How did that work when there were 14 teams? I never really paid attention since we don’t go by single W/L for the week.

How so?

i'm sure it made an amazing ROI, and I suppose if I had to guess I would have assumed it was a higher budget film for the time... but I stand by my claim that the sfx are garbage and some of the camera work seems piss poor for such a high profile film. I have not rewatched and am not even sure if I ever saw the next two. Perhaps i'll give them a shot.

it's definitely true. Trump has one strategy and it works but not well enough. If it did, he wouldn't have lost in 2020. Even if you actually believe the election was stolen, it shouldn't have been close enough to steal if he is really a strong candidate. If the Dems held a primary and got any candidate better than Kamala, and then paired that candidate with a new version of Kamala as VP, they win 2024. jmho of course but I think we've seen enough in the past 10-12 years to know it.

I watched the first movie for the first time in 20 years maybe 2 weeks ago. I forgot how bad it was. It's an early 2000's movie that looks like a bad sci fi movie from the 80s or early 90s. Between the atrocious special effects and the horrible camera work (scenes like cutting back and forth between the heroes and the orcs running after them which felt like some high schoolers were filming it for class) ... was it low budget at the time? I was never really into it, a girlfriend made me watch it back then. I like the Ring of Power show and obviously was not expecting 2025 level stuff but I also don't remember movies from the early 2000's being that bad in the effects department.

He is correct. In most leagues Hampton was going in the 3rd... but also it was not uncommon for Hall to fall to the 4th, so it's not some outlandish set of players you drafted. Puka and Collins were most often selected late 1st/early 2nd... if you had pick 10, for example, you could easily land Puka, Collins, Hampton, Hall by pick 4.3 or just as realistically Collins, Puka,Hall, Hampton depending on your leagues drafting tendencies. Either way, this team rode it's WRs since even on a points per game basis, Hall and Hampton are barely RB2s. 2 top 6 (and 3 top 12) receivers in points per game, who both stayed healthy is always going to be a recipe for success. Dobbins went down at an opportune time for your Harvey ownership as well. well done

they played it perfectly in 2020 ... evoke memories of Almighty Obama, but realize that if your playbook consists of pointing fingers at a "racist old white man", another racist old white man needs something to appeal to all of their cherished minority voters... so soften him with a youngish, woman of color.

Maybe, I just think it's funny how badly they flubbed the process. I also think it's funny how much liberals cry about threats to democracy and dictatorships while their party was skipping a major part of our democratic process, and they were so eager to vote for a dictated candidate.

Projected 30ish point underdog.... lets do this!

Would Newsome currently be president had democrats acknowledged Biden's mental state sooner and/or held a primary? I highly doubt Kamala would have been running had there been a primary.

What are these primaries you speak of?

also, I'm just going off memory and I recall you starting a lot of threads that were thinly veiled attempts at baiting people into a racial discussion. Looking back at your more recent topics... i don't have the time to look further, it seems you may have switched to politics and baiting conservatives. (or saying you were leaving ). Don't get me wrong, racism exists, it's an issue, it will always exist in some form (not just white and black) and i'm not suggesting we shouldn't ever discuss it or that you don't have the right to post whatever you want to post. I just sometimes feel that people let certain issues control their lives. It's very evident with a few that post here in regards to politics. At some point, when you focus so much on something, I think it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. So if you constantly think you see racism around every corner, behind every decision, etc... I am curious if it's controlling your life to an extent or hindering your ability to just live happily and freely.

Poor kids are just as bright and talented as White kids Pretending past presidents were perfectly inclusive with no hints of racism or hateful sounding talk is, like a lot of things i've read in this thread, only something you want to believe because you think the left is nothing but virtuous. Which is laughable. The difference is, someone like Biden as a career politician, was a little more polished and better at hiding things.. I'd never claim Trump to be a polished politician... not even remotely. I'm not even a fan of him as a person, so I may not be your target audience.

Both sides do it. Acting like they don’t is ridiculous.

Correct like I said you were not talking about race in what I quoted, it just reminded me of all the racial tension you have built up inside you. I meant to ask you in a different thread where you were directly talking about race. Sorry if it confused you.

Wasn’t talking to you. Btw, If you don’t vote for me you aint black.

I was speaking to you generally. It wasn’t in direct response to your comment… well other than you were talking about never seeing more hate in your life… which sort of reminded me of all the race baiting you do around here

I’ve actually wondered a few times that if you didn’t spend so much of your time looking for racism around every corner, do you think you’d be better off / further in life? im not saying racism doesn’t exist and im not saying we should all turn a blind eye toward it, obviously, just saying it seems to consume you and I wonder if you just lived your life without the constant thought of it (which yes, you can do)… would you be a happier person?

Wow. That’s just a bonkers statement by mdc. I missed that one. saying the world is a better place with someone not in it is crazy when that person did nothing to deserve a violent act against them. There’s nothing wrong with being opinionated. A wife losing a husband, kids losing a parent… none of that is offset because he now can’t say things you disagree with

I am not saying anyone is "out to get whitey" . I am saying their was an agenda. There are plenty of ways to make sure candidates are not being rejected based on race without sitting down with a hiring manager ONLY after they hire a white person, and never when they hire a person of color. The notion that DEI didn't create quotas for optics is laughable. Quotas exist in many forms all over organizations and they are often based on the implementation of new practices and policies. I am likely not even someone who absolutely hates DEI the way some others around here do but the comment from dogcow that it's all DEI lies made up by racist right wing white people is wild.

i've never been questioned, after the fact, if a hire didn't work out (no more than during a typical exit interview process)... but it was very evident when a shift was happening because, as I said, HR would want to sit down with you pretty much only if you hired a white male (sometimes even a white female) and others were up for the job. This would happen almost immediately, well before any onboarding even took place. Didn't bother me because I would just repeat that I hired the most qualified candidate for the position. You could tell that HR was just doing what it was told to do. but again I know people who dealt with similar at much higher profile companies

all of that has eased up as companies are feeling less pressured on the diversity issue. Also, as I mentioned, my experience was not unique.

largely a myth once peanuts make it to consumers in 1st world countries

While you have proven yourself to be quite the nut job over the last several years, I do agree with you on this. However, I am not sure how pig a part of Newsome's platform this would be... and I am 100% sure that liberals will claim it to be "a very small, not worth worrying about" part of his platform. But yes, trans, non binary, they them, etc are all things that became trendy for teens and preteens. And, as we all know, the left has become the party of obscure, marginalized groups. If they don't have enough to shout about, they will create them.
