  1. Right now Sydney is happy a good guy with a gun was able to stop the dude with a knife. Anyone who focuses on the tool and not the person is too dumb for this conversation.
  2. Frankish do you actually believe the Central Park 5 are innocent? Those dudes are guilty, the only question is whether the prosecution handled the case in a proper legal manner.
  3. I should not have called you nuts, that is definitely my mistake. You are one of the people here who always respond with a well thought out response and I regret posting that. I will blame it on dealing high schoolers all day. To the science part: I hate extrapolation because it always starts from your assumption. You are arguing that the stratosphere and troposphere going in different directions is a historical outlier, but truly we don't know. What was the stratosphere and troposphere doing in the last ice age? We can only guess. When I was in high school in the 1990s I was told the finger lakes were carved by glaciers, but I have been informed by my nephews that is not the belief anymore. But you and I have one major difference which we will never bridge- I don't trust government to enact meaningful change. Lowering pollution is a good thing but not at the cost of stopping our economy. Politicians main goal is to get re elected, and that is why California is a mess despite being an "environmental" state.
  4. This is actually an interesting dynamic here that I want put to a test- what percent are you sure he is a pedophile? If you say 100% either way you are being a political hack. I am about 30% there but this diary alone is not enough but it does look bad. It also looks worse that they treated this the same way as hunter laptop, first it is fake, then it is real, then you should not believe it. I ask this of @BillStime @The Frankish Reich @BillsFanNC @Doc most pointedly.
  5. I actually thought you were educated but you are nuts. 1) there is no evidence that ice sheets less today than 100 years ago because there is no starting point from before satellites. Rainforest threat is much more related to over building. Your arguments are based on 30 years of knowledge and pretending you can extrapolate them. 2) the only way to plan to for electric cars is to build more power plants and they are snuffed out by liberals. 3) you are arguing that adaption is what saved us with population but not this. 4) environmentalist claim it, which you know. 5) you think the US 5,% drop in pollution is counteracting the 300% increase in China and India? Literally my high schools know that is dumb.
  6. You truly are special, you believe an insurrection occurred from some of the most well armed men on the entire planet but they all forgot to bring their guns. Anyone violent deserves jail, the rest is a political with hunt for the mentally disabled
  7. I actually follow this account and they literally never show there source and never respond to where their info comes from. If you believe it you must have thought the national enquirer was hard hitting journalism. BTW- actual money situation https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/trumps-palm-beach-fundraiser-joined-melania-trump-rakes/story%3fid=108949489
  8. Do you intentionally put up stupidly incorrect posts? Is someone paying you to be this dumb?
  9. Frankish and I agree a lot on the idea that climate change is something we simply have to learn to deal with, especially since we know man does affect the climate since there are 7 billion of us here. I though see the government more along the lines of the oil embargo of the 70s than actually doing anything useful. We can pretend that California can handle 20 million electric cars in 10 years but without a greatly improved electric grid that is not happening. In the past 50 years I have been told the earth was overpopulated at 3.5 billion, we were gonna run out of oil several times, and acid rain was coming. I was just told by@ComradeKayAdamsthat the ozone is in great shape so that is another problem government promised to fix, never did anything but still no issue.
  10. One of your words was censored, I assumed it was like the word crap, maybe it rhymes with duck, which does change the sentence
  11. I find it funny you are throwing around the concept of conspiracy theory when you believe that if I simply give the government money they will control the weather. I will also point out that requesting a peer reviewed study when you admit the raw data is not available is absurd.
  12. Not sure how old you are but I am certain you live somewhere liberal and likely don't travel much. Our country is not garbage, most of it is great, even places like NYC will be great again when they get real leaders. Before I started teaching I had a job where I worked in 50+ cities over 7 years and the only two I really disliked was LA and Vegas, because it was the only place where it seemed most people were willing to lie to get ahead. Our country is awesome, but in general we still have crap politicians.
  13. You showed entirely empty shelves, which we never had at all. Some items out of stock but I could always just get napkins vs paper towels and oatmeal vs cheerios. One of the articles you link to literally shows one brand of paper towel being out and acting like that is a big deal
  14. That top photo was never my local stores, only authoritarian governors caused that.
  15. I have been reading how McKinsey consulting is the group most responsible for the push to DEI by showing that by having diversity the business did better. Where McKinsey screwed up is they completely missed the reason was not related to the color or orientation of the person hired. The reason is that when you hire the best person regardless of these things you have a better more profitable company. The cause and effect reasons are completely messed up here.
