Props on the maps

I’m really glad they’ve been putting maps up more recently. They kept saying the name “Diego Garcia” and without that map I would’ve been wondering “who da fuck is that?”

I think the guy or guys who invented WAR should have to come on ESPN, Baseball Tonight or Sportscenter and defend the metric.

I don’t like WAR and don’t think it should be used, but I’m not attacking it. I think they should explain it to everyone equally what it means definitely. I’ve seen multiple ways to describe it and what it calculates. I was told it calculates: how many wins a player is worth over the average player, how many wins a player is worth at any position and how many wins a player is worth in a season. I’ve seen the math and it doesn’t make me any more comfortable with the stat.

How did Cal Raleigh have less WAR than Judge last year when he was the best catcher in baseball and then this year PCA has a higher WAR than Shohei this year? If defense is extremely important, wouldn’t Cal have had a higher WAR than judge last year? If advanced offensive metrics are more impressive, wouldn’t Shohei have a higher WAR than PCA this year? Catcher is more valuable than outfielder but Shohei was a pitcher.

Do you consider Kristen Stewart a “Gay Icon”?

Not in like a political way. More in like a “omg I love this bitch!” Kind of way. She recently said that she loved being a “gay Icon” and I’ve always seen her as just the “mediocre actress that cheated on her bf with the married director”. I thought gay icons were more like Ru Paul, Lady Gaga, Caleb Hearon, Madonna, Elton Jon, Freddie Mercury.

Also, like that girl from the movie Stick-it. I could see that role causing bi-panic. But Kristen Stewart is just kind of…you know?

Any body having trouble with your frigates?

I’ve been having trouble using my fridges for missions. My system always crashes. I think it’s because I maxed out my amount but now I can’t even go into my freighter to reduce my number without it crashing.

“The regime has to change, you may not have a regime change, but the regime has to change.” - Marco Rubio 2026

What does that mean Marco? You want them to play nice after blowing up two of their children’s schools? I can’t believe he’s complaining that Iran is bombing during negotiations. This is a step past hypocrisy.

I don’t know what to do when women tell me they’ve been assaulted.

Boneless chicken thighs. Frozen Veggies, white rice. With shredded cheese, sour cream, spices and BBQ sauce.

I’ve had a lot of female friends in my life. I know a lot of my friends have said you can’t be friends with the opposite sex. I grew up with a sister so I know that’s not true. But, I also grew up with a father who once attacked my mom and I tried to physically stop him, so I’ve always been a “soft” kid. But since I saw my father do that, I’ve gotten protective over females in my life. Sometimes I feel I’m over protective. This brings me to 2 instances.

  1. An ex once told me she was assaulted while in college by a guy. A friend of mine and I planned to drive up there and break his legs with bats. She told me I was “doing too much.”

  2. I had a friend assaulted in college by one of my other friends boyfriends. It wasn’t rape but it pissed me off. Enough so that while in a car on a long drive he kept poking my nerves so I threatened to stab him. I was told in the car that I needed to relax and what I said was “not ok”.

I’ve suggested just going to the police I’d go with them. And I don’t want to be a simp. But I’m not the type to do nothing.

Can someone confirm what Saagar was saying in the first block today?

Did Saagar just go on a whole speech about trains? I guess Saagar…just wants the trains to run on time.

I’ll see myself out.

Do you think we’ll be dragged into WW3?

With Ukraine trying to tie their war with Russia to the US war with Iran, do you think we’d attack a Russian oil vessel? We’ve seen Ukraine attack an Iran vessel with Russian oil. Do you think a Russian vessel could be loaded up with Iranian oil (or pay an Iranian toll)and that would lead America to attack it?

KLA interview

I’ve been incontact with a KLA interviewer for about a year. Last year I got to the first interview with two people. When the recruiter contacted me a week later they told me I needed to finish my degree. This past may I finished my degree. How long do you think the interview process will take to get the job if I get it? Any chances they’ll push me to the front of the line? Specifically the Ann Arbor, Mi location.

Edit: recruiter originally reached out to me on LinkedIn.

