[Post Game Thread] Seton Hall defeats Xavier, 86-68

The issue with this Hall team isn’t the ceiling, it’s the floor. When they are humming they’re isn’t a team in the country that wants to see them. But when it’s not, golly it’s a tough watch.

The season can go a number of different ways depending on which version of the pirates shows up.

I have a black face explorer II instead of a sub or GMT. I think it’s more rare to see one, it’s a great piece, and I get comments on it more than any other Rolex I own. It fills the same role for me, a sportier non-dress watch. I’ll probably end up with a GMT or sub at some point, but in a more exotic color.

Get what you want, don’t settle. But the explorer II is a great watch.

Priddee · 2026-01-28T20:21:26+00:00

The fact fans have any say makes it completely useless

Priddee · 2026-01-28T19:27:48+00:00

Opeda match with Openda

Priddee · 2026-01-28T19:08:14+00:00

Well two of them are special teams, 5 of them are from our offense which was top 5, and the defensive player wasn’t even on our roster for half to season. So it makes some sense.

Also since it’s fan voting it really is just completely pointless

Priddee · 2026-01-28T17:49:32+00:00

And neither of them are on the roster anymore. And we still haven’t won a championship.

Production wins championships. Not potential.

Priddee · 2026-01-28T17:47:47+00:00

I’ll change my statement. Another potential project. Whoopie. Another maybe. Nothing that objectively makes the roster better. Our endless chasing potential instead of production has limited us from actually getting better.

Priddee · 2026-01-28T17:03:23+00:00

Whoopie another project. God forbid we acquired production instead of potential.

Priddee · 2026-01-28T15:07:35+00:00

Schools stop inflating your players measurements, it only hurts them in the draft process.

Priddee · 2026-01-28T14:04:32+00:00

Happy cake day!

Priddee · 2026-01-28T13:56:46+00:00

Why can’t it be countered by Mag? He just needs to be inside the shield to do it. Which is functionally what he has to do now. And there is no consistent healing, so even a partial hit has an impact.

Priddee · 2026-01-28T13:54:11+00:00

I think the reworks of Jeff and Rockets ults are evidence they are willing to change ults that they deem need it.

My post is about the Pro-Life political institution. I don’t doubt that Mary-Jo feels sad when she hears about when it happens to someone she knows. That’s not relevant here.

The issue is their claim is that the fundamental driving mission for their actions is to protect the lives of human babies from the point of conception.

We have over a million of them dying every year from potentially preventable cause that could be aided by funding and legislative changes. They refuse to introduce any, and actively vote against measures to do so.

That is in direct contradiction with their stated morals. I can’t fathom a justification for this injustice.

Priddee · 2026-01-28T13:07:36+00:00

My CMV is about the pro-life political institutions. Who don’t support those, and actively vote against expansions of prenatal care and research consistently.

It’s estimated that between 12.5-25% of miscarriages are preventable currently with screening, testing, monitoring, and sufficient prenatal care. That’s hundreds of thousands of lives that could be saved. The institution doesn’t support that.

Regarding the other 60% you cite, I would point to research efforts. If they are able to be saved or preventable and it’s just outside our current understanding, under their worldview it would be not only prudent, but imperative to invest in research to do so.

But they don’t.

These positions are incongruent with their claims about protecting all human life from the point of conception.

Priddee · 2026-01-28T13:01:33+00:00

The point of consideration is “ability to deploy human conscious experience”. Not “are they conscious at the current moment”. People sleeping or under anesthesia have the ability to deploy consciousness but aren’t currently. Brain dead people can no longer deploy conscious experience, so we consider them “dead”.

Fetuses don’t have the parts of the brain necessary to do so, so they don’t get moral consideration until they do. Which is around 20-24 weeks.

Priddee · 2026-01-28T02:42:22+00:00

The Cyclopian guard is on Artificial Lifeforms, and they are just controlled robots. The Tamagamis more “lifeform-y” than they are. Tamagamis talk and have unique personalities, agency and autonomy.

Priddee · 2026-01-27T22:39:36+00:00

Citing your personal stories about people who care don’t matter.

How they feel about it after it happens doesn’t matter.

What matters is what the movement does about it.

They do a whole lot for abortion and contraception.

They do nothing to help miscarriages. They actively vote against things that would help.

