Pretty similar logic to people convinced that all officiating is terrible.

It's exactly the same logic teach uses quite frequently.

Why do you love h the Hammies so much?

I am sad you want them around.

 

Don’t be sad for me… I want all those terrorists gone.

do you also want serial killers to get a second chance?

 

was Ted Bundy just misunderstood?

This is a pretty pathetic attempt at trolling.

Send troops and honestly, get rid of them all.  

I bolded where you advocated for getting rid of all the Palestinians. I know you'll now try to claim you meant only Hamas, but you were responding to posts about US troops and civilians.

Thank you for agreeing that it is quite the stance. I agree… I just want Hamas wiped out… You should as well.

 

it’s kind of sad that you don’t want that actually.

And even if you did mean "only" Hamas, how do you go about doing that as they are both a militant and political organization? Just kill all the Palestinians with any ties to Hamas? You're literally advocating for a final solution, which I most definitely oppose and am saddened that you don't.

I know we have this weird "But but but they have it so hard" f#&% them...kill those f#&%s, hamASS dorks 

Advocating for genocide is quite the stance, especially with your previous posts ridiculing the "pro-pally" crowd for suggesting that the Palestinians are being wiped out in a genocide.

Wat?

The Patriot system is decades old now. Hardly irreplaceable.

The statement the Special Counsel gave a statement that implied just as much.  He tweeter said “basically said”. He didn’t tweet “did say”.  The implication is pretty obvious if you read what the Special Counsel wrote of the guy who couldn’t remember when he was VP

Point to the evidence or admit it's just someone making things up.

Our students all take 8 classes plus a study hall at the end of the day. Our seniors usually take 4 classes and then have the afternoons to do college classes, an internship, or work. 

So students are taking 9 periods plus lunch at your school for 3 years and then only half a day the last year?

Can you point to where the DOJ said Biden couldn't be charged because he was incompetent?

8 minutes ago, Mavric said:

Yeah, 7-8 periods is probably more precise. Although lunch isn’t a period. 

I think lunch was just a regular period at my high school, but I might be remembering wrong.

Maybe the predictors suck at it, which has little to nothing to do with the actual numbers.

7-8 is pretty standard. But they aren’t always all required to graduate. So he may have rearranged so he can get all his requirements done a semester early. 

Are 7-8 classes standard or 7-8 periods? It's been a long time but I remember taking 5-6 classes at a time with the other periods being study halls or lunch.

The reality is that most Americans support some policies on both sides if moderated in the middle.  Problem is both parties are pulling us apart and trying to pull everything to their extreme.  Compromise and moderation is what we need.  That isn't happening any time soon with the people in charge.

 

Edit:  I should add Fear mongering has added to the issue as well.

The reality is also that the "middle" is not between the two parties. The two party system in America has absolutely crippled our ability to have real discussions about policies and positions. The Overton window is a real thing.

You're 100% correct. Most of us are a mix of conservative and liberal. Almost nobody is so polarized they can't find something from both sides of the political spectrum to agree with. 

 

We've just had such garbage candidates at all levels for so long that politics itself is polarized. The electorate doesn't want that. But we only have so many choices on the ballot. 

I mean, the electorate keeps voting in these candidates. I'd love for there to be ranked choice voting or an equivalent, but I'm not certain we'd get any better candidates in the end.

Costs about $7 to "fill up" my EV.

Ranked choice voting

It's amazing how math-challenged the decision makers are. Even proposing 14 instead of 16 is hilariously dumb.

They should just get rid of signing day.

It's kinda funny how the economy thread has turned into gambling on stocks. Feels symbolic of post-capitalism.

Projection to go with the copium.

The copium is amazing

I don't get at all how it makes the regular season any less meaningful.  It is basically the same it's always been, you need to have a really good regular season to get to your goals.  If by "you must go undefeated in order to have a meaningful regular season", then I have never agreed with that argument and never will.

If a team can lose regular season games and still win the championship, then by definition it makes the regular season less meaningful than if they could not. You might like it better, but the regular season is still less meaningful. And being able to lose multiple games means the regular season is even less meaningful than if a team could only lose 1 game, etc.

100% agree.  And I love 12 because it keeps some meaningfulness to the regular season for teams you know are going to make it.  Makes winning your conference a big deal.

 

If you get to 16, may as well do away with conference championship games.  Teams playing in those would almost be at a disadvantage as it would be an extra game of wear and tear on the players.

8+ team playoffs end a lot of the meaningfulness of the regular season. All that 12 teams does is give a biased committee a chance to "reward" 4 teams. At least powers of 2 mean every team plays the same number of playoff games.

Because they want to reward top seeds with a bye, you can't do that with 8 or 16

Rewarding "top" seeds is the mistake.

8 really was the perfect number.

Yep. But if you're going bigger than 8, you'd obviously go to 16.
