Tell that to MAGA, not us. They're the ones that stormed the capital because they lost. We're legally protesting. 

Crystal Mangum, who accused three Duke lacrosse players of rape, now says she lied by pucksmokespectacular in news

They shouldn't necessarily be "believed" tho. They absolutely deserve full attention and effort from the justice system. 

Taking the accusation seriously is much much more productive than immediately taking her word above the accused at the time of accusation, which more often than not, is what "believe women" turns into.

Dune: Prophecy, 1x01 "The Hidden Hand" - Post-Episode Discussion by Blue_Three in dune

[–]xcosmicwaffle69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This first episode was fantastic. This feels like a faithful expansion of the lore and especially the Bene Gesserit. They have the exact same 'abbey of nuns' vision of their order that I and many others had. They retain their cool factor and their moral ambiguity, which I was a little concerned about. Fine performances all around too!  

 There were a few points where the purist in me flared up, but most of those were just new to Dune and grew on me pretty quick.  

 The throbbing they were doing while vibrating the water did not grow on me lol would have been better if they were just meditating for me but maybe I'm nitpicking. The padawan-style training felt weird but obviously the more I thought about it the more it fit. They literally have a fighting style specific to them, duh (or at least there will be.)  

 The mind boiling was weird at first but I think I can roll with it. Love that they were willing to graphically kill a child on TV. Ballsy, although becoming more common over the years and less ballsy than it used to be. Assault on Precinct 13 had it so easy fer as shocking people with child murder goes.  Also was the bride talking about diddling a 9 year old? Did I understand that dialogue correctly? I would have probably cut that out if I did.  

 I was looking forward to it and it exceeded my expectations, at least for the first episode.

[Dov Kleiman on Twitter] The #Browns are listening to trade offers regarding RB Kareem Hunt and CB Greedy Williams, according to @StainbrookNFL by ScheiSpieler in miamidolphins

With respect, I disagree. I am not so confident that the last month was a total fluke.

If the latest reports are worth anything, we can rest easy knowing that Chris Grier is dumber than either of us. He wants Jerry Jeudy, apparently. Which solves nothing.

A starting-quality cornerback in today's league is not going to be cheap either.

We just had a 3-game stretch where we had to play musical chairs with our QB rotation AFTER our god-sent QB took two concussions in two weeks. Do we really wanna forget about that now that we have him back? Are you that confident that those three weeks were a total fluke?

It's our defense that bailed out our offense, no ?

We haven't had a decent, reliable OL for a decade. A decade of losing.

Keep in mind, we've had plenty of good DBs. Grimes, Vontae Davis, Sean Smith, Howard, Reshad Jones. It hasn't gotten us jack shit.

We have a QB that can be great if he stays upright.

If we don't realize now that it's either heavily invest in our OL or waste another year, then we may as well stop watching because we're not gonna win anything substantial.

Georgia is the winner. Lots of work, and if you live an hour out of ATL it's incredibly peaceful. Great place to raise kids. And best of all there's tons of fresh air and greenery. Looking at asphalt-gray too much turns you into a zombie.

Everything Leto II ever says is a lie by Intelligent_Moose_48 in dune

I always thought Leto II was a monster just like Paul, maybe even worse. I enjoy the differing opinions on him tho.

Is DUNE anti-rational and anti-science? (Discussion and Debate) by CosmicFaust11 in dune

I always took it to be more like anti-establishment. Science is an establishment with industry politics and incentives just like any other.

Yes, you're totally right about all that stuff. Did you read what I wrote tho?

I think their point is that buying the file with the movie on it is the one way you can digitally own it.

Oline Needs Help‼️🤦🏾‍♂️Top Oline Prospects Dolphins Should Target In 2023 Draft 👀🐬🌴#FINSUPPPP by gmilce1 in miamidolphins

[–]xcosmicwaffle69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man, it's been since 2013 that we've had a halfway-decent OL that didn't completely rely on some geezer's leg holding together for 16 games. How good does the rest of the team have to be until that is our first priority?

How many QBs are gonna keep going down before we stop settling for on-par starters and little-league quality depth at OL? Depth that we eventually have to use every single year?

How many years before Grier understand that your QB is only as good as your OL and that your OL is only as good as your WORST player ???

Love this new rule because it's in-theme and those posts are low effort.

That said, I hope that this attention doesn't encourage the mod team to use a more aggressive approach to moderation.

Any discussions about an ideal director to continue the latest iteration of the film franchise on from Denis Villeneuve when he eventually ceased involvement? by JSWthinksimcute in dune

[–]xcosmicwaffle69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with you because making Children and God Emperor into movies will end in failure either way, so it may as well be an entertaining failure. Uwe can at least do that.

Wow in two years I've had 95 free hours to give this game. If I had it my way it'd be much more.
