I’ll answer for you. Because conservative internet tough guys only exist so they can get a reaction from others. If others aren’t there, their existence is invalidated.

As opposed to the people who feel invalidated if everyone doesn’t agree with them?

Dum as a stump

People are breaking down on TikTok because they just realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act.

The heartbreaking part? So many have pre-existing conditions.

One man admitted he voted for Trump without knowing it was Obamacare that allowed his mother with stage 4 cancer to get treatment.

This is what happens when misinformation wins out over facts.

I understand the data, the user base of X now reflects the U.S. population.
Twitter suppressed conservatives.
Elon bought Twitter and ended the suppression.
Democrats flocked to bluesky because they want an echo chamber to ‘feel good’

YES /NO CONTEST WEEK #11: IOWA AT MARYLAND

Obviously Oblivious
Sorry for the late posting but real life has a way of dominating my time lately.

Here's this weeks questions:


1. Iowa continues to yield very few points per game, 18.2, which puts them at #15 in the country. Will Iowa allow Maryland to score 17 or more points this week?

2. Iowa's offensive output has definitely been upgraded from last season where they were at the bottom of the FBS at 15.4/game. This season's output has nearly doubled at 29.4/game. Will the Hawkeye's score 28 or more points against the Terrapins?

3. Maryland is only yielding ~115 rushing yards per game this season, 29th best in FBS. Will the Hawkeyes rush for at least 150 yards in this game?

4. Maryland's passing output is a very respectable 305.7 yards/game. Will Iowa allow over 220 yards through the air tomorrow?

5. Maryland sucks at pass defense, allowing a conference worst 262.7 yards per game passing to their opponents, 121st in FBS. Can Iowa somehow take advantage of this weakness and throw for at least 200 yards against the Terrapins tomorrow?

6. Iowa is currently favored by 4.5 points tomorrow. Will Iowa cover the point spread and win by at least 5 points in College Park?

7. Iowa has been penalized on average 29.7 yards a game, #1 in FBS. Maryland has been penalized 63.5 yards/game. Will Maryland's penalty yards tomorrow be at least twice as much as Iowa's penalty yards?

8. Will Iowa cause more turnovers tomorrow than Maryland?

9. Iowa's freshman punter is pretty good if you haven't noticed. Will Rhys Dakin pin the Terrapins inside their own 20 yard line at least twice tomorrow in the punting game?

10. Will Iowa record more QB sacks tomorrow than Maryland?

Tiebreaker: Kaleb Johnson total rushing yards

Good luck everyone and Go Hawks!

Just for fun I took a look at total points accumulated through the first 10 weeks, here's the current standings at the top of the list with 50 or more points:

@Obviously Oblivious - 62 points
@HawkPT - 61 points
@the24fan - 59 points
@Smalltownhawkfan 1 , @IAFootball#1 - 56 points
@Cougar_80 - 55 points
@AckHawk80 - 54 points
@qrtr , @Dauminator , @GeorgePeeples - 52 points
@rfgiowa , @MeetTheFerentzes , @QChawks - 50 points

I don't think i'd put you in this category, but there are those that confuse ritual with doctrine. Various christian sects have rituals, just as they exist for a whole variety of civic events (national anthem before a football game?). A ritual is not magic. But what a ritual is intended to do is remind you of something underlying it that is, in fact, important. For example, kneeling is more simply recognizing the reverence for God (and particularly so during the communion rite, where we believe in His presence). Just as an anthem during a football game reminds us of the freedoms which allow us to recreate, and standing for it underscore that.. In either case, if you don't follow it, you don't suddenly burst into flames, but you're probably missing something good too.

I appreciate your posts @Aardvark86 , I have been a fan since The Master and Margarita......

I think maybe a simpler version of what I am implying (or trying to imply is....and I am married to a Catholic by the way and have gone to more Catholic services than any other) is I guess it always kind of bothered me the use of "ritual" or doctrine or whatever during services seems like more of a cover up or a way to check a box for some (definitely not for all) to say "yep i am a good Christian", but I guess in my simplistic view, if I spend time each week listening to the gospels while driving to work and/or having self reflection on what they mean to me, in some cases that is viewed as "not as good" as the every Sunday church goer (regardless of if they are getting anything our of church or not).

So ultimately the "based on Christ's teaching" or implication that todays Church is definitely how Jesus wanted us to do it is ignorant.

I have zero issues with anyone that likes it....if its what works for them great, I just don't like when implications are made so definitively on something that honestly none of us truly know the right answer

i'm not sure i'd define the two as being mutually exclusive. but as i said, throw the bums out if you don't like it. for now, they've got the keys to the car, and it's not like it comes with some sort of breathalyzer lock to it when they took the keys.

Pretty difficult to throw the bums out in Iowa right now. Unfortunately many that would be considered traditional Dems are leaving the state for employment so Iowa is pretty solidly Republican right now.

LNG exports to Europe have increased dramatically since 2021. Since the Russia/Ukraine war started, two-thirds of US LNG exports have gone to Europe.

Europe has already been buying LNG from the US.

If things go the way this new administration wants, they will have Russian sales down below 10% total in the EU.....that is the end game for sure.

I always wondered if the Earth is billions of years old, why hasn’t the Earth been pulverized into oblivion by asteroids? The last known major hit was 67 million years ago. Say a planet killer only comes around every 100 million years, then we should have been hit hard 70-80x by now rendering the planet into space dust.

Maybe we are just that lucky…but what are the odds of that?

if you are right, why would any planets exist? they'd all be pulverized into space dust
