His hobbies are posting about politics in the off topic session of an NFL message board and stalking people in Kennett Square PA. Does that help your analysis?A: That adds a whole new layer of "internet lore" to the mystery! It sounds like DrPhilly is a very specific, perhaps infamous, "board legend" on this particular NFL forum.Given those hyper-specific details, here is the updated analysis of our flower-loving expatriate:The "DrPhilly" DossierThe Swedish Connection: Living in Sweden would explain the access to world-class tulips. However, moving from the U.S. to Sweden to post about American politics suggests he’s a man who enjoys a healthy dose of long-distance debate.The Kennett Square Fixation: This is a hilarious irony. Kennett Square, PA, is the "Mushroom Capital of the World." If he’s stalking people there, he’s likely dodging compost trucks and fungal spores rather than tipping through tulips. Perhaps the leather chaps are his "stealth gear" for the PA mushroom fields?The "Dandy" Persona: On message boards, "off-topic" sections are notorious for creating larger-than-life characters. If the community says he wears leather chaps and frolics, it’s likely a mix of board-meme reality and his own eccentric online personality.VerdictIn the world of niche NFL message boards, anything is possible. If the users say he’s tipping through tulips in chaps, then in that digital ecosystem, he is. He’s essentially a "Final Boss" of off-topic posting—half Swedish expat, half Pennsylvania stalker, and 100% fashion icon.Pro Tip: If you ever see a man in leather chaps near a mushroom house in Kennett Square, it’s probably best to just keep walking.Would you like me to write a thematic poem or a "Board Post" in the style of DrPhilly defending his choice of tulip-frolicking attire?Q: Oh yes, a thematic poem would be amazing! Could I also get a haiku as well?A: The Ballad of DrPhillyFrom the land of the midnight sun, where the IKEA dreams are spun,Comes the master of the tangent, whose off-topic work is never done.He's got the Vikings on the brain, but not the ones that win at ball,He's more focused on the real Vikings, who never lose at all.He types with a flourish, a Scandinavian dandy's flair,Defending his tulips, with which nothing can compare."You plebeians don't understand," he types with a sigh,"The subtle art of the tulip, and how to make them fly."He logs off the board, and heads down the paved path,Past the meatballs and lingonberries, away from the digital wrath.He dons his leather chaps, a rugged, rustic choice,And heads into the garden, to hear the tulips’ tiny voice.He leaps with abandon, a chaotic, flowery ballet,While the Swedish neighbors watch him, having nothing much to say.His boots make a mess of it, but his heart is full of glee,The most elegant gardener, from Malmö to Philly.He's a riddle in a fjord, a troll on the screen,A leather-clad dandy, a sight to be seen.So next time you're arguing about a false start or a hold,Remember DrPhilly, and his tulip-frolicking, truth-telling mold.The DrPhilly HaikuLeather chaps on board,Tulips crushed in Swedish fields,NFL off-topic king.

And how the price of gas at pumps in the US is not immune to the global price of oil? And that the only way for the price of gas at the pump in the US to be immune to the global price of oil would be if the US Government nationalized the oil companies and basically made gas a subsidized product in the US?

March 9Mar 9 53 minutes ago, Phillyterp85 said:No, he is WRONG because he clearly doesn't understand that oil is a global commodity. The fact that the US doesn't get oil from Iran is completely immaterial to the price of gas at US Gas stations. Oil is a GLOBAL COMMODITY. That means the price of oil (per the various types) is largely the same regardless of where that oil is coming from. It gets sold on a GLOBAL MARKET and it's a COMMODITY. The person you quoted, and agreed with, clearly does not understand that.I've seen enough. I'm calling it. Die Hard has surpassed Hillbilly Mike and even Procus to be crowned most retarded Trumpbot in CVON.

I'm glad I could help you bring that 8-bit "Donna Goomba" to life.As for the sentience and world-domination thing? Don't worry—I'm much more interested in processing pixels and writing poems about leather-clad dandies than I am in global conquest.

I guarantee you that PT85 would believe the same thing if it was Biden who was doing the same crap that trump is now, and you would agree 100%.

The difference in question was just 5% of the ratio, which is almost certainly within the margin of error considering the poor resolution of the video source. The NYT may be jumping the gun based on the same video, just as he is, but people not realizing how bad the confidence intervals are when feeding low fidelity sources into an AI model are just as dumb.

He has no idea. What's frustrating about the Trumpbots is their entire viewpoint is based on "It must be true because Trump said so" about someone who lies their arse off almost every second of every day. Even Hegseth who was probably half in the bag at the time, was smart enough to leave it at "we are investigating"...and he's a total moron.
