We are getting gashed by screens today, I hope we can figure it out before the season.

It's been nine years and this on defense still? I know that its preseason, but at some point, McDermott has to realize that the bend but don't break prevent scheme is not going to get us to go all the way no matter how good Allen is.

I don't post here much anymore because 80% of the posts were dominated by a small six or seven person TDS echo chamber with no interest in anything except for the same 10-15 talking points that we have heard for over a decade. It's not democrat vs Republican, it's only TDS. its an animal like impulse and reflex to be against Trump 100% of the time no matter what. For example. if Trump was to ban Pharmaceutical ads, we would get ten new threads a day from the same two people about how informative and popular Big Pharma ads were and how our ability to make medical decisions is being violated. As far as Canada and the US, the only thing that I see are a failed tariff negotiations and an unhealthy obsession from you that seems to have still been going on for months. I wish you the best in getting treatment and recovery for that. Enjoy your day, and Go Bills!

It's a bad look for Trump for fire her right after the report, but it is a good riddance. The job market has been awful for the last two years, go to your favorite social media site and you can find at any given time numerous videos of people from all walks of life and career paths telling us how hard it is to find any job. Despite, this, we are being told that plenty of jobs were out there and the job market was better than ever. I believe that the job numbers given this week were accurate, but I also believe that she was covering this up for two years and tried the equivalent of the "What did you do!" scene with the car door in Tommy Boy to make it look like it was all at once and solely from the current administration. This makes it harder to see how Trump is really doing on this because the numbers are creating a different story from the reality (record number followed by a sudden plunge) Whether this was deliberate or not, it was not accurately reflecting the actual market to Americans. Regardless, we definitely need to find a new way to measure jobs that factors in people who ran out of unemployment, gave up searching, took side gig work or accepted a job well below the pay range that they would other be qualified for.

Not consistent enough to start? Makes sense. Not an NFL talent? I don't agree. He is a good blocker and capable of big plays. Someone like that could help as a #3 or #4 option on plenty of teams.

I've mostly stayed away from PPP in the last two months, but the thread topics today make it feel like it has only been one day since i was here. The TDS is strong with a select few here. Mental health is real and these are clear cases of OCD.

I agree with both points. Adding to that, one topic that I have rarely seen come up anywhere is the amount of energy that a generative AI search burns compared to a normal one. The amount is exponentially more. Despite that Google has made it their default and there is no option to opt-out, or uniform easy way to disable it. Why should I only turn my AC to 79 degrees, stop eating meat while paying more money for hyper processed "plant based" alternatives and buy a twice as expensive electric car with no resale value when used and a battery that is damaging to the environment when Big Tech just made something that burns that much energy a default? We can certainly make individual changes because we think that it is the right thing to do, but forcing intrusive, expensive and impractical lifestyles on regular people while those on top did not follow suit was never the answer. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-do-googles-ai-answers-cost-the-environment/ https://news.mit.edu/2025/explained-generative-ai-environmental-impact-0117 https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-turn-off-ai-overviews-google-3445771/

If the thread has a dramatic title from a progressive troll, it must be exactly true as is and not exaggerated in any way at all.

Since every media outlet will only tell you their reason why they think it is good or bad. Here is a link to the actual house version of the bill for those who are interested. I plan to reserve judgment until I have read the final version. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1/text

The funny thing about national injunctions is that Dems in 2022 and 2023 including Harris and some of the justices found it important to reduce or ban national injunctions when Texas judges were doing the same thing against Biden. In all fairness, I am sure than many conservatives were fine with the process back then. Realistically, we can all admit that if the Supreme court had made this ruling two years ago, that the party reactions would have been opposite. With that in mind, I think that it is a fair ruling and would have also thought it back then. The ruling went beyond partisan. This loophole was always there, but was now being weaponized. This was a power that was starting to be abused by both sides over the last few years and was way getting out of hand in this term. It would have only gotten worse for Trump and even more so for the next President, regardless of party. The ability to start the process of a class action ruling gives state judges the power to fight what they perceive as unfair, but requires a little more support so that it is not the same few extreme people (for either party) having the power to slow the progress of a President down at will and using it frivolously. The decision yesterday was good for the country as a whole and gets rid of an disproportionate power balance while replacing it with a more reasonable solution.

Politics aside, this ruling is logical. I am not sure how it makes sense for someone at a lower level to be able to have enough power to universally override the higher-ups ruling at will if they do not like it. We can't do that to our managers and supervisors at work and Josh Allen couldn't override Beane and McDermott on a free agent signing after it has been done. They should still have a complaint or appeal process, but now it is more balanced so that judges on either side can't use frivolous stall tactics in the name of partisan politics..

This is a very fair stance. As much as I despised Biden, I would have given him along with our military full credit if he had accomplished a successful mission like this. The safety of our country is a higher priority than anyone in office and if it turns out Iran was actually close to using a nuke on Israel (I understand that this is a big if), then this was a heroic effort and decision.

The ultimate way of proving this "100% opposite of Orange man no matter what" mentality will be if RFK Jr. and Trump but a ban on pharmaceutical ads on TV. The sudden emergence of millions who find those commercials entertaining and informative will come out in droves even though i have yet to hear one person from any political party ever be pro Big Pharma ads on TV as of today.

"Yeah, but is it fully resolved or mostly resolved?........." CNN

Trump: We wiped out all nuclear sites The UN: Stating that Trump was successful in this operation, while using an analogy of a father breaking up a fight (which the media of course took out of context by pretending that analogies and metaphors don't exist) to demonstrate how successful they thought it was. Us Intel: Severe damage was done in Iran, but we do not know how much yet Most People: This was a good thing, we did not need Iran as a nuclear threat Many democrats: We still don't like Trump, but I am glad this happened, this individual attack was a success.. CNN, and NYT: Well technically he didnt do anything because we don't know if it is mostly or completely gone, and the Iranian leader said that no damage was done, so we will take his word for it and assume that Trump failed. This is yet another out of thousands of reasons why no one should see mainstream media as having any credibility anymore. They aren't just slanted towards a side anymore, they are so against one person and consumed by it, that they put themselves in a position of defending and rooting for an enemy country and taking the word of their leader over ours.
