Your “Nope, I Was Wrong” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

Today is slower than yesterday.

NFL News:

  • Mike Tomlin is not a fan of touchdown celebrations. This is apparently news.
    • Given how many timeouts he has to waste on extra points, I can see why.
    • He wouldn’t have that problem if he had Hue Jackson’s team.
  • Michael Bennett turned himself in to authorities on assault charges stemming from allegedly knocking over a paraplegic stadium attendant at the Super Bowl.
    • The sheriff has already guaranteed a mistrial by poisoning the jury pool, by referring to Bennett as “pathetic” and “morally corrupt” during the announcement of the charges.
  • Passed unanimously, the new rules defining a catch include:
    • Control of the ball.
    • Two feet down or another body part.
    • A football move such as:
      • A third step;
      • Reaching/extending for the line-to-gain; or
      • the ability to perform such an act.
    • It eliminate the “going to the ground” aspect of the catch process.
    • In other words,

  • The mayor of London wants a Super Bowl.
    • Sadiq Khan clearly sees the draw of The Big Game©®™, but he will have to wait until some team starts demanding a new stadium from their city.
      • I don’t think the Spanoi clan could handle the gray London winters. Dean seems soft.

Finally, as you can see from the banner, the coaches took their annual Winter Meeting photo – minus Messers Belichick, Carroll & Harbaugh. Andy Reid, as usual, was the only one to take the whole palm tree environment to heart.

which many on Twitter are comparing to “Florida Stanley”.


Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL:
    • no national broadcasts
  • NBA:
    • Nuggets at Raptors – 7:30PM | TSN
    • Cavaliers at Heat – 8:00PM | TNT
    • Bucks at Clippers – 10:30PM | TNT
    • Pacers at Warriors – 10:30PM | Sportsnet1
  • NCAA:
    • NIT Basketball Tournament: Semi-finals
      • Western Kentucky vs. Utah – 7:00PM | ESPN
      • Mississippi State vs. Penn State – 9:00PM | ESPN
  • Futbol:
    • International Friendly Soccer:
      • U.S. vs. Paraguay – 7:30PM | FS1
      • Mexico vs. Croatia – 9:50PM | FS1
  • WWE:
    • Smackdown – 8:00PM | USA / Sportsnet360

Boy, does the NHL sure know marketing. A week to go until the playoffs, and they can still afford to have no national broadcasts to pump up potential playoff matchups. As always, fuck Roger Goodell, but really – FUCK GARY BETTMAN!

#walkupnotout is 100% disingenuous bullshit (I say, assuming you all are idiots who don’t already know this).

My first interaction with Nikolas Cruz happened when I was in seventh grade. I was eating lunch with my friends, most likely discussing One Direction or Ed Sheeran, when a sudden pain consumed my lower back. The sheer force of the blow knocked the wind out of my 90-pound body; tears stung my eyes. I turned around and saw him, smirking. I had never seen this boy before, but I would never forget his face. His eyes were lit up with a sick, twisted joy as he watched me cry.

I Tried to Befriend Nikolas Cruz. He Still Killed My Friends.

theeWeeBabySeamus

It’s not so much that it’s disingenuous. It’s that nothing, no matter how well-meaning or well-intentioned, will ever reach some people.

There probably are some young folks who feel disenfranchised, who this sort of thing could help.

Sadly however, there are some people who are irreparably broken and nothing will reach them.

Some of them are dangerous.

Sad but true.

Unsurprised

It’s disingenuous in that it was created and promoted by a bunch of gunfuckers just to distract people from the fact that people are no longer buying into or afraid of letting them stick their AR-15 barrels into their dickholes at the expense of people’s lives.

I should also mention that the people who started it are literally the same assholes who say “fuck your feelings” and call people cucks and snowflakes and talk about safe spaces. But mass shooters are middle or upper-class privileged white men who have families and support networks and are just evil assholes, so they are the ones people decide need to be coddled.

The people who are ostracized and left out totally should be reached out towards – except that those are the people who are victims of mass shootings and all other school and domestic and general violence; women, LGBTQ, minorities, disabled and impaired, etc. Basically groups that never act out violently against others in spite of the bullying they suffer on a regular basis. They just kill themselves, so nobody gives a fuck about them.

theeWeeBabySeamus

OK, I had started a reply, then you edited.

And since this seems way more of a hot button issue for you than I originally expected, I’m just gonna bow out now and not offend you further.

My apologies.

(but also, over generalizing about these sorts of things helps no one….just saying)

The groups you name are not the exclusive victims of mass shootings. You know that, right? In fact, it’s usually kinda the other way ’round. If there even is a logic to an insane fucker walking thru a school and shooting it up.

WHICH THERE FUCKING IS NOT!!!!!!

