    On the one hand, the team/individual aspect of it can be mentally taxing, as well as keeping track of responsibilities in the on-again/off-again nature of the game. On the other, a lot of the muscle memory required I think can be inconsistent with being much of a thinker. If you are a thinker, you have to be able to turn it off, at the plate at least. And that can give dumbshits kind of an advantage.

    As mentioned previously, the infringers' liability is so clear cut, the only thing to argue about is damages. It will settle promptly for a sizable sum.

    Motherfucker can't even use the word "lie" properly.

    Typically, senior status judges are in the "rotation," but not "one-for-one." So they may get a random assignment every X time where X is something less than the 1/(total number of judges). They also generally have the ability to decline any assignment. Usually, senior-status judges are pretty decent. Seems like this would have a good chance of being reversed, if it's a proximate cause analysis. Things only break the chain of proximate cause if they're not foreseeable. And, execute a bad warrant on innocent people, getting shot at is reasonably foreseeable.

    Also loved Fats. Because I already dug this, Cheap Trick was automatic.

    Those K-Tel albums that had a lot of the goofy songs, like Charlie Brown, offered a good bit of oldies, too. My favorite Coasters. Poison Ivy lawd can make you itch.

    Probably told this before, but Dallas station KLUV 98.7 was always in my rotation as a teen and young adult and especially so because it was the longest-lasting station between Dallas and Austin. So I got a healthy dose of that music and have always enjoyed it. ETA: KLUV remains an "oldies" station (mostly, it has flipped format briefly a couple of times), but "oldies" now means 80-90s. 😬😬

    Well, fuckstick I assume is referring to "motor voter" registrations, where you can do it concurrently with renewing a DL. Obviously, fuckstick doesn't know what a clusterfuck DPS is. And maybe we know now why DPS is such a clusterfuck.

    That needs to be crammed up his ass repeatedly on the campaign trail.

    Eh, fuck that, get you a Ma Deuce. Or maybe one of these.

    Well said.

    Don't you have to be pretty close to scan a QR code? Closer than most fans get to players most of the time? Seems like a gimmick.

    Buncha fucking weird fucks is what they've got.

    I am capable of understanding and empathizing with those not me. The middle class has shrunk and the working class has it worse.

    Well, the Republicans of the past are guilty of some policy mistakes that led pretty directly to today. One being courting fundagelicals and two being trickle-down economics and related theories that have suppressed wages and further enriched the rich.

    Vote lock step? No we vote against fucking regards and shitheels. Which means pretty much all republicans these days, and the king of the dipshits himself, Trump. And the bolded is some pretty insane shit.

    And, quite unfortunately, it wouldn't be the first time a politician or politicians enacted severe new laws to combat a non-existent crime wave.

    Well, ours wasn't that bad. Those in other sports used that 6th period for that sport, even when they were football players. A star-stud MLB was a standout on both teams and a "coach on the field" and he didn't get much grief, I suppose because he didn't need a bunch of extra coaching in spring workouts. I remember a WR didn't come out for baseball until his senior year because of pressure to attend spring workouts and avoid injury. I remember specifically he was put in as a PR and got deked and tagged out by a SS who fake threw back to the pitcher.

    And, of course, once you give the dictator that kind of unilateral power, where else does he take it. Look where Bukele is taking it. This is the fatal flaw with this type of thinking.

    That's very true, yes. And some baseball/football players did indeed receive pushback from the HFC. I am, however, referring to the "social" hit that QB1 took. Not that he became a pariah or anything, but the understanding that he foreswore being "Lord God king boofoo" of our hs to play what was regarded as a distant second-tier sport.

    To an extent he's right in that a whole lot of inhabitants of this state are Magats, so it shouldn't surprise us much that our athletes are Magat-y, athletes not being known for intelligence or sensitivity. But the objectionable thing is that they aren't expressing conservative ideas, they're parroting the stupidity of the current variant of the right-wing, as Huckleberry points out. It's the CR problem: "conservatives" get shouted down because they don't currently articulate any sort of reasoned conservative viewpoint.

    GOLL and I went to the same hs, which shall remain unnamed but could be gleaned from prior postings. For whatever reason, and I'm sure this was not unique to our hs, you had to play football to be cool, at least until junior or senior year. Example: The, anointed QB1 quit football after his freshman year to focus on basketball. He succeeded to the point that he played some at Arkansas under Nolan Richardson, as a 6-1 white guy. But, his quitting football was just scandalous. My sense is that that phenomenon mitigated some between my time and his time at the school.

    Yeah, I would not call this board a bunch of "ultra-liberals." This is essentially the same people that 15 years ago were pretty damn conservative. Nothing like the conservative party turning into a bunch of truth-impervious, fascistic cultists to turn that trend right the fuck around.
