    Has there ever been a morally good/successful government that idolized a leader?

    Just a random thought that popped into my head while watching Chernobyl and how they harken back to Lenin, who was already long dead, so often. We have Lincoln and Washington and a million places named after them, and then there's Kennedy and Reagan, but I don't feel like we revere them. We...

    Schmoozing

    Not sure if I’m using quite the right word. There’s a team I want to join at work, and I happened to be near the boss when we were walking to our cars. I made small talk with this person for like a straight 15 mins and I felt gross the whole time. I don’t like chit chatting in general but...

    2018 Improvement over the season

    These are really simple charts, but it's another way besides record to show that the team improved as the season went on. I should clarify, these aren't cumulative. Aug/Sept includes only games played in August or September. October includes only games played in October, etc.

    Brexit

    Can someone provide bullet points for what has been going on the past year? I haven’t bothered to read past headlines and probably won’t but I’m still curious. I understand what Brexit is but I don’t know what they keep voting on or why everyone hates May. Are they voting on how to leave the...

    Tony Tuioti Hired as New DL Coach

    I guess Tony didn't get the message that spring football is supposed to be super secretive :P (no one tell him). Let's try to see who's happy and who's not, and who the rah rah guys are. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D1L5Eb8W0AEjx7y.jpg:large

    The Angry Violent Left

    The same % of baby boomers misidentify communism. This is from the same survey, albeit a year later. The people who paid for the survey to be created are going out of their way to point out younger generations' ignorance because the entire point of Victims of Communism is to make sure younger...

    Political DBag Hall of Fame

    Thought it would be good to have a separate topic so the snooty people over at the other topic don’t get their underoos in a twist. Nominate OTHusker for pulling “facts” out of his anal cavity.

    Mo Washington Spill-Over Thread

    Lots of people saying lots of dumb things in the Mo Washington topic. Nominate the guy who suggests UNL was stonewalling/covering up and could get in trouble with the NCAA over it. How does this work in real life? If I’m accused of punching a stranger and it gets reported and the police know...

    Porn

    https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/02/09/health/arizona-porn-public-health/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F I would need to do more research on it and see what these states’ claims are, but my immediate thought is that things that would indicate it’s a crisis are probably falling. Most/all...

    Nerdy things you do on the weekend now that you're old

    Or just nerdy at any age. But I remember as a teenager not wanting to get caught doing something uncool and hoping I had a good answer anytime asked me what my plans were. This is what I'm doing right now.

    The Shutdown

    We don't have a shutdown topic, so I thought I'd make one. I don't think Trump is going to give, so the Republicans will have to override the veto. Hard to imagine that happening either, but the elections are coming up. Right now they're refusing to do the right thing because their Trump...

    How do you define retirement?

    I had an argument with someone. I know the dictionary definition is that you quit working. But I think these days it means you quit your full time job and start getting social security and if you get another part time job working 1-2 days a week out of boredom you're still in retirement. Said...

    Dumbledore's hiring decisions...impact on the Huskers?

    Note: this was originally in the coach Fisher to Miami rumor thread but a mod decided it was off topic for some reason. Do we even know if he’s good yet? Damn this is like that time when Voldemort cursed the Defense Against the Dark Arts position.

    What happened to the word "humble" / "humbling" ?

    It usually feels like opposite day whenever someone uses it.

    Education

    Some in the Dems Rebuild topic are asking for an education topic. If one of the mods is bored maybe they can move those posts over here.  This is one of those topics where I can list a lot of problems but I don’t have many ideas on solutions. I’ll start with that though, focusing on college...

    Should $ be spent to recover the body of idiot US missionary

    who went to a remote island which was illegal to go to and where he had already been shot at with arrows? I’m asking because they are trying to do it. Not only is $ an issue, it would require more people to go to that island. Those people had every right to kill him, imo, because strangers...
