Just me?Just to piss you off.
You have a talent, you must be a hit amongst friends and family.
Just me?Just to piss you off.
Just to piss you off.Be right about what? That kids leave? Holy shit dude, you didn't know? Kids leave schools to pursue money at other schools? Wow, I'm such a pioneer discovering this untold truth and have to prove it to internet dipshit tough guys who troll and pick internet fights with anyone who will engage them!
So anyway, instead of running your stupid mouth again, how about answering the question: why would he stay
Yeah, most of the updates are done via computer download. The next big break through will be unsupervised FSD. Could roll out in Texas and California later this yearI don't have one but a friend of mine bought a Model 3 Performance and he loves it. He's owned a couple Porsche SUV's and a couple other sports cars and he said that even if it's not perfect, the Tesla is an amazing value proposition and exactly what he wanted.
My daughter will say not to buy a Tesla because of the company owner but the truth is that one rebel....or even 10,000 rebels....isn't going to change a thing.

My wife is looking for a new car and we just test drove the 2025 Model Y.
Say what you want, but the Supervised FSD is a game changer We drove ourselves on about a 5 mile city test drive in Bellevue. Turned on the FSD and it drove us back by itself, didn’t intervene once. It even parked itself.
Very comfortable, even for a big guy, 6-4 #230. Had plenty of room.
Any thoughts?
An Uber driver told me that he leased his because he thought there would be a technology breakthrough soon that would improve range and recharging time. No idea if that’s true or not but that’s what the man said.My wife is looking for a new car and we just test drove the 2025 Model Y.

The loss to Colorado was in double overtime. So that game was as close as it gets. We also had 12 turnovers in the game, so not too bad. The Cougs had 5 turnovers in the first five minutes and seven thereafter. LeJuan Watts had 8 turnovers himself. So, I don't think it was an issue, and I doubt Watts has a problem going forward.UNCO is a decent team. They were 3-1 coming in. They beat SDSU and only lost to Colorado by 2.
Why do you think WWIII would be centered around Europe?How many wars have broken out in Europe he last 80 years and the years prior to 1950? Have we had a third World War since NATO?
Actually getting a number of NATO countries off the asses was a big problem. Still is for Italy, Spain, Belgium, Portugal and Canada.The problem wasn't getting NATO off their asses. It's his f#cking ridiculous comments about NATO overall including suggesting that we shouldn't be part of NATO. If the cheeto-in-chief would ever figure out when to shut his mouth....he'd be a much better president.

I don't think bleeding Ukraine white, hoping Vlad doesn't hit the launch button, and hoping Putin either croaks or gets ousted and someone friendlier takes over is a great solution. $60 billion would fund 30 flight III Arleigh Burke class destroyers that would be very helpful in the Indo-Pacific. I would have said 50 Constellation class frigates but the Navy is in the middle of ****ing up that program, but I digress.
And you seem to be contradicting yourself in the bold. Getting some of the NATO countries off their butts is not weakening the alliance. Weakening the alliance happens when members pledge to spend 2 percent of GDP on defense, then don't do it while hooking themselves up to Russian gas. Makes Russia stronger too. The Europeans have every incentive to whine about Orange Man Bad and have found plenty of support in the Democratic Party and the US media for their whining. Why spend on defense when you can offer universal healthcare, 4 weeks of paid annual leave plus holidays, and a state pension?
Ask JD....you just like that "strong man" and doesn't matter what he does, you are ok with it. People voted, he is the President. At least the vaccines will not match up. Doesn't sound like kids will be mandated to get the Polio or the measles vaccine to attend school and play sports. A policy that would seem to jive with at least 40% of the country.Is that because Trump is literally Hitler or literally Hoover this week?
Just because he said it was a smart move by Putin doesn't mean that he approves of what he did. Just because Putin is a bad guy does NOT mean he is stupid. But keep on taking Trump statements out of context, it is what you do best.
From WSJ article:
Former President Donald Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin smart and criticized the U.S. response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“I mean, he’s taking over a country for $2 worth of asanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart,” Mr. Trump said during a fundraiser at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Wednesday night, according to a recording of the event posted online, contending that Mr. Putin wouldn’t have invaded if he were still president.
In a telephone interview with Fox News late Wednesday night, as Russia launched its invasion, Mr. Trump called the unfolding events a “very sad thing for the world and the country.” He said Mr. Biden hadn't done enough to dissuade Mr. Putin from invading.
“He was going to be satisfied with a piece and now he sees the weakness and the incompetence and the stupidity of this administration,” Mr. Trump said on Fox News on Wednesday night.
It is the second time Mr. Trump called Mr. Putin smart in recent days. He made similar comments during a radio interview earlier this week.

