Does anyone else here think that maybe these ads aren’t the result of a sense of humor, but an attempt to pitch gee-whiz features to low-information consumers?

Glad to hear the wet rescue is working and they’re getting them out relatively unscathed.  I was pessimistic that weakened non-swimmers would fare well against a challenging dive, but am more than happy to be proven wrong.

This is such a weird situation for all the reasons others have already mentioned. If I’m the GM of a non-Spurs team right now, I wouldn’t touch this guy with a ten-foot pole. He’s been in the league’s best organization, one that genuinely looks out for its players’ health (how many DNP-Old did Duncan/Manu get?), and…

My thoughts exactly re: Chris Paul.

Seconded.  I mean...  Yeah the trim level can be a bit tricky to narrow down, but that’s clearly a Fusion.

Are you me? Because whoa, I used to curb-stomp people in BF:1942, but nowadays am strictly average at most online games I play. As a result, I’m limiting myself more to quality singleplayer stuff.

From the linked article:

Yep, this is the entirety of the problem with “sharing XYZ device” startups boiled down to its essence. People are dicks, and removing the onus of ownership means these problems will always exist. The million dollar question becomes: can the startup make enough in revenue to not only offset negligence and deliberate…

This is so weird! I need a dealer insider to tell me if it’s realistic to expect someone to walk in and buy a car that’s been sitting on a dealer lot for almost 3 years, and at basically full price!

The trapper is an asshole; his bongo technique doesn’t accomplish anything but agitate a scared, pissed-off apex predator. There’s literally no purpose to tapping it like that.

Yep, I’m always grey. I like to think I make (generally) insightful comments with a minimum of trolling, and yet so I remain.

Utterly ridiculous is a bit extreme, no? Debatable? Sure. Seriously: this is a game of ball-hoops, controlled by rich white billionaires yanking their Negro playthings around like puppets on a string, all so we can argue about this shit like it’s life and death. Which it isn’t.

Administrators at Mount Saint Joseph High School bailed earlier this week, citing St. Frances’ dependence on transfers and out-of-town students as a violation of the “spirit” of league rules, and Loyola Blakefield, after last season’s 65-0 whupping by St. Frances, claimed “safety” concerns inspired its withdrawal…

In the moment, the refs on the floor—the only people whose opinion matters—disagreed on whether this was a charge or a block. It is reasonable to suppose that some portion of that disagreement was based on uncertainty of LeBron’s positioning relative to the restricted area.

Starring for the as-yet-unseen moniker for our Dotard in Chief, which caused me to dig up old German lessons to translate it.

“After much deliberation, there is significant agreement that St. Frances has moved their program to a level that we are not interested in competing at or with,” read the Mount Saint Joseph statement. “If their goal is to be a national power competing against like schools, we wish them success, but that is not our…

Yeah I’m right there with you. Love her routine shutdown of any misogynist bullshit, but oy vey she sexualizes pre-pubescent teendom in a way I wouldn’t want teen relatives to emulate. Not just because it’s icky, but logistically my teen relatives don’t have the resources to combat pedophiles like she surely does.

You’re spot-on, these kids have rich parents. One of the news articles mentioned they live nearby, and that is a very wealthy part of Tampa. Historic mansion wealthy.

They have rich parents. One news story mentioned they live nearby the accident scene, and that’s one of the wealthiest parts of Tampa.

One of the linked news stories mentioned all three of the arrested youths live within minutes of the crash scene. That means they live in a very wealthy part of Tampa—we’re talking mansions in the million-dollar-plus range—so I’m sure the parents are real thrilled with their investments right about now.
