Just curious, can you name me a quarterback in Nebraska history with a higher career quarterback rating than Adrian?

Yep, totally the same as a large media company paying the whacko milliions and providing a platform for the whacko to reach millions.

If it's not the same then name the dollar amount and/or the number of people listening that makes it cross some magical threshold of being problematic.

But if he wants to lead a cause -- and it appears that he does -- he's gotta accept the blowback, especially when he's dealing in random parts from the internet and passing them off as the "equivalent" of the other side. 

"lead a cause" and "misinformation" seem like such wildly overblown language. 

He's a dude chilling, drinking, smoking weed and shooting the s#!t with people. That's all his podcast is, 3-4+ hours at a time just chitchatting about anything and everything. He's also a self-described meathead dips#!t idiot and has told people numerous times not to take medical or scientific advice from him because he has no idea what he's talking about. Only difference is he gets paid a f#&% ton of money for it and massive amounts of people like listening.

There's no misinformation responsibility or cause/crusade happening when you get a drink with some whacko spouting nonsense at the bar, so there shouldn't be here either.

And Rogan is making part of his money off of his misinformation about covid, so I'm not all that sympathetic towards him either. 

Does this mean Rogan made less money before covid?

Some of the language makes me wonder if this is presented to imply that two heterosexual parents having kids living on their own is bad.

When you asked I assumed the language was coming from someone defending "nuclear family", in which case that's usually what that language would imply.

In this case, all it means is, "We create spaces for all different kinds of relationships"

Black Families creates a space that is family friendly and free from patriarchal practices. “There are lots of different kinds of families; what makes a family is that it’s people who take care of each other. It’s important to make sure that all families feel welcome.” 

Black Villages is the disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the “collective village” that takes care of each other. “There are lots of different kinds of families; what makes a family is that it’s people who take care of each other; those people might be related, or maybe they choose to be family together and to take care of each other. Sometimes, when it’s lots of families together, it can be called a village”

"disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics"

 

 

It means anything other than two heterosexual parents having kids living on their own is bad.

^^ per Johns Hopkins University

 

The lockdowns during the early phase of the pandemic in 2020 reduced COVID-19 mortality by about 0.2%, said the broad review of multiple scientific studies.

 

“We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality,” the researchers wrote.

But the research paper said lockdowns did have “devastating effects” on the economy and contributed to numerous social ills.

“They have contributed to reducing economic activity, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy,” the report said.

 

Don't have the time to dive into it all the way but I'm curious how you could possibly reach a conclusion one way or the other on that? 

It's not like we can A/B test it.

I guess I get that part of it. I’m sure nobody likes being referred to as the other gender or a gender they don’t identify with.

 

My confusion is, if you’re not a boy and not a girl, what is left?  Like I said earlier, it’s probably my binary brain and lifetime of thinking there’s only two choices. I even can handle people falling somewhere on the spectrum, ie 28% male & 72% female. But to claim or feel you are neither gender. To me that’s bordering on identifying as non-human or some such thing. IDK, maybe I should look at it as right in the middle 50-50? But then there’s the whole why and how of it. I’m probably just too old to “get” it. My kids seem to understand and accept these things but they can’t explain them very well either.

 

I think it makes sense that it doesn't make sense, so to speak. Something new, unfamiliar, novel and seemingly breaking the rules doesn't automatically get easily categorized in your brain, because the point is sort of that it's breaking categories.

I do think eventually more of this will turn it into an NFL atmosphere as the days of packed 90k stadiums slowly dwindle away. 

Nebraska already has a very NFL esque atmosphere compared to most college football experiences so there's not really much lost there.

I heard white supremacists also eat food!

When you get these can you click on the ad and post the URL so we can get it blocked. 

The trouble is every time I hear one  have no idea of figuring out which one it is. None of them visually show the ski resort, and there's 6 or 7 ads on screen at the same time so I don't understand how to figure out which is doing it.

Just had another Keystone audio ad.

Maybe you’re the person that can explain non-binary to me? My understanding is the person doesn’t identify as male or female and wants to be referred to as “they” or “them”. Okay, fine. Maybe it’s just my old fashioned binary brain but if they’re not male or female….I….I….I don’t get it. And I’m not sure what that is supposed to tell me about them or what it really means. Why do they feel it is important to let people know that?