When talking about lack of trust are you speaking of Trump and his affairs he had on all three of his wives?Your first problem is thinking Trump is a victim. He’s not. There’s multiple reasons he was being investigated. The mob boss is always the last to go down for a reason.
Stormy, EJ Carroll, NY State, on and on. He’s not a victim, he’s a criming douchebag. And if you think he’s a victim and EVERYONE ELSE is out to get him…yeah, you aren’t a serious person.
I think seven figures could be a key to Mateer not staying.

He was absolutely right to put NATO on notice that they have a responsibility to hold up their end of the bargain. His problem is that because he does have a weird thing for Putin, he weakens the alliance with his rhetoric rather than strengthening it.
NATO should be putting more money in (and they have been getting better) and its not our job to save everyone. That said, we spend over $800 billion on defense each year. We have spent roughly $60 billion this year in aid to Ukraine. It's important to note that a large portion of that aid is in used equipment that we were no longer going to be using anyway. In my world view, spending 5-10% of our annual budget weakening an adversary is some of the best money we can spend. My only critique of Biden is that we should give Ukraine the weapons and aid and tell them to make the best use of it, not put artificial restraints on the aid that limit their effectiveness. Half-assing your way through a war is the best way to replicate a Vietnam or Afghanistan. The reason that Israel is so effective is that they fight to win....not to participate.
History is going to look back at the GOP and the MAGA movement and not judge it kindly. I'm no Biden or Kamala fan, but I'd also rather be on the right side of history.
Your first problem is thinking Trump is a victim. He’s not. There’s multiple reasons he was being investigated. The mob boss is always the last to go down for a reason.So tell me, Mr Serious Person, how would YOU react to a person, or organization that had actively worked to **** you over? Would YOU ever fully trust them again? What if your wife was discovered banging your "best" friend, would you ever trust them again? Try to put your TDS aside for a moment and answer truthfully.
It seems to me that Trump had plenty of reasons to not just blindly accept what the US Intel Community told him. And keep in mind that what he might say about a foreign leader for public consumption may not be exactly what he privately feels. Rather like how Biden and Harris say that each other are really great people and there is no friction between them. We all know that is a lie.
I think seven figures could be a key to Mateer not staying.I think Arbuckle could be a key to Mateer staying. Mateer may be able to save Arbuckle job.
So tell me, Mr Serious Person, how would YOU react to a person, or organization that had actively worked to **** you over? Would YOU ever fully trust them again?

The investigation got how many people busted and convicted? But yeah Trump is squeaky clean! 😂
You are not a serious person.
So, a sitting President deemed too frail to run for reelection by his own party is supposedly competent enuff to launch missiles into Russia after losing the election.
Still wanna talk about kids playing games?
lol. The investigation got how many people busted and convicted? But yeah Trump is squeaky clean! 😂Well, after a very extensive investigation, they found no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia. Investigations also determined Russia's minor social media meddling had zero effect on the 2016 election, just like their meddling in elections dating back at least to 1960 had zero effect on those elections.
Meanwhile, Trump knew that the US intelligence agencies had spied on him illegally and had worked to sabotage him. So why again would he believe them?
I think Arbuckle could be a key to Mateer staying. Mateer may be able to save Arbuckle job.Add to those, that the most amount of improvement in a starting QB is between their Sophmore to Junior year.
Add to those, that if Dickert stays, and can convince most to almost all to stay by truthfully telling them, that next year's team is a National Championship caliber team IF everybody and Mateer stays, and that how would they like to stay and be a part of a National Championship caliber team. WSU almost went 12-0, 11-1, almost had a CFP year this season. Next season if everybody, including Dickert stays that can stay, including getting transfer portal upgrades to help fill a few holes, and upgrade, then almost every position will be redshirt juniors, redshirt Seniors, returning starters that will have probably developed, progressed, become better, become even better, will be comparable to 1997, 2002, 2018, etc, talent, starting wise, and would have a even better chance then this season of both making the CFP, winning 1,2 CFP games, ABSOLUTELY DOMINATING a semi weaker schedule, etc. That's not a guarantee, but there would be a much better chance. A good enough chance, that Dickert can sell players on that chance, and the higher at risk players of leaving like Mateer can get 333k, NIL deals, Truck, etc, which could be enough to get Mateer and other at risk players of staying. Mateer could also make a serious run at Heisman, NFL, at WSU, next coming season, if he stays at WSU, that he might not do at a Blue blood. Remember Florida, FSU, LSU, even Alabama could finish at 9-3, and 9-4 by end of season, etc, so going to a blue blood is no absolute guarantee.
Add all that to the other reasons Flat named , and Mateer could very well stay at WSU.
