Only 17 players were invited to the draft this year... Jalen Milroe was one of them. There's speculation some team out there is strongly interested in Milroe. I've heard Steelers or possibly Rams... ? Whoever it is, it sounds like he might go higher than most anticipate.

Check-in thread if you've been "ignored" by the Coont
GobbleDog replied to DonS's topic in The Geek Club
Don't mind when posters disagree, as long as they intelligently discuss topics. I never blocked anyone for the first 20 years, but in recent years I grew tired of childish/moronic posts from the same certain posters. Currently up to 5. Won't mention names. -
Like all good Southerners I was raised a God-fear'n-Presbateer'n, though I'm not religious nowadays. Still appreciate Wee condemning all you heathens to hell. Happy bunny rabbits.

Five people are dead and four others are injured during and “active shooter’ event at FSU.
GobbleDog replied to Maximum Overkill's topic in The Geek Club
Of course. Happens in Europe occasionally despite strict gun restriction laws. But their odds of being gun violence victims are tremendously lower than Americans. -
Sports and NPR. Switch to "pop radio" when daughter gets in. Podcasts on long trips.

It's sad when people opposed to guns get shot. They're completely innocent. It's also sad when people who support gun rights get shot, but there's a whole lot of irony mixed in. "Yay guns! Ah crap." yep -
Trump defies the courts, Sends migrants to El Sal Prison
GobbleDog replied to Ron_Artest's topic in The Geek Club
Upholding the law makes them "activists" ? Or only when it involves Trump? -
Golf once a year with buds. My all-time World Record... 122. Would be worse without the double-par rule. I look like a golfer - clean cut middle-aged white guy, but I stink. I've watched Youtube vids, drank alcohol... nothing helps. I think part of the problem is I don't cheat - it goes 1 inch, I count it. If only the hole size was increased to about a 10 gallon bucket, I might break 100.

My goal and purpose is to help raise the vibration of Earth
GobbleDog replied to Frozenbeernuts's topic in The Geek Club
I can respect that argument, but only if it includes EVERY conscious being in the universe, from bacteria to worms to people. Heck, there's debate whether plants have a differentiated form of consciousness as some intersect with the environment and other plants in various ways. Once you include every life form in the discussion as having equal status, it makes the human consciousness seem rather meaningless. And if they aren't included, then it sounds like a throw back to old style religion - God made Man, and Universe revolves around Earth type stuff. -

GobbleDog replied to Frozenbeernuts's topic in The Geek Club
This is where religions lose me. Consciousness/soul (after you die and lack consciousness) seems to be an emphasis in the religious world. Understandable people are drawn to that - nobody wants to not exist, even after death. They didn't have a problem with it before they were born, but I digress. That rationale seems too specific. What makes me... me? Cut off my arms, legs, heck remove everything but my brain and keep it alive with tubes. But the brain is comprised of trillions of atoms and requires oxygen and nutrition molecules to stay alive, all of which came from the universe. When my corpse rots or is cremated... those atoms will continue to interact with the universe for all eternity - just as they did before I was born. This line of thinking leads me to consider the universe as one being. I don't put much stock in consciousness, hell even insects have consciousness. Regardless, I appreciate the philosophical discussion. -

Seems more reasonable than supernatural (and contradictory) stories found in other religions. Buddhism and Hindu are branches of the same tree, though I don't know the differences or history. Hate to admit I'm not actually into Buddhism - sounds like you know way more than me. Someone once pointed out to me that my beliefs just happen to align. I also share their idea of desire being the root of suffering - I understand the logic. Buddhism gets a little weird (to me) about reincarnation theories being reborn into various realms of existence depending on karma. I can go along with reincarnation of the next being to gain conciseness. Once your conciseness ceases to exist, who's to say it isn't you. Beyond that, they lose me. -
Laughing at Blue Origin All female Crew
GobbleDog replied to Engorgeous George's topic in The Geek Club
Sounds similar to The Titan submersible which imploded near the Titanic in '23. Apparently a legal loophole allowed the sub to carry "crew", as carrying tourists/passengers would entail much stricter sub testing. Maybe this stunt played the same legal game. -

