  1. I understand your sentiments but no one deserves online and in-person creeps, including but not limited to full-on pervs, and implicit and explicit threats of violence and rape. This is what women have to deal with. Know two women that received these types of threats, for having the temerity to express their opinions online as subject-matter experts in technology and football.
  2. Sucked in? He was the ring leader for Trump’s version of the brown shirts. He was standing by until they announced the date to disrupt the peaceful transition of power.
  3. Agree. Dont understand the issue. That there’s not a 1/2 empty commercial tower there?
  4. Remember me, you do not Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying. In 1983, there werent any mofos complaining about ewoks in ROTJ in a movie trilogy that featured tons of little people in outfits. After the internet was invented, people heard about the change from Wookies to Ewoks, reflected on the prequels, and started that shit.
  5. I’d take a Haley victory right now over any double digit % chance dotard regains presidency. I detest her politics but am more confident she’s not a Rapture candidate or the last President. Biden is not a strong incumbent and is vulnerable to say the least.
  6. Augie should no longer be coaching at UT as well. RIP
  7. He works 20 hours a day, is making deals with dozens of foreign countries to make America great, still gets 36 holes in, and is banging a supermodel. With any luck he’s got the Nobel Prize already.
  8. it is easier for a camel toe to go through the eye of a needle dick than for dotard to enter the Kingdom of God!
  9. The poison apple scene occurred in part of the movie showing a young physicist trying to find his calling and he was flailing. It was later used to establish scenes with Nelson Bohr (Branaugh). The poison apple was used here at various points to set up various ethical questions about Opp, including how could a man make a bomb that could destroy the world. And you’re worrying about the one time he poisoned an apple for one man?
  10. Take it to the WTF thread or equine thread
  11. It was me. Can we keep this between us? I’d hate to lose my teaching job.
  12. She’s got a two decade head start on them, which is more than she needs. Taylor’s got friends in every town and toyota center from here to the Indianapolis, she sings in a dozen genres, knows every local custom, she'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see her again. With any luck, she's got the presidency already.
  13. Buy low, sell high Under few circumstances should an up and coming team dedicate finite resources longterm on aging assets. Agree on Noah Brown. Think Texans are fine at receiver. Dalton Schultz is a JAG. He also struggled at end of year with hands. It’s frustrating to see teams think guys are tight ends when really they’re just big possession receivers. Want to see a real tight end? watch George Kittle work.
  14. That would be something. Have had people lecture on using AI to manage their email. Im skeptical
  15. Father Mayhem makes an appearance. “You go to check out your maybe daughter’s convent school and find six murdered nuns. Maybe that’s None of your business. With Allstate, you’re protected from mayhem…like me.”
  16. Context matters a lot. In baseball, if you need a single run against a power pitcher who doesnt field their position well, maybe a sacrifice bunt is the right play. As the 49ers defense was tightening up their run D and your team was playing tight and sloppy, maybe that 60% go for it wasnt representative of what was happening down the stretch.
  17. The commercial made it seem like something fresh back in the 90’s
  18. Bullshit. In reality, women who “fight back” are more likely to be murdered. Women who arm themselves, are more likely to have their abuser use that gun. The problem we have is not equal between men and women. The hospitalized and deceased are few and far between battered men. Its an epidemic. With exceptions, men cannot engage in fair physical confrontations with women. If you want to see how it plays out when women FAFO, watch the Joe Mixon video again. At no point was Mixon, a large man with years of strength training in danger of being hurt. But he fucked that chick up. Mixon deserved more.
  19. Regardless, this was officially declared a wartime mistake by both the US and Israeli governments at the time. My point was that older generations view Israel much more favorably than younger ones.
  20. That would be something. The ignominy of abandoning Israel after a major terrorist attack, siding with the terror faction Hamas and Iran, and reversing a half century of policy would be massive. One big problem is that Netanyahu has meddled in US politics at the local, state, and federal levels. And has plenty of media support and experience manipulating social media. The US is deeply divided on the issue largely on age. Older Americans side with Israel, remembering their plight and a Cold War ally who never funded terror attacks against Americans. Younger Americans side with Palestinians, and even Hamas, due to current events and dissonance about Israel’s rights there in the first place. It’s a quagmire. I think if Biden took your advice, it would be followed by “…and I will be resigning” as he’d have no hope for re-election and he’d be turning over the White House back to dotard. And middle ground is not helpful either. There are plenty of misguided people who will stay away from voting due to this issue, which has no easy answers and only more and more problems.
  21. “Give me an Army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle. Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I'll win a war.” - fake George Patton
  22. Like I said, from our perspective, they were evil bastards. But they took care of their own and I agree they had their own logic. There were other tribes that werent nomads and they were shit out of luck unless they could trade something of value.
  23. That seems like a shit ton. Wonder if they count all unmarried minors as rape (statutory). It’s fucked up regardless.
  24. What struck me about the book was how deep it cut at Old West and Native portrayals in pop culture. You’d both sympathize and be revolted by how Comanches operated as a warrior tribe. They were like apex predators and if couldnt provide them value they saw you as lesser beings. They cared only about taking care of their own people. I’d like to see a fair depiction of their strength and rejection of western culture’s morality. Which might upset people. I do expect the same old wise Indian monologues over peace pipes talking about the white men. What was depicted in the book was these evil bastards (from our perspective) were terrorizing whites and natives alike. They’d get paid to stop raiding, then break treaties, only to have the ignorant US government terrorize other, more peaceful tribes confused it was Comanches. We’ll see. Think Sheridan would be best outsourcing some of this work to others to make it fresh. Did I spell all the words correctly? @slorch
  25. Digging in on your opinion? I’ll have to watch it again. One of things that made KOTFM notable is the depiction of the banality and grotesque nature of evil. Having Leo and DeNiro be the two lead villains would not have been my choice because they seem cool and are legends on and off the screen. But they both did well. I usually appreciate Leo’s performances after time and rewatches. Think they needed to be in it for box office.
