The divide between sides is tough enough to fix but even if everyone tomorrow suddenly agreed on the country's direction how do we fix the legal foundations of everything from environmental regulations that reward those that have the means to navigate it and not those that have the best ideas or a prison system that allows violent criminals to walk free while filling cells with non-violent offenders that would have served society better with thousands of hours of community service fines and jobs that allow them to pay taxes.

This is not an exhaustive list of the issues obviously and just scratches the surface but I legit have no real answer and would like to see those that do have a discussion.
The "journal"

quote:

The association's Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (JP&S) was previously named the Medical Sentinel from 1996 to 2003 and masquerades as a legitimate scientific journal. It is not listed in academic literature databases such as MEDLINE, PubMed, or the Web of Science. The quality and scientific validity of articles published in the journal have been criticized by medical experts, and some of the viewpoints advocated by AAPS are rejected by other scientists and medical groups.[67] The U.S. National Library of Medicine declined repeated requests from AAPS to index the journal, citing unspecified concerns.[67]

As of September 2016, JP&S was listed on Beall's List of potential or probable predatory open-access journals.[68] Quackwatch lists JP&S as an untrustworthy, non-recommended periodical.[69] An editorial in Chemical & Engineering News described the journal as a "purveyor of utter nonsense."[70] Investigative journalist Brian Deer wrote that the journal is the "house magazine of a right-wing American fringe group [AAPS]" and "is barely credible as an independent forum."[71] Writing in The Guardian, science columnist Ben Goldacre described the journal as the "in-house magazine of a rightwing US pressure group well known for polemics on homosexuality, abortion and vaccines."[72]


quote:

Publishing of scientifically discredited claims
Articles and commentaries published in the journal have argued a number of scientifically discredited claims,[67] including:

That human activity has not contributed to climate change, and that global warming will be beneficial and thus is not a cause for concern.[73][74]
That HIV does not cause AIDS.[75]
That there is a link between abortion and the risk of breast cancer.[8]
That there are possible links between autism and vaccinations.[8]
That government efforts to encourage smoking cessation and emphasize the addictive nature of nicotine are misguided.[76] In the fall of 2009, economist Michael Marlow published an article in AAPS' journal arguing that tobacco tax would decrease public health when people "switch to higher tar and nicotine brands as they smoke less."[7


Yep. Ill even post a little right here but no one will read it....

I agree he doesn't have to be tarmacd and embarrassed but he sure has been an embarrassment for Tiger basketball fans!


The only embarrassment is the contract and the the process that brought him to LSU. He by all accounts is a solid guy that is simply not good enough to coach LSU to success in the SEC. There's a long list of coaches that are successful where they are that this is true of. His value to LSU right now is that he will keep working and presenting best he can despite the shite situation and knowing there is a solid chance he won't be here next year while LSU talks to candidates and works on getting them here.
Sounds like the stream actually worked well this year but I still have no intention to purchase until they have a proper streaming app on roku or firestick.

If you are going to charge 30 bucks that is the minimum service needed. Fricking louisiana high school athletics has an app for roku to stream live games for free so no reason D1 doesn't, especially if they are trying to grow a legit service.
The biggest problem with socialism/communism as an ideal is that it pretends that everyone is giving their best effort which is complete bullshite. It says things like "food is a human right" which is easy to agree with if you believe that everyone receiving food benefits are actually giving their best effort to society but still cant make ends meet. Again, bullshite. The problem we have is that so many people that believe in the ideas of socialism also believe in the bullshite of "you are enough" "you are perfect the way you are", etc which leads to apathy and laziness.
My new fear is getting schooled in basketball by a child who can't even reach the dial on their locker

flip the field


Such an underrated team skillset in today's game. People keep harping on if the defense will do better against running qbs when a big part of that is not going 3 and out and not giving the opposing teams short fields to work with. Put pressure on an offense to go 70+ yards and NEED TDs every drive instead of FGs and that running qb will naturally become less and less effective.

Random unrelated comment…. But one of my most-recurring dreams about school is forgetting to drop a class before the deadline to get a W.

Even though it never happened in real life to me, for some reason I dream about it frequently


Mine is a similar dream except my dream (anxiety nightmare) is that I enrolled in a class and forgot about it until sometime around midterms and suddenly am trying to catch up with no hope of doing so. I've had this recurring dream at least a couple times a year since high school. I'm now 37

Bro, I haven't been this excited about LSU Football since before the 2023 season. Sooooo.....


In general at a minimum LSU should be in in the playoff 1 of every 3 seasons and should never be "eliminated" before the last 2-3 weeks of the season.
Have to get to the point that the players are signing contracts 2 and 3 year contracts with obligations that they need to meet along with some backbone from the ncaa in making them maintain a real student athlete status and some restriction to transferring.
If Chambliss wants to come and lane wants him then he is the obvious choice. A year in lanes offense would allow for next year's team to hit the ground running with less learning curve as a whole.

If he did this better he would be a take...
2011 no doubt. History literally would be re-written as far as Saban, Miles, and the Alabama/Saban Dynasty.

Hard to understate how that game springboarded Alabama and started a weird grindy decent for the Mad Hatter.
Very much enjoyed Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. The view is unmatched compared to others I've been to (Tuscaloosa, Oxford, gainesville and college station) and the fans around us were a lot of fun even though LSU spanked that arse
The same reason no one watches competitive Brazilian Jiu Jitsu compared to MMA. It is an inferior product to watch entertainmnent-wise. Americans enjoy their entertainment but those with the means to go to games and by the merchandise have limited capacity of time and money to enjoy it and would be dumb to use that capacity to watch an inferior product.

If time and money were no issue anyone could get rich on anything they enjoy doing.
The Meow Wolf is a pretty unique experience. My wife wanted to check it out last time we were in Houston and I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the experience as well.

Yep. I thought we were headed for the dark ages and honestly barely cared after this season.

These past few weeks have been insane. I was one who thought at the beginning of the season BK had us on a good trajectory and it really felt like the last straw for my Fandom that the team didn't just lose some games but was just not fun to watch even when we won. Outside of some defensive players the team looked uninspired and like they were getting chewed up by the grind like us fans.

Lane has me truly looking forward to next season and has brought some of that magic back for me that I thought may have been ground out of me for good by the new landscape if football.
The Ole Miss game suddenly got easier :lol:
