    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    As someone who is a Favre fan, yes I do. At some point you have to start looking to the future.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I am with Brutul on this one. Outside of a handful of running QBs (who all could incidentally pass well) they all go bananas for a year then fizzle out immediately. And even the ones that can throw often fall off a cliff the first time they get injured and can no longer rely on their legs to...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    This is on the Aints organization. They should have kept Bridgewater. You could see the fall off in Brees last year. That team is now in freefall. NFC Championship is going to be the Packers getting destroyed by whatever team survives the NFC West, like most years.

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    Yeah I was mostly checked out after Quantum of Solace. That..... thing.... is not James Bond 007. Just, no. Hiddleston can do action (Skull Island), but really has better things to do. Same with Hardy. Craig worked because he was portraying the early era Bond from Casino Royale. Honestly...

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    My vote was no, I just had doubts about the evidence. Keg has racked up enough other stupid shit to be banned anyway, though.

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    Thought that Tyen.

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    I am not defending Keg. I am shitting on Suineg. Keg is just the unintended beneficiary. Also when the whole canary thing happened, I took a vacation and did not see the tweet screenshots. But I am sure someone has them.

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    So it should be easy to prove it and that Keg was involved then, other than Suinegs word? Surely the Army IG talked to at least one of the AMOD team at the time and they can confirm it and put to rest? Don't get me wrong, I still think Keg should stay banned if no other evidence presents...

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    I mean I can dig through the thread, but he said himself he left pills sitting out on his back door porch for her to pick up. Whats your take on that situation? Plus he made his bones with this community by sucking up to her in Wow, which I am totally sure was out of the kindness of his heart...

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    I don't really care, but I remember that. Begs the question why Suineg would make that statement. Everyone has their level of comfort with the anonymity lie we tell ourselves. I am not on twitter at all, especially as it pertains to this board. But you have to admit that Suineg's...

    Poll Should Kegkilla's Ban be Lifted?

    Fair enough, but this is also the guy who tried arguing feeding a known whore he had been a beta orbiter of for years Vicodin pills was just him being a friend. He is quite good at rationalizing a lot of bullshit and arguably a bigger drama whore than most around here. In the absence of...

    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?
  18. Phazael

    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...

    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...
