  1. When did he fucking NFL thread get competitive? Maybe I should start the 2024 NCAA Football thread now so I can get in on the action.... BRB
  2. I have a Scooby Doo head cover on my driver.
  3. There is no assuming with this presidential election and unreasonableness of the Republican Party. If voting to send him to prison is what it takes to get voters out, so be it. As a progressive, I totally understand the disillusionment that my fellow Americans are experiencing, Anti-semitism continues to run rampant even as Arab Americans are witnessing a genocide of their own. Asian Americans continue to be targeted on the streets, Latino Americans are branded as aliens on land they've inhabited for centuries and Black Americans continue to die a the hands of not just cops but an unfeeling health care system. Meanwhile white Americans continue to whine about how they're being persecuted. Like it or not, Biden really is overseeing an America at a low point, and the misdirections that the Republican Party use with their tired talking points distract from the very real malaise that voters have about the state of their home. The problem has always been a fundamental misunderstanding about what's happening. To an extent, Biden has to own the fact that the people who sent him to the White House are not living better lives than they were under Trump... or Obama and George W before him. At the same time, it's not fair to simply ask these same voters to choose "the lesser of two evils" when it doesn't alleviate their suffering. Nonetheless, the problems that are truly affecting this country and its morale can't be addressed by a vote or a new law or a policy decision. Anti-semitism exists because the average American citizen turns a blind eye to the attitudes that underpin it. It's the same with institutional racism - its easy to protest against a police shooting, but what are we doing about giving Black Americans a better shot at an equal education and the opportunities that come with it? Individual local policies that address inequalities are sorely absent with increasingly compressed opportunites to address them. That is why its important to send Trump to hell and give Biden a second term. Biden is not going to fix our problems for us because no Democrat, no matter how Progressive can. The girdlock we see in Congress is a function of the system not an impediment to it - it's an example of what needs to happen when conservative polities represent a true threat freedom. At the core of it is an understanding that both Republicans and Democrats acknowledge; government can't force people to be altruistic. If Trump is allowed to be President, he will break that gridlock and we will see a restrictions to our freedoms - there will be attacks on reproductive rights, there will be moratoriums on programs meant to deal with racial inequality in education and finance, and there will be no safety nets against open racism from extremist elements. If Biden is retained, we continue as we are and we take the lesson to heart that we need take ownership for our communities and start voting on local policies that take into account people different from us and less advantaged as us even if it isn't in our best interest. It shouldn't be simple and it means we have to rediscover our faith in humanity, but the choice is stark.
  4. This is terrible news.
  5. AI is legitimately scary for those in the arts or other creative fields because no one has bothered to develop it as a proper artistic implement.
  6. Yes. Bathroom orgasms are worse. It’s not like you want to hear someone get her or his insides rearranged, but you can’t just cheer them on either. All you can do is stand there silently peeing on the urinal partition.
  7. For anyone else that would have been bonkers, but for Sponges it’s strangely the most perfect way possible for him to dip out. It’s like the perfect cap to his profoundly strange legacy. Would have thought his missus would have booted him back to us by now, though.
  8. Principle of course. If he uses AI, Sponges wins. That being said, I could be convinced to overdub that for relatively cheap.
  9. I was promised explicit content. I can't beat my meat chill out to any of that.
  10. That is not what that X post says. It's not something to cheer about, but it most definitely is needed. Whether it has any kind of dent in the unfolding human catastrophe remains to be seen.
  11. So, a custom .png. I think I can do that.
  12. Inorite? I spent an hour flexing in the mirror like I was Zeni hanging outside Prom after seeing that.
  13. The Green Party hasn't had its circle jerk yet, so there's no candidate for him to stan.
  14. Like what, exactly? I'll be the first to tell you that Biden is too old and that, regardless of his competency, his age represents a real danger to our government. But, he's not a Giant Douche or a Turd Sandwich, and Trump - someone who is not beholden to a system - very much is. Idiots like you that spout these "both-side-isms" are doing more to contribute to the collapse of our democracy than actually helping it
  15. No, we only lose if Trump wins.
  16. I get that part, but where were you wanting it displayed?
  17. Not entirely sure what you're envisioning. I don't recall any sig being specifically created as a reward, but it is something I can do on my end and give to you to attack to your account. Also, seeing as the NFL thread is unpinned, I'm doing the same for this one.
  18. A banner? Where? I guess we really do need a hall of fame of sorts where we list the historic winners. The yellow group title below your name can’t really be changed like that because of what it is.
  19. Crisis averted for now.
  20. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooook
  21. Ghosty…. Dictatorships don’t count as monarchies, even if power is passed hereditarily. Here’s a weird geopolitical fact: the largest US counties by population and by area share a border.
  22. Just depends on whose servers the messaging app uses I think. That’s why I mention it.
  23. I don’t think that happens all that often on Apple Messages. I have had it happen in Google Chat.
  24. Y’all make it sound like you wouldn’t watch your mom make out with a hot chick if she was Elizabeth Hurley.
