And what if it turns out that birds actually aren't real and have been government drones the entire time? jk, that's been common knowledge for at least 3 years.

The things that David Fravor and the like encountered would be hard to chalk up as from various governments. He described a tic-tac like object with no heat signature or heat venting (it was hovering) that went from something like 30,000 ft above the ocean to 80 ft above the ocean almost instantaneously, with no acceleration or deceleration. Best way I can imagine something like that would be a generation defining breakthrough of harnessing gravity or something, which it seems we're very far away from and would be tough to keep a secret.

I'll take the minus. You give them too much credit - they're not out to get us, they're just incompetent.

Celebrity is already a sort of prison on its own in some respects. Can't imagine being legally unable to make the choices you want to make in your personal life.

The girl next to him is googling "Who is Taylor Martinez?"

The University of Michigan Library just released a bunch of digitized film from the 30s-60s. Here's 1962 Nebraska vs Michigan, Bob Devaney's first big win in his first year here. https://bentley.mivideo.it.umich.edu/media/t/1_1d438svk

I believe it was. The following was added in 2007 or 2008. People can argue about the definition of egregious, but by the time you get there you're grasping for straws. "ARTICLE 6. No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable. However, the replay official may correct egregious errors, including those involving the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable. This excludes fouls that are not specifically reviewable (Reviewable fouls: Rules 12-3-2-c and -d, 12-3-4-b and -e, and 12-3-5-a)."

That's a level 1 violation punishment? What is level 3 punishment? Having an FBI agent tell you, "you've been a very bad boy"?

Objective facts used to be at least as powerful if not the most powerful factor important at influencing public opinion. That era in human history is over. Objective fact is now far, far behind emotion, feelings, "my truth", tribe protection, etc. in power to persuade. I know this isn't the politics forum so I won't spend any time on it but you even have Presidents and parts of their teams using a legal defense of, "Obviously my lies don't count as lies because they are so ridiculous no reasonable person would believe them", even though that's why they say them in the first place.

If social media is the street, then they are definitely designing the street for accidents to happen, for people to stay on the street watching other accidents and causing accidents themselves, and then want to be the hero saying, "We have to stop all these accidents!" But yeah, humans are responsible too - it's just a losing battle for most individuals to win out over teams of billionaire geniuses who learned how to hijack and manipulate their brains.

Sounds like a terrible, awful idea... Social media needs to accept the fact that they ushered us into a post-truth era and their products aren't useful without it. Facebook already puts 'learn more about covid' type of banners on the bottoms of posts/pictures of mine that have NOTHING to do with covid. Automating and regulating themselves into irrelevancy.

"Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with not paying a fair market rate..." Is it just me or is that quote not true at all? All sorts of businesses in America get away with that all the time.

Doc Rivers seems like a stand-up guy and I've always liked him as a man, but never understood how lucky he's been as a coach. Seems to fail upwards more than someone like Lane Kiffin. I remember them cutting between the huddles of the Lakers/Celtics huddles in the Finals either 2008 or 2010. Phil Jackson was scheming X's and O's and directly addressing certain behavioral things, while Rivers was just saying things like, "ya know you guys, if you want it enough we'll be able to get this one." Seemed very pedestrian for a coach of an NBA team in the Finals.

Good weekend for us

He's just a sophomore?! So 15-16 years old? Did he flash a crayon written birth certificate by chance? Holy smokes.

He doesn't belong in the conversation. Being the greatest is different than being the best. It takes an alpha predator psyche that KD has never had.

Heard he's moving on to Rivendell Technical Institute

Thankfully it seems like 90+% of the public is rightfully on the side of reason with this one.

I have a meager little 6g tank with a betta. Not much, but everything in it is real including some alfalfa growing on the bottom, and working on an aquaponics system to grow... uh... well, some "lettuce"

They made the choice to go to college, and they should be free to choose to decide that it was a mistake and then go to a different one. It's not the military. Coaches won't like it, but who cares? Frost gets paid five million dollars a year, and if he gets fired will still get paid millions for failing, he can have the expectation of having to deal with stupid kids. Giving kids the right to move on whenever they see fit is not stupid, it's giving them the autonomy to be in control of their life. Forcing them to stay put is stupid - you never learn good lessons when you're coddled and protected, you only 'earn life's stripes' by taking risks.

People don't learn lessons by being forced into things without a choice. You learn lessons by making choices, and figuring out if and why they were the right or wrong ones. College football players have already had at least 4 years of 'being apart of something greater than your own damn self' in high school, and if it is a business, they should seek out the best company that offers them the best job at the best rate and not get manipulated by the executives and bosses into denying opportunity for themselves for the sake of the people getting rich off of them, imo. Now with that being said, lots of kids will still make bad choices. But those choices are their choices to make.

Great news!

Jeez, the full quote is even more harmless than the more contextual quote I had seen, and really paints Mitch Sherman as irresponsible in his reporting. Have never been impressed with him personally.

You can use chrome, opera, edge, firefox focus, ghostery, duck duck go, and other web browsers on iPhone.

Scott can learn to hold his tongue a little bit better in the fishbowl of Nebraska, but this is a big nothing burger and I couldn't care any less. Luke and Max have an understandable bias because Luke is their little brother, and you're supposed to protect and take care of your little brother. Nothing wrong with that. They are wrong, of course, in their arguments, but that's fine. The only people who will care are people who are letting personal attachments win over reason. Can't win with people like that no matter what you do.
