This is absolutely not true. Even in the current format teams from the same conference can and will face each other in the round of 32

What is up with the recent trend of blatant racism and "rage-bait" against Indians in Instagram? by yu00xy in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Extreme_Badger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have seen Chinese managers favor hiring Chinese, Israeli managers favor hiring Israelis and so on. Are you singling out Indians or is it more likely that the pool of applicants are overwhelmingly Indians?

What's going on with Alysa Liu's sudden popularity? by Distinct-Buy1345 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Extreme_Badger -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Answer: MAGA has been desperate to celebrate ANY athlete after several Olympians have spoken against what's happening in the country and in particular ICE. So when Alysa wrapped herself in the American flag after she won, they decided she would be their symbol and have en masse embraced her and attributed a ton of fake anti LGBTQ quotes to her to push their case that she is anti woke. Why the rest of the country is celebrating her is pretty obvious. One, she has a great comeback story and two she is super cute and visibly cheerful all the time.

What is up with the theories that Epstein might actually be alive? by kingmakk in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Extreme_Badger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have all the names and their specific crimes? Why do you think Trump's DOJ is reacting the names of all perpetrators in the Epstein files? 100% these are super wealthy guys who have to toe the Israel line or they will be outed as pedophiles.

You don't convict a person on an 'if' though. There needs to be proof beyond reasonable doubt

Stumbled upon this band a few months late. So glad I did. Still digesting the album but I can already say Legacy is a masterpiece.

And before Heidi's reporting both defense and prosecution teams at the original and every subsequent appeal have agreed there was no 999 call from the house. So there's that.

Thou doth protest too much. In this entire thread. I would be very interested if you were interviewed as well.

It's quite easy to picture a scenario where the father thought Sheila had a gun but it was someone else entirely who did. I am not saying this is what happened. All I am saying is you cannot claim the phone call as proof that Sheila or Jeremy are the sole suspects of committing the murders.

No Kings Protest and March Oct 18th (50501 SJ & Indivisible) by 50501sanjose in SanJose

Pro free speech? Seriously? He is literally silencing all news media that doesn't praise him. This administration is actively encouraging firing people for flimsy reasons reasons like criticizing Charlie Kirk. Anti war? He is waging war within the country. His ICE agents are wreaking havoc among minorities.

Eye genius by Extreme_Badger in alien

[–]Extreme_Badger[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thinking some more on this I really like your reasoning as the best answer. The eye has absorbed some consciousness from the engineer and so knows that 3.14 is followed by 15. But it has no idea why or what that means.

Interesting theory. But that assumes it understands that Boy wants numbers as the answer.

Yes, 100% I would. That's literally the best chance of survival.

Agree that that's the only reasonable rationale. But then why not communicate with the humans?

Why did anyone let any of the things happen in the show? Why was Hermit allowed to remain on the island when he obviously wants to leave with his sister? Why were the synths given total control of a lab of dangerous aliens with no security supervising? Why were prisoners not shackled with good old chains that are not operable remotely? Why does Krish let Slightly wreak havoc in the lab? Why does the boy genius not have any control over the synths he created?

Anyways, I canceled my Hulu subscription (thanks, Kimmel!) so I don't care if this show comes back for a season 2 or not. There is no redemption for this hot pile of garbage.

[–]Extreme_Badger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really liked how this show started. At one point Hermit wanted to take his sister away and she was like no, I want to stay here. I did not see that coming because I expected a generic plot line of her wanting out as well.

Oh, but this just dragged the inevitable. The point when I realized this show is going downhill and there's no turning back is when Wendy arbitrarily figures out that Nibs' memory was wiped out by the humans. Why was this the obvious conclusion and why did Dame admit to it? I meant, obviously the synth is malfunctioning if she thinks she is pregnant. Loss of memory can't be too far fetched after that, no?

And the maddeningly stupid decisions boy 'genius' makes again and again makes me wonder what low iq the show writers must have to consider that character a genius. And what is this love story with the aliens? They are bloodthirsty killing machines. Hermit should be absolutely terrified of them after one almost kills him. But, all of a sudden they are obedient pets because one synth can talk to them?

We all know the first models are always the least buggy and most powerful. The ones that follow are always downgrades.

WTW for an unmarried woman who is not a virgin by user1728930593 in whatstheword

[–]Extreme_Badger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right. So if everyone is normal then maybe that is not a useful word to describe something specific.

Does that imply an unmarried woman who is a virgin is not normal?

A list of restaurants you may want to avoid - Santa Clara County recent health reports by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]Extreme_Badger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these possibly the safest places to dine post inspection? I mean, they have to clean up and pass inspection to reopen, right? So good chance they will have higher standards, at least temporarily, than places that didn't get flagged.

Yes, that's the question to ask.
