LOL, nice try with your stats and anecdotes. He has full blown CDS (California Derangement Syndrome). He was told that blue state cities are lawless murder havens and red state cities are clean safe utopias and you'll never convince him otherwise. Like all magats he's incapable of any form of indpendent thought. I too have been to SF, Seattle, and Portland a few times over the last several years. I jogged past a large homeless encampment in Portland at night more than once and got a beer near there during late hours and was never hassled once. I was also in NYC last year and there were some rough characters but again wasn't once hassled, the guy who tried to sell us coke was actually pretty cool and talked with us for a minute before getting back to work. I get hassled regularly for change at the downtown QT here in my red state utopia and saw a methhead zombying around an intersection dropping my kid of at school this morning. I swear, these people are the biggest bunch of dickless pussies when it comes to big ol scary cities.
I work with some of the casinos around here and have had morning meetings at the properties. The place is filled with old people just pressing buttons at 8:00 am and smoking like a freight train. I was in Shreveport a long time ago when I was broke and they still gave free drinks in the Casino as long as you were playing the slots. We just pressed the penny button every minute or so and got wasted. Fun times. They don't do that at Indian casinos in Oklahoma and I doubt anywhere else anymore
I watch a lot of Jomboy Videos where he gives out Draft Kings codes and it's no different to me than if he were adverstising for Better Help or Me Undies or any of the other companies that are big into sponsoring podcasts and youtube vids.
I can agree that it's too much marketing. It honestly doesn't annoy me as much as others I guess because I'm so uninterested in gambling they go in one ear and out the other.
Gambling is like any vice. Make it illegal and it just goes underground to be managed by criminal elements. I don't like it either, I seriously do not understand the mentality of doing something in which you are all but guaranteed to lose money, but its a thing and might as well be legal. I also support legalized marijuana even though I hate that half the people at the grocery store reek of weed.
I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm. I suspect that Islam will still be widely practiced in the region, the question is if it will be state religion to the exclusions of others with requirements that laws comply with religion, i.e., theocracy, because that to me is a massive problem, not just in the ME, but everywhere, including the US where we are being pushed daily in that direction.
Don't ask why I went down this rabbit hole a while back. The Browns move has always fascinated me. I always wondered how it worked techincally that Cleveland got to keep its name and history. As a technical matter the Browns franchise was "deactivated" and the Ravens were created as a new franchise, so their history begins in 1996. I hate that it was a unique situation, I think this should have always been the norm. Most notably, Houston should have been "deactivated," Tennessee should have been a new franchise, and the Oilers reinstated in 2002 with all of its history intact.
He's a troll but I think he's serious about this one. Full blown lunatic with MDS. Like truly psychotic to take those words and go straight to some Che Guevara caricature of "sochulism."
I'm not all that familiar with this stuff but I assume the new regime would also be a theocracy? Let them have what they want and stay the fuck out of it, we got Greenland to worry about first.
Not sure where else to put this since I don’t do recruiting threads and I read he’s going to LSU. What’s the recourse here? If he doesn’t play for them he doesn’t get paid. Schools are doing everything in their power to avoid athletes being employees so they can’t rely on employment law and if they sue they risk a counterclaim that athletes are in fact employees. What damages can they claim if they haven’t paid anything out yet? (I assume if they paid at signing he’d be willing to give it back and take his bag from LSU). UW should probably just take their lumps and move on, still a week to find someone in the portal.
Throw Shotty's shit on the curb outside The Star and make Harbaugh HC. Oh wait, he'll have offers from owners who aren't egotistical morons by dinner time. I'm sure there's some unqualified dipshit down the hall to slap a DC title on.
