  1. Did I ***** say it to begin with? FOH
  2. Emotional takes are typically not rational takes. Doesn't mean emotional takes are always wrong - but hyperbole is an acceptable rhetorical device when one is grieving. But it may be a reference to deaths by age splits. Both number of COVID deaths and COVID deaths as a percentage of all deaths dramatically increase when you hit 55, then dramatically increase again at 65. Percentage then holds steady up to the top of the graph while raw number of deaths climbs. But this isn't a "fACts aNd iNFo" thread - this is a thread about a silly law.
  3. Yep, we just experienced one of the largest wealth transfers in history and nobody even blinked. We can wait in line at walmart but g-d forbid the local sporting goods store be able to stay open for their five patrons an hour. A street in my city that was all small businesses is now plastered with "for lease" signs. And for those upthread: yes, social isolation can absolutely amplify the feelings of hopelessness that cause suicide. Not to mention financial ruin, loss of employment, etc. Whether driving people closer to suicide was worth it or not I suppose is up to our friends in the actuarial sciences.
  4. Oh it’s after I get my food. I ain’t stupid.
  5. Waitresses and lady bartenders call me hon, honey, babe, baby, etc. all the time. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm less of a "hon" or "honey" guy and more likely than not to say "Ms." But if a waiter/waitress is acting real ***** then I'll hit them with a "sweetheart" or "champ" dripping with sarcasm.
  6. The remarks or behaviors must be unwelcome, not simply remarks or behaviors of a sexual nature.
  7. Better change your name to HIGH T MASTER
  8. China should just tell the world that the Uighurs are white and then everyone will be fine with it.
  9. Trump’s grandchildren are Jewish ?
  10. Yeah this wasn’t difficult to see. a grifter, apparently
  11. Now I feel like I'm being insulted lol that reads like a Mad Men fanfic
  12. Well she had career aspirations and used every resource available to her. Admire that enterprising spirit. Can’t forget this: https://thespun.com/nfl/afc-east/buffalo-bills/espn-dianna-russini-buffalo-bills-tailgate-mafia
  13. Now this is journalism. Gets a 9/10 because no pics of the wife or Russini ?
  14. Cursed video. Why is she walking like that? That's almost as bad as the Albany tricentennial promo: Can still find pressings of this song at the local music shops once in a while.
  15. I have no doubt that bad ***** goes down in that organization. I'm skeptical of the no-name twitterer who is now throwing every bad thing you can think of against the wall to see what sticks.
  16. So we're clear: we're saying that these journalists have no professional integrity? And here I've been told for three years that journalism is a high and lofty career that is above crude things like money or power.
  17. I'm extremely skeptical as there is literally no reason for any mainstream news publication to sit on this story. Not in today's era. Sexual harassment scandals are big news and there's literally no downside to running with it. This dude saying that deadspin, of all places, wouldn't run the story is the clincher for me.
  18. That's not how any of this works and you know it. Otherwise public sector unions would be completely barred from political contributions and my union dues would be way cheaper.
  19. Is Trump a paid spokesman for Goya? Otherwise that wouldn't be including in things that are relevant to the conversation. And I don't know the answer off the top of my head. Edit: the answer is yes, the president can be. You may think it tacky or unethical but it is not illegal. The President and Vice President are exempt from conflict of interest laws in general. Congress ensured this. The relevant code is 5 CFR Part 2635. The president and vice president are exempt from every section except B and C of this code.
  20. The President (not Ivanka) is exempt from the ethics rules relevant to the conversation. That's why Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama could all state their brand preferences openly while president.
  21. Google it. I’m dead serious. It’s even in your beloved WaPo
