  1. I'd rather he visit Dallas and get a taste of their Presidential hospitality
  2. I would think moreso the hiding in the bushes and hunting the children with a firearm is the bigger problem. It shows intent to harm and kill
  3. He waited for the kids to come back, and then started shooting. Charges upgraded and bury him under the fucking jail https://www.fox26houston.com/news/ding-dong-ditch-shooting-suspect-waited-children-return-charges-be-upgraded
  4. Apologies for the title that is admittedly provacative, but this is a really interesting interview with Tony Gilroy that talks about what they were thinking about while writing and making Rouge One, and Andor S1-2. Video in spoiler if you don't mind comparisons between Andor and current events from the person who wrote Andor In particular, he comments on the synchronicity that his show kept on having even though they wrote it years before filming. Specifically, Senator Padilla's arrest from the Senate floor the day after the Ghorman Massacre aired really had him wondering if members of the Administration were watching his show
  5. idiocy aside, that actually does make sense from a skills perspective. Alabama is where much of America's rocket arsenal is built, tested, and maintained. And it makes sense to spread around service branch HQ's so they're more geographically diverse and harder to target all at the same time
  6. Lordy, I imagine some of the big US equipment makers like NOV are having a real shitty time
  7. TBH we're a little behind on the Bell Riots but I figure we'll get there at this rate
  8. Glacially slow in defending rights and freedom, blitzkreig-fast when it comes to enabling a dictator
  9. It's what's being taught in MBA courses around the country, and has been for decades. Shareholders and investors are more important than anything else, and if you disagree then fuck you you're fired.
  10. Wait.... So are they really internalizing that trump is the antichrist? It would make sense what with their worship of a demagogue
  11. I 100% agree things should not work like that. However in my professional career so far, and in watching my parents go through their careers, that's how it fuckin goes. At least once a business reaches the "growth" portion of its lifespan, which is the life blood of our economy. None of anything is built upon actual results of returns, it's all speculative based on possible future growth. TSLA out front shoulda told ya. Elon gets away with EVERYTHING simply because he keeps line going up. Nevermind that every capital intensive project with Tesla has failed so far for the last five years or so
  12. You doughnut, that search will return results for "cis" "white" OR "men". If you want an exact string search, enter "cis white man" like the search tool said But go ahead and keep doing your hateful bit
  13. Huh, CBP was being trained to use mortars by US special forces? https://www.dvidshub.net/image/9274238/soldiers-international-forces-train-mortar-live-fire-during-arctic-edge-25 That's straight from DoD, and seems extremely unusual, even for a tactical police team. It does make sense from a funding perspective though, since they get more cash than the Marines now. Jesus we're fucked
  14. Lol, you try telling a board of directors that you won't cut costs or lay anyone off when your business model is suddenly too expensive. You can pick a legal nit about it, but functionally it's 100% the duty and responsibility of management to protect investors and their money. That means layoffs and cost cutting.
  15. Tbh, of they enforce traffic laws that'll make drivers less pissed off. Constantly dodging beat up Nissans with paper plates that are recklessly merging into the 59/610 interchange will put the rage into most people
  16. Ding dong ditch, dead. https://apnews.com/article/doorbell-prank-child-shot-houston-44fa27d558124837dac2cdeb14317b3d 11 year old shot in the back after doing a ding dong ditch. Shooter not arrested.
  17. Zelensky: "two weeks" is almost up https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/08/31/7528685/ "Two weeks ago in Washington, it was said that this was the timeframe for Russia to be ready for real talks and a leaders’ meeting. Ukraine is undoubtedly ready for this. But the only thing Russia is doing is investing in further war. All its signals are pointing in that direction." ... "Everyone in the world has said that a ceasefire is needed; everyone has insisted that the war must end. This was the position of China, of the prime minister of India, and of other leaders now at the summit – Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan; almost everyone else in the world also supports ending the war. Today, there is a principled statement by the Pope; we thank him for this. The only one who wants war is Russia. We expect that no one will tolerate the dragging out of the war; we count on a strong position from the US, Europe and the G20 countries."
  18. You're putting words in his mouth, but you do you boo
  19. I am curious if it's a shitty LLM that's been fine tuned on trump rhetoric. Lord knows there's enough posts out there to build a dataset
  20. FWIW, chatGPT is not authoritative and doesn't know facts. It's just really REALLY sure that it's right, even when it's not
  21. In fairness, it's a defining strategy of fascism: control the message by accusing everyone of being unfair and claiming a mountain of grievances. That puts outlets that act in good faith on the back heel, as no impartial coverage would EVER satisfy their propaganda requirements. It's why they're attacking Wikipedia for fucks sake
  22. I didn't say that the small games were a concern, but we're never gonna get out of the 1st round of the playoffs with consecutive years of coaching mistakes in big games. Georgia punked us twice last year, and I am eager to see evidence of better coaching decisions with goal to go. I agree Arch is gonna play better, but that doesn't matter much if we do 4x runs up the gut for a goal line series
  23. We couldn't call a scoring play on three trips to the red zone. Our offense shits it's pants when it's short yardage for some reason. The dog shit play calling on the goal line isn't on Arch, and has been a problem for multiple seasons in big games now
  24. Yeah I'm not loving that inside the 10 yard line is death for our scoring ability. Sark has a real weakness in getting points in the red zone - only 7 points off of four trips yesterday. That shit isn't gonna win games.
