering the phone has enough shit to deal with. Punch up, not down.

    Umm, I don't know why. Are you referring to SARS? Common colds? Something else?
  18. Serak The Preparer
    No, I'm sure this is just part of the group that @slorch knows is fighting to keep kids at home. After all, he said so several times, huge groups of people fighting tooth and nail to avoid sending their kids to school. Of course, when asked several times to indicate who any of these people are, there was no response, but by Jove I think you'll find them now!
  19. Serak The Preparer
    I think it's clear that @midtown is stating that the data-driven forecast means no specific new assumptions / intelligence are built into the forecast (e.g. it is purely taking historical trends and applying), as opposed to a prediction which may take things like school openings, mask policy, etc., into account. This doesn't mean that the data-driven forecast is better or worse, just that underlying assumptions are not specifically adjusted for a new forecast.

    Oh hey @markstanco, you're back. Did you ever figure out what searching for 3-digit numbers on Google was supposed to tell us?
  21. Serak The Preparer
    This is really amazing to see shape up. I am not surly 1% but definitely want to join. Only question for me is, is there a feeling that there will be multiple Surly position-group camps? If I had to choose, would rather support OL or DE. Frankly, the life expectancy of our TE's scares me to death so want to contribute to other groups as well. Is this something like there will be an SEC-ish gentleman's agreement that OB sponsors OL, Surly sponsors TE, HF (does it still exist) sponsors WR, etc.? Too early to tell?

    You are such a martyr. You don't get negged for being a conservative, you get negged for being mind-blastingly stupid. To your credit, negging you is a little mean because it's not that you are a troll, it's that you literally don't realize how incapable you are of anything approaching any level of critical thought. You got negged for coming into the COVID thread and posting gems like: "I still don’t understand the emotional attachment to getting a shot. There were people in the spring just absolutely giddy that they got their vaccination. Neither the glee nor the regret are rational." and comparing the relief of seeing relatives with stopping at a red light. Maybe you need a special badge that indicates you have extra special protection but don't pretend that your negs are due to being a conservative.

    I would certainly posit that the large majority of posters in this forum would have a blanket reaction that just about any output of the Trump administration should be viewed with skeptical (at best) eyes. I would further posit that that the same majority of posters are less likely to cast that same skepticism to any output of the Biden administration. You seem to be implying that is some sort of gotcha. If the claim is that there is some team politics coloring this difference, I would agree. But, would you agree that there is a significant baseline difference in overall competence and corruption between the two administrations that would also explain the different reactions?
  24. Serak The Preparer
    I'm not sure I agree with your argument on the two types of posters. Hell, even in DT, with a few exceptions, most posters at least proclaim disdain for Trump. I'd rather say the two types of posters are those that see a gangrenous elephant and think that all it needs is to duct tape a few healthy squirrels and hope that'll save the rotting tissue, and those that say it needs to be shot and we should go get a new elephant.

    It's really weird how everyone is a Libertarian on these charts but we keep electing Authoritarians. It's almost like the quiz has really simple questions that have no reflection on a complex reality. Nah, must be a global conspiracy.
