  1. I forget who posted it, but I read maybe my favorite joke ever on this message board. "I like my coffee like I like my ladies; hot and all over my crotch when I'm driving".

  2. The ADL isn't posting on Huskerboard my friend. Keep track of your own arguments. I thought we were talking about ADL calling things racist and acting like we shouldn’t use 100% because racists are using it, and now we're talking about some vague hypothetical slippery slope unrelated to ADL. Not sure if you don't get out much or what, but people still use the okay hand symbol all the time and it is just fine and without a second thought (for the record, I absolutely agree that the controversy over the ok sign is ludicrous, but that's a different conversation). So to recap: • You claimed that, "the Looney Left thinks just about everything is racist" with your supporting 'evidence' that doesn't actually show anyone calling anything racist, but rather only documents racist people doing something. • You claimed that, "the ADL is way out on its skis with this one", even though all the ADL has done is document something that exists in the world (with visual aid photos even). • You claimed that, "50 plus 50 is 100 and that’s not racist. Using, I’m committed 100% is not racist. Answering a question about liking something with 100% is not racist." which...okay, you are right about that, but sir this is a Wendy's and nobody made any claims otherwise. • You claimed that, "The ADL is acting like we shouldn’t use 100% because racists are using it now" even though they aren't acting like that and haven't. • You claimed that, "People claim every white person who does the okay symbol is flashing a racist sign.", which.....lol. Show me one single person making this specific claim that every white person doing the ok sign is flashing a racist sign and I will immediately concede the point and agree that this is a notable subset of the population who think this way. and on and on and on. Actually an impressive total accumulation of absolute fantasy.

  5. I saw it in a movie. Scientists are super smart. Scientists do great work. The climate does change. Glaciers so melt, and freeze. Humans do have some effect on the climate. I’m pretty sure nuclear war is a greater threat than climate change, so yeah, I guess I take it up with them. Damn tree huggers ruin everything. Yes less horses#!t but it ended up changing the climate to a serious 10 on a scale of 1-10. Sounds like we should have stayed with the horses#!t.

  6. I only get out on Tuesdays between 9:45 and 9:57. PM that is. so you agree with me it’s ludicrous……but feel the need to post a novel about why I’m wrong? Seems legit

  12. You know what happened with the okay hand symbol? People still use it. It typically requires context. As mentioned: Damian Lillard hits a three pointer, no problem. Cop holds it up at a George Floyd rally, worth looking into. Don't recall the "okay" issue coming up the last couple years. Don't expect the 100% controversy to disrupt the math community. Totally expect the worst douchebags on the internet to stir up outrage wherever they find it. Can't let it dilute legitimate outrage. Because when Nick Fuentes is a dinner guest of the once and future President of the United States, you can't make fun of dog whistles anymore.

  14. Well in the example provided, the people who monitor right wing and extremist messaging are alerting us that the racist community is using 100% as one of its codes for white supremacism. It shouldn't mean that everyone using the 100% symbol is racist, but it's a fact that it's been co-opted by organized racists and prison gangs. They also alerted us that the "okay" finger symbol had been co-opted by white supremacists -- as was Pepe the Frog -- which didn't mean that Damian Lillard was a racist for celebrating a three pointer, but some police officers on a social media post most definitely were. I mean, I never knew that 6MWE was code for "6 Million (Jews) Weren't Enough" until insurrectionists put it on t-shirts, just one reason why January 6 was such a teachable moment. If you take a gander at the rest of Not The Bee's content, he loves context-free over-reactions. He seems almost giddy that the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in crime-ravaged Baltimore due to a boat from an immigrant country and that the ramifications will hurt the economy under Joe Biden's watch.

  17. Got a question for you because, I think you probably live in a very Republican area like me where so many of your friends have supported Trump and most still do. Are you open with your friends that you don't support Trump anymore? I've learned to be very cautious about that. I have a small/close group of friends that know I've never supported him (but they have) and we kid each other a lot back and forth about it. But, most people who are Trump people, are so into him that it just becomes and argument so I don't say anything. you?

  18. Black. We did get an espresso machine and my wife will make me a flavored latte but she doesn't overpower the espresso. But I also drink the espresso black too in one of those douchey mini cups lol I like iced coffee/cold brew too but not with a ton of stuff in it. Splash of milk and maybe a tiny bit of a syrup

  19. Maybe us having an ex President who is running again and is the clear nominee of a major party needing to sell Bibles for 59.99 to help pay his legal bills and about 1/3 of the country still thinks he's amazing and will probably buy them up thinking it gets them a little closer to heaven.

  20. I am totally for anyone making as much money as they can. If they do it illegally and you hate one person for doing it, then you have to hate everyone that does it. I wish I would sell my house for 10 times what it is worth.

