Choose your caption: 1. "I'm shocked... SHOCKED... that Chris Angel is charging that much for tickets. 2. "It's Miller Time! No, I'm literally getting all $20 out of this belch." 3. "This is how you do that whole flip-the-bottle challenge thing right?" 4. "Don't ... you ... dare ...." 5. "Lincoln Riley is just so chipper."

Well, that was a fun Sunday in Vegas.

I thought I heard it too.

Just go with the Outlaw Star. It's both good enough and relatively shallow enough to be a go-to watch.

It apparently went extremely well.... without me. I know I sent everyone a reminder, but I got sidetracked out at the Luxor pool for like :20 at noon, and then I was like "Oh shit." It turns out the computer was really generous, and I somehow got an A+ even thought it drafted Dak Prescott for me.

I didn't know fan holidays were anything outside of puff pieces for the junior-est reporters on the second hour of the local news morning show.

Happy Birthday, bro!

Not the way I do it, unless art is supposed to make you sad.

Alright. Draft is on tap for 12 PDT, 4 EDT. You ready?

That's nothing, Apparently, the FCS has taken from the Power 5 3 playbook and an is scheduling NAIA teams, to the tune of 77-0, which is apparently an improvement on 98-0.

I think he was asking if you know how the user Mochi is doing.

Your friend is a fucking piece of shit. Also a rumor.

Yeah, Sonic is alright. I like their tater tots, and the burgers are ok.

"Economy" can be interpreted in a couple ways. The most obvious is using language with the least amount of adornment, which is typically using direct verbs and minimizing the use of adverbs and adjectives, as one might see in a Hemingway novel. (It's partly why he comes across as such a prick in his writing even if you're unfamiliar with his life.) A slightly more specialized interpretation is using phrasing that flows easier, such as a Shakespearean soliloquy. This relies on arranging a complete phrase in a way that keeps a steady flow of stressed and unstressed syllables, disrupting that flow sparingly to great effect, and, importantly, uses stressed syllables to convey a secondary narration. These principles are fairly universal across all languages, though how language is stressed varies obviously.

Of course. I'm all about economy of language.

I wrote a paper related to this in college.

OMFG

Where to start with this utter bullshit…. First off, I’m genuinely glad you can publicly be your true self. Let’s not gloss over how difficult it is to be openly out - just because you have good friends who accept you doesn’t mean you and your wife aren’t targeted. That you can share it with us is itself an act of bravery that too often gets dismissed. Second, this whole thing about classrooms using LGBTQIA+ identity as a program to sexualize children is absurd. I can’t even begin to fathom how you misrepresent gender identity in that context: it’s illogical at a fundamental level with obvious roots in the very same rigid gender roles that ostensibly mandate removing “sexuality” from education. Part of it is that the stigma of debunked psychology is difficult overcome, but of greater importance is that there is a vested interest by heterosexuals to connect identity to reproductive function. Conservatives have long tied primary education to familial programming, either by being excessively repulsed by the concept of training a girl to be sexual or by complaining about the decline in morality curriculum. For them, being “a good Christian” necessarily incorporates sexuality in identity because intimacy serves a biological function. Separating identity from biology is one product of a concerted effort to combat racist ideology, particularly eugenics. It’s no coincidence that multiple genocidal events through the first part of the twentieth century preceded a rise of homophobia that use the exact same terminology. Gays, like Blacks and Jews, are framed as biologically degenerate. They’re described as having neurological disorders or having animalistic traits / tendencies. WWII is the first real time reporting of atrocities that could debunk eugenics by directly connecting the pseudo science with propoganda and its tragic consequences. As the connection between race and biology dissolved so did other tenuous connections, and a similar backlash ensued. Naturally, you don’t have to be intelligent to know what you feel. I wouldn’t expect you to understand why gender identity is unique, but the fact it is can’t have been lost on you given your friends are non plussed by your gender. By your logic, people walking up to you must assume that being a lesbian means craving foreign objects shoved in your vagina for intimacy: a thoroughly offensive thought. Why you wouldn’t connect the dots and assume that teaching intimate interpersonal connections doesn’t necessitate explaining copulation is beyond me.

Kind of reminds me of that joke that cost Gibert Godfried his AFLAC job.

To be clear: "fair share" of taxes means what you can safely afford to contribute. The term gets thrown around a lot by people who support flat taxes and by people who want to cut welfare programs, always with the intent of changing the metric to "the hard earned fruits of my labor" from "what I need to survive in my current situation."

Damn.

It probably is. Hopefully, this next generation lives longer.

But it likely won't ever hit anyone that isn't making over $100 million. Stock options aren't a thing in the middle class bracket, and people in the lower upperclass are more likely to convert profits from their ventures into a fixed asset like property - basically something that is more useful for things like credit and financial stability.

I hears a rumor.... that Ghosty plans on shoving Elon musk into a tire, fucking him in the ass, and rolling him down the hill like he's Johnny Knoxville.

Which is probably why most people would never see this proposed tax. A middle class worker isn't going to accept a stock option bonus after maybe the IPO because it doesn't give them the needed liquidity. Making it for people who make over $100 mil is less about clawing back tax money and more about stopping the ultra rich from using that phony money as a leverage.
