It’s my opinion that having these Transgender Days and celebrating Transgenderism is a disservice a great deal of confused young adults who get wrapped up into the false ideology by members who really don’t have the best interest of the said individuals well being.   They just want to advance what I think can be described as a cult that preys upon confused/mentally unstable young adults looking for where they fit in in life.  They are looking for acceptance somewhere and people wanting to promote the transgender ideology are more than happy to rope them in.  

Huh, interesting. You just described the exact same thing that I and millions of others experienced with evangelicalism  

So let me see if I'm getting this story straight..

Israel, with the most advanced targeting and missile systems known to man and with a drone fleet that can make out the nike swoosh on someone's shoes, and with reports and knowledge of the exact locations and movement of easily identifiable vehicles with a food relife charity, accidentally executes a strike against said food relief charity. The survivors notified  the IDF they had been attacked, some of them get out of that car and into another car, and Israel accidentally strikes that one too  (over a kilometer away), only to finally accidentally strike a 3rd car for a 3rd time over 2.5 km away.

Is it really always Republicans guilty of election fraud though?  Posts in this very thread make that source a lie.  

I seem to remember the Heritage Foundation (conservative think tank) putting out numbers a while back that showed out of the ~1500 or so documented cases of voter fraud in the last 15 years, 90+% have been by Republicans. I'll let you decide how you want to define that in relation to the term 'always'.

I am convinced we will continue to lose to Colorado until such a time when our fanbase will stop brazenly assuming there is NO way we lose to Colorado.

Way too many. And Trump had way way way more and also way too many. We are the terrorist state to the perception of many around the world, in the same way that Israel is to Palestinians, and not without evidence and reason for thinking so.

For #2) he coulda maybe possibly just took ownership of it instead of denying it.  
 

He coulda also said “hey, in honor of the upcoming Easter Holiday, we are gonna proclaim this day on Saturday this year while also remembering the 25 other days of remembrance coming up later in the year. 
 

For #3) if we are gonna make a funny, then It’s not very inclusive of him to deny a press release about all the other days of remembrance if we are going for inclusiveness.

The idea of moving him to WR at Nebraska was a message board fantasy, and the media's wet dream too. 

Message board fantasy...fueled by the evidence of him being successful playing wide receiver with an entrenched multi-year starter at qb 

Shocked pikachu face that nobody disapproving of Biden's trans visibility day message also felt behoven to share his easter remarks, but here they are:

Jill and I send our warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday. Easter reminds us of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s Resurrection.

As we gather with loved ones, we remember Jesus’ sacrifice. We pray for one another and cherish the blessing of the dawn of new possibilities. And with wars and conflict taking a toll on innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to work for peace, security, and dignity for all people.

From our family to yours, happy Easter and may God bless you.

The comments on this are funny. Inclusive left hating on Jenner, a trans, due to political differences. Ironic.

Isn't it a good thing to treat people as individuals and not give them a pass because they belong to a certain group? Surely you're not advocating for identity politics.

Who cares whether it was chosen as a direct affront?  It is on Easter,  is it not. 

The tweet you shared called it disgraceful, rather than just pointing out a coincidence. You felt it was worth sharing. So I would imagine you cared, at least to start.

Either a deliberate or tone deaf move by the White House knowing how this would go, but the biggest offenders here are all the hacks and grifters and commentators using this as ragebait. A hunch tells me the authors of these linked tweets will be sharing Biden's Easter remarks tomorrow.

Probably would've gone differently if you and him and others didn't start it off with the silly erroneous claims that Biden chose Easter as the day for this.

Clemson made the Elite 8, or the Great 8....  Their coach was asked about "What does this mean to them, and to the rest of college basketball?" and the Clemson coach responded....

 

"It means we are not just a football program"  and then went on about their program.

 

Really? 

 

Your team made it to the tournament with 11 losses, but this season with some moderate success it means "We are not just a football program" ??

 

How about you make 3 or 4 Final Fours in 5 years before claiming that??

 

I mean, that's like Nebraska basketball having one good year and  making the NCAA tournament with 63 other teams, and giving the coach a contract extension.  (Too soon?  Yeah, I think so.  That's your normal goal every year).

 

It's like Bo Pellini having a football team with 4 losses, winning a bowl game and claiming "We're Baaack".

 

Instead of claiming how great we are RN, we actually become great year after year after year.  It's a 64 team tournament, with some upsets, some good wins, some bad losses.  

 

Seriously, "not just a football program" for a team with 11 losses doing well in March Madness.  

 

I'm not saying that can't make it to the Final 4 or play for a championship.  I'm not saying they can't win it all, or that they are bad.  I mean, they are playing pretty good and I am rooting for them.  I just think it's too soon to claim how great your basketball program is, or give coaches a contract extension for making a tournament with 63 other teams.  Let's just see how they do the next couple years first.

 

His job isn't to be committed to a purely rational worldview, his job is to support and hype up his team and program. 

Next you're gonna tell me you have a problem with the inaccuracy of Husker Athletics using the phrase, "Our Red Burns Brighter".

A nuclear non divorced family structure is considered traditional.   That can’t always be the case.   Sometimes a parent dies and an uncle steps in as a father figure or a step-dad does a good job with it, or divorced parents that make it a point to have both parents support kids lives and be in their lives, etc…

How about a masculine breadwinner mom and a feminine stay at home home?

