“The bigger issue is being taken seriously as a legit sport and this certainly doesn’t look good.”

I don’t know, American football is pretty legit and this is not uncommon there either or really in any legit sport. If anything, the presence of scandals makes it more legitimate.

Most Republicans these days would fucking love a king if they could guarantee he was a Christian king. It’s the part where he could be a dirty liberal king (like Jesus) that keeps them touting the virtues of a free and open society. They only trot out the small-government argument when it’s convenient for them, but…

Very much so. Louis Theroux did an episode of his Weird Weekends (I think it’s on Netflix) about wrestling, mostly backyard wrestling, but he participated in a workout with a bunch of wrestlers and got absolutely wrecked.

You can’t kill someone with an airsoft gun, you can absolutely kill someone with a well-placed BB gun shot or even easier with a pellet gun. This isn’t the difference between a clip and a magazine we’re talking about here.

Also affectionately known as a Jizz and Jet.

Sorry, it’s the other one.

Yep, especially in a strongly hierarchical organization like law enforcement. When you’re new, you do what you’re told because you’re expected to, not because it makes sense.

Not in that city, I assure you!

We’re talking ‘90s here and pretty new cruisers (upper-middle class suburb), there was definitely no legitimate reason for the hoods to be up. I assume it’s just one of those things that gets passed from cop to cop.

Growing up, the cops blocking off streets for the 4th of July parade every year would put their hoods up and they said the same thing. So I think they’re being truthful, but they’re also definitely morons.

Do you use a CPA and do you itemize? It sounds like you need a tax professional (not H&R Block, to be clear) to do your taxes for at least one tax return to get things set straight. If you have regular income (and even if you don’t, as long as you can reasonably estimate what you’ll earn that year) they should be able…

They don’t really exist in the US because they originated in Europe, but they exist and they’re prevalent and widely despised in parts of Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_pe…

Yeah, I’m really curious whether 5 or 50 was the correct amount, because the mental pictures associated with each are very different.

Huh, fancy.

What does a ductless unit use? Just a different material for duct? I mean the air has to get to the vents somehow, right?

Wait, why do you imagine the site you rent costs $15/day? You don’t know how much you pay? Have you ever actually been camping?

You can still successfully sue (and win) for wrongful termination even in an at-will position, especially in a case like this where it’s clear that her firing was specifically retaliation. Along with the fact that they changed the dress code after it had been agreed to, she would very likely win that case.

I feel like the people running the Olympics either own or have significant shares in construction companies and they’re just feeding their own pockets. That’s the only way this makes sense.

And considering Jynx exists, that’s a pretty impressive achievement.

Well if he were a smart man he’d be more upset at his wife than Gawker...
