  1. Only time I’ve been in Minnesota was a connecting flight. I didn’t know Derek or George. I bet if they met each other at a bar during the early 90s, they probably wouldn’t have much problem with each other.
  2. Finally by post 25, someone mentioned Thoughts and Prayers. It gets funnier everytime!!!!
  3. Here’s precisely how we do it. Delete Facebook and Instagram. It’s fucking worthless. A fucking nerd owns owns the biggest social platforms. It spreads horrible news and conspiracies founded in lunacy. When your neighbor fucks up, talk to him. Don’t post it on NextDoor. When a shooting happens focus on the victims and their families don’t mention the shooter at all. Don’t hold him up high and put his name in the history books. When some racist fuck goes on a tirade, don’t give him a voice. Don’t retweet him. Tell him he’s a twat to his face and punch him in the face. His statement will die right there. Lastly, I’ll continue to post this video as it’s completely accurate. Disciplina Praesidium Civitatis!!!!!! Understand what that really means. It is motherfucking true! /end rant
  4. Roger Ebert offers an explanation years ago: The reporter looked disappointed, so I offered her my theory. “Events like this,” I said, “if they are influenced by anything, are influenced by news programs like your own. When an unbalanced kid walks into a school and starts shooting, it becomes a major media event. Cable news drops ordinary programming and goes around the clock with it. The story is assigned a logo and a theme song; these two kids were packaged as the Trench Coat Mafia. The message is clear to other disturbed kids around the country: If I shoot up my school, I can be famous. The TV will talk about nothing else but me. Experts will try to figure out what I was thinking. The kids and teachers at school will see they shouldn’t have messed with me. I’ll go out in a blaze of glory.” Unfortunately, our society celebrates shootings with more attention, coverage, and thought than any major sports championship. Shooters want attention and they get it. We click on articles, turn on TVs, text our friends about and....post it on message boards for discussion. Sadly, there are numerous types of negative events that the press and social media love, and we eat it immediately. Imagine if we had a world where more positivity and logic controlled the media and social media.
  5. If I had the headset in the second half, we would’ve won the conference. We were one possession away on each conference loss. Run Bijan, run the clock, win.
  6. Boston College now practicing abstinence....cool.
  7. Just when I think we have achieved peak laziness, there’s a new bar set.
  8. Whatever the case, it’s always nice to see massive press coverage so the audience intended is way larger than the graffiti’s immediate area. This gives hate a voice. You could always clean it up and never give it any attention but that would be sensible.
  9. How would we have argued about the simplicity of poker?
  10. ^^This. Porn is accessible on your phone, tablet, etc. Be more resourceful...
  11. Since we’re in CR now, I wanted to make sure ya’ll had some more data to argue about. Four Disparities that Explain Racial Disparities in Home Ownership
  12. Sounds like he ran out of gas....hit the brakes.
  13. You are correct sir. I’ve been saying this for quite some time. Media is the root of division. Some are able to figure this out while the rest will exacerbate it on their FB feed.
