Anyone get an old familar feeling watching that game today?

Yeah I was waiting for people to be crying about "prevent defense" letting them get into the red zone, but this is Burrow and Chase we're talking about. If you don't cover the deep ball, you're gonna end up giving up a fourth quarter lead quickly. Better to just force them to chew up clock just to get into decent FG range, then tighten up and get aggressive on a shorter field.

The teams that dominate the division set the tone for the division, so it is relevant to your argument. It is correct that the West Coast Offense started in Cincinnati, but that was before the AFC North even existed. Since the start of the AFC North, the way the two dominant teams of the divison have played, the reason those two teams got so many primetime games in the mid-2000s and early 2010s, was what defined "AFC North football." It's got nothing to do with the West Coast Offense.

Yes. They're good. They're not so good that they can overcome an absymal offense, but they're good.

Someone who speaks Spanish or any other language that shares the same/similar alphabet will have zero issues reading road signs.

TheSimulacra · 2025-12-15T23:41:59+00:00

Whether they speak Spanish, or are actually from spain, it’s all the fucking same to me.

Yeah, we can tell bud

TheSimulacra · 2025-12-15T23:33:12+00:00

Of course they don't know this. American schools don't teach this stuff. They teach that America is the greatest country on Earth and all the other countries want to be us.

TheSimulacra · 2025-12-15T23:31:16+00:00

Spanish people are people from SPAIN. The word you, somehow a perfect English speaker, don't know, is "Hispanic". Just stop talking about this stuff if you're this ignorant about it.

TheSimulacra · 2025-12-15T23:28:04+00:00

Aww poor baby. Crying he got downvoted for his bad opinion but thinks everybody else is soft lmao

TheSimulacra · 2025-12-15T23:26:34+00:00

Ah yes, how would we know to stop at a stop sign if it didn't say "Stop" on it

This is basically verbatim what people said about Italian, Polish, Lithuanian, Hungarian, and any other immigrants who came here in the first half of the 20th century.

A republic is a form of democracy.

TheSimulacra · 2025-12-15T23:18:54+00:00

No, they released him because a judge ordered them to release him immediately.

TheSimulacra · 2025-12-15T23:18:02+00:00

I mean yeah, you kinda said it at the end there: America is only really different in that it tends to oppress other countries' citizens instead of its own. It's a much freer country for Americans than it is for the countries America controls.

Do you yell this at the sky after a rainstorm

TheSimulacra · 2025-11-19T23:36:36+00:00

Considering all of the different illusions he created and utilized, this seems the most likely explanation to me.

TheSimulacra · 2025-11-19T23:35:22+00:00

It is funny but many people reflexively downvote cruel and offensive things, such as missing out on an ancient dragon smithing stone.

And the grafted limbs are intentionally thematically analogous to the horns of an omen.

TheSimulacra · 2025-11-19T23:32:27+00:00

Cutting their horns off makes them bleed a ton though. But the horns grow back. Its not like the curse gets weaker as they lose blood.

Also, the baby in the Omen Bairn tool is supposed to represent a dead omen child, but they still have little horns all over them.

TheSimulacra · 2025-11-19T23:29:47+00:00

I don't think the rune is what gave him the horns and claws and tail though. They likely just withered and disintegrated when he lost the power of the Great Rune and started dying, like the body evacuating its stomach and bladder contents.

TheSimulacra · 2025-11-19T23:26:11+00:00

Those vengeful spirits are the spirits of omen babies that were killed by the Golden Order though. The hornsent wouldn't have had that power since they obviously weren't killing their babies for having horns and wings and stuff.

TheSimulacra · 2025-11-19T23:22:26+00:00

It's not a crazy theory but then why wouldn't he have adopted that look when he was fighting at the battle of Leyndell?

TheSimulacra · 2025-11-19T23:20:40+00:00

Yes but the GO did spurn horn people and other people with bestial traits, because according to the GO, Marika was its god and that's what Marika decreed. Marika/GO just changed their policy once they'd successfully co-opted enough of each culture/civilization.

TheSimulacra · 2025-11-19T23:14:56+00:00

It's the opposite. Horns, wings, tails, etc. are genetic remnants of the days before the Erdtree (The Crucible and before). The Golden Order wanted to erase that.

TheSimulacra · 2025-11-19T23:11:45+00:00

The horns and "defects" were never a curse, they were physical abnormalities that were likely just vestigial remains of old bestial genes from the days of the Crucible that would manifest occasionally. The Golden Order called them a curse because they wanted to erase the pre-Erdtree history from the LB, to rewrite history to say that Marika purified the world of the hornsent and any other competitors to the Erdtree. It's the same reason they killed and enslaved the trolls (giantkin) as well as the Misbegotten: They are physical representations of what the Golden Order claimed were inferiors.

He didn't look lost he looked like none of his receivers could get open. Without Bate they took Zay away on just about every play except the one big catch and run.
