This makes no sense. How can countries vary so much
There are countries in this world that force women to mutilate their vaginas so they won’t enjoy sex, wrap in bedsheets in 110 degree weather and never go to school.
Lots of variation in the world dude.

re: Coast Guard - swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag no longer hate symbols

Nobody should have a problem with a symbol that was around thousands of years before the nazi party adopted it and means luck and prosperity, but the majority of people are emotional and irrational.
Words and symbols change meanings all the time. Especially during major cultural and historical events. The Nazi movement was a pretty big one.
IDK man, maybe you know people who still read/write in Sanskrit but most people don’t. I don’t think we lose much by leaving the swastika in the trash can of history.

The part I quoted was either worded very poorly, or poorly thought out virtue signaling.
Are you trying to make the argument that black people shouldn’t have a problem with swastikas?
Or are you trying to argue “not just black people should have a problem with swastikas”?
Either way, this probably isn’t a point worth arguing dude. How about we just agree that people should leave there f’n swastikas and nooses at their house and not bring them to work?
I’m almost certain that I had a nightmare once that began with a very similar image.

I know this isn’t happening anytime soon, I just can’t wait for them to be relevant so I can have a reason to dead name them.
Depends on how close the candidates are ideologically I suppose.

Didn’t Belichick transfer several million dollars in real estate over to her?
If what you’re saying is the bar, just hire an escort. She’d cost way less and he wouldn’t have to go to any of her goofy hobbies.
I’m personally hoping I have higher standards for “winning” when I’m that age. :lol:

I think Elon and the other tech oligarchs are working for this outcome. A sort of neo-feudalism where they hold all the power and most of the money and the masses get a meager UBI to live on.
Exactly and I’m really not understanding how people are coming to any other conclusion.
They’re saying “everyone will have all their needs and wants provided for”. No we flipping won’t. :lol:
If AI is doing all productive work, we will get what they (the people who control the AI) decide to give us.
And that’s the very best outcome because it assumes that humans can actually control a truly generalized AI that is able to act in the world. If “they” can’t, I think the likely outcomes are grim.
There are so many “ifs” to bridge to even get remotely close to the utopia some people are convinced we’re heading.

In the post I replied to, you said this:

No one wants to work.
I raised physical health as something people also don’t like doing, yet has meaning.

Something can have meaning in more than one way. Your definition is one way. Another way is that by working, you are integrated with the society you live in. We know this is beneficial because people who can’t find work or chose not to often degenerate and suffer from diseases of despair.

Also, I haven't once suggested that someone has to hate their job in order to not want to work.
Maybe I should have worded that better. My point if someone is playing the lottery and hoping to never work again, that might not be the solution to their particular problem with the work they’re doing.
EDIT: Btw, I know this because I’ve been that guy. We probably all have had a crap job that we hated and wished it would go away somehow, even a lotto winning pipe dream. But the only realistic solution to this is to find another job.

Is your point not “people don’t want to work so the idea that work has meaning is a lie”?
If so, read what I wrote again.

I hear all the time the lie that there is meaning in work, yet people spend unreal $$ on games of chance every day just so that they can quit working. People invest and budget their whole lives just so that they can retire. It's a lie. No one wants to work.
People don’t “want” to go to the dentist, eat a balanced diet, and exercise. That doesn’t make the phrase “doing these things is good for you” a lie. Your basic desires are not necessarily the arbiter of what is or is not in your best interest.
Additionally, if one hates his current job, that doesn’t mean “win the lotto so I can stop working entirely” is the only solution.

Elon Musk is a genius. What he’s accomplished at all of his companies is comic-book level amazing.
Still, take any timeline he gives and multiple it by 5-10.
There is no way in hell work will be optional in a generation.

The most rapid progression to D1 HC was Prime. It was literally ridiculous and even he had some collegiate coaching experience at that point.
Everyone loves Big Shep but we need to give up on LSU if he’s the hire in 2025. Maybe down the road but not now.

These whatever “debates” often make me want to weep on behalf of every unborn person that will enter a world that has been partially configured by current “relationship culture”.
Im struggling to understand what the posters who think OM is being ridiculous expect them to do. Stay quietly in the cuck chair while Lane and family no-so-quietly hang out in Gainesville and BR? He hasn’t even denied he’s considering those jobs…meaningless, I know, but easy to do and he’s not doing that much. :lol:
Obviously an ultimatum is a dumb idea (and I’m not convinced that’s what it was) but they had to try to get some clarity.

Ole Miss tells Kiffin sign by egg bowl or your fired?
Do we know that’s what happened? AFAIK, nobody with knowledge of those conversations ever said the word “ultimatum”.
If OM simply asked Kiffin to tell them if he was planning to leave, that’s an understandable request considering OM would have to start their own search like yesterday.
