War Room Lounge v112: Well now I know why Sherdog hates migration.

[Islam Imamate]

So yeah, there are seemingly a lot of people who are surprisingly comfortable with the sacrifice of millions of people for ''the economy.''

Coooool cool. Cool cool cool.

One dude in here told me that as long as only 25% of the population died, he'd consider it a successful virus fighting effort.

Some people are just retarded.

Its capitalist realism. Usually when that term is used its in reference to the fact that people are unable to imagine a viable alternative to capitalism. But this pandemic shows that it goes deeper than that, it shows that many people are not just unable to imagine a permanent, alternative economic system to capitalism but that they're even unable to imagine a temporary alternative to capitalism in the event that capitalism as usual puts our lives immediately in jeopardy. The fact that some people can't even imagine some kind of short term plan B to capitalism is really telling. Its why they're focusing so much on the economy, market language is the only kind of language they have to articulate efficacy of a society so a society that willingly damages the economy, even if to save itself from a pandemic, is breaking all the rules.

@HockeyBjj @Falsedawn

Owners officially approve expanded 14-team playoffs.

I'm seriously so fucking sick of the yearly tinkering by these worthless owners looking for validation of their stations. It undermines competition and disrupts the continuity of the sport. They've already eliminated effective man coverage, downhill tackling, and any semblance of historical congruity in terms of passing stats. Now they've effective ensured that there is no tension in playoff races since nearly every team north of 6-10 will get a spot.

I get why Rustled, Aaron Rodgers, and a couple others were so pissed this CBA passed.

I felt like the nfl always had the best setup in terms of number of games/teams/playoff set up but this definitely puts a ding in it now. How’s 14 work compared to the 12? Sounds like it would make it weirder for very little reason. 12 was better. If they also add more regular season games, I’ll probably be less interested in general. 16 makes every game matter but upping the team number for playoffs makes that less true imo.

It basically makes it so that only the #1 seed gets a week off, and any team north of 6-10 gets a playoff spot.

This reeks of Jerry Jones desperate to get his team in the playoffs consistently.

It's seriously so crazy to me how he begins to look like Arnold Swarzeneggar because his impression is so good.

It doesn't matter because hockey isn't a real sport.

You lookin for a tilly, bud? Let's have a donnybrook!

I still don’t get how that would so work. Is there an extra round?

That’s a deep fake

Why always such hate for hockey? Is it because it's very CANadian?

There would be 6 wild card games instead of 4.

Probably because his team sucks.

I need to read that book. But it goes at the bottom of the pile unfortunately.

I just know that hockey fans take it seriously. It's obviously a very rigorous and difficult sport to excel at.

@MVelsor Pop quiz, hot shot, would you rather have sex with Joe Exotic or Doc Antle?

Nothing like some good'ol fashioned trolling. I approve.

Something not a lot of people know, the hardest part of hockey is the penis inspections both before and after games by the coaches.

That’s a deep fake

Just more teams in the initial round.

 

[HereticBD]

I wonder if Trump goes full asshole and makes fun of him on Twitter. That was my thought seeing it

I wouldn't be shocked if Andrew Cuomo beat him to it. He seems to really enjoy busting his brother's balls. Now I get why "Fredo" drives Chris Cuomo insane. His brother has probably been picking on him is whole life, while always being in a superior position.

 

[Gregolian]

Just thinking about that series makes me feel sad. For that kid Travis, the lady that had her arm mauled off, the other double amputee that you could tell cared a ton about the animals he worked with. People just lost sight of what they initially set out to do and became dumbfucks.

Eh, that’s not so bad I suppose. There wasn’t a huge difference between one and two unless they met in the conference game. This makes the top teams have something to fight for. Still don’t like additional teams. 12 out of 32 felt perfect.

I just wish they’d get rid of divisions.
