    Is slavery a personal choice? No, it is completely wrong. Some things are completely wrong. Killing kids because of convenience is 100% wrong. I am not saying that for a ridiculous reason having to do with souls or angels or gods or jesus or any other fairy tale nonsense. No woman has the right to kill a healthy child because it is inconvenient.

    Now, as I said, if there is a legitimate medical reason to terminate a pregnancy, that is a decision for a medical professional. That is not something to be legislated.

    A clump of cells the size of a sunflower seed is not "a healthy child."  Just overwhelmingly absurd framing. And no person has a right to use another person's body for its survival, right?  Where exactly is that found in the constitution?  I may need a kidney transplant later in life, can I just decide to take someone else's kidney to support me staying alive? No? Oh I see.

    Just like interracial marriage too, right sack?

    and slavery, and who can have sex with who, and who can vote, and if you can travel freely from state to state, and.....

  3. The whole episode is pretty bad for the Court.  The leak is embarrassing.  But the decision is catastrophic.
    You've got a 5-4 decision to get rid of a something that has been settled as a constitutional right for 50 years, overturning a decision that at least three of them said in their confirmation hearings within the last five years was "settled law."  Each of those five justices were appointed by a president who lost the popular vote.  And now they have lifetime appointments.
    These are people who have no electoral legitimacy, no democratic legitimacy, and now no intellectual legitimacy.  They are political hacks with lifetime tenure.
    And you know what that makes them?  Tyrants.

    All so true and yet so many are fine with it as long as the wimmin and queers know their place.

    It’s notable that neither of the two best King film adaptations are of the horror genre and one of them was a short story: Stand By Me and Shawshank. 

    Pedantry alert: Both Shawshank and Stand by Me were novellas, not short stories, and in the same collection: Different Seasons.  Pretty amazing for a couple of the GOAT movies to come from one collection. Apt Pupil is in that collection and is an incredible story, but the movie is just adequate.

  6. Yeah for sure. The “I’m sure you’re good” is crazy. 99 and 77 seem more likely than K9 or K7 or KQ plus he is gonna have missed flush draw/combo draws.

    Maybe he has bet sizing or other tells that we don’t know about. I also would raise turn for sure.

  7. Are you ever checking that flop?

    I think it depends on your overall flop strat. I check more flops than Lurch and would often check this one. Callers have range advantage and I’d prefer not to bloat pot. I think betting is also fine.
  8. Hey, y'all keep saying abuse is happening, that's why we must hide it from parents. 


    So the problems I see - that’s not grooming and also that definition doesn’t apply to the situations described. Other than that, you nailed it!!!!

    If someone tells me something in confidence I’m not pushing alienation by not sharing that. Also nothing in this thread has anything to do with “making someone in their own image”.

    But under your definition, a parent who takes a kid to the parent’s church and says they can’t hang out with certain friends (like *gasp*) gay ones would be guilty of grooming.

    Again, maybe less talky more learny for a while??

  9. Wasn't meant to be a kick in the balls to you ( though you are a sooner) but knew that you are on the board and I value your's and other's feedback, in case I might have misplayed something.
    Oh, and I have been a small backer (1%) for you for years. Waiting for the luck and cards to turn for you.

    Hahaha not a kick in the balls at all! Let’s wreck em up this summer!

  10. Thanks for the info!  Yeah, us walking 36 in a day, esp my dad, may have been tough anyway. I booked lodging at Bandon for the first two nights of the trip (diff room unfortunately each night), then an AirBNB for the next 4. That allowed me to make hotel guest tee times, and they let me do it under hotel guest rules for the whole trip. 

    Current itinerary is to arrive about 3 and hopefully get out on Preserve. Then:

    Day 1: 950a Old Mac
    Day 2: 1230p Bandon Trails
    Day 3: 950a Sheep Ranch
    Day 4: 1250p Bandon Dunes
    Day 5: 1250p Pacific Dunes

    We are on waitlists for earlier times for the 3 post-noon rounds, but having talked to some people most think we should be OK getting those in, and the sunsets on the two Dunes courses are spoken of very highly. Sunset is 508p those days, so if we play in 4h 30m, should get it in right under the wire. 

    Also on waitlist for lodging at the resort for the last 4 nights. Figure we can do Shorty's/Punchbowl/Preserve before those afternoon rounds if we don't get moved up. 

  11. Do you think one suicide attempt should be enough to bring in the parents? This isn't some Lucy holding Sarah's hand shit, this was staff hiding a different identity from parents. This law makes it where you can't hide that from parents.

    I’ll waste more air - telling parents every time a kid comes to another trusted adult with things like this will result in MORE suicides not fewer. There is a very obvious reason why the child didn’t want to go to the parents with this issue. We have posters here that really think their child exposed to the concept that some boys like boys is worth firing, suing, and prosecuting a person. I’m sure they would respond really well to a call that their child hates themselves because they feel like a different person inside and they know their parent hates people like that.

    Also - as to your point ignoring my other hypotheticals, absolutely not. This is the problem, you can’t reverse engineer policies after the fact based on single cases. You need rules, especially since you want peoples livelihoods on the line if they don’t do it the way they want. What if a teacher hears your kid was drinking and then they die in a drunk driving crash? I’m sure you’re now out for vengeance. But without an incident, you’d say “shut up and teach”.

  12. Kind of sick pride in being the measuring stick for absurd beats. This is from my playbook for sure, combo of horrific runout and questionable decisions by villain that reward them and punish us to max extent.