GobbleDog replied to Frozenbeernuts's topic in The Geek Club
A Geek thread without political arguments - refreshing. My beliefs apparently align with Buddhism seeing the universe as one being with everything in it eternally connected. Seems logical with no faith or supernatural required. Most religions focus on individual conciseness... too myopic IMO. -

Nothing racist about wanting your race and culture preserved. All races feel the same. -
another plan to assassinate President Donald Trump (and possibly VP Vance too) - arrest made
GobbleDog replied to Gepetto's topic in The Geek Club
Lee Harvey Oswald was barely 24 when he died. Joined marines, defected to Russia, moved back, got married, dabbled in Cuban politics, assassinated President... Over-achiever -
Which side do you blame and what's the reasoning? Putin said he invaded Ukraine in order to "denazify" the country. You going with that?
-
News conference earlier today at the White House: Journalist - "Will you agree to Zelensky's offer to purchase Patriot missiles?" Trump - "I don't know - he's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war you gotta know you can win. You don't start a war against somebody twenty times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles." Ukraine invaded Russia.?. Still touting Russian propaganda... unbelievable.

Not only promised to end it in 24 hours over and over again, he occasionally said "MARK MY WORDS" before boldly claiming it. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when he said.. "I was being sarcastic." Mark my words was sarcasm? Why not reply "unfortunately it didn't happen" or "I misspoke" and just admit a mistake.?. Instead Trump went with another lie on top of the first lie.

Death Pool Update: Former LSU WR Kyren Lacy at 24...

No drugs/alcohol discovered, because he left the scene. Which suggests drugs/alcohol were involved. -
Death Pool Update: Former LSU WR Kyren Lacy at 24...
GobbleDog replied to posty's topic in The Geek Club
Yeah, don't be cool with that. It wasn't Kenny's fault for reckless driving which killed someone and fled to avoid DUI manslaughter charges, then later led cops on a high speed pursuit after firing a gun in anger. It was all mental health. Also, don't take parenting advice from Kyren Lacy. God didn't need your baby... poetic justice did. -
LIBERATION DAY: USA and China agree to a 90 day pause on most new tariffs
GobbleDog replied to The Real timschochet's topic in The Geek Club
Don't think he realized the markets would react so severely, so he pumped the brakes. The 10% tariffs are still terrible for the economy along with the 25% on autos .... however, I will say I don't mind as much the tariff war with China. They break trade agreements, manipulate currency, and blatantly steal intellectual property. They've never played on a level playing field. The entire world should've stopped trading with them decades ago. -
LIBERATION DAY: USA and China agree to a 90 day pause on most new tariffs
GobbleDog replied to The Real timschochet's topic in The Geek Club
What would FoxNews nuts be saying if Biden had slapped insane tariffs on every country and caused the stock market to crash? Would they applaud those policies because they think it's the right thing to do? No way in hell, they'd be furious and attacking Biden - so would I. But when Trump does the same thing... "it's wonderful." Goes to show their opinions aren't actually THEIR opinions. -
How do ya know they were all paid? Got any evidence or is that just a knee-jerk response ya learned from Foxnews? Sorta like "fake news" whenever there's news that doesn't flatter Trump.?. I would've gladly joined their protest, and I fully support them... yet I wasn't paid - by the lefties or anyone else. Here's something ya need to learn as ya grow up kid, not everyone lives in this "us vs them" world like you've been trained. Some just want whatever works best, regardless of party affiliation. And many think Trump's policies are dog-sh*t.

The "Nazi" reference wasn't about mistreatment of Jews. They use it to describe a leader who acts like dictator. Odd you didn't understand that, because only a complete moron wouldn't.
