You're 83 Augie?!??!

In 4th grade, they split up my class of 160ish into teams of 8 and had us do different events. Teams were random, including the role of team leader. As "leader" of my team, I slotted myself in for the Vortex Throw--specifically because I remember thinking that it "sounded cool". Meanwhile, I assigned the best thrower on our team to trivia or something stupid that probably should've gone to me. So, vortex throw comes up. Every other team puts their best athlete forward, and our team is last. I'm up and I heave it with all I got into the sun. Raucous laughter ensues; a quick look over my shoulder reveals most of my teachers laughing as well. The gym teacher felt so bad that he gave our team another attempt (much to the consternation of the other teams). Instead of using that golden opportunity to let someone else throw, I decided to attempt to redeem myself, but the next throw was even worse. I initially voted 1-5 pass, but then I recalled this moment and changed my vote to zero like the scum I am. GO BILLS!

I don't see that as hypocrisy when it's preceded by the hypocrisy of calling someone out for something, then doing it themselves. I see that as splitting hairs in an attempt to save face.

I'm aware lol, as I hope you're aware of my own sarcasm in my responses. Trump takes a nap after coining Sleepy Joe, so the natural defensive response is "oh yeah?! well... Biden takes more naps so 😛." Our politics have become so incredibly childish when you think about it. They are old and running for the most demanding office in the world. Of course they are going to nod off. Of all the things that worry me about a Trump or a Biden presidency, napping frequently simply doesn't make the list. Why it scares the daylights out of Republicans in Biden's case is beyond me.

Ahhh. So THAT'S why there isn't an ounce of hypocrisy in this instance. Gotcha 👍 I guess I've been slacking on my mental gymnastics.

Oh yeah, it's definitely that. It's not like people in their late 70s are known for nodding off or anything.

Hyde was my first thought as well but I can't be certain.

Sleepy Trump fell asleep in court today lol.

If you look again closely, you'll notice I already said this in much less dramatic terms.

I had the same thought at first lol. Tbf though, if there's anyone I blame above all others, it's the ultra-wealthy elites. While they have always had influence on the president, this influence is not absolute. Each president is influenced to varying degrees. And I definitely see Trump as more of a tool for the ultra-wealthy elites than Biden is.

I'm reading a lot of bizarre and/or inaccurate statements. Debt can absolutely be cancelled, discharged, forgiven, etc. without the world ending. The IRS wouldn't consider cancellation-of-debt (COD) as a form of gross income if cancelling debt wasn't real. Sometimes loans are defaulted on and can never be repaid. Lenders are intimately aware of this and are very good at calculating risk for every transaction, which is why we have things like credit scores. Small loans between my friends and I have been forgiven at various times, so I assure you that it's a real thing. I assume the reason for saying loan forgiveness doesn't exist is to point out that this isn't just waving a magic wand with zero costs. It increases the future deficit by reducing receipts that were otherwise expected. But remember, the IRS will count this as gross income, so the very people who receive it will automatically be paying a portion of it back in their income taxes. I also question if folks realize that these recipients aren't jobless mooches if they have been paying their loans back for 10+ years. Plus, it'll be good for the whole economy when those people have $500-1000 more every month to spend or invest. That relief might finally allow someone to be able to afford their first mortgage. I mean, it's gotta be better if that money is staying in the private sector instead of going to da gubment, right? And of course it's for political points. It's an election year, and Biden's a politician. Like... duh? Have you been to Earth before or is this your first visit? It's so obvious that it isn't even worth stating.

The way I've always thought of it: -the X receiver excels in the vertical dimension (hitches, go routes, fades) -the Y receiver excels in the horizontal dimension (drags, crosses, ins and outs) -the Z receiver excels in both dimensions (aka "the true #1")

I basically remember him as a do-it-all #1 receiver. I only got into the nitty-gritty of football towards the end of his career, so I don't really remember the finer details of his game, but what were his biggest weaknesses? (other than his QBs lol)

I've been taken down from behind before without being hip-drop tackled. And no... it was not a cop. It was a cornerback lol. I swear!

One of my biggest crushes in college was a girl named Ryan. Although tbf, she was kind of a dick... so maybe you're on to something 😅
