Disclaimer : I’m a Republican who did not vote for Trump, will not vote for trump, and resigned from a job in political consulting when told I was up for contract for his campaign.

is to do away with all limits on the amount of money teams can spend on salaries, both in total and on individuals, so that teams in places like Salt Lake City and Milwaukee can actually pay however much extra money it’d take to get dynamic young celebrities to want to come live and play there.

This is amazing. I haven’t watch TNG enough (and when I did it was long ago) and never noticed this. Has this been discussed before— like, has he stated that this was part of Riker’s character? Or is that how Jonathan Frakes naturally sits?!?

“The overall width of the pelvis is relatively greater in females and the angle of the femoral neck is more acute. These factors could play a role in making a position of sitting with the knees close together less comfortable in men”

Grew up in Stillwater. I still recall the first game of his final (Heisman) season (listening on the radio— I forget if it was on TV, but Dad always turned off the TV volume and tuned into the local radio guys). No one knew who we was, and we were coming off of having Thurman Thomas in the backfield. First play,…

Shit, even if he got the exact same deal as Obama, his base will still say it was better than anything Obama could do

I’m Oklahoman, like Warren, and though I am much younger than she is, I recall as a kid growing up that it was a thing for people to say that they were some fraction of some tribe. It’s not like they or their families were card-carrying members who went to tribal events, etc. It was just family lore.

Just here to say that I wish that when people wrote the line “I’m shocked, shocked I tell you” that they’d use a fucking dash. I don’t care which one, but the comma isn’t doing it.

And from that,

I moved to Baltimore a few years ago and went to one of the DC 4th of July events in 2017. I had fun there. So what is unclear is this: what is happening with the traditional event held near the Capitol? Is Trump competing with this just a few blocks away? Are his fireworks going to be the same as the Capitol 4th…

By religion immediately they seem to align more with Conservative beliefs.

So what’s going to happen if Trump says “fuck it, we’re not doing the census”?

Just came to say that the headline is amazing.

I’m curious. So he was having these affairs with multiple women. I don’t know the time-frame here (months? years?), but I do know that you don’t go on a skiing vacation with someone (whether it’s a partner/spouse or person you’re cheating with) unless you enjoy spending time with them (enough, anyhow).

It’ll be quite a boon to mental health in that generation as well.

I have student loan debt. However, at this point in my life, I have a good job and can manage it. That said, there was a point in my life right after grad school where I was just getting pummeled to the point where it was a huge source of stress. By some great luck, though, someone was able to come in and consolodate…

If you still haven’t gotten a job after a few years as an adjunct, I’m sorry but it’s usually that your vita just isn’t good enough.

You touched on something that is super important and rarely talked about.

This article hits close to home for me, and I have a lot of thoughts— many similar to those in the comments below. After my PhD, I got a postdoc— which is better than adjuncting in that you are just working at one place and you get benefits, but they pay was still dismal. But after 6 years of postdocing, it is clear…

Two things: as an Oklahoman who left the state some time ago, I’m with you re the “I love my home state—I do—but it’s the kind of enduring love you have for a relative that you really don’t want to talk to except on holidays” thing.
