ZooeyModeratorAlso…”Here’s Winning Advice for the Democrat Party” by some Right Winger
ZooeyModeratorAvid Game Pass user here . I got the app on Amazon’s Fire TV. I love it! Really works well on my Samsung UHD 4k. I have a digital antenna and fairly fast internet but no cable and no dish. Also have Sunday Ticket’s streaming service but they won’t let you do that if you can have dish. Game Pass on the Fire tv is way better than on my pc.(Ancient pc newer tv) . You can also cast from your phone to Tv.
Is that a subscription? What’s it cost to set this up? Are the games Live, or released later?
I seem to recall having Game Pass long, long ago, and watching the games on Monday. But I don’t have to settle for that now, so I don’t do it.
I would pay to watch the games if it was a “reasonable” amount, but I’m not paying whatever it is to have a dish – $60/month or ? – and then another fee on top of that for Ticket when I don’t watch TV much apart from football.
ZooeyModeratorWhen I don’t get the Rams over the free airwaves, I go to “Reddit NFL stream.”
I have used a number of sites over the years. The quality has been sketchy. The reddit streams are typically high quality, and don’t lag. For the most part. I use a hdmi to connect to my tv.
The stream is a couple of plays behind Live, but…you know…it’s free.
October 17, 2019 at 5:37 pm in reply to: Falcons game TV Map + question: how will the Rams do this time? #106849ZooeyModeratorThe Rams ran straight through SF until they fell behind, and had to throw.
Just sayin’.
There are ways to keep the DL off of a QB, and the best way is to play ahead, instead of from behind.
ZooeyModeratorI am more demoralized by the loss of Noteboom, the IRing of Talib, and the regression of Havenstein than I am the loss. And losing Kiser wasn’t good.
There are ten more games to go, and a lot can happen between now and December. This is a good team that hasn’t found its rhythm. Whether they will bounce back and compete or not…well…that’s why they play. Nobody knows.
October 13, 2019 at 1:57 pm in reply to: non-Rams NFL tweets + some college FB too … 10/13 thru ? #106609ZooeyModeratorI hate to break the news to you two Seahawks lovers, but Baker Mayfield is outplaying your fantasy man Wilson right now.
20-9 Browns.
ZooeyModeratorIf some entrenched professionals got appalled at certain executive actions in one incident, that’s one thing. Condemning that because the CIA played dirty tricks in central america doesn’t strike me as all that relevant.
Whose condemning it?
I may not be reading this closely, but I don’t think anybody is saying that the fact that the whistle blower isn’t a single, lone hero, but is instead of collection of people within the intelligence community with enough support (or power) to throw this out there with impunity means that anyone is calling these revelations illegitimate.
All anybody is saying is that this isn’t a whistle blower in the same sense that Snowden, Manning, Drake, Binning, and Kiriakou were.
ZooeyModeratorDeep State to me is a term that refers to career government people, with the Intelligence and Security arms being the most powerful. It is people who work for the government, but don’t face elections, many of whom have long careers, and therefore have long, institutional memories. They think much longer term in their strategies than elected officials, who are more short-term thinkers and planners, and more focused on themselves, rather than on institutional goals.
There is a deep state. I mean…there just is.
The fact that the right wing lunatics think that the Deep State is a monolithic, anti-American, liberal, hellhole bureaucracy is about as important to me as the Flat Earth Society.
I think in most of the deep state, the actors basically do what their missions tells them to do…study and inspect agricultural issues, serve environmental needs, produce reports on diseases and auto accidents, examine educational practices and outcomes, and so on.
The CIA and NSA, and to some degree other agencies like DoD, TSA, ICE, FBI, etc., serve the long term interests of the rich and powerful – amorphous financial interests.
October 12, 2019 at 2:54 pm in reply to: summary of recent events surrounding Ukraine scandal #106576ZooeyModeratora number of career officials are willing to spill what they know about it
That’s what wv and I are talking about.
ZooeyModeratorNobody here is claiming that everybody in the Deep State is involved in this, or that they all agree. I would think this might be around half a dozen people. Probably fairly high up in the food chain.
ZooeyModeratorI’m with wv. I think his interpretation of Taibbi is correct.
