Yep, Canadian. As @Doc pointed out, likeability is more important than competence when it comes to getting the votes. Sure some people vote based on competence but the majority vote based on presentation. That's a sad reality, i don't think that is a good thing, but it usually is the. Who can lie best. Who can *seem* competent. Who looks like they can deal with adversity. None of those things mean they are the best for the job. DeSantis may very well be more competent. DeSantis is so awkward, going from fake smile to relief and back. He's kind of a whiney kid type, but every once in a while he remembers he's been told to smile so he does. Newsome fakes it much better. (both are slimy don't get me wrong). And really, you're gonna talk about poop and hold up a sign with poops on it during a debate? damn man, that's just base. DeSantis didn't need to add any more ick to himself. there are many better, more palatable points to make but he chose poop. So while Newsome has the blame, DeSantis is the one with a poop map pic circulating the internet. I'd like to see Trump debate DeSantis just once. Those on the right who support Desantis simply because he is team R would probably think differently after Trump scrapes him off of his shoe.

Dune, Brave New World, Handmaiden's Tale...is that just a clever graphic or have those books been removed?

I imagine the value is the same as any book on sexual materials for elementary school children, which were available when i was a kid. Most of the value there is probably to simply open conversation so that kids aren't afraid/embarrassed to talk if something wrong is happening. If the mindset is "we don't talk about that" then what happens if they need to? Ultimately though, I don't think it matters much. i wouldn't waste $$ getting rid of it. I seek to understand bans (or restrictions or whatever) in an age where everything is easily available, knowing that kids will be even more curious when things are banned.

Agree, I wouldn't waste precious education dollars on removing books either.

Lol fair enough

Banning books, wtf? Yeah, that really stops kids lol. They have the internet and most can outsmart their parents, especially online. They will get their hands on whatever, banning only makes them want to try harder. Sure, parents rights and all, but generally kids dgaf. Heck, without internet we got porn at waaaaay too young an age (7 maybe?). And i *think* i turned out fine. Had to wait till about 11 or 12 for the anarchist cookbook. And then the supreme disappointment at probably 13 when i read the famously banned (and only wanted it because it was banned) "Catcher in the Rye".

As an outsider looking in, the "issues" don't matter here, lies were everywhere, it's about likeability plain and simple. Newsome came off like a typical politician type who is well spoken and knows the game. We have seen his ilk many times before. Even when he was wrong or took a shot he let it roll off him and kept going. Not saying he would make a good president but he looks and acts the part in a stereotypical way. DeSantis is so unlikable with the awkward smiling it's cringeworthy. The poop map was in such poor taste and he stood there grinning "gotcha!" Really, you went to poop? Lol it was pretty bad. When he was under fire ugh man it's almost unbelievable that he hasn't learned how to deal with it. You think he would have learned from Trump but he is no Trump, not at all.

No. And if so, to what end?

i knew there was more to it! 😂

melon farmers are pretty great. they bring us melons. i like melons. maybe you don't like melons? that's a shame. what's especially cool is that we have a melon farmer who is also an absolute STUD QB! too bad you dont like melons or stud qbs you would probably enjoy life more but what do i know im just a guy who likes melons and stud qbs.

I don't believe you lol

Good old trends that have zero relevance

There is no substitute for real game action especially in rehab. If he is to rehabilitate, he needs to play. Saying he "literally does nothing" is just wrong. Literally.

I want something i can't make for myself. Lobster, steak, all that good stuff i can do myself High quality sushi my #1 choice Dim sum #2

Ah yes, two data points four years apart = trend. Excellent analysis.

None of us know where von can get to but if there is a chance for him to make an impact this season, he must play.

How can we ceasefire when both sides fighting this war want to fight? I hate that innocents will die because of war, i really do, but that's what happens when people want to obliterate each other.

"everyone" lol. who are you, gary oldman?

It's both at once - imo the coaches are forcing the issue. He has to learn to process better and he can't do that running wild. also can't be done outside of real game action. Stay put and learn to process. If Allen can improve (doesn't have to be perfect) it adds a new dimension to his game which is a big step towards ultimate success.

For now, yes, and Josh needs to learn to win that way.

hahahahaha 9 points

"if" something that didn't happen happened, then we don't know what's next. You predict the game would have been exactly the same but i doubt it.

Being on the field is part of rehab.

That's quite the judgement to make considering he is obviously not fully rehabbed. I mean, he could be washed yes, but total and complete remains to be seen.

He needs to be in games to improve. He's rehabbing. Chill.
