If you're visiting my profile from some other post, hello! I get along with pretty much everyone. That probably includes you, even if we disagree. Remember, the measure of a person isn't politics; it's how they treat others, especially those who can do nothing for (or to) them.

@HuskGuys GBR from NORTHERN California (it's almost a different state . . . also the Dodgers suck). 🌽🌽🌽

It's almost tipoff! Can we get a "GO BIG RED" from all 50 states? GOOO.... BIGGG... REDDDDD...

@joe_deering123 @robbiestacks90 @theblockspot Yeah anyone who's being honest will admit that Wisconsin looked scary at the end of the season.

@robbiestacks90 @theblockspot I don’t think beating Michigan Illinois twice MSU and Purdue on the road makes us one of the worst major conference teams ever lmao

Illinois won by 35. Purdue won by 33. Nebraska won by 29. Michigan State won by 25. Michigan won by 21. Iowa won by 6. UCLA won by 4. But Wisconsin lost to High Point.

@gambare21 @EricTNFL @MikeyOver1 I'm not sure how many Santa Clara players are force sensitive, but you raise a good point.

@todd_thacker @EricTNFL @MikeyOver1

This belongs in the louvre. Stadium sound on the craziest moment of the tournament. Chills.

Sure, but how much time can you really spend on that, and teaching it doesn't mean some 18-22 year olds in the biggest game of their life who just hit what they think is a game-winning three with two seconds left will be able to process that training in that moment, especially because the situation didn't present itself until they hit the three, which was three seconds before they needed to make the decision to foul. Even when you know what to do it's hard to put your knowledge into action within the time frame they had to make the decision.

@todd_thacker @gambare21 @MikeyOver1 Good coaches teach these moments as second nature. Be cognizant of the score and mug the inbound pass to make them shoot free throws with only 2 seconds left

@gambare21 @MikeyOver1 Yes they would have. I was just saying it's understandable why they didn't.

@todd_thacker @MikeyOver1 All true. But they would have won if they'd fouled right away.

To begin, I would sincerely caution you against attacking CLASSIC Christian arguments in your eagerness to defend the magisterium. As far as Scripture goes, I don't believe we need institutional authority to recognize it--recognizing Scripture is something the Church Universal did long before any ecumenical councils or canonization. Or would you go to Peter and say "how do you know Paul's writings are Scripture"? (2 Peter 3:15–16) 🤷‍♂️ Scripture is Scripture. God inspired it. We recognize it. The entire scope of Christendom agrees on the New Testament's contents, so I'm not sure I understand why you believe this is such a pressing issue.

@todd_thacker @CptPatriotUSA @MoJo1054 @MrCasey62 Im asking how you know. Is this the first time you've been asked to ground your epistemology. Just saying uh well guys died isnt enough.. I'm pressing you harder. So ground your claim in how you know the bible is DI and what church had authority to define the canon

The Sign of the Cross. One of the many things Catholics do “right”. Why it’s important. It: • reminds us of the 2 most important truths: the Trinity, and the incarnation & death of Christ • is an open profession of the Trinity • is an open profession that we’re members of Christ’s Church • is an open profession of our hope & confidence in God • is a memorial of God’s love for us • is a memorial of Christ’s victory over Satan & sin • is a defense against assault ls of the devil (Col 2:15) • dates back to the Early Church

@rodrigo91213801 @RokoMijic @ShamashAran @MorlockP @RealDianeYap This right here. Groups of people can have proportionally more of various traits for whatever reason but you can never assume individual members of the group have those traits. We're all group outliers in some way or another.

@RokoMijic @ShamashAran @MorlockP @RealDianeYap "actual nonwhite person" does not imply racist. Why are you doing this bizarre individual=group thing In America today whites are the least racist - which is awesome - but ofc there are plenty of non-racists of all races and there are ofc plenty of racist whites too

They had about three seconds to make that decision after hitting their own three. So they have to immediately comprehend the game situation, understand that they just hit a three and therefore should foul, and do it. Not impossible, but it's a pretty unusual situation and it's tough to process everything that had just happened, make the right decision, and implement it in that amount of time.

@MikeyOver1 Why didn't they foul? For the love of god, why didn't they foul?!

Aren't you . . . a Christian? Or am I misreading your bio? Unsure why you have so much pushback on this. This is a pretty standard argument re: why Christianity isn't just something a bunch of guys made up, as a lot of atheists like to argue. People can die for a lie, sure. But very rarely for a lie they KNOW to be a lie and from which they aren't getting much in the way of benefit. The idea that 11+ guys would not only die, but suffer separation from their communities, along with a lot of privation, seems extremely unlikely.

