That's Disneyland? Really? Hmmm. Ok. Have you lost total sense of reality? Did you stay on campus? Your dorm look anything like this building? have kids? visited some of these colleges? Wha? Lost sense of reality? It appears clear to me that you are stuck in 1950, design wise. Even with how design ...

That's Disneyland? Really?

Hmmm. Ok.

And just to round this out, the wall street bailout of 2007 was a pure, unadulterated, bail out/ hand out to the irresponsible rich. The re-distribution of wealth. My tax dollars. And the following year, profits were at a record high. Meanwhile, regular joes lost their jobs and savings. Just like wi...

Rumblings that Biden may be impeached https://www.npr.org/2023/07/25/1190048336/biden-impeachment-mccarthy-hunter Ughhh.. I hope not. I'm no fan of Biden but this constant need of the opposition party to impeach or threaten impeach the sitting president is such a dumb waste of time. It is all done ...

On an unrelated note, how the fuck is this dog not put down yet? There has to be a joke in here somewhere about Biden not being able to control his son or his dog :lol: https://www.npr.org/2023/07/25/1189957208/biden-dog-commander-bites-secret-service-agents I really hope you don't see yourself as ...

So are we not allowed to blame them for the economy when they say they have a hand in it? Allowed in terms of first amendment rights (politics) or allowed in terms of strict distributive justice (ethical judgment)? According to the former, yes. According to the latter, not so obvious. If we are goi...

Tomlin's win ranking, compared to other coaches (not me), casts doubt on your thesis. His playoff performances - including getting curb stomped in like the last 4 - SUPPORTS the thesis. 3 playoff wins in 12+ years is below average. 1 conference championship trip in 12+ years is below average. That'...

i don’t think it’s wrong, the trend has been teams winning with rookie contract QBs, even ones that aren’t that great (Mayfield, Trubisky, etc). B-tier QBs get MVP votes and win superbowls on rookie contracts. And a lot of the time teams delay big chunks of QB cap hit until the season after they le...

Naj Harris. 2022 : 272 carries. Long : 36. 229 yards on 41 receiving targets. Jay Warren, 2022 : 77. Long : 31. 214 yards on 28 receiving targets. Warren had one yard more per carry average than Harris with 1/3 as many touches (4.9 vs 3.8). I wonder what would happen if Warren had 272 carries and wh...

No. I'm not "demanding" a solution. I at minimum would like people to recognize being gaslit. So then....what's your point? Here's what you said earlier: How would we know what the alternatives are when we are force fed one system? Conditioned to believe what we have is best, and there is no need t...

I wish more of our young players were wise enough to remain in Pittsburgh. Home town discount has nothing to do with it , there are dangers in leaving for more money to another team that y ou may not fit so nicely into their defense, their scheme, etc . I'm in total agreement. Good signing/ numbers...

So let me understand this. You will acknowledge a problem, but won't address it if it doesn't have a counter? The problem is that you keep complaining and are demanding that someone else come up with solutions to fix a problem while offering no solutions of your own. If you don't like the answer pe...

But I have to say, pabst. Thank you for normal intellectual discourse. At least I don't have to deal with you insulting me or my profession. I know we have disagreements, but at least we can agree to disagree and not resort to insults. Kudos.

So let me understand this. You will acknowledge a problem, but won't address it if it doesn't have a counter? And I never said I hate capitalism. I think capitalism is a beast that needs to be leashed. But most free market proponents don't want a leash. And free market advancements are over rated, u...

And so since nobody has a ideological compromise we should continue with bullshit? Come on, pabst. Any business owner would solve a problem ASAP if it were a problem. The issue here is that you don't think there is a problem to fix. Supply side econ is good, and climate change is a scam. End. I thi...

Dude. You post stuff like I give a shit. All the insults you vomit are to mainly to masturbate yourself.

Please keep your inadequacies to yourself.

How would we know what the alternatives are when we are force fed one system? Conditioned to believe what we have is best, and there is no need to move forward? This is why I am concerned with society. We are stagnant and dead in the water. If we all see injustices, then what the fuck is the point ...

A) I don’t think mega stars think that far ahead. I don't think it's just the actors. It's the agents and SAG. They are the ones behind this. This is a fight between talent and industry. Just like football, and all other industries. Its about capital vs labor. Hollywood loves the idea that they con...

Trump is a piece of shit.

Happy?

Yes.

Very good. I can now carry-on with my day…

I know, right? You need affirmation. It's absolutely necessary for others to agree with you. Your insecurity needs coddling. Otherwise, you wouldn't know who you are. . .

Yeah. Like capitalism is consuming our lives. Live with it. Deal with it. It will be discussed Hey dipshit. Discussing it here though is ummm against board rules. In case you have forgotten. Talking bout Tomlin (good or bad) isn’t. Ever. Why are you always on the wrong side of shit?? Always. Now go...

Ultimately this is about the future. Mega stars are worried that all they need to do is furnish a head shot and a movie is made using AI. No work needed. That's what this is about. Protecting the average joe background dude is just a vehicle to protect talent = A, B, and C, list stars. They want th...

We will fully disagree that free markets are not fair. Free markets are not fair....but they are a shitload more "fair" than the alternatives. I'll steal from the old expression around free speech: I'll let you enforce market "fairness" so long as you'll let me define what "fair" means. Deal? How w...

I know you're mimicking, but no one rationally has this extreme take of "oh well, fuck off". The SBO takes the risk of anything crumbling without any control. I mean we just experienced this with Covid killing a number of small businesses. But there is truth that smart businesses will adapt and sur...

For me, it's the small business owners who operate near these studios. That bakery that likely gets over 50% of their business by studios doing coffee runs will likely cripple them Too fucking bad, right? It's capitalism and free markets at work. If the coffee shop folds, it's like the gazelle runn...

I don’t feel bad at all for production and media companies. I do feel bad for theater chains and even more so for small/independent theater houses. They’ve been dealt blow after blow in recent years. This could be another big blow. Yes, theaters need to adapt if they are to survive, and they have b...

Yeah. Like capitalism is consuming our lives. Live with it. Deal with it. It will be discussed. Because capitalism is everywhere. Deal with criticism instead of being a triggered snowflake.

Capitalism at work. Funny how people get upset over the "worker" but it's all lip service. This is about an industry protecting itself, regardless of demand. Put your money were your mouth is, and help the vast demographic of workers, instead of feeding the rich. Oh wait. Pull yourself up from your ...

I agree. Swanee was exceptional, but Stallworth was $$$$ any way you look at it. I wouldn't give up that duo for anything. . .
