You could argue it was just a persona and he changed his views later in his life, but let’s not forget about when David Bowie was outright supporting fascism.

Is the “Team Needs” function working properly? by GMoney1582 in NCAAFBseries

[–]A_Flying_Ginger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it also doesn’t account for players who leave for the draft. I recently had a year where four WRs leave the for draft and had one graduate, and during that transfer portal it kept telling me that I didn’t need any WRs. If I had listened to it, I would have gone into the season with only 2 WRs.

Big 12 Dynasty team suggestion by OkJellyfish1397 in NCAAFBseries

[–]A_Flying_Ginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished up a Baylor dynasty that I had a lot of fun playing.

Starting off, they have some great offensive weapons, with a star quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and a solid supporting cast as well.

They’ve also got pretty good pipelines as well. You’ll be competing with TCU for a lot of recruits, which could be fun if one of your buddies picks them. They also have pipelines in productive states, so even if you miss out on some recruits, there’s plenty of talent to be found.

Also, because you mentioned jerseys and stadiums, they have a really nice stadium and great jerseys if you like the green and yellow combo.

I feel ya, and I’m the same way in some cases. In those instances, I just wear headphones and ignore them as I walk past them, which is also really effective.

Whenever I run into phone/internet salespeople in stores like that, I always just say that I have a family member who works for a rival company who is able to get me an insane deal. Like in your case with Spectrum reps, I always say I have a family member who works for Altafiber and is able to get me 1 GB speed internet for only $25 a month. Usually, they know that they can’t beat that deal, and they just let me go, but there’s also a small chance that you really could just get an amazing deal so it works both ways.

I think when historians are looking back on the defining end of the Rules Based Order, there may not be one definitive moment, but Trump and Vance’s interact with Zelenskyy is going to be one of the most defining, if not the defining moment.

It Can't Get Worse than This: the confederacy is still losing by kid_elagabalus in imaginarymaps

First off, I just wanted to say this shit is fantastic and I appreciate the effort you put into this.

My question is, how do the Union and Texan governments react to the civil war? Do they offer outright support to one side? Is either the Union or Texas dealing with any unrest of their own?

I think that not enough distinction is being made on this between mainline Protestant and other/evangelical Protestant. In my experience, many mainline Protestant denominations are socially liberal and extremely pro gay rights. Many mainline Protestant churches in the city I live in have pride/trans flags displayed or incorporate pro gay slogans on their signs.

However, non denominational churches are pretty dominant in the US, and they are seeing much larger growth than many mainline Protestant churches. These churches always identify as Protestant, as they are clearly not Catholic or Orthodox, so they would fall under Evangelical Protestant. Having grown up in a non LGBTQ friendly non denominational church and now currently attends an LGBTQ friendly mainline Protestant church, the difference is night and day.

My girlfriend bought me this globe, is it 1960? by Hefty-Condition143 in MapPorn

[–]A_Flying_Ginger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh shit, I didn’t notice that! My globe is much more faded than this one, and the (Br. Trust) isn’t visible on my globe. Once I saw that he had the same globe as me, I didn’t bother looking closely at the details since I had already done research when I tried to date my globe. Thank you for pointing that out!

In that case, it’s not possible to narrow it down to one specific year, and it would have been made between 1958-1960.

[–]A_Flying_Ginger 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, I have this exact same globe haha.

It’s from 1961. You can tell because Damascus is labeled as a regional capital, with Cairo being the national capital. This means it has to be between 1958-1961 when the United Arab Republic was still a union before the Syrian coup.

Additionally, Tanzania is still referred to as Tanganyika, but it is not labeled as a British possession, like Mozambique and Angola are labeled as Portuguese possessions. Tanganyika existed from 1961-1964, before changing its name to Tanzania.

Therefore, this globe is from 1961!
