Weave

He was doomed to be hated. Unless his first name was something like Magilicuddy, he was going to be cursed with 2 first names. Automatic douche material.

Unpopular opinion forthcoming. The only reason the Mitts trade is a failure is because KA misjudged Cozens. I believe the plan was set based on the assumption that Cozens would be as effective as Mitts, harder to play against than Mitts, and the team wanted a defense first 3rd line center anyway. Had Cozens not started the season with a thud, we wouldn’t miss Mitts 5v5 with McLeod changing the role of the 3rd line. Alas, Mr. Adam’s expectations for Cozens were a just a bit loftier than reality. I like our defense roster. I am less concerned about it than I am the forward group.

You don’t care that the administration you are railing on handled the subject you are railing on better than the rest of the world? The US literally showed the rest of the world how to do it with a soft landing. Don’t let data and facts obscure your predisposed opinions I guess. At least now I know to not bother engaging with you.

Islanders have some muscle. Would like to see Gilbert in this one, but noone really deserves to sit down.

Context. Inflation since covid is a worldwide issue, spurred on by every country printing money like crazy to prevent an economic meltdown. Its not unique to the US, and it’s a byproduct of the very important decision to keep the economy from crashing. In fact, inflation in the US is lower than most of the rest of the industrialized world. The US is fairing much better in that regard than Europe, Japan, China for example. The current administration’s economic policy has prevented the inflation that the rest of the world is seeing. Context.

And thats the stupid part prart right there. It’s been an objectively good 4 yrs economically. Especially relative to the rest of the industrialized world. But that is a message the right doesn’t want you to see.

I agree. But it is a fraction of the costs to have enough polling places open to service every enrolled voter. If we were serious about having a truly representative vote, we would be making it easier to vote. The whole voter role thing is so overblown. There is no evidence of significant fraud. Its an issue because some folks want it to be an issue.

That gives more time. How does it make it more accessible to the millions without private transportation? Or the people with employment situations that won’t allow them the time off. And your plan costs more. Why spend more when an efficient solution is a web developer away? Evolve or die.

How do you make paper voting more accessible? Are you willing to spend more govt dollars for more polling places, more counters, more staff? Paper voting is inefficient and results in long waits and requires the elderly and people without transportation to travel to vote. Yes, 100% obsolete when we have the technology to put voting right in everyones living room. Unless your goal is to keep voting inconvenient, paper is obsolete.

Its funny how the “other countries do it this way” thing changes from subject to subject. How do other countries handle health care? ‘Murica! How do other counties use obsolete voting systems? We should follow them! 🤦‍♂️

This country should be striving to make voting as accessible as possible, not making it more difficult. There is no good reason in 2024 that we can’t vote via phone. We have sufficient ID checking and security to manage financial investments, medical records, and secure business work via phone and we won’t even consider implementing voting by phone. Yes, I agree. It is 100% political.

Record numbers of voters the last 2 presidential elections. I would have hated to see what the voting lines would have looked like if early voting wasn’t available. And I think you would have hated it too. Cut the early voter participation in half and add them all to Tuesday and voting would truly suck.

@That Aud Smellwhat index did you use for that?

We set them up high so the harder they fall.

The answer to the thread title is “fleeting”.

I legit thought the OP was going to have a totally different tone. 🤷‍♂️

I think it was pretty obvious. Sam didn’t fit KAs timeline and thus couldn’t be considered a core player and paid accordingly.

Blowing up the only two lines that really looked effective seems like a bad idea. But thats just me.

They are what their record says they are. And their record is pretty similar to the 1st 10 game starts of over half of the previous 14 seasons.

Not gonna lie, I do have some anxiety over what may be planned for November-January.

The next few games should start to set the pecking order. They need to demonstrate that they are the best of the bottom half teams as I expect struggling to close out against the established playoff teams will be the norm as the season tightens up.

Norri deserves a like.

Pretty sure I wasn’t referencing a win streak.

It only took me 3 hrs to see what you did here.
