  1. Past hour
  2. Like the legendary Mad Dog Mike from Put-In-Bay said: Every day above ground is a good day
  3. Son of a b. I misread your initial post and have to apologize for that. I’ll withhold commentary on some of the issues we disagree on, and typically proofread my posts to ensure I’m saying here what I would say in a personal conversation, and missed it. Specifically, I misread your initial stance on Hamas, and that got me thinking about post-WW2 relations with nations interested in our complete annihilation. That’s hard for me to wrap my head around given the way the war impacted members of my family. My bad. Kay wins this skirmish. You said nothing about partnering with Hamas, though I still think the parallels to the imperialistic tendencies of Japan is interesting. I also credited you for thinking quite broadly, I must take that credit back. That said, I had loaded up a second nostalgic tv reference to highlife how misunderstandings can lead to different conclusions. From Happy Days: Fonzie: How did your date go last night? Richie Cunningham: We played chess. Fonzie: You played with her chest??! I had you as the Fonz, yet here we are. I’m the Fonz….Im the Fonz.
  4. Taken in conjunction with that crazy, super long range air battle Pakistan had with India--with Pakistan using Chinese made equipment--and 2025 has already seen a monumental change in warfare. Our military needs to change a lot, and fast.
  5. Thank goodness we’re no longer in the revolving door QB sweepstakes. That period is nothing short of brutal in the modern NFL.
  6. Always liked him. He got a lot less attention than Gilmore in that same era but was a solid contributor. Makes me look back at the Elam pick and wonder how that went so poorly. A decent CB should not be that hard to find. The Bills have had a ton of them over the years.
  7. they added Harmon from Oregon on the d line and sawyer from Ohio state at end. they have a great run game but outside of metcalf their wide receivers are meh. Mind boggling they didn’t keep Pickens

  9. I stink at mathematics, but by definition wouldn’t the wind resistance have to be already factored in to the same equation that determines how long it takes each train to get up to that speed? 🤷. I was a poly-sci/history major in college so just feel free to ignore me however! 😅
  10. I just saw this posted on buffalobills reddit. Unsure of its accuracy but it correlates to my seats.
  11. If no one who knows him personally is worried then why won't he just say it? if he has stated it Google is making it difficult to find. The point of pride on diversity is funny to me because my point of pride is that I live someplace safe and the local schools are top notch, the fact that whites are a minority in the school means nothing to me.
  12. I agree mostly, so it then becomes a question of letting posters lay out their ignorance in their own words or farm it out to those in the X sphere. What's the difference? When everyone became expert virologists and immunologists during covid changed the entire game. When morons who couldn't tell you the difference between IgG and IgM are telling you at the same time that the science is settled and must be followed is when I knew that I can declare myself to be an expert in anything at all.
  13. But it's not four!!! It's two!!! * 😁😇
  14. I don't have a dog in this fight, but there is an observation I would make relating to these X links. Very frequently they are from people that nobody has ever heard of, and generally for good reason. The links are always in support of the poster's underlying view. The problem is that they are rarely credible and contain vies and judgements that are ridiculous, with near complete ignorance of the subjects and context of what they suggest. I only say this regarding those I have noticed on issues I think I am quite familiar with. When I read those, I frequently find myself shaking my head and being amazed at the ignorance.
  15. 1. My “interesting perspective” on a Hamas alliance with the United States: I do very much appreciate your willingness to politically tango with La Commie Kay, but please don’t step on my dance toes! I never even so much as intimated that an alliance with Hamas should be an objective. I was merely challenging your silly perspective that Hamas posed some kind of threat to our American way of life. It’s akin to George W. Bush’s “They hate us for our freedoms!” insight. No, they hate us because we’re imperialist sh!theads who, in this instance, are supporting our settler colonial proxy state’s ethnic cleansing. 2. You “reading stories of” Hamas violence against Gazans: OMG…I think I just found your fundamental problem. You badly need to diversify your news sources beyond corporate media ones that are in the pockets of powerful Zionists. The hasbara propaganda is apparent once you compare different media coverages of the same events. The fact that you’re fixated on alleged Hamas violence toward Gazans to the exclusion of Israel’s ACTUAL GENOCIDE of Gazans… 3. How “most Palestinians seem to support Hamas” to you: I think you meant to say Gazans instead of Palestinians. It’s hard to tell what Gazans think right now because it’s hard to do polling in there. Their society has broken down so badly to the point that they can’t properly maintain death records anymore. I can only surmise that many Gazans are unhappy with what Hamas leadership has been able to deliver for them to date, most are simply preoccupied with surviving, and nearly all are understandably angrier with the Israelis performing the genocide on them. Gaza is an entire society of descendants of Nakba refugees, so their resentment is unsurprisingly deep and generational. 4. “The innate goodness and decency of Hamas” you think I see: Now you are crushing my tango toes. STEP OFF. This is reckless and libelous speculation on your part. I’ve never come close to suggesting that in anything I’ve ever wrote. In my personal opinion, many of the leaders and members among the military wing of Hamas are likely irredeemable sociopaths. 5. “The current binary choice world” that you live in: Why do you stubbornly choose to see the world like this?? The real world is wonderfully multifaceted and highly nuanced. You are a willing prisoner inside your own mind. 6. “The path forward” for a partnership with both Israel and Hamas: I refuse to lay out such a path because I insist that both the Israeli government and the Hamas leadership have forfeited their rights to continue governing. They should all be charged with war crimes, sent to The Hague to stand trial, and serve their appropriate prison sentences. 7. A Brief Posting Retrospective with Leh-nerd Skin-erd: All in all, I’d say our discussion so far is going pretty well, no? I’m trying my best to effectuate a kinder, gentler posting philosophy with you called “What would Muppy Do?,” or “WMD” for short. It helps that I’m analogizing our debate to a tango dance instead of a boxing match! We’ll see how long this lasts, though. I have my guarded eyes fixed on you…
  16. Haliburton is earning himself a spot as one of the all-time great clutch shooters in NBA history with this playoff run
  17. Hey, you've got Finding behind you. So you've got that going for you, which is nice. You can stick with the intellectually honest back and forth of how reliable the media is and how Biden remained mentally fit for his entire term. A thousand Catturd tweets in a row doesn't begin to sniff that track record of stupidity.
  18. One can only hope I think that's far from true. But he knows he isn't going deep in the playoffs without a QB
  19. Today
  20. Serious question. No gotcha question. How do you feel about politicians who are broke when elected but in a few short years are multimillionaires?
  21. Advice to Steelers: Deploy the slippery rubber mats.
  22. Having insurance isn't the same as having State Farm. It's like getting the protection of Bateman when you need Batman. Maybe he should go do a podcast or something.