  16. 100% cut spending, anyone who thinks the US government needs more tax money when it is already the most expensive government in world history needs to be ignored
  17. How is it a hoax? All that is stated by the school district is that there is no policy to do that, the fact that you think means no teacher did it shows how little you know about how some teachers now act.
  18. Can you show me all the studies of ocean temps and the stratosphere from the 1920's? As you stated much of the temp data is derived from computers, which have only been largely useful and accurate for 30 years. Secondly why have the overall predictions laid out by Al Gore in his crap movie been wrong? We have plenty of snow, hurricanes have not gotten worse, and temps are within 1* of that time frame. As we argued once before the very fact that they do not have the actual raw numbers from prior to 2008 but only the "fortified numbers" makes the whole thing absurd, scientists don't get to cull numbers at their choosing. The fact that they remove the 5% that disagrees with the assessment on a topic that is about small changes is crazy. If I took away my bottom 5% of students I would be the top teacher in the county easily every year. This is from the group that does the research "The CRU told some skeptical researchers it couldn't send them the original raw data because "data storage availability in the 1980s meant that we were not able to keep the multiple sources for some sites, only the station series after adjustment for homogeneity issues. We, therefore, do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (i.e. quality controlled and homogenized) data." This explanation raises legitimate questions about how the lost original data were manipulated to produce the "value-added" data. Later, University of East Anglia Pro-Vice-Chancellor Trevor Davies stated, "It is well known within the scientific community and particularly those who are skeptical of climate change that over 95% of the raw station data has been accessible through the Global Historical Climatology Network for several years." See above about data interdependence."
  19. Google used to state in 2010 that the largest playoff comeback in NFL history was some other team besides the Bills, Google is not the be all end all of searches. Because using a different search engine I found this: https://www.whec.com/archive/fact-check-cat-litter-in-schools/ Which did not pop up on Google. Beyond that kids do dumb crap like this all the time, putting kitty litter in the bathroom would not even crack the top ten dumb crap my students have done this year. I doubt any school officially sanctioned this but sometimes teachers do dumb things to help kids feel accepted
  20. I truly doubt we make any kind of move up to 6 but I would definitely use some of our plethora of picks to move up in the second to get a good recovery there.
  21. Sadly this is was likely the best deal we could get for Diggs because if we traded him and he pulled an AB we would really be in trouble because we would owe his salary and then have to cut him after June 1st if he did not want to play
  22. https://gmenhq.com/posts/this-giants-bills-trade-josh-allen-would-rock-nfl-before-draft-night-01htj9k4bpsj This is a writer for the Gmen and the "article" is hilarious. He thinks the talent gap from Josh to Daniel Jones could be covered by 2 1st rounders. He also thinks we would want Daniel Jones, which I would rather roll with Trubisky regardless of cost. Lastly the salary cap impact could not be dealt with even if we wanted to trade him. The reason I disagree is that last year we only had 4 picks stick around and 3 go play on other teams, we don't have the roster slots for all the players we should draft. Your player picks are fine but not enough roster slots.
  23. This is not the shot as Diggs some will take it as but the facts are that we started winning when Diggs stopped being the main target. He is clearly a great player but last year he was not a go to guy, he was just another receiver. His stats were middling for the entire second half of season and when it was time to step up he was not that guy. I wish him well but if we did not have the salary cap hit I would be glad to get a second for him.
  24. In this draft I don't want to spend any future picks to move up for a WR, since so many high potential guys are available. I would rather sit tight and draft best one at 28 and use round 5 pick to move up in second to get another. Other than MHJ I would not bet on any individual rookie WR is a difference maker before November so I am thinking long term here
  25. Diggs was the worst player on the offense vs the Chiefs this year. He dropped more than he caught and most especially the dropping of the bomb pass was the worst drop for Buffalo since Ronnie Harmon. Diggs is at best the third best receiver I have seen far behind Reed and Moulds but acted like he owned the playoff records while it is Moulds and Davis who really did.
