No, just a really good IU football team.

I can't keep up. I don't know if Goat or Stoll or NTP even bother anymore, but I just handed down a short vaycay for shit that was posted on Friday.
Of course, it was a conservative poster. I'm unduly harsh on them and libs get free rein.
Who took care of that shit this morning?
I've been on here for a long, long time and don't recall something ever posted that extreme. Maybe it has and just gets cleaned up quickly. Still don't understand how that individual is still here
Keep slamming vodka Joe, you're bound to strike humor at some point, even if via dumb luck.
I am talking about something that is possible.
I took care of that sequence this morning. Same person was off the rails Friday in the Maine shooting thread. I'm still not through that one.
I suspect that's the case. If the board hasn't been overwhelmed I can usually catch shit quick before it gets widely viewed.
No one knows how much (or how little) modding goes on here, since you plebes can't see the deleted posts. Only time anyone notices is if one of theirs gets zapped and they get notified (I don't notify) or if they just see that one they saw or posted before is now gone.
I was wondering if people get notified. I assumed so as people seem to complain often. So I guess people go back and look at their posts often?
When a post is deleted the mod can chose to notify the poster. I hardly ever do. I've done it with a new person who violates the *tard rule, but that's about it. If I delete your post I usually have a good reason and I'm not going to argue about it.
An interesting point about the long debate over slavery. As the debate is described in the history books I’ve read, the debate was always about slavery and various ways of compromise. The debate didn’t sink to personal attacks— at least as written . Nowadays, the debates usually are always about people and name-calling.
The latest and good example is Mike Johnson. Before he could take any official action as speaker, the liberal knives were out slicing him up over personal beliefs that likely won’t be part a policy debate.
This is a great post, but by far my favorite part is where you drop a parenthetical to clarify that you could not hang and be good pals with an arch-evil, fictional deity. LOL. Nice.
Those are some fake knockers.
Halloween has become my favorite holiday, because it's a holiday every woman feels like they need to dress as slutty as possible.
No they don't. Ironically, the only time I've been notified of deletions is by Bloom.
It’s voting season. The melting is up on deck to sell racial division for votes, again, right on schedule, just like last time. The removal of Confederate statues was just another item on the long list of the hate hustlers like Pelosi and Waters, who needed a scandal a day to keep Trump off balance and reactive. Black votes matter more than black lives.
As for the Palestine issue, I guess there are good people on both sides.
Once the Dred Scott decision said Congress could not confer constitutional rights on Black people, and could not outlaw slavery in the territories, or make laws freeing slaves on any other grounds, war was inevitable. It took away all potential bases’ for folks like Lincoln to ever use law to end slavery, absent constitutional revision, which was going to require war.
I always try not to measure late 1800s motives through current eyes. It’s virtually impossible for us modern citizens to accurately gauge the difficulties of freed slaves and defeated Southerners, as well as northern copperheads and white supremacists (of that day, not this day), to live together after the war.
Abolitionists and strong Unionists were seen as an existential threat for decades to Southerners. They first worried about being imprisoned. Then they worried about having all their property confiscated.
Very little about Reconstruction was capable of reuniting the people even if it reconstituted and reunited the civil governments.
Uneducated former slaves had no ability to do anything but try and sharecrop or get north and compete for unskilled labor. Even the Lincoln family had objected to having to compete with free labor before the war. Uneducated whites didn’t like competing for jobs after the war much either.
Gettysburg National Cemetery unintentionally created hard feelings because the federal government was not going to ever try and locate, bury or otherwise honor Confederate dead. Locating, burying and honoring the Confederate dead gave the south it’s first place to hang a “lost cause“ hat - who could object to widows and orphans out trying to honor and bury daddy? (If you know where to look, you can find graveyards of union dead scattered throughout the south, where freed slaves took it upon themselves to locate, bury and honor them.)
But today’s battles about Confederate memorials has much more to do with getting votes than any true concern about slavery or reconstruction. Virtue signaling all around. People act like they want to get rid of them on moral grounds, but it wasn’t really much of an issue until Trump came along. The statues themselves long ago lost any “lost cause” meaning - they became more of a way of giving driving directions than even honoring confederate dead. But all you had to do on this board to be called a white supremacist racist piece of shit was to say you agreed with Ph.D’s - some African American - who felt local committees should make decisions about what happened to local monuments, not the feds or street theatre protestors. That’s about as shallow of an issue that it really was.
Personally, I don’t give a damn about honoring any Secesh. But People who want to disrespect Lincoln, Grant, or Sherman ought be punched in the face hard before they go for their retraining at the camps.
And the Dream Team and The Squad Mods need to stop changing the subject of every thread. and then Emad, who’s proud of her, taking down the threat of banning somebody or go through a reeducation camp too. What the hell are you scared of?

i’m going to bed now. It’s late and I’m old, crotchety, surly and sleepy. I might e-race this whole thing tomorrow.

Just watched Rishi Sunak and Elon have a fascinating conversation on the future of AI. I’m as anti-government as it gets but as AI develops exponentially I believe there will be a role for Government regulation. It’s important that our leaders have at least a baseline understanding and Rishi no doubt demonstrated that and more.
Who’s managing this coming technological wave stateside? It’s going to change the way we all live.
You’re crazy man.
AI or Not AI, don't know but it was enjoyable.
I have watched that over 100 times and still can't tell if it's AI or not. Guess I'll have to watch another 100 times......
AI or Not...I guess she's a politician. I loved the comments. Someone said she singlehandedly nursed her nation back to health LMAO
