I assume that’s a grandchild.
The whole sport is at some sort of horrible inflection point. I’ve been a fan since I was a little kid, but it’s really hard to watch it anymore.

Weird….

He looks like a guy walking the halls at an assisted living facility.
posted by jmogNo way you think QO isn’t given just as much shit as say Ptown.
Gee gets more grief than everyone else put together.
posted by jmogThe problem is that the only objective evidence we have, the online quizzes, sides with my viewpoint and not yours.
You may say "well people will lie to get the right answers they want to portray", nearly everyone? That goes against Occam's Razor.
Yes, its still my opinion, but at least my opinion is backed up by objective evidence, your's is just your opinion.
John Lennon’s (aka Dr. Winston O’Boogie) alternate lyrics to Imagine:
“You may say jmog’s insufferable
And you’re not the only one
I hope someday he relaxes
And releases the tension in each bun”

My opinion is backed up by objective evidence that you’d be a real downer at a cocktail party.
posted by jmogIt’s the way your bias opinion believes it to be, that doesn’t make it true.
It’s subjective for me - true. But your opinion is exactly the same - subjective. People taking online political quizzes does not change that. I think this place leans pretty far right. That’s my bias just like your bias that it’s some sort of centrist Eden.

posted by CenterBHSFanI'm curious now as to what people think constitutes as right/left, conservative/liberal, Republican/Democrat.
The way I see it is that it's all such a jumbled mess. I honestly don't know how anyone can live in the current reality of things, not their ideals, and call themselves one of the other. Not anymore.
I also think that most people on this site couldn't distinguish a party that delivers on a claim or holds to its traditional values. We Americans are in a fix lol!
Conservative (right) / progressive (left) are philosophies or world views that remain static. Political parties don’t necessarily overlap with these as parties are platforms that are ever morphing and don’t necessarily adhere to a philosophy.
posted by CenterBHSFanNo,.I think it's just the way YOU are.
Yes, it is the way I perceive this forum.
posted by CenterBHSFanHow right wing is it to be anti war?
Because the way I see it, I argue with Dems against both wars while they argue for it.
I think the shifting oaradigmd has got people staring at broken compasses.
Edit:
I think that several/most people here have also pointed out the fact that the Dems have dropped their bread and butter base, which is the working class.
I know that it has been 30 years since I've been a Dem. I've been very upfront about it. I find it amazing how people take that to mean that one has to be a Republican at that point. They are so absorbed into the Duopoly that they can't comprehend thinking outside of the system.
I said right wing as in conservative, I didn’t say Republican
Why does RFK Jr. always look like he’s giving all his might to pushing a constipated turd out?
posted by jmogOk Gee…
It’s just the way it is - not good or bad.
posted by jmogEvery non-gop? Good lord….
This site has like 10 people posting. 2 leftists, about 2 righties maybe, and 5-6 middle of the roaders.
Other than QO and maybe BR(?) I can’t think of any straight line GOP’er on this board.
This site is a right wing echo chamber. Having an occasional post being critical of something Trump did doesn’t change that.

Yet another conspiracy theory coming true as the left-wing narratives get shattered.
You can make it sound as complex and sophisticated as you want. The long and short of it is a huge crowd rioted, broke into the building, ransacked and called for the heads of several people they didn’t like because they wouldn’t accept a legitimate election.

I’m sure he put his feelers out all over the NFL. Because of his age and management style, no one is going to take him. A top tier college team won’t take him for the same reason. So if he wanted to coach in any capacity, it’d have to be something like this. UNC is a good choice because the expectations will be reasonable, the ACC is very weak compared to the other big conferences, so there’s a reasonable path to the playoff.
posted by j_crazywas planning a havasu boating/ATV trip for my 40th and then a beach trip for the family vacation/wife's 40th, but the wife just finish chemo and her van just blew up and we got a new one so we've exhausted all the fun money dealing with that crap. so might not have enough saved up to cover the big trips. might end up doing something a little more lowkey. time will tell.
Hope your wife’s doing well.
posted by majorsparkFine. When I read things like anti-capitalist, sympathizers more on the left, shouting "lived experience" among other things my radar points left... I have the sense the guy has some guilt about his privileged upbringing. From what I have read he has not always felt this way. Just my instincts.
You may be right. It just seems like his political views are all over the board. He appears to have gone off the rails during the last 6-12 months.
Being a college coach today is way different than it was a few years ago. If he can attract a bunch of transfer talent, he can have success in a very weak league.

posted by CenterBHSFanWhat was that saying Dems kept saying in 2016? Love Trump's hate. Yes, that one.
We can apply that here:
I don’t know about the saying you reference, but this guy’s a racist conspiracy theorist who does not belong among the halls of power. Good riddance. Wish AOC and MTG would be joining him (among others).