@todd_thacker @CptPatriotUSA @MoJo1054 @MrCasey62 And respectfully people can die for a lie if they believe hard enough. You've created a false dilemma "either its true or they knowingly lied" sounds sincere, its just wrong.

I agree, people are 100% willing do die for a faith they believe is true. You missed this part of my post: ". . . if it was a lie, the guys who KNEW it was a lie (i.e., Jesus's disciples) . . . ." Dying for a faith you believe in is one thing. Sacrificing, suffering, and dying for a faith you personally know to be fake is something quite different. As to how I know it's divinely inspired--the Bible shows divine qualities in its unity, authority, and message, and the Holy Spirit confirms that to believers. The apostolic-era Church recognized God’s Word given by the apostles, and those books have been carefully transcribed and preserved for us through the centuries.

@todd_thacker @CptPatriotUSA @MoJo1054 @MrCasey62 Lots of people are willing to die for their faith. So how do you know the canon is divinely inspired what makes it true and not the others.

@Cinaboncrusader @CptPatriotUSA @MoJo1054 @MrCasey62

@todd_thacker @CptPatriotUSA @MoJo1054 @MrCasey62 That literally answered nothing.

Tell me your favorite band and I'll tell you what kind of man you are.

As far as Muslims go, the New Testament’s strength is transparency and recoverability (there are a TON of different texts transmitted in different areas in different traditions). While the Qur’an’s strength is early uniformity, it has many fewer texts, the tradition regarding its compilation comes 200 years after Muhammed, and even that tradition shows that variant texts were destroyed. Historians generally prefer recoverable history from dispersed sources over uniform but less transparent transmission under a centralized authority, which gives the NT a historical edge. The Book of Mormon’s main challenge is that it relies almost entirely on Joseph Smith's 19th-century translation event; we have no available ancient manuscripts (i.e., the "gold plates") or corroborating evidence. And I'll just leave that right there. The NT is also corroborated by the fact that, if it was a lie, the guys who KNEW it was a lie (i.e., Jesus's disciples) were ostracized from their faith and civil community, suffered, and died for that lie as if it were the truth. Neither Islam nor Mormonism has that.

@CptPatriotUSA @MoJo1054 @MrCasey62 That doesnt answer the question. Muslims and Mormons make that argument for their book so how do you know they're wrong and you're right.

@ll_r_ps @S___Elliott That movie was SO good.

@S___Elliott Not a big hit in print or film, but CATCH ME IF YOU CAN.

Movies are that are better than the book: No Country For Old Men Goodfellas The Godfather Strangers On A Train

There are so many people in the West who don't understand fundamental aspects of Christianity. It's mind-boggling; a real failure of the Church Universal to communicate the truth of the gospel. We really need to prioritize that over, say, politics.

To back you up, I watched the whole movie (I don't walk out of movies) and it was just terrible. Couldn't decide if it wanted to be a heartfelt drama about family or a black comedy, almost got whiplash from all the tonal shifts. Worst performance of Sean Penn's career, and one of the worst performances I've ever seen. No one else covered themselves with glory either.

motivated by this, i just went to watch this film in theatres… walked out after 15 minutes. i’ve never walked out of a movie before. are you KIDDING ME???? what the hell was this utter garbage and how did it win BEST PICTURE??? ARE YOU PEOPLE INSANE

@Huskers Sacramento, California.

TAP IN HUSKER NATION, WHERE WE WATCHING FROM!?!?

@samzydeco1989 @WhitlockJason Apollo Creed wouldn't count for Rocky? 🤔

@WhitlockJason Meaning the Best Picture winner is likely not the actual Best Picture because these requirements limit the nominee list. Short list of Best Picture winners from the past that would not be eligible :

It's not the Oscars. It's the movies. The movies are absolute trash. No one has seen the trash movies. Or no one is buying that the trash movies are worthy of some major awards. Shape of Water, Moonlight, 12 Years A Slave, Everything Everywhere All at Once... All TRASH

@JkReloo2ob @gaijin0311 @WhitlockJason OBAA is NOT non-stop action after the opening. 🤣 There are a few action sequences, but it's mostly a drama.

@gaijin0311 @WhitlockJason That’s the key. Once you get past the opening, it’s a non stop action. Sex with you must be very lame.

@IMAO_ "Dunesday" is RIGHT there.

Apparently, Dune 3 and Avengers: Doomsday are scheduled to open the same day. I keep trying to make a "Barbenheimer" like name for that, but just end up with either "Dune" or "Doom."
