  1. That's what I'm talking about. Just stupid/obvious attempts at humor. No edge. I'm all about edgy.
  2. True. The full article (although I suspect I may be the only WSJ subscriber here): https://www.wsj.com/economy/economists-predictions-survey-charts-68ba82d6?mod=WTRN_pos1&cx_testId=3&cx_testVariant=cx_168&cx_artPos=0 The WSJ panel of economists (most from finance/business, only 11% from lib academia) now puts the chances of recession at around 25%. That's down from about 60% last year. Soft landing. Beautiful. Probably my second most important reason for not voting for Trump (the first is his utter contempt for American governmental institutions) is to not upset the applecart. When things are going well I don't want to see a radical change that could drive us into worldwide recession.
  3. And the ever rising cost of meth cuts into that homeless housing budget!
  4. Because the rules are just a little different for academic plagiarism, because, you know, you are graded. So give Kamala's Smart on Crime an F! From the number of sales it garnered, It appears that the general public agreed.
  5. Well, then you predicted this: COLLEAGUES WORRY THAT FAILED RESEARCHER/AGING NORTH CAROLINA BIOMEDICAL PRODUCT SALESMAN SPENDS 100+ HOURS PER WEEK READING/REPOSTING RIGHT WING TWITTER FEEDS
  6. Did we quietly get better? Because this deal seems pretty loud to me
  7. No, I'm going to mention that she had a ghostwriter ("with ..."), apparently an editor, and that this wasn't a graded assignment and that apparently the "plagiarized" sources aren't at all bothered. Oh, and that nobody cares.
  8. Take a look at his numbers last year. When Flacco stepped in, he had some huge games. His catch percentage is horrible this year, which says more about how bad Deshaun Watson is than anything else.
  9. Umm, yeah, it's kind of important that a reporter covering the election is having some manner of affair with one of the candidates. A lot more important than the barrage of "NYT Headline Says Trump Shot in Apparent Assassination Attempt."
  10. Sorry, Babylon Bee still batting .000 If they told you that would kind of negate the ignore function, now wouldn't it? but I guess that's the point. Performative ignorance is thy name, Tarheel.
  11. I wasn't an MVS fan, but I didn't expect him to be below Mack Hollins on the depth chart ...
  12. Looks to be about the same as Bass. So I don't know.
  13. I'm going with: 1. Cooper. Best QB, still a real #1. 2. Adams, for the reasons you said. 3. Diggs. I think his decline isn't steep, but a little more evident than the other two.
  14. I have to agree. Main reason: I could look past the easy misses if he had a big 60 yard leg. He doesn't. At least get me the guy who has a chance of hitting from 58 if we're gonna have to live with missed PATs and 30 yarders.
  15. So who gets the most fantasy points from now to the end of the season? A. Diggs B. Cooper C. Adams D. Jeudy (Browns new #1 haha)
  16. Diggs' longest catch this season? 28 yards. 10.6 per catch. Still productive, but with a QB who is light years better than Deshaun, not clearly better. I say 110% of Diggs is more like it.
  17. Where he may be expected to immediately catch 11 passes next week.
  18. About the same age, similar size to Diggs. Better than Diggs at this stage of their careers? I say yes. So in the end, Beane wins! (again)
  19. Thank god the Browns are getting rid of Cooper, who has definitely been the problem and is the anchor weighing the team down. Certainly now the QB will get better. - h/t to a commenter on The Athletic. Made me laugh.
  20. That's a huge, huge acquisition. It really changes everything about this offense. It takes us back to the Bills pre vs. post-Diggs. Awesome!!!
  21. True. I've said before that I think he has ADHD, and probably is dyslexic too. I say that here not as an insult, but as an explanation. The documented problems he has with reading anything more than a one-pager support that, not to mention the many comments from former cabinet officials about how he very quickly loses interest in policy presentations/discussions.
  22. Except that the campaign's own spokesman didn't mention the medical emergencies (apparently people fainting in a hot auditorium) as having anything to do with the curious musical interlude. Something went awry here in a semi-programmed event, causing them to prematurely shut down the planned questions.
  23. Well, a little song and dance interlude is the kind of joyful thing I usually go to when someone has a medical emergency. Cue up YMCA!
