Fucking merchants never identify themselves correctly on credit statements and there’s no other useful metadata to support it. Once awhile I see what looks like random shit (like today something from “Voi DE”) and 99.8% after some investigation it turns out to be legit. If merchants dont want people contesting their charge maybe they should identify themselves better.

I sold out all my Palantir around last month at $33 because I thought it was overpriced (cost basis 16 or something) Been on a straight line the last 30 days, at $43 now ☠️

the Wes Anderson twee bullshit got boring after his 2nd movie.

The idea of ferris wheels being tourist attractions is so fucking stupid. That goes not just for London but many other big cities too - which already have things more significant and interesting than a dumb amusement ride. Ooooh big hoop thing. Whoopee.

I agree with this. For me mostly because limited attention span and spotty memory (like…didnt Arondir really get stabbed in the last episode??). Watching it continuously connects all the storylines better. Gonna repeat on S02

didnt like that his ex girlfriend was pregnant.

and the weather is probably very tolerable too? ive attended mid-late summer F1 races and have no desire to do that again.

citizen gang 😎

the studios cant even blame it on the fans this time

we're not into perpetuating the legacy of stereotypes 'round these here parts

how did arondir just magically pop up after getting killt by adar in the prior episode

Can you give us the public ticker so we can partake in the profit sharing ?

Savings doesn't come to consumer by the Port Foreman dictating the retail price on Walmart's database. Savings comes from Walmart shipping products it to a port thats cheaper than the one used by Target, and now they have room to undercut Target's price or else they lose sales. Dividend comes from cash. If Target doesnt generate enough cash, they dont have any to pay out as dividends. Did the company you work for hold such a monopoly that they could dictate how much cash they get (besides from borrowing)?

he has a good point sometimes

Brent Venables wants this thread to stop

If you ask me - and im here to present my opinion, not someone elses - the competitors are the one with the highest stake. The decisions of parents should be given as much weight as ours: near 0. They're especially irrelevant when talking college+ athletes. How one claims they feel or decide to present isn't qualifying to change sporting categories (how would it be controlled?). The biology underlies the current day status quo. If the argument is to be made on biology, is it measurements? which measurements? physical surgery? age of transition? What rules might you propose that is robust against exploitation? The burden of proof belongs to those wanting to change the status quo. #2 undeniably exists in the world, but why is it constantly being pulled in this thread to taint those trying to talk about #1. the moralizing tactic of "you dont watch volleyball, why do you have an opinion? only bad people talk about it" is not polite discussion.

You are correct actually. The way I wrote that implied there exists a class of intentional cheaters. I made the distinction to put the focus on the meaningful group - the ones I sympathize for. The point I was leading to was in the paragraph that followed: who has a set of fair and pragmatic rules? without one, my default inclination is to stick to the birth cohort. In truly gray zone, like with dismorphism, if we cant come up with a sensible rule, is it wrong to weight that 1 person wishes against all of their competitors? If its the discomfort of 1 person against 2 female competitors…or 5… or 10? thats essentially democracy isnt it.

Post #284, even predating that one If you misread both of those, you dont even get credit as a troll. never mind the fact that ive not once referenced libs, gops, conservatives, karens, ted cruz, or any other starring characters. i challenged the posts of people here, on their words. you want to talk vaguely at me but at some strawman at the same time to gain some moral authority, enjoy your crown.

I didnt call them cheats. Thats your characterization. I said the class of biological males have undisputed athletic advantages over biological females, and therefore thats how they should be grouped. I said kids can play whatever they want. It’s low-stakes competition. Nothing lost nothing gained. Finally, I said that the ultimate authority belongs to the participants and organizers — the actual stakeholders. But as individuals we are entitled to have and express an opinion on it. Of course you of all people would misrepresent those points and distort it as hating kids and etc. Thats as predictable as the globetrotters beating the generals.

I dont pretend youre speaking on someones elses behalf and id rather you try do the same. The purpose of the direct reply is to address someone. If you want make a general commentary on the law, do it without quoting me. I asked who in here argued for excluding kids. You joked around it and then dropped a link to Florida. Do you see the disconnect?

Its not a quibble to point out that none of us are legislators in the middle of writing laws. You’re on this message board now, with us, arguing our positions. I stand by mine so if you’re gonna debate it I’d rather you stick to that, or those of other members, but not extraneous parties whose opinion I dont care to defend.

I'm impressed it took so long for the ad hominem. Did you improve your self-restraint, or just feel like you got cornered?

It's germane in that it proves the reason to use gender segregation -- otherwise there would be no female winners. Now would you explain who is floating the idea of blocking young girls from playing sports? Are they in the room with us now?
