  1. Great recent example in Men's basketball where NDSU beat a DII school 108-14.
  2. OP is 100% right but only because he lost to Reagan who promptly did all of the actual destruction.
  3. Yeah this is pretty run of the mill sports social media comment section stuff. It sucks that there are people like that, but I don't think wrestling is a special case, nor do I know of a solution other than to shame them. Also, not sure what happened before this clip, but that sequence is 100% Vito and good for Bailey standing up for himself.
  4. i salute hunter for his commitment to stimulating a very important sector in our economy.
  5. Man, Ventresca is really struggling. Is Cooper Flynn available for them this year. Have to think he's better than this. Anybody know if this is an injury or cut issue?
  6. can you seriously not understand how stupid the quote in the tweet is? take a glass of water that’s 97% full (this is Earth’s natural emissions pre-industrial revolution). then pour another 3% in so that the glass is filled to the brim and starting to spill over (this is the added human emissions post industrial revolution). the 97% DOES impact climate change. it’s the increased human emissions on top of this baseline normal emissions that is slowly raising average temps.
  7. that would require an election. the last one was in 2006. the majority of palestinians were either not born or toddlers. hamas won with 44% of the vote in a huge upset. following the 2006 election there was a break and fighting between Hamas and Fatah. Hamas took total control of the Gaza government and have not held elections since.
  8. as we learn more about 10/7 it’s clear what an utter failure the IDF was in defense of its citizens. Not only were they unprepared, but they likely killed many of their own people. this is a consequence of concentrating your military in the west bank as an occupying police force. they totally underestimated hamas and their civilians paid dearly.
  9. at the absolute BEST, most generous interpretation, he is saying he doesn’t sympathize for victims of antisemitism because some jews push ideas he disagrees with. and then elon endorses that position. i think that’s a gross thing to say. you hyperfocus on one part of the statement to ignore the rest that contains the context to make sense of the whole thing. people in the israel thread charge me with saying things i don’t say. yes, that’s wrong and i commend you for reading generously. but in this case you’re ignoring things this guys actually did say.
  10. No, you are doing a ton of work to read in a more generous interpretation of what he actually said. There is a difference between saying: "some Jews" believe these things that some white people might interpret as anti-white (because some members of every ethnic group believe those things) and "Jewish communities push anti-white hate and therefore I don't care if Jews face anti-semitism from "hordes of minorities." He finishes with "You want truth said to your face, there it is" in response to someone saying "If you believe Hitler was right, say it to my face."
  11. The comparison between people protesting because the police kill an insane amount of people (and black people are way overrepresented in those numbers) and a mob who tried to storm the government to overturn the result of a democratic election is....INSANE lmao.
  12. Guy 1: "If you agree with Hitler, say it" Guy 2: "Okay [I'll say it], *repeats core antisemitic myth of Nazism*... Elon: "I agree" Elon might not be a literal "Nazi" in the sense that he doesn't belong to the Nazi party, but he's pretty open about believing a core tenant of the Nazi's views on Jews. And guess what, if you believe "Jews" are pushing anti-white hate, you are also buying into a core myth of Nazism.
  13. great segment on some of the lunatics driving israel’s internal politics.
  14. Perfect excuse for them to start bombing all the civilians they sent to the south.
  15. It is not disputed that Israel has been striking the hospital leading up to the raid. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/14/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-al-shifa-hospital.html As for your evidence: and this doesn’t even mention the “hamas laptop” they showed had a hebrew keyboard with an israeli soldier as the screensaver.
  16. This is not up for debate. The hospital was bombed many times. Israel admits this. Their justification was it was a Hamas command center. They have yet to show evidence of that.
  17. zero self awareness from one of the guys who accuses anybody critical of Israel as a terrorist sympathizer
  18. The only reason they don't is because they're afraid of losing the Western support they depend on entirely. Doing so would be genocide. Right now they can dance on the line and say they aren't and it keeps the pressure on their allies low enough to be tolerable. As @Plasmodium says, they're playing the long game for the land. Slowly seizing village after village in the West Bank, neighborhood after neighborhood in Jerusalem (they just took out a section of the Armenian quarter the last few days), and finally, slowly choking the life out of Gaza until the people leave, die, or fight back hard enough to justify total elimination in the eyes of the western world. The ridiculous thing about you guys pretending this isn't about ethnic cleansing is that Israeli's are pretty open about it. The Knesset is filled with people who call for ethnic cleansing. The IDF protects illegal settlers who commit acts of violence to seize land in the West Bank and Jerusalem. The political messaging by the Israeli government is totally different in Hebrew than their English propaganda for Western audiences.
  19. The problem with this last line is the clowns on here think that's all a good thing. Spot on though.