You look at all the whistleblowers…the ones who blow the whistle on what the government or corporations are doing. They go through hell.
This whistleblower was greeted instantly as a hero. And that would not happen unless the Powers – the intelligence community and the billionaires – saw the report as being a good thing. If they saw it as a bad thing, it would have been reported that way…just like every other whistleblowing event.
And…the stuff IS true. It’s not fabricated. Trump has admitted to it. It’s true. Like wv says…they usually just sit on this stuff.
The fact that people in the Deep State are complicit in this doesn’t exonerate Trump. He’s guilty. And it’s no surprise many actors in the Deep State don’t like his erratic behavior, and the damage he is doing to the stability of international relations, and economic outcomes. There IS a deep state. Just cuz Trump believes in the deep state is some delusional way doesn’t change that fact.
ZooeyModeratorUm.
They don’t lock people in steerage, and there are a sufficient number of lifeboats.
Wow! That was not hard.
ZooeyModeratorI think it’s an impeachable offense. I think he has committed a lot of impeachable offenses. And remember, an action does not need to be criminal to be impeachable.
I want him impeached – not for any particular thing his done – I want him impeached because of who he is. I have asked myself many times if I would support him if he was a Leftist. And the answer is No.
He is psychologically unfit for office regardless…. He is a menace to people everywhere.
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorYeah. Once Taibbi pointed that out, it just seemed obvious.

ZooeyModeratorThat video was not made by the Sanders’ campaign. It was just some guy, I gather.
ZooeyModeratorCowherd says Goff looked “like Brady in a playoff game”.
Wow.
I love that comparison.
As Pats fans like Zooey will tell ya, that’s about the highest praise a QB can get.
Oh, look who’s back.
Got over your hangover from celebrating the Seahawks’ victory?
ZooeyModeratorNot Watch.
I will probably turn the TV on two or three times during the day, for a combined 7 minutes of viewing.
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorTheir next opponent is the 49ers, who play on Monday night. That’s not going to sit well with them.
But I’m okay with it.
That was a better game than the Bucs game, obviously. The Rams lost that on a missed FG. That’s it. A couple of bad breaks were the difference in this game. And that penalty that pushed them back right before the FG could also be pinned as the reason they lost, I suppose…if you are a believer in one play making the difference in the game.
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda.
ZooeyModeratorA classic example of transference right out the text book.
What a fascinating clinical case study you would make.
“Transference describes a situation where the feelings, desires, and expectations of one person are redirected and applied to another person. Most commonly, transference refers to a therapeutic setting, where a person in therapy may apply certain feelings or emotions toward the therapist.”
I don’t like your definition. It leaves out the criminal aspect of it.
ZooeyModeratorI’ve got a 12 hour shift tomorrow beginning at 4am so I won’t be able to stay up and watch the Rams tonight.
That means the rest of you are going to have to pick up your game.
Somehow you’re going to have to come up with enough mojo to make up for my absence, and will the Rams to victory.
Gawd knows it won’t be easy. But we’re Rams fans. If we cared about ‘easy’ we’d be Pats fans.
Your lies are as transparent as any teenager’s.
All of that was “double-speak” for, “I will be rooting for the Seahawks.”
4am shift {/eyeroll}.
ZooeyModeratorWell…I still don’t know what that was on Sunday. I don’t know how a defense goes from consistently dominant to matador in one game without any injuries. I didn’t read any post-mortems of the game, so maybe there’s an explanation, but that was seriously one of the most mystifying things I have ever seen the Rams do in 50 years.
So for lack of any other explanation, I am going with…they were looking past Tampa, and focusing on Seattle.
I expect the Rams to beat Seattle because that’s what the Rams do. They beat Seattle.

September 30, 2019 at 5:28 pm in reply to: This is not okay: Trump calls for the arrest of Schiff for Treason #106006ZooeyModeratorYeah, I was able to ignore Obama. I couldn’t ignore Bush, and I have even less ability to ignore Trump. The flaming success of their efforts to make the planet a much worse place just rivet one’s attention.
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorShit happens.
…next.
ZooeyModeratorYeah. So I found somebody near me. Once a month.
But I want to talk my wife into it, and I don’t know how to do that.
ZooeyModeratorHave you read the novel, Feed, by M. T. Anderson?
