  1. (mod edit---see title---rule 18 violation---personal anecdotes about 'my world and covid' are digressions inviting more such and are not on topic...if you've missed all the warnings to keep the focus narrow, plus what's in the title, too bad)
  2. The cliffs notes version of her case sounds very similar to the cliffs notes/Twitter version of Cyntoia Browns story (which is a bit different from the actual story) .
  3. Shoulder to the head has been a foul all year as far as I know.
  4. Is the violence in Milwaukee a gun control issue? I'm under the impression the perpetrators are obtaining guns illegally but maybe not. I'm not that familiar with the situation.
  5. Jumbo is screwing with me in the Stadium now. So I guess this is it for me. Good Luck . They really need to get rid of Jumbo as a moderator.

      i'm not surprised to see this here :)  and i will respond here since board moderation and a specific mod has been made an item (another rule violation, not that it will matter), though i will likely come back later and edit this post as an appropriate courtesy to grego
       
      this post will be duplicated in your (noinney) user notes
       
      nonniey--you have zero valid case for complaints per moderation and your struggles with such is well past ok now...you have simply been held accountable for properly documented rule violations and it's worth adding that you have also had your share of breaks and moderator assistance over the years, inc from me in case you forget
       
      all applied rule violations are documented and all mods and admin receive notification of such actions and they are always open to review or comment in our mod/admin discussions
       
      scrutiny is routine
       
      if you---or anyone :) --don't like the end product here, we can easily accept that, but you are still expected to follow rules and guidelines (which includes mod directives) if your goal is to remain even with your disapproving takes on board management
       
      obviously a number of, to you, problematic es-centric issues are dominant in your thoughts as expressed in your content...this runs the gamut from the tailgate sociopolitical conversations as you see them, to the team's name change and other off-field issues the last year, and even to the noble-oppressed-crusader-type thinking shown in your "about me" comments on your profile page...it seems you even changed your date of birth to 1892 to "carry a message" (internet crusader style)
       
      this type of  'inner noise' aligns with many other comments you've made in those arenas and likely contributes to your issues with adhering to our rules and guidelines, in more recent times especially...bottom line, we accept this is not the place for you and we're ok with that 
       
       
  6. i'm not sure that's true. this story was broken by glenn greenwald and the intercept. then katie halpern did her interview. rich mchugh and ryan grim were among the first to pursue it. it looks like republicans just jumped on board once the ball got rolling. its dems/biden vs progressives/Bernie backers and republicans on this issue.
  7. I noticed that too. I don't know how far back they were filming, but it seemed like quite a long time. there was also footage which looked like cell phone footage, from times like when he the dude (cant recall who it was) and realized he no longer owned his tv show. a week before the fire. I finished the show last night and I really liked it. I wonder, when it comes to these pseudo documentary type shows, if we are getting the whole story. these shows are made to elicit an emotional response to keep you engaged. when making a murderer was on, there was outrage- some of it justified, no doubt, but much of it not. purposely leaving out exculpatory evidence makes it seem like there was this huge injustice. same with 'when they see us'. you will be convinced of someones guilt or innocence based on a completely manufactured, selective, one sided view of events. its essentially rage bait. when it came out that Michael Moore staged the scene in bowling for columbine where he comes out of the bank with the rifle, I felt like I was being manipulated and lied to (because I was). that drives me nuts. I don't mind being told a story, but i'd like to know all of the facts. in Moores case, hell, in steven averys case and the central park 5 case, there are legitimate discussions that can be had. but its counter productive to twist facts and obfuscate the truth.
  8. that's funny. that's what my sis in laws boyfriend told me too. I don't know why, i'm into it. I was late listening to 'serial', which had a structure where it introduced and built up characters, then, at the end of every episode, introduced a bit of a plot twist you don't see coming. I like the plot twists, I like trainwrecks, and i'm a people watcher, especially potential psychopathic extreme narcissists, and this show might have three of them. everybodys nuts. I love it.
  9. I honestly don't remember having an issue with any mod, or saying something that would have been remotely ban worthy, so i'm surprised to hear that. I really worry about the division and polarization in society today and, as a result, I've tried to make it a point to not contribute to it by being snarky, insulting or dismissive, but, rather, to try to understand where people are coming from. I've been rather unsuccessful in that endeavor, unfortunately, which has resulted in me reading and not posting so much. to hear that I was on the ban list is a but surprising given my propensity for self flagellation for being a jackass. sorry to hear about your mom. I can relate- my mom has early onset dementia that's been getting progressively worse for years. (I don't believe that prager and carlin are birds of a feather)
  10. I think you hit on something. i'm looking at the claim on it's face (is it true, or is it false), not how it was made (thoughtfully or not), his political stances, or why he thinks the status quo surrounding the taboo on the word is as it is. (I agree that these other claims regarding blame are clearly up for debate).
  11. there is a certain amount of license given to comedians, no doubt (I think there should be). I have no idea if prager is a racist, but i'm positive that presumption is coloring the view of the audience. in that clip, I hear him and carlin making the same point- the intent matters. I believe this is his point, because he says as much. he says it's despicable to call someone the word, which is different from using it to say "X called someone ….the n-word".
  12. i'm seeing his words completely differently. this appears to me as another example of two movies on one screen. what i'm seeing people say that he's saying is not what I see him saying. i'm not seeing him complaining that he can't use the word to call people the word, I see him saying that you can't say the word if you were, for example, quoting somebody- you have to stop and say 'n-word'. george carlin says it better <mod edit video>
