re: Even though LSU has dominated the series for over a decade

Who cares about the UF series in the grand scheme of things. The expectation every year should be make the playoffs and compete for a national title.

It's the diminishing incentive to be invested in the regular season. If you can lose 3 conference games and still be in the playoffs, the rivalry and tradition of the conference suffers.

Most LSU fans remember a time before Saban at Alabama, the annual match up between LSU and Auburn/Florida was the biggest game of the year that almost always had bowl implications.

re: Here’s a statement that some Liberals make I agree with. They actually got one right.

Well, at least the topic of whether dogs go to heaven is debatable. Muslims on the other hand...

In all seriousness, I like my dog more than most people I meet here in America too.

I was quoting a line from Ghostbusters. As far as myself, I have to believe there are more intelligent humanoids in this universe than us. I also belive in Atlantis, I just think our knowledge of human history is abysmal and that our species has gone through a few major resets in its history. The rest, no.

How is it possible with all of our military tech that this is the clearest footage we have?

Because, if they are real and able to travel interstellar with a single craft, they are operating with technology we cannot wholy comprehend with ordinary methods. Only now that we can make high-quality sensors and process the information from them are we able to see more. Yes, I believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis.

One of my longest-running business partners had a large stake in Manhattan real estate, COVID wrecked his portfolio and I know of many others in similar situations. Remote work and the ubiquity of high speed internet has ruined historically lucrative office real estate in high demand areas.

Perfect example of irony. Soccer fans complain about that and American Football fans complain about offsides in soccer. Fact is all sports have some subjective rules that just don't make sense.

Maybe they can help develop weapons systems for a change instead of automatically assuming they'll get our shite for free. See how well they do fighting people with only Desert Eagles and Uzis.

re: What happened at your work which caused multiple people to all quit at once?

Posted by bountyhunter on 6/25/26 at 9:00 pm to FlyingTigerBo
Oil and gas downturns can be rough, if you've been through it you know. So you know how it is, you either get laid off or you get the privilege of taking on other people's jobs that they cut.

I've been self-employed ever since and I do very well for myself now. It definitely sucks being on the other side of it though, I had to liquidate one of my companies during the O&G downturn circa 2017. Instead of being a dick and having the managers do it and then laying off the managers, I spent a week speaking to each person individually. IMO it's the least you can do in an unfortunate situation like that.

Pretty cool that Brees is getting involved with the team again

Well, I have it on good authority that he would like to come back and work in the organization. He's spending the next several years making up lost time with his kids, but after that I have a feeling he takes a job in New Orleans.

He's dipping his toes in with this camp and keeping the lifeline open to the Saints organization.

So Trump promised to put us in a war with Iran with no real goals and to put us in a worse global position after we end it in a strategic defeat? Got it. Thanks for explaining The Art of the Deal for us all.

re: Vice President says U.S. expects Strait of Hormuz to be open ‘toll free’ long term

Posted by bountyhunter on 6/16/26 at 1:23 pm to northshorebamaman

All that to arrive somewhere worse than when we started.

Way worse, actually. We demonstrated the following things:

1. Our military is too expensive to risk in a real global conflict.
2. Our doctrines don't really have an answer to drone warfare.
3. The American public does not have the political focus to take on a war.
4. The American sphere of influence and its weapons exports umbrella has supply chain issues and is extremely vulnerable.
5. To pressure our foreign policy, all you have to do is restrict the global oil market. Iran will have the silver bullet for the American monster, all you have to do is buy their loyalty.
6. The dollar will be supplanted inside of 20 years as the global currency. Just watch.

Dark times ahead.

Wait. So we spent billions of dollars and destroyed the lives of many of our soldiers to obtain exactly what we had prior to the war?

This is some Art of the Deal level shite here folks, and you idiots will lap it up!

Maybe before you swat a hornets nest, have a better plan next time. Also, does that mean we can spend less money on defense now that we've ended another war in a strategic defeat? Stop sending munitions to other countries? Mothball the fleet thats glorified target practice for modern ballistic?

The whole Iran War was just a proving grounds of inteptitude for our military and our government's foreign "policy".
