I agree. but it’s part of a war zone. And it happens. It also happens to journalist. im not holding my breath anyone will be held accountable for breaking the rules. 🤷‍♂️

As for them leaving - I don’t think Israel cares if they all leave. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out they intentionally targeted them to scare them all out, knowing they can say “oops my bad” and get away with it (because they will, intentional or not) as for Sisko - good representation of some of the nonsense in our general electorate that creates the mess we have. Single issue voters that can never see a bigger picture need. go ahead and vote for Trump bud. It may come as a surprise to you - but it’s not shocking at all you made that post. And I don’t expect anyone to waste any effort changing your mind 😂

But that’s exactly what it is and will be. This happens. We’ve attacked our own troops before. Hanging out in a war zone isn’t to be taken lightly, and this is why. They signed up to be in a war zone. They understand the risks. Just like everyone else, who decides to not be an aid worker in a war zone. Same with journalists. doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck. It does suck. But it’s a risk you accept when you pack your **** and head into a war zone.

I guess it “get it” in the sense someone claims it looks like that and I can kinda see it i would have never thought that on my own looking at them … I think maybe people are too sensitive or too investing in finding a big deal in everything they see 🤷‍♂️

there was a day before which women’s basketball was awful to watch. Im enjoying it now. They’re very technically sound. It’s not like the nba, or even college. Crisp passing, solid shot selection, it’s enjoyable to watch. idk how the wnba is but I’m thoroughly enjoying this seasons tournament. If I were to decide to show my team (youngin’s) footage on what basketball looks like when played properly, I’d probably choose stuff from this years women’s tournament…

the silver lining is this purged competent people and replaces them with looney toons characters. so it’ll be obnoxious but I imagine they’ll be totally clueless and unable to navigate the legal system correctly to actually do anything.

I grew up around people that ran search warrants. generally they like to run the between 3-5 am. Generally speaking the people who reach the level of being raided in the early morning hours are dangerous and/or nuts. They want to show up when you’re the most likely to be sound asleep. Generally they can be in your bedroom and have you under control before you even really understand what’s going on. It’s by design. it works pretty well. Yes things happen sometimes but in the grand scheme of things majority go off without a hitch. That’s why they do it. they’re protecting themselves.

Pro tip: when the United States evacuates all its peoples, that is a sign you should not go there

Yeah cause when I reflect on society and drugs, one thing I find peace with is how difficult it is for children to get weed 🙄

Because it’s not real. At some point you realize the Easter bunny and Santa aren’t real. all he did was adopt a cult. I guess they got tired of worshiping someone from thousands of years ago, and a magical being in the sky, and decided someone alive would be a cool change of pace The cult has found a new leader.

Somewhere in a room people are pondering how to raise money and someone suggest selling a bible and someone else suggest having an insert in the Bible’s that is the constitution and yet another points out you can’t leave out the pledge of allegiance And at some point they decide this is a good idea. Maybe they thought it was a good idea from the start, but it feels more like a dragged out joke turned into an idea

@PleaseBlitz. @Renegade7 to your points - isn’t his rise to fame basically that he was a big time donor they decided should run for governor as a stepping stone to running for president? ie: he didn’t climb the political ranks learning how to be a politician I feel like in that light, it makes total sense this happened the way it did 😂

Just to be clear I’m not trying to say they are similar people, or the problems were similar. I certainly have no reason to believe he’s a “bad guy” all I’m saying is he skated by without much scrutiny because Snyder was the giant piniata in the room. now that Snyder is gone, the bar is no longer loathsome piece of **** everyone hates. Just being a bad owner and not producing better than mediocrity is not good enough. And totally flubbing a stadium deal the way he did, tracks along just great with the rest of it. edit: I don’t think the people that frequent this thread want to watch, much less participate in, this kind of discussion. Sorry, I’ll leave it at that.

The worst thing that happened to Leonsis is Snyder selling the team. been saying it for a while. That will ultimately be the story. He flew under the radar cause he drafted Ovechkin and Snyder owned the football team. at some point people will also come around to the fact that he had only one legit run for a cup with Ovi. I don’t care how many you win, ****s hard and puck luck, but ultimately they only had one legit run (and they won that year.) That’s unacceptable.

And they work tirelessly so they can donate money to their true savior

@PleaseBlitz ‘s post is exactly how I feel. outside of me being a much more casual fan of the team than him. if a team wanted to buy some land and build something, maybe the tax payer cost is infrastructure rework, I’m OK with that. But screw paying for the stadium/land. The money these owners try to make by then building entire markets around their arena, much is only a possibility because they ultimately are doing it on the back of taxpayers by funding the stadium, is total nonsense.

There are a number of 😂 things about it but yes that’s absolutely one of them

This is exactly what I was referring to the other day… too early to jump to conclusions but it will be interesting if it turns out they had problems and headed to the. Ridge anyways…

@mistertim did you know a neural net is much cooler/better than c++ code? 😂

lol. This cracks me up. where’s @mistertim look at this and tell me you don’t at least chuckle

But can’t the board, with its power, change that deal now? the boards power was stripped before they got control. It’s not like they made a bunch of changes and then Disney did this i feel like I’m just missing a very important piece of this. Idk I actually don’t really care about the Florida Disney thing, and didn’t follow it closely, so maybe I just totally misunderstand how everything unfolded.

The state got what it wants and Disney has to unwind everything they did.

i don’t know. I’m totally confused. going back to that plan, and restoring power, is the way things were before Disney did what they did to neuter the power of the board. how that’s a win for Disney or Desantis walking anything back is beyond me.

Well the original comment was that Desantis was walking something back. If the article is correct - Disney gave up all their arguments and I’m not seeing where the state-controlled board gave up anything. They sued because of disneys maneuvering to try to shift power from the board to the company. They got all that reversed. Where’s the details on how Desantis has walked anything back, or Disney won anything here? I understand that Disney might prefer the plans as agreed to before the board shift but that wasn’t on the table. What was on the table was whether Disney would be allowed to continue after shifting power away from the board, or whether the power would be restored to the board. The power has been restored.

I agree peoples expectations are out of whack. I watch people buy a brand new iPhone pro max, then complain about financial struggles. one place I very much disagree with the liberals on is the notion of what is and isn’t fair when it comes to expectations about what you have in life. but in the context of the thread/subject of the discussion, generally it seems people vote how they feel. If they feel things are OK or better, they tend to vote to keep what we have. If they feel it’s worse than OK, they tend to vote for change. To me we have the republicans pushing negative outlooks and highlighting bad things, we have the Biden team that seems disconnected as we’ve discussed wondering why they can’t run victory laps, and we have a public that’s not very good at details or separating causality. All of this adds up to a bad situation for the Biden team. I still would prefer to think that as they unleash their war chest, and we get closer and Trump maybe gets in more trouble but at least is still in the news for numerous crimes, abortion… that the general public will reject Trump. I just have zero confidence, because on top of everything else it just never seems the traditional rules (of anything) apply to Trump…
