  1. You kind of have to not care about anything to live in Dallas.
  2. Jerry Jones still employs Mike McCarthy, so yes, I think he would keep McD around. Gotta love a guy arguing for high accountability environments getting bent out of shape by a couple of downvotes.
  3. How the f@#$ can a wallet declare bankruptcy? Trezor is literally hard storage. Its like saying the old coffee can I buried in my backyard is declaring bankruptcy and my cash will disappear. Anybody who is even remotely aware of what crypto is should know this is an obvious lie.
  4. I think if its even remotely close that he looks prepared to play that they get him in the lineup. I do believe that the organization will do everything they can to have Savoie playing in Buffalo next year rather than spend another year putting up video game stats in Winnipeg even if its a little premature. Its a shame that the CHL rules prevent him from playing in a league where his game can actually grow. He has nothing left to do in Winnipeg.
  5. Just bought tix for The Pixies and Franz Ferdinand. Over the hill 2023 tour continues.
  6. That would be a disaster in my biased opinion. Between insolvency, league conservatorship, and now a public referendum voting no on hockey in Arizona how many more signs does Bettman need that this isn't going to work?
  7. The Toyota Center in Houston used to host the Aeros who were tops in the IHL in attendance. The Quebec junior team regularly draws 18,000 people but for I got to think the Houston market is more attractive for the NHL. Houston's economy is massive. One bad year for maple sap and Quebec will be looking for a new home.
  8. What are your thoughts on 5th most?
  9. The market just voted convincingly to relocate the team. I don't feel that bad for them. I can't imagine a public referendum to keep the Sabres or Bills in town coming even close. Not unless someone leaked open air stadium renderings prior to the vote.
  10. Finally! Lets go Houston Flood Dogs!
  11. That happened. Multiple times. My teacher friends didnt know what CRT was. I had to define it for them. My anecdotes are at least as valuable as all the other anecdotes telling me how kindergartners were taught how to perform gender re-assignment surgery but can't say their ABCs. I am interested to hear yours.
  12. I would imagine that the creation of White Entertainment Network in a country where most of the media is overwhelmingly catered toward white america would be met with confusion and derision. "Imagine the reaction" to something that you don't even want or see a need for is not the argument you think it is.
  13. By quoted you wrong do you mean copied and pasted? Missing points and calling everything you don't understand a strawman is a real exciting script. One of us tried to have an adult discussion against my better judgement and you have offered nothing but repeating the term strawman. And I wasn't even f@#$ing arguing with you. Pendulum swings, reaction and over reaction. Of course "blackwashing" is not a solution. Does that question really need to be dignified with a response? I assumed it was rhetorical, like anyone with a firm grasp on the language and issue would. Then I shared my own two cents about the issues with the discourse on these topics as denoted by formation of a new paragraph. Sound bytes instead over substance was the gist. Debating the fringe rather than discussing real issues as they relate to CRT. You called that a strawman. So I provided examples, giving you the benefit of the doubt that maybe you felt I invented the narratives that have received public attention. So I more carefully laid out my views. "Strawman" he said, failing to engage with any points raised. Now some new moron has entered the ring swinging steel chairs about how I want to teach kindergartners to hate each other and he demands my attention. Ironically, its a clear cut example of a strawman as he is knocking down an argument of his own construction which he has attributed to me. And thats the difference. I made a point independent of and in addition to your point. And thats how discussions progress. I am at least glad you two have made a friend out of all this.
  14. You did. Direct quote. If you don't understand what I have said and you don't understand what you have said, any type of meaningful dialogue is going to be difficult.
  15. Cite where I said anything even remotely like teaching kindergartners to despise each other. So wildly out of the blue that I have no clue what you were reading. You don't know what a strawman is but you do like using the word. I have highlighted some examples for you in crayon. You don't seem to understand how a discussion works either but you have reached your typical point where you realize that you're in over your head and you've taken your ball and gone home. I look forward to all the passive aggressive emojis to follow.
  16. A national job market and remote work has transformed where people can live. Everyone with the means is re-evaluating where and how they want to live. We are no longer anchored to where the office is located or where industry is concentrated. Its no surprise that there is a ton of movement. I know its more fun to roll this factoid into a mega rant about all the ills of society.
  17. That does not surprise me.
  18. What in the ***** are you even talking about? @Chris farley the bolded above; THAT is a strawman. What John in Riverside said to you earlier is a strawman.
  19. There is uproar about everything these days. It doesn't stop anyone from doing things they consider to be important or things that have widespread support. Do you think white people are under represented in the mainstream media and there is a real market opportunity here?
  20. In addition to "on brand" you seem confused by what a strawman is. Here are looney examples of what discussion points are picked up by the media under the guise of social justice, CRT, LGBT, and a host of other isms that make you uncomfortable. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinformation/urban-myth-litter-boxes-schools-became-gop-talking-point-rcna51439 https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/04/22/transgender-child-sports-treatments/ Public debates on whether books written by white men are racist, names of hurricanes are racist, and all the other nonsense that captures so much attention here and in the media is all noise meant to distract you. Here are actual things worth discussing that are great examples of the relevance of CRT. Before the inevitable reply that attacks the source, I can assure you that there is no shortage of studies conducted that illustrate that systems that are 100% color blind still produce outcomes consistent with overt racial bias. Please find one that you are comfortable with. Exploration of these topics and what causes these outcomes is the conversation worth having and not bickering about whether all literature written by white men should be removed from public education. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-29/job-applicants-with-black-names-still-less-likely-to-get-the-interview#xj4y7vzkg https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/publications/racial-disparity-sentencing https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/assets/141027_iachr_racial_disparities_aclu_submission_0.pdf
  21. What strawmen? A strawman is arguing a false point. A comparison of actual MSM talking points versus salient discussions that could be had instead is not a strawman. Whatabout Crenshaw books was on brand.
  22. The pendulum swings back and forth a bit before it lands where it should. There is a natural over reaction but I don't think its the new normal. Americans have short attention spans. One of the biggest problems is the discussion is dominated by the relatively sane debating the extremists on both sides rather than the relatively sane engaging with each other. That is how you wind up thinking that the ramblings from 5 batshit twitter accounts is an actual mainstream belief. That is how you wind up talking about cat litter boxes in bathrooms rather than why our legal system which is color blind on paper can still produce results that are consistent with racial bias. That is how you wind up talking about whether 7 year olds should have the right to gender reassignment surgery rather than why two resumes, identical in every way except for the name at the top, can receive radically different response rates from prospective employers. For a little perspective, I like to ask all teachers and civil servants I know how they're introducing CRT into their curriculum and managing practices and wait for the blank stares before they ask "what is CRT?". Its almost as satisfying as watching people who believe CRT is the greatest existential threat to this nation struggle to define it.
  23. If you want those things, you would have those things. There is nothing stopping you and all the other aggrieved who earnestly believe that White History is under represented in schools and White people have a painful history of marginalization in this country from launching these initiatives. Despite the hand wringing I have seen no action. Seems like these "ideas" more valuable as cheap talking points then they are as realities.
  24. That is not how things work in much of the world.
  25. I want Dallas to lose in the finals in this scenario. I am not in the mood to watch Vegas or Seattle compete for a cup after their collective 3 seasons of not playing in the post season.
