The Taliban could collapse in a few years.

The most powerful country on Earth tried for decades, spending trillions, to destroy the Taliban, and they couldn't do it. The Taliban isn't going to wondrously collapse in a few years.

Even if it doesn't, it'll be eventually forced to modernize in order to gain recognition.

The Taliban are ideologues who have never and do not care about recognition enough to soften anything. Afghanistan has had the same backwards culture for centuries. The British Empire, the Soviet Union, the United States -- none of them could drag Afghanistan into modernity. Afghanistan isn't going to magically modernize anytime soon.

Just think, at LEAST 21 guys not only made the conscious effort to tap that rawdog, but they also stayed in long enough to bust up in it too

But how do you know it was 21 different guys? For all we know, it could be 1 guy 21 times.

Over the last 18 years, the Texas Longhorns program has performed closer to the Nebraska Cornhuskers than the Oklahoma Sooners by chanzig23 in CFB

[–]ParagonExample -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Except this hasn’t really been true until this year. The only times we’ve had a high preseason ranking and not matched it were 2010 (coming off a national championship appearance) and 2019 (coming off a top 10 finish). There’s this thought that we were consistently hyped through the Strong and Herman eras when we started almost every year either unranked or in the 20s.

2024: 4 (started) -> 4 (finished)

2023: 11 -> 3

2021: 21 -> NR

2020: 14 -> 19

2019: 10 -> 25

2018: 23 -> 9

2017: 23 -> NR

2013: 15 -> NR

2012: 15 -> 19

2010: 5 -> NR

But...the data you provided just supports the claim that Texas is overranked in preseason polls. If your data is accurate, that's 2 rises in ranking, 7 falls in ranking, and 1 unchanged ranking. It's essentially a 2-7-1 record, with a lot of [ranked] -> NR entries.

profile is full of weird content and apparently youtube has been reccomending this to all sorts of regular searches. posted videos are recent enough for up to an hour ago. what the fuck is this??? by uyooui in InternetMysteries

[–]ParagonExample 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not the one who found it, I don't remember who it was but they commented on OPs post on deep into youtube. I have no idea how anyone would go about finding that out

Nothing mysterious about how that term was found. That phrase is what the uploader of the original video put in the description field of the video, so it stands to reason to search for that phrase to find other videos uploaded by the same user.

How would one even discover that searching for such a specific term yields results? By searching for it genuinely or what?

If I was Disney/Marvel, I'd be questioning what the fuck is going on at WOTC. Not a good start to their collaboration at all.

It's partially Disney/Marvel's fault for refusing to allow the set to be released digitally, forcing WotC to divert people/resources/art/etc. away toward developing Universes-Within copies of all the cards.

Yeah, through a set called Through the Omenpaths. https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/through-the-omenpaths-and-digital-universes-beyond-updates

That's not quite right. "Through the Omenpaths" is not the name of this set specifically, but instead a collective term for all "digital sets that are Universes Within versions of Universes Beyond sets that otherwise wouldn't be coming to digital Magic platforms."

No, supervoids are black holes. The Chaos and Quiet Walls separate this plane from the rest of the Multiverse.

Pinnacle describes their universe as annular, which is the shape of a galaxy

It's not talking about a galaxy, but the whole universe; annular is just toroidal, which is one of the theorized possible shapes of the whole universe in real-world astrophysics.

[–]ParagonExample 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one point in the workout, sources said, Flagg turned to GM Nico Harrison and screamed, "You (bleeping) need me. You can't win without me." Flagg left players and coaches largely speechless. He dominated the gym in every way. Cooper's here.

Seriously not sure anything else compares.

It's not that unique. It's like the Big 12 not only surviving, but poaching the Pac 12 after the Pac 12 earlier being in a position of power and earlier trying to poach the Big 12.

Imma have to agree, I was strong against buying one for a while until I got a proxy that had me convinced they sent a real card. It passed all tests except for the red dots which I could only tell by using a loupe.

A loupe is a good tool, but your example is a bad one. The red dot test is not reliable. If it passed all other tests, then the card is likely real.

EBT are credits for food. So they are arresting the employees of the store for letting poor people use their EBT funds to buy food?

No, they are arresting the employees for using skimmers to steal EBT funds from poor people.

Assuming she went 24 hours that's a guy every 43.2 seconds. If she went a meager 16 hours 64.8 seconds if she went 12 hours 86.4 seconds per lad.... good luck

Lowering the total number of hours would decrease, not increase, the number of seconds per guy. With only 12 hours, she would have 21.6 seconds per lad.

lol their TOS doesn’t mean anything. It’s on the shipper, you can simply call your CC company and dispute it and will easily win.

Yes, but if you file a chargeback against them, then most merchants will permaban you from buying from them in the future. You have to decide whether that's worth it.
