Sad day. I feel for his family. It is hard to watch someone you love deteriorate mentally. Good bye to a KU and NFL legend. One of the 3 most unique, and enjoyable to watch running backs IMO. The other 2 being Barry Sanders and Earl Campbell. Love watching highlight reels of all those guys. All 3 B12 school legends.

Plus, his wife is a lunatic. I'm sure he is not looking forward to retirement. He dies on the bench like RBG most likely.

Russian excess deaths over summer outstrip COVID toll by more than 3 to 1. Looks like we know where Trump and Republicans got the idea to reduce the COVID death count by classifying them differently. Wonder what our excess mortality was this summer.

Don't worry. Since humans would rather hoard/fight over resources than share them, and ignore problems rather than face/solve them, when large scale migration starts to occur the nukes will fly. Then the nuclear winter will solve this whole global warming crisis. Just paint yourself white to deflect the nuclear blast or wear SPF two million and everything should be fine.

The B1G only changed direction because the B12 and ACC decided to play. Everyone knew the SEC would try.

KU FB is to college football what 2 girls 1 cup is to porn.

Not surprised we lost. This season will be worse than last. Next year we should be better as the scholarship situation improves. However, there seems to be no bottom with this team. I just expect them to lose and I am pleasantly surprised when they win a game. The Curse of Mangino continues for at least another season.

I spent a couple summers in college working in the meat packing plant in my home town. It paid 2 times more than minimum wage at the time and usually had at least 8 hours of overtime most weeks. In Kansas, the meat packing towns are usually much more diverse than the rest of the state at the time (90% white) due to all the immigrants that would go work there as it paid well for unskilled labor. There were a lot of SE Asians, mostly Thai and Vietnamese, Hispanics, both long time citizens and new immigrants - legal or otherwise, a few blacks, and a bunch of poor whites or white college kids (there was a small university in town) like me making some summer/part-time cash. They always struggled to have enough workers for the 2 shifts they ran. So much so that when I returned to college in Lawrence they told me to keep the equipment and I could go back whenever I wanted and just walk into work. No need to call in and ask if they needed me. Just show up. A few years later they were able to get special visas to bring people in from Mexico because not enough Americans wanted to work there. In mid 2000s a lot of Somalis were settled in these meat packing towns in KS because the government hoped they would go to work in these plants. Pretty much whenever the government has an influx of immigrants they like to settle them in these towns hoping they will go work in the meat packing plants. They had 2 sides at this plant, a slaughter side for killing the cattle and a processing side that cut the slabs into the separate cuts. I worked on the processing side in packaging (I pulled strings so I would not have to be cutter). All new workers started in processing as a cutter on the floor. Being a cutter is really hard work. The temperature in there is just above freezing. They are working with knives so there are constantly little nicks and cuts or bigger accidents requiring hospital visits (my uncle worked there for 6 months and got a nasty gash on his lower leg from a dropped knife). They basically are outfitted in chain mail from shoulder to hands and over their torsos to their knees, so that is a lot of weight to carry around all day. Cutters specialized in one cut so the chain could move faster so their bodies would often become overdeveloped on one side causing health issues. The work is extremely repetitive so carpal tunnel was almost certain to affect anyone that spent enough time doing cutting work. The environment can be wet from washing the blood and waste off the chain/floor. After 6 months, you could bid on different jobs including the kill side, packaging, or maintenance. Who got the job was based on seniority, so usually you had to be a cutter for years before you could get off the processing floor. The work is mindless as hell (My coworkers and I in packaging used to ask each other trivia questions about music, sports, etc. just to keep our minds busy). Lots of people quit within a couple weeks. One of the guys I went through training with quit the first day. Puked on the floor and walked out. I think 40-50% quit before the first month was over. The best workers were the immigrants. They needed a job and had no support system to fall back on without one. Those guys and gals almost always stuck with it. Most of the quitters were the college and rural whites. The local townies usually stuck it out because their parents and extended family often worked there so they knew what they were getting into. I really liked almost everyone I worked with there. They were mostly good people that knew they had few options in life and were just doing the best they could with the hand they were dealt. Last I knew there were well over 100 Covid cases at that plant and they only have like 40% of the employees that they had when I was there due to shutting down parts of the plant. Too bad these companies put profit over the lives of the workers. But then that is sadly the case with American corporations too often now days. Some stories from that place:

I remember Kiss got all the religious zealots wound up. Knights In Satan's Service. Wake up sheeple! I think they had strokes when Motley Crue released Shout at the Devil. But thankfully Stryper came along to rescue metal from Satan.

