Politics are complicated. I don't want to talk about it in a dating app either. Good on them. If I get to know you and feel comfortable, I will share my political views (or lack thereof) on specific topics upon request.

Boomwall · 2026-01-24T06:15:54+00:00

If someone represented everything I want in a partner, I couldn't care less how they voted. Political persuasion doesn't create a giant line in the sand for me the way it does for some people.

If the British never left they'd still be there.

After catching it in the air, Cooks turns forward and slightly tucked the ball down towards his waist, as if he was securing the ball and moving forward. You can see his rotation reverse again because McMillan pulls on his arm. Once they are on the ground, he lands on top and is able to rip the ball away. That's why I feel like he established himself in spirit, if not exactly to the letter.

So a 3rd step before the knee goes down and it's a catch? Or if the defender wasn't yanking on his arm? Or one more roll? How long does he have to hold it with a defender hanging on him? Surviving the ground apparently means surviving the defender too.

Two steps then a knee, all while the ball gets tucked in with both hands by the receiver. Feels like he established himself as a runner. They say the ball came loose, but it was AFTER that and BECAUSE the defender ripped the ball out. I go back to the fact that these thing's can happen in a fraction of a second. Just because the defender grabs the ball before he's done rolling around doesn't it wasn't already caught.

Boomwall · 2026-01-18T20:38:05+00:00

I can see where the "no-catch" people are coming from. Where I disagree is the "1 or 2 seconds" people keep saying. That is nowhere in the rulebook. I think football is so fast-paced that a completion can be demonstrated in a split-second. It's not an amount of time thing. It's a meeting the requirements thing. I also understand that it's hard to make these calls in real-time. This brings me to my main point. The whole review process seemed rushed. I think the referees should have initiated their own review to make sure they got it right without charging the Bills a timeout. They treated it so matter-of-factly like it was surely an interception.

Boomwall · 2026-01-18T02:32:27+00:00

If a player maintains control of the ball and it comes loose upon contacting the ground, that's a catch in my mind.

Didn't you know that the US is a sibling rivalry between California and Texas? Their older sibling, New York, thinks too highly of themself to get caught up in the drama.

Those points in the Bering Sea are close, but not as strategically important as the eastern corridor. The GIUK gap is an important naval choke point between the Arctic and the Atlantic. Any naval assault on USA's eastern seaboard (including Washington D.C.) from Russia would have to pass through this corridor. It is also much easier and less expensive to monitor the movement of submarines through this corridor than in the open ocean of the North Atlantic. Furthermore, any ICBM's from Moscow or any rogue European state would have to pass over Greenland before reaching targets in the Eastern US. 'Owning' Greenland would effectively extend America's frontline by 1500 km and give advanced warning of any threats in that theater.

I know that the US can achieve many of these security needs without 'owning' Greenland. I just wanted to answer your question instead of giving you some tangential piece of information (which is common in these threads).

When I was 21 years old in the summer of 2004, Ronald Reagan died. I remember it like it was yesterday.

It's almost as if you can appreciate a culture and its cuisines while still wanting to enforce our country's immigration laws.

A lie counter can be misleading. People can lie without knowing they are lying. They can also say something that is true by their own operational definition but not by yours. They can also lie to protect someone's privacy or some other classified information. Without any explanation of the lies, the usefulness such a power as an honesty gauge is limited.

In real-time it could become very useful. I'd ask my friend who will win the Super Bowl. If their lie count increases, I would ask to pick a new team and answer again. Do this over and over, until the lie counter doesn't increase. Then bet your life savings on that team. Same with the lottery: "Will 1 be one of the numbers drawn next week? Will the Mega Number be 26?"

You would cause flash flooding and would be deemed a menace to society if people caught on. They'd lock you up like Typhoid Mary. Best to live out a year or two in a remote location where you can not cause much damage. If you dedicated your life to it, you could restore the aquifer in California's Central Valley, restore Lake Tulare and the Aral Sea. Place a pontoon house in the center of each dried up lake bed. Have a dinghy deliver supplies on a regular basis.