What's there to get? I'm not being condescending, just asking honestly what you're getting at. They don't identify with either gender. That's it. If you get that there's nothing else to get. That's for them, and they likely hope that you'll honor and respect that but they likely won't be surprised if you don't or if you can't. 

Take it out of the realm of gender and it's easier to understand imo. What do you identify as in life? A business owner? A good citizen? A Christian? What if you still identify as a Christian but you start believing things that 90+% of Christians don't believe? They'll probably say you're not one, but your identification with that label has nothing to do with them and isn't dependent on their approval. That's for you to be able to navigate life however you want or need.

The other confusing part for me, and someone correct me if my English is off, but they/them refer to a plural and a single person is using it.   That person is a single individual so why use a plural?  

"I think someone who works really hard should enjoy their vacation."

"I've got a friend who lives in Texas. They love tacos."

"Could you please let whoever left their umbrella in the office know that they can find it in the lost and found?"

Not sure if this was discussed elsewhere but I have been following the story of the Trans swimmer for Penn competing on the women's swim team and breaking records. I always felt like their would be a backlash on fairness from women or women's groups. That appears to be happening now. There are a lot of interesting points about how testosterone suppression does not completely take away the male advantages in competition. So what is the solution? Do we allow all genders to compete together based on some ability criteria? A, B and C leagues so to speak?

Trans people participating in sports at a high level is something we really haven't figured out how to wrestle with effectively, and honestly I don't know what the solution is. It's a very minor issue overall, but doesn't mean it's not something to figure out especially in the case of trans women having an unfair advantage.

So who gets to decide who the cool Christians are, versus the Christians living in a spiritual vacuum?

 

If most Christians have never discovered the difference, then God is pretty lousy at choosing His Christian messengers. 

 

Not sure Major W. Ian Thomas is gonna break that trend. 

For the ones who stand to benefit with power it's just a convenient tribe-reinforcing No True Scotsman fallacy.

For the ones who, imo, truly meet and follow the real Jesus, they do away with silly things like gatekeeping a label or participating in that socio-cultural spiritual tribe in the first place.

OOF just barely

This is prolly the wrong thread but what up with the recent Jeopardy champion. She (former he) is trans but is in a gay relationship with a woman…..

Does this confuse anybody else? Isn’t that the equivalent of a double negative? Is it really a gay relationship if it’s a former male with a female? So many questions.

Sexual orientation and gender identity have nothing to do with each other other than the first is informed, relatively, by the second.

At the end of the day these are just terms and labels, but if she is in a relationship with a woman, that's a "gay" (or lesbian, or however they want to define it) relationship.

@B.B. Hemingway  sounds like what we discuss all the time here.  

"Every day someone on the other side of the aisle and either subtly or comes right out and suggests...

if you want to debate me on the merits of our particular policies I am happy to have that discussion"

Continues for a few minutes not debating anything related to policy whatsoever but subtly suggests that everyone on the other side of the aisle is racebaiting and not operating in good faith. Lol ok.

If diversification was the goal, an Asian female would be the most logical choice.  Would make the court 5-4 male/female and put the one nationality on the court that currently isn’t represented.

I don't think you or I are in any position to deny evolution and genetics, or the environment and conditions that influence both. I'm sorry if you can't bring yourself to acknowledge such a benign, and clear observation. 

Where's the scientific consensus that black people's evolution and genetics make them more athletically gifted?

Kind of a sidebar from the conversation, but was interested after seeing that Casey talked with Tim Beck about NU before transferring.

It's a damn shame Beck had such a particular struggle pop up from time to time as an in-game playcaller. His offense was fun, inventive and the perfect modern reimagination of what made Nebraska Nebraska for so long. In the future I wouldn't at all be upset to see Beck come back as a Co-OC - he designs the offense and someone else with a better feel for flow and strategy calls the actual plays.

The dude is very well connected in the track coaching world.  

 

No clue.

 

I'm going off of what he told me.  I don't know the fine details of the situation.  

 

All I know is that he believes it will be very hard for him to move up in the track coaching world because of it.  With his experience and connections, I have to believe him.

I know lots of pastors who think something very similar about how hard it is for Christians in America right now and how the world is out to get them. Doesn't make it anywhere close to true.