Yes, those groups get bullied a lot tho. I can certainly admit that. So then what in the ever loving fuck is wrong with a campaign to open communication between “peers”, so they can better understand one another, no matter who starts it or who YOU think is the bad guy here?

If it could do some good, should it be scrapped as disingenuous just because you don’t like its origins?

Sure…sounds about right.

G’nite everybody.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Dr. Dorothy Espelage, professor of Psychology at the University of Florida who specializes in bullying and teacher safely, told The Mighty the #WalkUpNotOut concept was being used in some school districts as an alternative to the walkout, in cases a school felt they didn’t have the resources to protect their students during a walkout, for example.

Although the hashtag (seemingly) was not intended to cause a divide — unsurprisingly, a familiar pattern emerged. Folks on Twitter used the hashtag to undermine the walkout, and explain why focusing on being nice to others, rather than protesting and advocating for gun control, is a more effective way to stop school shootings.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Not all gun owners would sacrifice the well-being of even one other human being for their guns. How do I know this? Because I’m one of them.

The NRA is political. Nothing more, nothing less. Fuck ’em. I have no use for them.

I’d give up all of my guns and every single piece of ammunition I own if it would fix the problem. Or even just fix one kid. But it won’t. That’s not the way the world works.

And over generalizing by people on either side, whose interest lies in themselves and getting themselves heard, will never fix the problem.

But if these hokey campaigns end up helping even one kid to rise above, no matter who starts them on either side…?

Damned right I’m for that.

I’ll hand over all my guns to you tomorrow and we can melt them down…. if you can tell me how you’d fix this shit instead of just yelling everything sucks.

More importantly, the real lesson here is that the racket the boys run in Goodfellas to bust out the lounge is totally legal when a hedge fund does it. Mitt Romney didn’t become a billionaire because Bain Capital was ethical or legal.

Watching “Social Network” while Facebook still exists and Zuckerberg still has money.

I know they phrase it to where Zuckerberg screwed his friend over with the influence of the Napster guy, but to be honest, its not completely Zuckerberg’s fault. If you’re the CFO of a company and that company moves to California and you don’t go with them, where I come from that’s at best “not being fully committed” and at worst “quitting”. Also him freezing the accounts should definitely be grounds for termination or something. He’s the CFO so he does have control of the accounts, but as the majority owner, Zuckerberg ultimately has the final decision what to do with that money. Just because the boss gives me the keys to petty cash doesn’t mean I run to the racino to bet on the ponies. The fact that he put the money in is irrelevant. Once he invested that money, it ceased being his money.

True, Zuckerberg screwed him out of the money, but in reality, he should’ve pulled his friend in line once he felt uncomfortable with Sean Parker and given him an Off Ramp Speech. “If you with us, you’re with us full speed. If not, there’s the door, no hard feelings.”

Unsurprised

He also should’ve actually read the motherfucking paperwork.

HARVARD BUSINESS, EVERYBODY!

But there’s a reason they didn’t show any of the actual meeting between Zuck and Peter Thiel or the other VCs, because then they’d have to admit that he wasn’t just magnanimously making an awesome social website but was building a platform to collect, analyze, sell, and control a fuckton of information. And it was always that bad. I didn’t sign up until 2008 because I already knew that was its business model, and I never wanted to or ever really did use it until I had to create a new account for law school. Now I’m fucking stuck.

I know I can scrub all my data and not share anything and I should, but I have enough problems already.

Alright, I’m not starting a debate. I’m not trying to stir shit up. I’m not trying to troll/piss off/arouse/enrage anyone. I’m legitimately confused here and I’d like some help.

The Trump Administration inserts a question about citizenship status into the Census and everyone reacts like he crossed out John Hancock’s name on the Declaration of Independence and replaced it with his Richter Scale-like signature? Why? I can see why some undocumented immigrants would want to avoid answering for fear that the ICE will show up and drag them away. But as a undocumented immigrant, they would already want to avoid the Census because they don’t want to do anything that gets the attention of the Government anyway. Besides, by the time the census data hits after 2020, the Dems will be in charge and ICE will revert back to an border enforcement force instead of a modern day Sturmabteilung so it should be back to normal.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s a legitimate question. I think you’ve answered it yourself, though – census takers have a hard enough time getting responses from non-citizens already, they don’t need it made any worse.

King Hippo

what he said. But I honestly don’t know enough about the topic to tell if it’s just run-of-the-mill trolling or something more impactful.

Unsurprised

ICE was formed in 2005 to be an American Gestapo and it has been its entire tenure. It’s just that no one in the media wanted to note that most of its existence and its history of unconstitutional and criminal activity happened when Obama was president. Now that he isn’t, the gloves are off.
