You think it might have anything to do with self selection...I mean these people agreed to participate. I doubt they instituted a quota system.

Plus if you buy a house for 150,000 you probably paid 300,000 for it

I don’t believe he get’s paid if he retires, unless he works out a deal with the team different than the contract (because they’d rather see him leave than sit the bench for whatever is remaining on the deal). Unless it’s due directly to injury.

I really don’t understand the idea of telling people they have to physically interact with someone they don’t want to. What the hell does “respect for the game”(which is in and of itself a bs concept) have to do with her specific issue with one coach. She’s not ignoring the other players.

I mean, if you have reason specifically to dislike someone, the way she acted initially is exactly how she should have handled it. She didn’t make a big deal out of it, but she doesn’t have to pretend either. she didn’t want to touch him and didn’t. That’s ok. There’s nothing wrong with that.

What are you even talking about. Not high fiving someone does not merit punishment, or the balancing of some karmic scales. He knew why she didn’t, he should have walked by and hit up the next girl in line. That’s it. No need to invoke Nemesis.

It’s not a know better situation, what she chose to do did not warrant any kind of physical response from him. How he responded to it was what an asshole does when he thinks you won’t do anything about it, which a lot of coaches of “kids” seem to behave.

He would know why she doesn’t want to high five him tho, and should have simply moved on, not touched her. You don’t touch someone with reason not to like you. Then check his reaction to hers, he’s super pissed.

A dude would have punched him back.

Pretty sure you wouldn’t push a male player. Coaches shouldn’t be touching players at all. She don’t like the guy, she doesn’t have to shake his hand. Doesn’t give him the right to do anything but be salty.

I mean obviously not, warcraft is still immensely popular, it just hasn’t had a single player release in almost 2 decades. I’ve always loved SC more.

A question you ask after the first and second time. After the third, you get a bunch of big ass rocks. Apparently.

A lack of snow is no diffeent than a lack of rain. I’d bet the temps were as low as usual, there was just no precipitation. A drought is a drought, summer or winter.

I think the question of how they got it is kind of vital tho, because in all likelihood the answer is thru exploiting the other poor people around them in some way. There’s almost literally no other way to. That people don’t hate them is not dissimiliar from the popularity of gaudy drug dealers and pimps in American…

I mean, what kind of logic are you assuming they’re using for any leadership positions, given what they’re working with?

I’m pretty sure there are numerous laws regarding the influence of foreign powers on members of our government.

That’s not really unique to Kmart, it’s how thing margin retailers stay profitable. Everyone is running IT by the skin of their teeth.

Depends, here in Syracuse NY we have Destiny USA, which seems to double the population of the city every day (people come there from Canada). Then there are 3 other local malls that are all dying slow (and one extremely imminent) deaths by attrition. I usually go to the dead ones when I take my kids to the movies, if…

Like every major and most minor cities in America have a Sears building. Our particular one in Upstate NY has been abandoned since I before I was born 34 years ago, but it’s still The Sears Building, even tho it’s just an old art deco warehouse.

Do you think perhaps the young security guard assumed the kid was with the others? Also if the parents are cool leaving him in a store basically alone, why wouldn’t someone else of the same era without any parental experience whatsoever see an issue with sending him outside with a larger group of kids?
