  1. and how do you know they need to replace them? you dont. i "know" things the same way you do: "by reading shit and making up opinions" lol. in other words, youre right, i have no idea. my only knowledge comes from reading certain stuff and then formulating my usual half assed opinion. but as to twittwr, it has been written about for a long time in many different places that as an organization twitter has an insufficient business model that has held back its earning potential. a reorg is coming. as to musk's intentions vis a vis twitter's labor force, all new management guts old management after a takeover, and the quickest way to get an increase in profit is to cut the labor costs. all signs point to mass firings/quittings. the mainstream press will gleefully report that musk is tearing down twitter as some form of revenge and that he's an evil racist white man out to endanger minorities on twitter. the right will portray him as some sort of avenging crusader for free speech rights against wokist dictators. in truth, its what happens whenever new management moves in.
  2. you dont need to replace them.
  3. twitter is a very poorly run company full of overpaid workers. musk will gut the company and make a lot of his money back that way. the head censor at twitter made $17 million last year (probably with a lot if stock options), i can imagine who the first person to get fired will be...
  4. either hutch or thibs is fine with me.
  5. i could watch the bulls lose by 20 every night. so sweet.
  6. at #2? gardner, hamilton, or walker. at #32 or #34? karlaftis or christian walker. but i trust brad holmes more than i trust my uneducated opinions.
  7. he'll say they begged him to come back. some lie like that
  8. a michigan man at #2? are you ok?
  9. and then executes us all for not praying correctly.
  10. bringing trump back to twitter qould be a gift from the gods to the democratic party. they should be lobbying musk to do that. and i think he will.
  11. maybe. spain exercised more direct control. i give more credit to the colonists than the english.
  12. btw, that's something that americans should be very proud of, even if there are other aspects of american history which seem more unsavory now.
  13. i mean, the american revolution is very important in world history, but did not have the immediate impact of the french revolution, which, as you point out, upended 1000 years of monarchy (more or less) in europe's biggest, most powerful nation and set off a series of wars and revolutions that changed europe (and inspired other revolutions all across the globe). but america was the first. and the first to establish a "modern" nation based solely on the rights of its citizens, not on a particular tribe or a particular geographical place.
  14. lions pick up tj's 5th year option. unsurprising.
  15. why isnt fulmer the closer?
  16. the one and only jose lima for me. 3 days younger. debuted for the tigers in 1994 before being traded to houston, marrying a hot wife, doing some salsa dancing, winning 20 games, then returning to detroit to suck in 2001. he also made $24 million over his career. good for you jose lima!
  17. do you want to take another tight end at 34? i doubt mcbride will be there at 66.
  18. the bulls are a nice example of how teams get exposed in the playoffs. thr bucks have totally shut them down. double derozen. that's all you do to beat them. lavine is too wild and selfish, vuc just isnt good enough. coby white is awful. ayo and pwill stand in the corner and miss 3s. caruso gets hurt. bam, bad offensive team. and derozen and lavine on defense in the playoffs is a problem. have fun signing lavine to a max extension, bulls!
  19. for the THIRD time! does lavine just hang out in club covid?
  20. i still have hope for veleno and zadina. veleno more than zadina. he's still young. at least that's what i tell myself.
  21. that wasnt how i read your post. that was how i read tater and chas's posts.
  22. the american revolution inspired the french revolution which was the most important political revolution in world history. the significance of the american revolution on world affairs should not be underestimated simply to show how cool you are for saying "america sucks".
  23. the queen draws huge crowds. charles? not so much. the next generation will. people love the royals. heck, my wife is mexican and in mexico they love the spanish royals. people love celebrity and gossip. plus, like you said, the history is a huge draw in england. who doesnt love a good henry viii story? fat ol bastard.
  24. whoa there...dont go crazy! if rogers is healthy the packers are the best team in the north and right there with the bucs/rams/niners. but after that? the eagles are a dark horse. heck man, i may put $5 on the lions to win the north on the off chance rogers gets hurt. the viqueens and the bears are bad. especially the bears.