  25. Looking at the facts of the case Tim, he sold his penthouse for $18mm while it was valued at $1.8mm and assessed at I think $850k. He probably had to pay the gains on that sale. It then sold for $13mm later. Maybe the buyer over paid because it was a celebrities house. They can't write off that loss if it was their primary home. So some of the taxes were captured. I get it. You don't like hypocrisy and want everyone held accountable to the same standards. The problem these two situations are not the same. Assessed value rarely if ever equates to market value. Nor do assessors increase assessed value to match sale price. I know this because I'm good friends with our county assessor and they have told me so. Assessed valuation changes occur when overall neighborhood marked trends dictate an adjustment, or if there is a material change to the property. Trump over inflated the value of his properties (and factual characteristics of the properties) to represent a better Loan To Value ratio, thus earning him a more competitive rate. Stewart sold his home to a willing buyer for asking price.

  26. Environmental change is real. Yes. It may or may not be a problem for humanity, we truly do not know. Why doesn't the free market mitigate the problem? Do you have sources for that? And, if human consumption is the driving factor, what is anyone doing about China, India and Russia...whose negative output dwarfs the US and Eu? No, I don't believe that "usage" or "consumption" taxes or fair or realistic. Tell that to the climate warriors that jet set around the globe to tell me that my 2008 F150 is the major contributing factor. gtfoh Nope, not a smoker. My dad is/was and still says he should have a seat in Devaney in perpetuity cause "smoker's taxes" paid for it. As to the rest, we learned as we go...and some things are definitive and some are supposition.

  27. I have a problem with all taxes, as we all do. But I don't think that is your point. Do you do ANYTHING at all that hurts the environment, anything? I do, my car, my house, some of the stuff I burn in my fire pit. What about you?

  28. No. This is just college basketball now. for the last probably 5 or so years, I don’t pay much attention to the roster till practice in the fall is about to start. Sure, there’s guys I’d love to stick around and build on. But, you never know who is going to be here.

  31. How do you know the Earth's climate has changed over billions of years? How do you know that the Earth didn't used to have glaciers? I mean, I knew that, too. I was a geology minor at UNL. Always found it fascinating. The Earth has been through its share of extremes long before humans came along, much less AOC. The reason we know all this about the Earth is because scientists dedicated their lives to studying it. And it's those same scientists who know perfectly well about the Earth's violent past who are tracking the 100%* undeniable fact of global warming, glacial melt, climate change and severe weather increase. These f#&%ers are so smart they took that cold week in Omaha into account. When asked for a reason for this rapid of a change in this particular Earth window, some theorize that the trillions of tons of carbon thrown into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution could easily have that effect. Some point out that volcanoes do the same thing. But the smart ones point out that human industrialization can affect the Earth's climate just like historic eruptions do. One hardly excuses the other. It was the tree huggers at the Pentagon who identified climate change as the worst threat to global stability. Maybe you could take it up with them. In the meantime, under the cloak of socialism, the push to more efficient energy usage turns out to have a strong business innovation, jobs creation, and American intellectual property component. I guess horse manufacturers were threatened by the arrival of the automobile back in the day, but we survived, and somehow managed to live with a lot less horses#!t. * Mathematical probability, not racist.

  38. The ADL hasn't made any claims even remotely like this. They have a database of things used as hate symbols, and they explain what the thing is and why/how it's being used and that's it. You and notthebee both agree with the only assertion being made by the ADL which is that racists are using 100% in a racist way. You're arguing against ghosts. No they aren't..? What in the world are you talking about? (that's rhetorical no need to answer)

  39. There's denying it exists, which way too many people do in the first place, and then there's different flavors of denying that it is a problem for us. I think you're well aware of what has historically happened to dominant life forms when the earth's climate changed too much. Our existence is based in part off of the stability of the climate. Our flourishing and comfort and safety are based in part off of the stability of the climate even moreso. Our bodies, buildings, grids, cities, and systems of social order are all predicated on the predictability and regularity of the last several thousand years of stable ice age and are fundamentally ill-equipped to withstand the results of severe changes to those parameters. Even if we've had nothing to do with the way the climate has been changing, it's pretty imperative for life as we know it to figure out ways we can engineer against it.

  41. The ocean temperature in the North Atlantic has set a record high every day in 2024. And not by small margins. I never said that. What I said was that the planet warming has far surpassed worse case scenarios, predictions made by scientists years ago. No scientific projections predicted ocean temperatures where they are today - hence the meaning of passing even the worst scenarios because that's true. I say that because reactionary politics of people on the right are in large part because of paranoia and fear. Archy1221 and other right wingers deny climate change because denying reality is comforting to them. Because the truth scares them, and they'd have to reconcile support for destructive politics.
