    Bingo. Just erasing themselves, for no actual gain. But that's how short sighted victimhood works, no matter the situation. I've accepted the change, because i don't care to get angsty about things i can't control. But it was not anything that helped anyone. I just pay attention to this...

    Well if you went and painted the Redskins logo on your face, you could solve all the issues. 😁

    First wave has to end for there to be a second one :D The experts are not really talking about their being a second wave, they see this as a constant thing until it has either died from us taking consistent proper steps for long enough, or an effective vaccine is created. Infections get worse...

    If Snyder Goes, Does it Change Your Perspective?

    And don't forget Hanlon's razor as well...they often go hand in hand with these things.

    Redskins Name Change - On Turning the Page

    Not a fan of this being lumped in with other items, or of it being framed as "enlightenment" or "acceptance". It is nothing of the sort, it is only people using the facade of being caring to do things that, in reality, help no one, and do nothing useful. Words alter over time in meaning, and...

    On Taking a Stand and Redskins Fandom

    I mean, it's more attractive than many I've seen, but sadly too complex for a mascot. Very attractive drawing though!

    Redskins Announce Formal Review of Team Name

    Halbritter is not a Chief of any native nation. He created his own company, named it "Oneida Nation Enterprises", and made himself the CEO so he could, via obfuscation, say he was chief of something Oneida. Dude's a pretender, and just as bad as the idea he is criticizing. He's gotten in...

    Redskins Announce Formal Review of Team Name

    Like a great many things, this varies from location to location, person to person. Indian is commonly used, Native is commonly used, First nation/peoples is commonly used...just varies. Just as in other minority groups, trying to pin the tail on the donkey just leaves some poor sucker stabbed...

    That's why I said problems with how they measured in both :D

    Redskins Announce Formal Review of Team Name

    Here's the problem with how studies/surveys are used in these things: I saw several red flags with how they measured in both upon first glance. First issue? They allow self-identification to determine whether or not you are "Native American". Issue with the Berkeley study? They weight based...

    Redskins Announce Formal Review of Team Name

    Well, since the Native community hasn't really been offended for the most part by any of this, maybe they are asking the offended parties. I do hope things eventually come around to the realization that getting offended is a choice, not an intrinsic value.

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    Every single person I've talked to about current events ends up with me giving them a more global perspective of societies around the world. People are so encouraged to stay in their comfort zone any more that they have no idea how the rest of the world thinks, and it makes them extremely...

    Redskins Insider:Unless Daniel Snyder changes Redskins’ name, RFK site is off the table, officials say

    Always great when people appoint themselves white knights to assuage their guilt. In spite of repeatedly being told we don't care, the morality police just have to make sure they enforce whatever they think is right. I do hope to see a day when people are taught to draw conclusions off the...

    Isn't that normally the case except for playoffs? I don't really recall seeing them showing the anthem on TV during the regular season, just during the playoffs.

    Coronavirus - COVID19

    I believe the desire at this point is to aim for quarantines targeted at known infections, and to limit asymptomatic spread with face coverings. The issues occurring with this deployment are: - not enough accurate testing available to ensure accurate targeting. - strong politicized resistance...

    Coronavirus - COVID19

    That's where it gets sticky though. As you said, it's a virus. Actions you take, such as you described, can put everybody else you contact in those actions at risk. The asymptomatic spread of the virus causes people to not even know they can spread it. That is what makes the morality of it...

    I'm gonna go with Agent K in Men in Black: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

    Coronavirus - COVID19

    It's about mitigating risk. An apt analogy I have seen recently: If somebody gave you 100 skittles, and told you only 3 of them would kill you, are you going to just snack on them and take the chance? Or are you going to just do your best to avoid the skittles? It's deadly enough, and...