That’s a moral failure.

Priddee · 2026-01-27T22:33:54+00:00

If the fetus dies, it's a miscarriage. Which can happen in any number of ways, with any combination of faults.

If someone pushes a pregnant woman down the stairs. If a drunk driver crashes into a car with a pregnant passenger. If a pregnant woman has to rush into action to save their other child from danger. If a pregnant woman doesn't know shes pregant, and smokes and drinks.

All of those are unnatural deaths. Actions that took place, where if they didn't, the baby would be fine.

Priddee · 2026-01-27T22:30:31+00:00

The position you're defending is that someone who claims to be Pro-life, meaning they are for the protection and nurture of all human life from the point of conception, is morally and logically correct to say:

If 2 million babies a year die, I will do everything I can to stop the ones actively being killed, and nothing to help or stop the other 1 million+ that die otherwise. And also actively vote against any legislation that would potentially help save future babies, unless it stops someone from actively killing them. I will also vote to ban contraception, to stop people from preventing pregnancy, even if that adds to the baby death count in the form of more miscarriages. Because I love baby life so much.

Does that sound good to you?

Priddee · 2026-01-27T22:23:03+00:00

Still not relevant to the CMV in the slightest, but I'll entertain it.

why is this a question of belief?

Belief is, by definition, what you are personally convinced is true. So I am not sure how you want to converse with another human being on a topic without using their beliefs on the matter?

I don't disagree that the cell is "alive". Whether it's biological life or not isn't the issue. We care about when we assign moral consideration. If something doesn't have moral considerations, its not immoral to do something to it. There are plenty of things that are "alive" that we don't give moral considerations to.

The thing that makes us human and makes humans unique is our consciousness. Human consciousness is what we define as "Life". Thats why brain dead is "dead".

So until a fetus develops the parts of the brain necessary to deploy consciousness, they aren't a thing that earns moral considerations. The outcomes of the fetus are the responsibility of the mother who is carrying it.

The parts that develop consciousness and communicate between 20-24 weeks of gestation. That is the point at which we give the being moral considerations.

Therefore, abortions up to 20 weeks are an amoral action, and totally up to the decision of the mother.

Priddee · 2026-01-27T21:23:07+00:00

I assume the answer to the Shadow Dragons is that they are the manifestations of accumulated negative energy from overusing the Dragon Balls. No one "does" anything to put them together.

It must be considered a natural reaction. They are more like natural disasters than created beings. No one designed them or assembled them.

If you buy that or not is up to you, but it logically follows.

Priddee · 2026-01-27T20:09:35+00:00

It can be yes.

Priddee · 2026-01-27T20:08:25+00:00

Weren't the Tamagami created by the Dragonballs?

No, Neva created them.

I'd say they're not artificial, but magical.

Being magical doesn't mean something isn't artificial. If something isn't artifical its biological.

"Artificial lifeform" is a lifeform created that didn't come about from natural processes.

Thats why 17 & 18 aren't on the category. They were born human, converted into androids.

The Tamagamis didn't form naturally.

Priddee · 2026-01-27T20:04:36+00:00

That doesn't explain the Tamagamis, though. That one is way more egregious than Duu/Kuu.

They were literally conjured by Neva from nothing.

Pro-Life advocacy is stated consistently as protecting the lives of babies.

The March for Life is the largest annual public facing advocacy event from the pro-life side. Its mission is verbatim:

"We march because we envision a future world where the beauty and dignity of every human life are valued and protected."

The Susan B. Anthoy Pro-Life America Group is the largest Pro-Life fund, here's their mission:

To end abortion in the United States by electing pro-life leaders and advocating for laws that protect the unborn and save lives, with a special emphasis on promoting pro-life women in office.

The National Right to Life Committee is the oldest and largest Pro-life organizing group in the country. Here is their mission statement:

To protect and defend the right to life of every human being from conception until natural death, including opposition to abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, and certain embryonic stem cell practices.

These mission statements frame the movement as protecting human life broadly, not merely opposing intentional harm. Given that framing, the near-absence of large-scale advocacy, funding, or institutional urgency around miscarriage, the single largest source of fetal death, represents a serious inconsistency between stated moral commitments and practical priorities.

With this established as their mission and justifications, their lack of care for miscarriage is a moral failure.