Living in Korea: 씨발 (ssi-bal) - fuck 병신 새끼 (byeong-sin saek-ki) - diseased or deformed person used like motherfucker 씨발년 (ssi-bal-nyeon) - bitch 씨발새끼 (ssi-bal-saek-ki) - SOB 백치 (baeg-chi) - Idiot I do a lot of online gaming here to pass time and the people online are a mix of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Russian and Filipino mostly. Most often heard, used in in text chat are: Bobo <Filipino> - dumbass сука блять <Russian> (ssOO-kah blyat) - bitch whore 白痴 - <Chinese> (báichī) - idiot ばか <Japanese> (Baka) - stupid or ばかやろう (Bakayarou) - idiot/asshole

Poll on 2024 race: Pretty early, but right now Republicans prefer: Pence 31% Fredo Trump 17% Haley 11% Romney 9% Cruz 8% Fucker Carlson 7% Rubio 5% Paul Ryan 4% Princess Trump/ Pompeo 3% Romney look like the only one with any appeal right now to independents or Democrats.

I both sided your mom last night.

The military is noticing.

The Kennedy family's key demographic is dying off. JFK and RFK were heroes to Boomers, but younger generations were not alive for them or were babies. They will have to win on issues and personal charisma pretty much from now on. They will get a little bump from the name, but there is not an emotional attachment to them among non-Boomers.

Some stupid shit my wife said a couple years ago... Jhawkmvp wife: Hon, what would you do if I gave away the dogs without telling you? Jayhawkmvp: I'd be getting a new bitch the next day. Jhawkmp wife: You'd get a new dog? Jhawkmvp: No, first I would try to get the dogs back and then I'd be getting a new girlfriend because our asses would be getting a divorce. Jayhawkmvp wife: The dogs are more important than me? Jayhawkmvp: No, but if you gave away my dogs without talking to me first it would show you don't give two shits for my feelings. So why stay married to someone who would do that to someone they supposedly love? If I had to get rid of them for some reason, I won't do it until I know they would have a good home. You have a responsibility to pets like you do to children. You don't abandon them. My wife is usually great and was probably just asking a stupid what if; however, I needed to let her know there are some lines you just don't cross if you want to keep your marriage.You never mess with a man's dogs.

Courvoisier objects.

The first huge outbreak in South Korea was centered on one person breaking quarantine and going to some huge (thousands of people) religious services in Daegu. Unfortunately, every country has it's fair share of complete imbeciles and religious nutters who think their faith is a shield versus infectious disease. The best you can hope for is that the sane outnumber the idiots by several magnitudes.

That guy is most likely drunk as a skunk on soju. All the fights I have seen here involved very drunk middle aged or older males and looked similar with lots of ineffective flailing with little damage done. Unfortunately here in South Korea, being drunk is a legitimate defense for all kinds of bad behavior such as rape, physical violence, etc. They will probably still get punished, but often get a reduced sentence. Also paying the victim blood money, or offering to pay, if the victim declines, also usually results in a lighter punishment. The whole face saving thing from Confuscian culture has a big influence still in the South Korean justice system. I have not seen anyone unmasked on the subway, anytime recently, here in Busan, but Seoul and Daegu were/are the hot spots. However, a lot of Koreans got complacent with mask wearing and social distancing and cases are starting to increase again, primarily in Seoul. In my area, outside on the street maybe 50-60% are still wearing masks; however, 80-90% wear them inside stores and other indoor public spaces still. If I travel to Seoul, my work requires me to quarantine for 2 weeks, as most past and current cases are happening there.

Space force now have official uniforms and they are ... Army and Air Force camouflage .. in space.

Your neighbor must have the tiniest penis ever observed under a microscope. He doesn't need something like that to help wounded vets.

And Filipinos. Duterte volunteered the Philippines to be guinea pigs for it starting in October.

That's a big lie from Mia. One of the porn companies released what she was paid in her six months with them. She has lied about a lot of things related to her career.

Shooting in the store while brandishing a knife and threatening people with it. Justified. In the street, after he got his knife taken by the clerk and was unarmed. Unjustified. However, play stupid games, win stupid prizes applies either way.

Would it be okay if we started confiscating the guns of anyone at a protest, on either side (who knows what they might be planning to do), for a few hours if we give them back after? After all no harm, no foul. If they complain about their 2nd amendment rights then they need to stop being babies. They put themselves in that situation. If they get them back later they have no reason to complain. {Sarcasm off} The government and the protesters need to follow the laws of this country. If someone at a protest is committing a crime arrest and charge them, but just grabbing people up for what the police/government thinks they might be planning, without any evidence, is complete horseshit. If you think what they are doing is bullshit, but legal, then go lobby your elected shitbirds to change the law so it is illegal. Until then enforce the laws as written and don't make up your own or ignore the ones you do not like. The rule of law made this country great and when it is ignored or enforced unevenly it spells trouble for our nation.
