    I have not watched "Zardoz". I will need to see if I can find it.

     

    I have enjoyed every movie I have seen him in even ones panned by critics.


     

    He was always better than the role. He could be in a garbage movie with horrible co-stars and still be amazing and lend some credibility to the movie.

     

    I’ve had a hankering for Hunt for Red October for a while now, tonight might be the night.

    WR decision time

    in Fantasy Football

    Posted

    Alright- here’s the deal. 
     

    I have to start 3 WR’s cause my Flex RB is on bye. Here are my options:

     

    - Diggs

    - Thielen

    - Justin Jefferson

    - Tre Higgins

     

    I know Jefferson gets the go, as he’s been great for me. Theilan usually kills the Packers, so that seems like a good play. 
     

    So I’m left with Diggs vs. the Pats, or Higgins vs. the Titans.

     

    i don’t love either of those matchups.

    Ok, how about something positive......

    I'm not overly honed in on Presidential history so just some thoughts: 

     

    - Reagen is obvious. 

     

    - Grover Cleveland is amazing just cause of the separate terms thing. (literally only that reason)

     

    - Teddy is the man. (literally - he might be in the dictionary under "man")

     

    - Part of me feels like the guy who didn't wear a coat and died should get some love... You know there was some idiot chief of staff telling him he needed to project strength by not wearing a coat.

    WTF

    @SDS 

     

    The problem is this: 

     

    There are two kinds of posters on this side of the forum.

     

    1- the kind that respects the minutia of the forum, respect other posters, post facts, and discuss like adults with a willingness to slap each other once in a while but end as adults.

     

    2- children/trolls/mentally handicapped pond scum who come here to barrage the board with worthless junk and opinions and refuse to engage in a genuine conversation, delete threads when they are proven wrong, and overall cause chaos. 
     

    (Don’t take my delineation to be a right v. Left thing as there are many good posters on the left here who slot into #1)

     

    The first group of people are those who have understood that the mods desire not to mess with this forum. We get that and so we don’t report worthless trolls to the mods. It’s a waste of your time. There’s two options for these posters:

    1- utilize the ignore feature (which is largely useless at preventing spam and actually ignoring posts) 

     

    2- engage the mental patients at their level. 
     

    While I can understand issues with posters not respecting the mods, and I get your need to deal with it as you see fit, what I disagree with and where I see you as wrong is this: poster group #1 functions on this board with little to no involvement of the mods. Many of us have been here for several years without reporting stuff, without seeking moderation, and in general existing in this community with the unique rules that exist within.

     

    Group #2 goes out of their way to whine to mods, and seek to change the overall fabric of PPP by involving mods, often times reporting behavior that is identitical to theirs that goes unreported because group #1 doesn’t want to involve the mods. 
     

    So now, over the last 12 months the board has been flooded with demo #2. Ask anyone whose been here for years- it’s getting extreme. Instead of reporting said trolls, and involving mods, we’ve been choosing one or the other of the options while the board as a whole slips into chaos. 
     

    Now you can understand the issue when all the sudden the mods do care to come down here at the request of the trolls and met out justice while not getting involved enough to deal with the trolls. It’s a double standard.

     

    I finish with this: if you want a genuine reflection of what this board looks like/where these lines have been drawn, look at the posting and reputation history is the people in this thread defending DR vs. those attacking him. Doesn’t that say anything about the situation down here that, by your own admission, you remain intentionally ignorant of?

    Why do you believe what you're told?

    No, not a student paper or clinical research.  I ask because it seems to me that the masses of humanity are enslaved by BELIEF.  As in, they believe what they're told without questioning.  I'm both the most scientific and spiritual person you will ever meet, but none of it has to do with belief.


    I don’t believe you. 

    Even Seen a Bear? (Take 2)

    I lived in Jackson Hole Wyoming for a year, hiked in Grand Teton National park and Yellowstone a bunch (as well as driving tours) and never saw one. Randomly had one run in front of my car in the Appalachians like a month after I got back. I’ve seen two others since then.
     

    I also saw a dead one about 100 yards down the street from my house (roadkill)... had no idea we had them this close to my place. 

    The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

    Judging by the reactions of typical fans in the titans thread, I guess we are still going to pretend this was the virus we feared in March rather than the one we have data on now. 

     

    Sometimes I have little hope for humans 

     

     


     

    I have to be honest, the Titans news scares me too.... not to do with the virus, but cause I don’t want the season cancelled and I know the fear mongers would love to see that happen (maybe right before the election: “Trump’s response is so bad football is canceled!”)

     

     

    Full Nazi lockdown on all covid stuff on the main board. I actually don’t mind. It’s better than the selective editing removing any opinions, sources, and facts differing from the main steam that we’ve had till now.

    Sir Maejor Page!? :blink:

    So he scammed them in Atlanta with plans to move to Toledo (or maybe a rental)?
     

    </snip>
     

    Page founded Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta in 2016 and this year took in more than $466,000 in donations in June, July and August, Desorbo said.
     

    </snip>
     

    According to the bureau, Page also used $112,000 of the donated money to purchase a house for himself in Toledo, Ohio. The transaction took place last month.
     

    </snip>
     


     

    The good news is, for that price he definitely got the best house in Toledo.

    Any vaccine that is released to the general public, will be one tested and approved by the FDA.

     

    If you choose not to take it because of your President Trump distrust,

     

    you expose yourself, not just to the virus, but as a fool also.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I mean, I'm not gonna be lining up for the vaccine, but it isn't from lack of trusting Trump.
