re: Has the response to Kirk assassination by Dems surprised any of you?

Posted by TigerNutwhack on 9/19/25 at 2:43 pm to udtiger

I'll be honest, it's surprised me. I mean, we know how unhinged Trump makes these people so I would have expected their reaction if he died, but not for Charlie Kirk. Guess the joke is on me.

I am old enough to remember when Antifa literally stood for “anti-fascist”.. until the far right co-opted it and made it into a slur … Just like they did with Woke, which used to mean a good thing- ie being awake and aware of what is going on, not being a sheep with your head buried in sand …. As a card-carrying dyed-in-the-wool ‘above it all’ Registered Independent (#humblebrag)- Can anyone make it make sense as to why the far right lunatic fringe has turned these into slurs ? Unless you are too lazy to try to explain it, in that case then simply just downvote away.. Or do both !

No, you aren't "old enough" unless you were around in Germany in the 1930's. Antifa has always been a communist organization, so the way modern people use it as a derogatory term is perfectly understandable. I mean, communists are terrible, so an organization of them would be terrible.

You also have the origins of "Woke" wrong. It is also derived from Marx's writings, but instead of being awoken to class conscious as Marx wrote, you are awoken to your intersectional identity and where that places you on the victimization pyramid.

re: ANTIFA terrorist designation...how will it work in reality?

Posted by TigerNutwhack on 9/18/25 at 9:12 am to Powerman

Discord is just a sophisticated chat app, not a website like reddit. You could go make your own server right now, invite everyone on Tigerdroppings and ban all Alabama fans. Shutting down "Discord" is a fools errand.

Also, it's a good starting place for investigating Antifa members if you known what Discord servers they're on. Makes it a lot harder if they scatter to the wind.

I bought one of their middle tier pcs last year and have been completely satisfied. I've built my own for the last 20 years but had been out of the game for a while so the extra cost was worth it.

re: 5 year old Jacksonville boy sneaks out of house and walks to Chick fil A.

Posted by TigerNutwhack on 9/3/25 at 9:45 am to lowhound

Kids are sneakier than you expect. My oldest was 3 years old and figured out to unlock his window, unlatched the sides, pull it down, and then push out the screen and climb out and go for a walk at 9 o'clock at night.

When the cops showed up at my house we had no idea he had snuck out. Little punk has been in the back of a police car before his 4th birthday. It's funny now but scary at the time. That window also got bolted shut, never to open again.

They could come out flat for sure. But that isn't what I think is going to happen. I really believe this team is going to be excited to play in Tiger Stadium Saturday Night and they are going to air it out offensively.

Think about it like this, for any player on this team this is their first time coming into Tiger Stadium after an opening game win. I think they'll be loose and fast and dominant. Pressure is off, but all their hard work and mentality has been validated. Hope I'm right.

re: Amy Adams & Aaron Pierre join Shawn Levy's Star Wars: Starfighter film

Posted by TigerNutwhack on 8/29/25 at 5:36 am to DMAN1968

As a kid I spent so many hours playing X-Wing, Tie-Fighter, X-Wing vs Tie-Fighter and X-Wing alliance. Besides wanting to be Luke Skywalker, the next thing kid me wanted most was to be a fighter pilot in the Star Wars universe.

I've been very apathetic about Star Wars outside of Andor since the Last Jedi, but if this movie gets it right I could see some of that apathy melting away. I dont have much faith, but there's always hope.

Weston Davis must have really shite the bed on Saturday night or Curne must have really shone. There was no hint of that position being a battle last week from what I remember.

re: Significant Change Up on OL Today

Posted by TigerNutwhack on 8/18/25 at 12:25 pm to JimTiger72

Yeah I thought all reports were Weston Davis was having a monster camp. It could be just trying to get Curne first team reps to get him ready in case injuries happen. Unless this holds true for a few more days I dont think I would read too much in to it.

re: The Coach O hate...

Posted by TigerNutwhack on 8/18/25 at 12:10 pm to dukesilver72

I certainly dont hate him. His meteoric rise and fall is the most Orgeron thing that could have ever happened. He sucked his last two years and deserved to be fired for his on and off the field issues, but I'll always be thankful foe 2019.

Sitting in the student section as an LSU freshman after losing to Ole Miss in 2001: "Saban is terrible, he's never going to win anything".

I may have been more wrong at some point in my life, but I certainly can't recall it.

My heart says 8/10. Im ready to be hurt again.

re: Any RiffTrax/MST3K fans? What are some of your favorites?

Posted by TigerNutwhack on 8/7/25 at 3:54 pm to Zap Rowsdower

My favorites from back in the day were:

Future War
Hobgoblins
Quest of the Delta Knights

The Rifftrax of the Twilight series is also amazing. I've got synced versions burned to DVD's and bring them out regularly.

re: Anyone Slightly Concerned About the OLine?

Posted by TigerNutwhack on 8/6/25 at 10:18 am to Draco Malfoy

"Slightly Concerned " is the only proper amount of concern anyone should have at this point. They've got the physical talent along the line. Consistency seems to be a bigger problem, along with Gooden apparently just eating Thompson's lunch.

If the D-line is as good as we all hope it is, then "Slightly Concerned " becomes "Not Concerned" IF the o-line starts playing consistently.

My 7 year old daughter put this on a few weeks ago, and I didn't know what it was. I haven't sat down and watched the whole thing but Ive certainly caught it all in the 15+ times she's watched it since. But damn if it is beautifully animated and the soundtrack is certainly catchy (she's been belting it at the top of her lungs every morning).

Definitely seems like Sony has been knocking them out of the park lately. This, Mitchell's vs the Machines, and the Spiderverse movies are as good as anything animated that's come out the last decade from any studio.
