PFF is full of it. They are claiming to be able to distinguish the tiniest nuances of an incredibly complex system. Anybody claiming to do any sort of higher-level football statistics is 100% full of it. You would need like 200 game seasons to have any chance to tease apart the things they claim to.

I dunno about that - dude hit the 2nd most HRs in MiLB last year, and has been regarded as the best pure hitter in the system for the past two years. He’s a R/R 1B, which greatly diminished his prospect rankings, but the bat was never in question.

The core basic research being done to advance modern medicine is and has been done on NIH and NSF grants. Incredible technologies like gene therapy would never, ever, ever exist if not for federal research funding.

1) Goodness, my bad... I had my dates mixed up. Apologies, I’m sincerely sorry for such an ignorant comment.

1) The Nationals lost the game; the idea that this was a “formality on Washington’s march to an NL East crown” makes sense if they win, not if they lose.

The irony is, of course, that he’s right - that there are civil actions that will be brought that are going to hash this all out later.

He isn’t saying that you are the enemy; he is saying that you are the beneficiary of centuries of race-based exploitation that resulted in wealth accumulating with white people. Probably inevitable when you mix capitalism and institutional racism.

Loons don’t hoot, yo!

Or maybe it will help draw those first 1000 years of expansion out into the midgame more, prolonging that part?

Domestic cats are an unnatural predator that kill literally billions of birds and small mammals in America every year. This sounds like it’s a joke, but that’s a seriously destructive environmental impact. Most of our native species of birds are in decline, and cats are probably one of the two biggest factors in…

um what? Stannis had occupied Dragonstone since the end of Robert’s Rebellion. Dany hadn’t been there in 20 years, but it was occupied not that terribly long ago.

Get over yourself. Breeding is purely selfish, not even the tiniest bit altruistic.

I’ve been playing 4Xs for nearly 20 years now, and there is only one part of your review that I really cared about: the AI. You say they sound passive; this immediately reminds me of Endless Legend of course, with so many wonderful features and ideas..... and just absolutely crap opponents that aren’t capable of…

To all of you assholes who are cool with defunding all these domestic programs: how about we shrink the fucking military budget first? Just one goddamn time, you stupid warmongering motherfuckers? That is never up for a cut is it? Fuck all of you, seriously, if you think PBS is causing our budget issues. PBS’…

I’m sorry, but this is hilarious. What else can we do but laugh?

I’m all for free speech and liberal societies but fuck fascists and racists. These people have been instituting violence against segments of society for centuries and have caused misery and death for literally BILLIONS of people. They deserve violence themselves.

So you have no actual political philosophy other than “nobody’s solutions are perfect, so I’m going to nitpick everybody”

“If raising the minimum wage fixed things, why do they keep having to raise it?”

You are an apologist for bullshit, fyi.

Ummmmm no. The GOP is “better” at gerrymandering simply because democrats tend to be concentrated in urban areas. It’s easier to carve those up and make it look natural-ish than the inverse strategy that Dems would need to undergo.
