    This. Perhaps it will suck but Toy Story has earned the benefit of the doubt.

    What the fuck was that?

    Theo simply said nobody is untouchable, including him. Which is of course true. If the Indians called up and offered Lindor, Ramirez, and Kluber for Bryant, Theo couldn’t say yes fast enough.

    It’s not just because of the propaganda. There’s a significant (and incredibly sexist) bias against “shrill” older women.

    He’s 10th in the AL in fWAR and 9th in bWAR.

    What’s the benefit of announcing you’re firing the guy in three weeks? Either fire him now or just announce it after the Texas game.

    Horns Down

    DanRydell replied to Helobious's topic in Football

    I don't think it should be a penalty but I'm also in favor of taunting and over the top celebrations.

    Hence why I said, "at least from a purely financial standpoint."

    It's hard to understand why Kershaw would take that deal, at least from a purely financial standpoint. $28m might be about right for his age 33 season but it's going to be even tougher for him to get a longer-term deal going into his age 34 season.

    2018 MLB Thread

    DanRydell replied to Netzer's topic in Baseball

    Maybe. But if he’s on a decline and continues to have issues staying healthy, his prospects as a free agent in two years might not be so great so his overall earnings could benefit from grabbing more guaranteed money now. He should be able to get something like 7/$200m right now. So it’s a question of whether he and his agent think he could get at least 5/$130m two years from now.

    I know others who advocate for open borders but none of them are dems. Even if you’re a Reagan conservative who only cares about the bottom line and not the human rights aspect of it, there are reasons to favor open borders. Removing barriers to the migration of labor would increase world GDP by between 50-150%. https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdf/10.1257/jep.25.3.83 Immigrants in the US receive 39% less welfare than native-born citizens per capita. https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/dont-blame-immigrants-bloated-welfare-state In EU countries, there is an inverse relationship between the size of a country’s welfare state and immigrant population. http://www.ia-forum.org/Files/ForumReport%20Fall%202010%20Migration3.pdf

    Arby’s seasoned curly fries are great

    They'll certainly know the difference when they grow up and don't have the opportunity to live and work in the United States. I support open borders so I would welcome the world regardless of whether they gave birth. The right to live and work and to flee oppression, be it physical or economic, is a fundamental human right.

    Denial of citizenship is a punishment
  15. DanRydell
    I draw the line at actively punishing children for for the conducts of their parents.
  16. DanRydell
    I’m pro human rights, regardless of what someone’s parents did.
  17. DanRydell
    This is simply false. Birthright citizenship was universally understood as the law from the start (and for centuries under English common law). The Fourteenth Amendment was enshrining what the law already was and making clear that Dred Scott was wrong. For example, there was no federal statute in 1809 that made Abraham Lincoln a US citizen by virtue of being born in Kentucky. He just was, and it never occurred to anyone he wasn’t.

    I will stipulate there are facts which are troubling. Now what's your solution?
  19. DanRydell
    If you want to build your business model around pandering to white supremacists, them's the breaks. But what the hell, I'll play. What is the obvious problem exactly? And what is your proposed solution to said problem?

    Twitter is its own hosting service. Gab is welcome to migrate away from third-party hosting if they don't want to be subject to such market forces.
  21. DanRydell
    There are some sound and reasonable arguments against antimeritocratic birthright citizenship but they also apply to jus sanguinis.
  22. DanRydell
    Restoring jus soli which until Dred Scott was so well understood to be the law that it had never occurred to anyone it actually needed to be written into the law.

    Pinkel was pretty perennially underrated for what he did at a program that had been awful for decades (although the effects of that weren't really until the late 2000s) but Dan Devine is probably Mizzou's best coach. Finished in the Top 20 9 out of his 13 years with 3 Top 6 finishes.

    I certainly wouldn’t call it good but that Krystal at the west end of Bourbon Street has hit the spot a couple of times while walking back to the hotel.

    Winter is brutal but overall Chicago is great. I'd be living there right now if my wife wasn't such a lightweight about the cold.
