That's out of shape? Give me a f'n break.

Chris Hogan and Stephon Gilmore should at least be on this list, maybe as a combined entry.

There are two types of people in the world who hate the Beatles. Ones trying to "seem cool" or ironic or whatever in their claim and liars. I hope you are just a liar. I've had a saying for a while "never trust anyone who doesn't like the Beatles" and it always holds true. Elton John and Billy Joel are very easy to dislike though, as well as Gabriel.

One take with some classic one liners in there. Also dig this dudes sound, like old Naughty by Nature.

All time record for most uses of considering in its various forms in one post?

Actually, they are cash only business at the moment. Financial institutions are too afraid of the Fed to do business with them. Illegal distribution arrest in legal states are down significantly since legalization. What you don't understand about policing is that they would use Pot arrest to "get you in the system." That means you get arrested for Pot, you go on probation, you have a record, etc. Then you have a much easier path to show probably cause for searches and things like that, plus, as stated before, repeat offenders easily turn into felonies. Finally, driving stoned is not ideal, but it is WAY safer than driving drunk.

In the corporate world, a lot will disqualify from being hired immediately for a felony regardless of what it is for. Now, it usually isn't a felony for pot related charges, but for multiple offenses or distribution it certainly could be and it was a hell of a lot easier to get a felony for it just 5 or 10 years ago and a lot of those people are yet to re-enter society from those harsher times. Granted, it will still take time to flush those out of the system (as I have never heard of retro application of the laws and releasing people / removing it from their records), but years down the road when there are no low-level prisoners left to release, there can certainly be a benefit to be realized here. Especially for the minority population.

Fair point.

I don't know about that. How many people are buying illegally made/sold alcohol over buying it from the liquor store? Not many I would presume. I think most people would much rather pay an additional amount to stay legal or make their own. I know I will.

Take out the hubris my making it 100% legal. Done. Take a lot of the money (not all of course) out of the criminal aspect of it and tax it, using those taxes for education on it and/or treatment/policing of the real narcotics with real consequences. You can also save significant dollars in trying to police it, in paying for incarcerating people, and the long term impact of those people trying to rejoin society after they are released when they can't find a job because they were in prison for a weed related charge and now have to turn to crime to survive. To me, that raises the bar of the society as a whole. Most studies suggest that usage is actually not significantly increasing in legalized states and the parts where it is, it is in the people that may just use a handful of times a year, so there is really no effect on them at all. Especially after you take the initial "newness" out of it. People who use are gonna use, for the most part, whether its legal or not.

Alcohol consumption is technically banned in all public places I believe without a permit. Cost is significantly cheaper where it is legalized. An ounce of pretty good stuff runs around $300/320 here. An ounce of the BEST stuff in a legal shop state is less than $250 typically. Black market being cheaper still.

Yeah because the prescriptions that legalized MJ is replacing were sooooooo good at keeping that bar high. Or, in some cases, ailments that weren't even treatable with "legal" drugs.

Please tell me this title was intentional...both uses wrong. Has to be on purpose, right?

Worst take around here in a while...well, in over a week at least.

Indiana, tornado season. Tornado sirens were blaring, wind gusts were hitting 90mph. News outlets were telling everyone to take cover and I was chilling in a bath tub in the middle of my house since I had no basement. It was the only time I have ever been scared in a storm. Luckily, no tornado ever touched down, but it was still a very nasty 15-20 mins. It was crazy, stuff was everywhere outside from peoples yards.

Abbey Road for me. The Medley to end it basically summing up their time as a band, amazing. Not to mention "Come Together", "Oh Darling", "Here Comes the Sun", and my folks wedding song. On a side note, when I listen to the White Album, if often think to myself "Is this the most underrated album ever, or is it the most overrated album ever?" Weird, I know, but I can see it going both ways at times and its the only album that has ever made me feel that way.

https://www.amazon.com/Your-Favorite-Band-Killing-Rivalries/dp/0316259152 The real story is in this book. It's not as contentious as you would imagine. Unfortunately, I read it a while back and I smoke too much weed so my memory sucks and I can't remember the details. I just remember being like, really, that's it?

One more for today. I think I like it a bit more since I am Buffalo. But still funny. Episode 2 is probably my favorite, have to start with the first one though.

Not only the dude running into the plexiglass, but the laugh of his friend recording it. Classic. Gotta post the version of this that goes along with Black Betty. Hilarious. "Whoaa Black Betty...Amber Lance" Here you go:

Serbia for me....sure, why not? But Messi and Renaldo too.

AAA ball is the highest quality after MLB. Most people in AAA either have been in, or will be in the majors. Lower levels do have the highest rated prospects for the longest periods of time, sure, but they are also filled with a majority of players who never come close to making the big leagues. With AAA the whole team is full of borderline MLB players and sometimes you get the stud prospects for a spell as well, but typically a short one. Overall, it's a better quality product though. If you're only interested in seeing top prospects, well, then AA is your best bet.

Kind of scared this is going to be as uninspiring as Elder Scrolls Online. Hope I'm wrong, but I won't be pre-ordering, will wait for the reviews. Elder Scrolls VI, which was teased, however, I'm all in on.

Certainly remember some people around here calling him a first round pick (especially going into his final season). Kind of like some around here saying Connor Cook was going to be a #1 overall pick. So glad I don't have to keep reading posts such as those from people who have no idea how to judge a college QB...well, for the next couple seasons at least.

Never. Just was saying that it's not always a temporary problem.

Hard to explain, mannerisms, ways of speaking, I suppose...in actuality it may be just side effects of medications that are familiar more so than the actual illness. There are plenty of people out there that this is not a temporary problem for, people with chronic treatment resistant depression for example. I've seen people have depression for 25+ years that cannot be cured or effectively treated. On top of that, all the medications and treatments (like electric shock therapy for example) that they try further destroys the brain and body making the situation even worse when they don't work.