I worked with a guy from Brazil years ago.  Down there, the OK sign was offensive because if you flash it at someone, you're basically calling them an a$$ hole.  I had fun always flashing it at him.

 

 

We all knew this is what comes next. Ever since the ADL said, "Use of the okay symbol in most contexts is entirely innocuous and harmless.", @BigRedBuster is acting like we shouldn’t use the OK sign because racists and Brazilians are using it badly.

Just for fun, I'm gonna LARP as a poster sharing content from a right wing Christian commentator for a second.

Once again, the Looney Left thinks just about everything is racist.  

From the article:

Quote

 

You guys, I got a brand new white supremacist term for you: OK!

Seriously, according to the Anti-Defamation League — which is not okay as an organization according to many [made up, non-linked] sources — "OK is shorthand among white supremacists for 'white power'"

 

Here's how the ADL describes OK on their website. Yes, this is REALLY WHAT THEY SAID I'M 100% NOT JOKING ONLY QUOTING:

 

"The “okay” hand gesture—in which the thumb and index finger touch while the other fingers of the hand are held outstretched—is an obvious and ancient gesture that has arisen in many cultures over the years with different meanings.

 

Today, in a usage that dates to at least as early as 17th century Great Britain, it most commonly signals understanding, consent, approval or well-being. Since the early 1800s, the gesture increasingly became associated with the word “okay” and its abbreviation “ok.”  The gesture is also important in the Hindu and Buddhist worlds, as well as in yoga, where it is known as mudra or vitarka mudra, a symbol of inner perfection.  The "okay" hand gesture also forms part of the basis for a number of words or concepts in American Sign Language. It appears in many other contexts as well.

 

Use of the okay symbol in most contexts is entirely innocuous and harmless.

In 2017, the “okay” hand gesture acquired a new and different significance thanks to a hoax by members of the website 4chan to falsely promote the gesture as a hate symbol, claiming that the gesture represented the letters “wp,” for “white power.”

 

In the case of the “okay” gesture, the hoax was so successful the symbol became a popular trolling tactic on the part of right-leaning individuals, who would often post photos to social media of themselves posing while making the “okay” gesture.

 

Ironically, some white supremacists themselves soon also participated in such trolling tactics, lending an actual credence to those who labeled the trolling gesture as racist in nature. By 2019, at least some white supremacists seem to have abandoned the ironic or satiric intent behind the original trolling campaign and used the symbol as a sincere expression of white supremacy, such as when Australian white supremacist Brenton Tarrant flashed the symbol during a March 2019 courtroom appearance soon after his arrest for allegedly murdering 50 people in a shooting spree at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.

 

The overwhelming usage of the “okay” hand gesture today is still its traditional purpose as a gesture signifying assent or approval. As a result, someone who uses the symbol cannot be assumed to be using the symbol in either a trolling or, especially, white supremacist context unless other contextual evidence exists to support the contention. Since 2017, many people have been falsely accused of being racist or white supremacist for using the “okay” gesture in its traditional and innocuous sense.

 

Okay, so basically some weirdos use an ancient hand gesture in a racist way so now the ADL is very clearly claiming that it's racist for all of us?

 

Bro, I use that hand gesture multiple times a week. I guess I've solidified my position as a white supremacist in the eyes of the ADL (we're all white supremacists in the eyes of the ADL). Can't believe I am seriously saying that they are seriously saying that OK = racist.

 

OK isn't racist. Saying okay with your mouth or your hands isn't racist. Thumbs up isn't racist either. The ADL is clearly acting like we shouldn't use the ok hand symbol because racists are using it now and it gives them credence.   You know what happens next!

That’s actually “not it”.  Because you know what happens next.  Next time someone the everything is racist bros don’t like uses 100% for something, that crowd then states it a dog whistle.  Next thing ya know people need to not use 100% out of respect for the marginalized community.  Same s#!t happened with the okay hand symbol. 

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.

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.

Now here is where you are wrong again.  I don’t deny climate change and never have.   What you don’t seem to know is the Earths climate has changed for billions of years.  You may also not understand that humans have not been on the planet for billions of years.  

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.

This is what a lot of people have had an issue with, myself included.  It's possible to do a pretty nice upgrade without spending a HALF A BILLION dollars.  What is it with that price tag?

Part of it is that they have an entire massive structure to first completely demolish and then rebuild from the bedrock up, but it's not just a grandstand. They also have to remake the computer science center or whatever the hell is living inside of south stadium right now. If you look at Darrel K. Royal as a comparison, there was hardly anything in the way to start with, and for all we know they were able to use the existing foundation which we can't.

Another element is the capacity equation. There are about 23,000 seats in south stadium. Let's say we did Texas' endzone the exact same to save on costs. That's roughly the first two sections of our proposed four tiered plan. The current plans are for the new south stadium to have ~15,000 seats. Just guessing based off my eyes but at least 10,000+ of those are the top two sections. So we'd be looking at a total capacity of about 65,000 and several thousand severely pissed off season ticket holders/donors.

Our stadium is old old old, we've got massive amounts of season ticket holders, we need to modernize which takes up more space, and the AD wants to make as much money as possible. That's a really tricky equation that won't be cheap no matter what imo, although I am sure there are pivots and alternatives to specifically what Trev had planned that could and would make sense.

Edit: Also, yeah, inflation.
