    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    This shit right here seems like a thinly veiled threat to me, but whatever. Suineg is going to Suineg. Couple points here, first pro Keg: 1) The evidence here is basically that Suineg says he joked with Olescratch about it but had no direct involvement. How many fucking times have people...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    No, its about the time of the year where the Vikings start looking competent so whatever shitty coach they have keeps his job another year. If Favre had not literally been killed on the college field in that icey game a few years back that ended his career, Childress would probably still...

    AssHat of the year 2020

    Caepan is a contender, but come on, no one has the volume of work that Xeq and Teekey do all year. They have Trump like energy when it comes to their asshatery.

    Yes. He is that bad. So bad that Flacco looked fucking 3lite again in comparison.

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    What proof of this is there beyond Suineg saying it happened?

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    Another point I would make here is there is a ton of stupid awful shit Suineg has done over the years that could have easily cost him job and he even bragged about some of it on this board and rationalized a lot of the rest of it. Fact is, both he and Keg are shitty human beings, but OleScratch...

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    Not defending Keg, but he is a troll and we are a lot less forgiving in the days where Tyen had a revolving door. I am guessing he is indirectly involved and likely felt he would be insta-banned. He is the kind of douchebag who cannot even comprehend the concept of a mea culpa. To be fair, I...

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    Well maybe the powers that be around her review that and decide how much they trust anything put up buy Suineg.

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    This is somewhat victim blaming. But its not Suineg has not been outed as a liar among a lot of other heinous shit over the years. He has a chance at being a hero when he stepped in and rescued the community and everyone gave him a clean slate. Then he went right back to being a piece of shit...

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    He did pal up with Ol'Scratch at a time when Suineg had recently rescued the site. The issue is Suineg has since reverted to type. Do we have any concrete proof keg had a hand in the doxxing? Keg is first and foremost a troll and trolls thrive on reasonable doubt and preying on good nature in...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    Actually he is talking about the general overuse of anitbiotics causing immune systems to be compromised on a large scale and the antibiotics themselves losing their benefit. This is actually a thing in modern medicine.

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    I admire your optimistic view of humanity, though I disagree with it in some ways. But I wanted to address this paragraph in particular. The pace of innovation has been essentially exponential since the use of electricity became widespread and the industrial revolution. We went from steam...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    Some humans will survive. A major issue is our economic construct is based on the unsustainable model of endless growth. So either we make it off this rock and consume more worlds, or we kill a lot of us off. Honestly, eugenics and population control are the best method, objectively. But...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    Couple things: People do indeed not even begin to grasp how massive space is. Radio signals take a half hour just to get to Mars and that's when its closer to us. We have gotten really good at looking for specific things that might signify advanced life at amazing distances, but its still...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    Ignoring the technological limitations, the idea of uploading our minds into hardware in any scenario is pretty much the same as ending the human race. We would not be human anymore in any practical sense. Thats also not considering how much of our mental state is driven by chemical activity...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    Communalism exists in many animals, not just us. It requires a common goal for all the group members to work together towards, each according to their abilities. At the simplest level, this can be the basic instinct of raising young or defending against a common enemy/predator. At its most...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    I agree with your general sentiment, but I think you are reading me saying incorporate things into your worldview as somehow replacing. Ideally, you want existing beliefs revised and updated as new reliable repeatable data becomes available. In other words, the scientific method applied to the...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    Well sure, but now you are adding more complexity and we are back to Titan_Atlas's original post point and have a system becoming ever more vulnerable to selfish bias and corruption. The whole thing is a giant mess, like quicksand really, where most of the seemingly sensible solutions get you...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    Maybe, but other avenues run the risk of having emotion creep in. That invites a solution where someone gets to play god and the person who gets that privilege is likely a strong personality and not an objective thinker. Of course our "academics" are largely completely corrupted with the...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    You are right, but if there is not a solution people can come up with what are the alternatives? Simply grasping this shit makes you nihilistic and cynical, because its all so pervasively ingrained into the human mind that there is literally no solution where you are left with humans after...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    I have found most of the latter of your post anecdotally true, for sure. Part of it is echo chambers. As a young white kid growing up in rural whitey Wisconsin, my mind just assumed everyone was literate because everyone I had ever interacted with or been exposed to was literate. Conversely...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    What you say about human conflict is largely true. What is unique now is watching the most powerful civilization in history (with access to the some of all human knowledge literally at its fingertips, abundant wealth, abundant energy, and near total global supremacy) completely destroy itself...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    Short answer yes. Complicated answer is once you know how Heuristics work, even on a basic level, none of this becomes surprising and it becomes very hard not to be a cynical nihilist. Sort of how people who know the science behind music theory not enjoying music as much, because you have...

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    Read up on heuristics. Lithose has extensive posts on the subject, but the short version is our ape brains cannot handle social circles beyond a certain size without employing numerous shortcuts. Smart (and often unscrupulous) people learn to exploit these shortcuts in others for personal...

    The Mandalorian

    Not sure if they will swipe from this, but the old EU books had a short story explaining it. And another where he tracks down Han afterwards (Han is fucking around on the eve of his marriage doing some illegal shit because he is Han) and Boba gets him by whacking the other guys after him. Boba...

    NE really needs a game manager QB to do what Bill wants, which is why I think he was (by his standards) so publicly upset when they traded away Jimmy G. Assuming Bill wants to hang around and prove he is the one with the mojo, I would aim for someone like that. Problem is there are not a lot...

    No his team can still win if he has an off day. Teams like Seattle, GB, and Tampa, not so much. And of those three Wilson is both the most consistent. Plus the NFL is all in on the BLM dick sucking, so Wilson would be getting it even if he did not deserve it (which I think at this point he...

    They also started losing SBs and the along with it the ability to snap their fingers to get decent vets at a bargain price. Plus that 2019 was probably the most utterly anemic SB in history against a Rams team who's one productive offensive player was hiding a major injury.

    RE: The Pats, drafting has rarely been their main road to getting talent. Pats were masters of getting guys with a little bit left in the tank to come in and sign sweet short term deals for a chance to get a ring. Then Darth Bill would trade you off to some dipshit franchise and your stats...

    Well, the Chargers are always the Charlie Brown of the league. Been that way since Fouts retired. For the 9ers, this is a new situation. For the Chargers its standard MO.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    If the 49ers were not being raped by the injury monster, they would have the best D in the league, hands down. I think their coordinator is probably the best in the league (maybe Bellicheck might compare?) but it does not matter if half the starters are hurt and the Offense can't get off the...

    Fitzpatrick is the backup for the Dophins. Tua has to shit the bed hard enough for Fitz to get the starting job again by all known laws of the universe. Thats the Jets window to at least one win.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    There are only three actually good defenses in the league right now: Titans, Rams, and (usually) Tampa. No one else has been remotely consistent, let alone "great". This is basically going to be remembered as the "steroid stats" era of football, offensively at least.

    This is pretty much what it was like being a Packer Fan the last few years under McCarthy and our porous defense. If the QB has anything less than a perfect game, you lose. I will say the argument for Wilson as MVP probably gained some more merit, since a slightly off night was clearly the...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    To get to this point you have to have well defined villains. Thanos was reasonably well defined within but not before the IW movies. Loki, who is not really a big part of the comic SW, is well defined. Vulture is the next most well defined villain they have at this point. Could they pull off...
