  1. Especially because we were wearing black. UCLA had like a 3rd and 17 or something before halftime. We got great pressure and should have had a sack, but Brett Hunley escaped and got a first down en route to a score before half. I predicted in that moment we were about to fold and lose that game.

  3. Would all those potential babies be living if people used condoms, which prevents pregnancies. Amazing.
  4. I didn't realize which thread this was that I was contributing political discussion in. Keep it in P&R.
  5. Good for him. The media's role in that whole thing is an incredibly ugly and disgraceful black eye.
  6. Pretty much what I meant in regards to the most important thing about a President being the mood/tone/attitude they set. Trump's an exceptionally divisive, arrogant, out of touch with reality present, and now look at the state of the citizens and how pissy and combative and ignorant they've all become. And brazenly and boldly.
  7. I meant more specifically the Presidency isn't that important as far as affecting your day to day life in any meaningful way. Obviously there are exceptions to this (especially for people on the margins) and I don't mean it absolutely, but most of us continue on relatively the same way throughout presidencies.
  8. No one can say in good faith that Trump has done zero good things. It would be virtually impossible for a President to not do a single independent good thing in a vacuum. But your desires towards being together/mended/cooperative speak towards the biggest single failure and worst result of Trump's presidency. The President isn't really that important for anything (imo) except for one thing; setting the tone and mood. Trump set a mood of hostility, bullying, petulent childish tantrums, and framing everything as us vs them. He's the least "togetherness" minded President in history. Everyone except his base is an enemy, and his political party and constituents have risen (or rather sunk) to the bar that he's modeled.
  9. One thing that has happened is that society has realized that sometimes being mentally tough actually just means being mentally unhealthy. Often the least healthy and most healthy responses to trauma and struggle look the same from the outside.
  10. Yes. Not only do they get a 'cost of living' stipend (a few thousand dollars), but they get other money in a lot of other ways as well. Their scholarship includes room & board. At UNL room & board is $11,430. However if they live off campus, then they get a check cut for the total amount of room & board. Players usually live in houses together so say they live in Lincoln year round for $500 rent/utilities, that's $6,000. That means the player has $5,430 left over that's just theirs. There's also the Student Assistance Fund, which provides players money for things they need but aren't covered under a scholarship - flights home, child care costs, summer school, graduate test fees, etc. And they get several hundred dollars to purchase non-athletic clothing such as suits. None of that goes into the non-monetary value of professional world class strength and conditioning, nutrition, tutoring, life skill training, physical therapy, opportunity to travel, bowl game gifts, clothing, publicity, and so on. Oh, and now players are allowed to get paid actual money for their own likeness as well.
  11. Is this you saying that you've changed your mind about Trump as a former supporter?
  12. Option A still includes Option B inside it, as well as hundreds of people traveling and using planes/buses/hotels/restaurant made food and interacting with all sorts of people across different states.
  13. This does not take into account the added risk of hundreds of people traveling to several other states, staying in hotels, getting in busses and airplanes, interacting with hundreds more outside of their own quasi bubble. Or our education system. Or our healthcare. Or our gun violence. Or our median standard of living. Or the corruption and opaque nature of our political system. But the military and the economy tho
  14. "You can't compare the United States to other countries..." For some reason I only see people use this as an argument and defense when we suck at something? We suck a$$ at dealing with a pandemic, YEAH BUT IT' SD IFFERENT HERE. We suck at letting a s#!t ton of people get mowed down by mass shooters YEAH BECUZ AMERICA IS FREE ITS NOT LIKE EUROPE. Suck tremendously at healthcare YEA WELL THATS BCUZ WERE NOT SOCIALISTS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Weird that I never see people warning against comparison when we're supposedly good at something, it's only a contortionist twist to not have to admit that we're garbage.
  15. Hey way to drastically switch tactics and garbage points to focus on after several people embarrassed your last one. What's the next one, assumed risk of driving kills people? Bill Gates is responsible? There's more abortions than covid deaths? I'm ready, you just keep lobbing them up.
  16. Honest question I don't know the answer to, and also realize is far from a perfect analogy... Should Baker Mayfield not have been allowed to play in the Rose Bowl when he had the flu?
  17. These were the numbers in May: 0-17 - .06% of deaths (9 total, 6 confirmed with underlying conditions) 18-44 - 3.9% of deaths (601 total, 476 confirrmed with underlying conditions) 45-64 - 22.4% of deaths (3,413 total, 2,851 confirrmed with underlying conditions) 65-74 - 24.9% of deaths (3,788 total, 2,801 confirrmed with underlying conditions) 75+ - 48.7% of deaths (7,419 total, 5236 confirrmed with underlying conditions) This was through June 17
  18. Healthy children can spread covid, but thus far are not significant drivers of spread. https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2020/07/08/peds.2020-004879
  19. The CDC has nationwide and statewide estimates for number of total beds, ICU beds, etc., occupied: https://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/covid19/report-patient-impact.html Texas, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Arizona and Nevada all have over 70% of ICU beds filled currently.
  20. She is just as cool and down to earth as you would actually believe based on her acting. I would be smoking cigarettes in the alley with some of the grips/PAs when she would be coming in and out of set and had a handful of fun playful interactions with her. Was very accomodating and patient on set and doing media as well. Michael Shannon is about as strange as you would imagine and maybe caught him on a bad day but outside of when camera rolled he didn't seem to enjoy anyone or anything. Except I bummed him three cigarettes, those seemed to make him semi-happy One even made it in the movie.
  21. Nope! I was on set with Hillary Swank and Michael Shannon doing EPK press interviews for the film What They Had.