Privacy is complicated. I’d love to hear Saagar, Krystal and Ryan’s takes because they’re parents. (Trigger warning)

There’s a story by a local Michigan news station out right now that should be being looked into. Physicians assistant was just arrested because he uploaded child porn to his Google drive.

https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2026/07/21/how-google-drive-upload-led-to-metro-detroit-physicians-assistant-facing-child-porn-charges/

On one hand: Fuck him. On the other: Google can look at, automatically flag and report you to the police any kind of crime.

Obviously Google is looking at everything you look up in search. You’re a dumbass if you upload your crimes to a Google drive. But, if it’s your private drive, should they be able to look at your private photos? This should be a massive talking point when it comes to privacy especially with flock cameras now all around us. But for some reason our debates are centered around Trump and this stupid war and Israel. I’m a big advocate for privacy, but I cannot defend child predators. These are the type of debates that should be all over the news.

Do you think JD Vance is tainted?

Completely get rid of JD’s personal politics. Do you believe if he became president, he’d publish the full Epstein files? He’s obviously had to swallow a lot to become the VP. He said on Rogan, there isn’t anything really in the documents that’s important that hasn’t been released. Do you think he’s lying? And if so, if he became president, do you think he’d release the files? Or, do you think he’d feel he’s capitulated so much to sugar coat how the administration released the files so far he won’t do it? At this point do you think he’s complicit? Is he now a major part of the cover up and conspiracy?

IBM

IBM just had its worse day on record. Losing 25% of its value. Can someone tell me (sarcasm) is that the same IBM the US government invested in earlier this year? I just checked, technically the US tax payer didn’t lose any direct money. But, their loses compared to the government’s investments is the equivalent of each US tax payer losing $1.

AI chip stocks are fluctuating. Doesn’t mean the crash is here or will ever come. But talk about the wrong time to buy chip stocks. If the US government is looking to keep investing in chip stocks wouldn’t now be the time to buy the dip? If not what happens to the value of our initial investment?

I believe in government investment in the private sector. I just think we chose poorly.

I think Lindsey Graham was a hero…

The way he was able to show America that gay men can want wars too. Not only that, he was able to want war without pushing all of that gay stuff in your face. He truly was a gay icon. The gay wario to Pete Buttigieg’s Mario. The way he was the Luigi to Tim Dillion’s Mario. How masculine and brave was it of him to suggest you send your kids (not his cause he doesn’t have any) to war.

Platner could’ve survived with either the assault allegations or the Nazi tattoo, but not both.

But is that a good thing? Both of those things sound like symptoms of bad decision making. And it doesn’t sound like it’s just one accuser either. That being said. I hate the democratic establishment just like Ryan. But we shouldn’t just “find our own Trump”.

Breaking Points should do a story on the Gordie-Howe Bridge debacle.

You want to see real corruption? Canada built us a brand new bridge for free. It’s called the Gordie-Howe. It was supposed to revolutionize trade between our two countries. The thing is, we already have a bridge to Canada from Michigan, it’s called the Ambassador bridge. It’s older, smaller and privately owned. That last part is the kicker.

The owners of the Ambassador bridge (Moroun family) are a billionaire family who have fought the construction of the Gordie Howe for years. Finally, they completely lost all ability to stop the building of the Gordie Howe, so after it was COMPLETED, the owners reached out to the Trump administration, paid the president and got Trump to keep the bridge from opening. It was supposed to open early this year, but now the Trump administration is trying to muscle the government of Canada to give them a higher percentage of profits generated by the bridge.

The original agreement was that Canada would build the bridge FOR FREE and keep ownership for 20 years. After it collected the 20 years of tolls we would split ownership of the bridge.

Saagar admitted defeat too soon, his prediction on gas might still come true.

As a Saagar hater (I don’t actually hate him) I realize that with the strait closed again and Trump saying there is only 4 weeks left of the strategic reserve, his prediction of $5/gallon gas might still come true. Saagar admitted defeat too soon. Trump also shouldn’t have admitted that there was only 4 weeks of gas left.
