In many schools there is a lot of stigma around being the dumb kids who are only there because they got in the easy way, and the athlete's only lifeline to legitimacy on campus is through their sporting endeavors. "In exchange for being a good part of our team, we give you this education in exchange" sort of a thing. Obviously it's not universal, but it is very common.

I was talking about the programming language

That's just insane. He's...EASILY the greatest actor of this generation. I don't know why his style of preparing for a role would detract from it, but remember when he tapped his plastic eye with that sharp knife? That was a thin layer and he had to train himself to keep his eye open. That's just ONE of dozens of anecdotes that sticks out that adds so much to role. The dude's weird, he's EASILY the greatest actor in history IMO. At LEAST the last 30 years. Has he been in a bad role? I don't think you can find a list without DDL near the top if not at the top of greatest actors EVER. Tom Cruise was great... before he just basically took the same role in every movie the last 30 years(A Few Good Men was great for example...though even there, that was just the non-action lawyer role which he then meshed with the firm and then went to over the top action movies...which is fine, but I can't get past the scientology stuff). Anyway, he's not in the same group as Daniel Day Lewis. More people have seen Tom Cruise movies, they've been ore successful, though if that's the metric, the sister in the Godfather, Adriana in Rocky would be one of the "top" Female actors of all-time and Harrison Ford would be the "best" Male star of all-time.

Well, you've stumped me it seems...

I'm not interested in watching it. I've followed it for many years...

Please tell me this is coherent to someone else? "well, there definitely is a troll on this forum who SAID he voted for trump..." Anyone understand how this...apparent Trump voter who is actually a leftist( sort of like your claim the Minnesota shooter was actually a liberal with a Democrat contact list is) has to do with a US Senator who mocked the deaths and joked about it? Really... someone help me understand this one (not you Scout, I'm sure you'll change the topic into some whataboutism). You don't actually understand what "word games" are, do ya sport?

Yes, those 14 cases in ENTIRELY different scenarios since 1988... in somehow in some of your feeble minds means...hell, the Cop could have "changed lanes," which would require backing over him. LOL... just need to keep pointing out the hypocrisy.

THIS is the more ignorant part of this post. Most of my Family is in Law Enforcement. On the two sides, 6 Uncles, among Cousins in the various agencies and including MPs, it's ~12(I don't know if one is retired yet). But yeah, thinking someone driving an UNMARKED can pull a gun because someone LEGALLY takes a picture of their license plate...can ONLY mean I hate Cops. Again, how the bootlicking on the right have gotten insane. The constitution and you're rights... only works if it suits your argument, eh? LOL... again, not surprised by the hypocrisy.

Like I said previously ... glad i don't have HBO Max.

Nope

Great. You went back to 1988 to conjure up vastly different circumstances to try and overstate the threat a Cop faces and SOMEHOW justify pulling a gun on a NON-TRAFFIC stop and perfectly legal, constitutionally protected action. These are just SOME of the jobs most several TIMES more dangerous than being a Cop.

Well... I don't know why they'd be persona non-grata away from their athletic circle, but... ok. Not really the main point. I said it's obviously not that simple... but I won't be able to understand.

It's heart wrenching. It makes you feel despair for the human race.

Was this intended for Pokemonster?

Some speculation is fair play. People that are intubated, on ECMO and being evaluated for a lung transplant are very sick. Outcomes for these patients is often dismal. Lets not sugarcoat what is actually pretty bleak.

How was it?

^^^ this ^^^

I don't this doesn't come out as off-putting, but IMO we should just keep this thread to actual updates on Ben's health while avoiding playing doctor by trying to explain why, how, or what is going to come of Ben's current situation. I know that we are all on the same team, but we should stick to what we know based on the information that has been made public. I know that's not typically the spirit of a forum, but in this critical time, I don't think any of us want to give "opinion" on what may or may not be transpiring. This is an absolutely horrible situation, and I think we would all be best giving it space. Please continue to share updates, but let's not bring opinions or speculation into the picture anymore than necessary.

Keep that python in your pants, Mr. PB.

Jim Jordan came off looking like a real assbag. Lied about knowing, then suggested the wrestlers were wrong and lying, then still admitted to admit he was wrong.

He should concentrate on creating the internet and manbearpig.

come on.. all those were just some guy taking a picture of the license plate

Pretty awesome boss! Most important part is getting the matches in a database …. Second imo is the ui. So that’s amazing!

If you are a kid on a scholarship, the first one from your family to go to a college, and you are entirely unfamiliar with big college environments, you may have nothing to fall back on, and causing a stink with a university professional is a great way to get kicked out, especially since most college athletes felt like they were typically persona non-grata away from their sporting environment anyway. This dude put student athletes in a position to choose their dignity or their future, career etc. Horrifyingly calculated behavior.
