Oh wow, that explains the NY AG investigation. That level of scam takes some audacity. Like some straight up fuck-you level audacity. At least the organizers of the philly cheesesteak festival honestly seemed like they wanted it to be a success. Whether their efforts were for the benefit of the enthusiastic…

Philly had a cheesesteak festival a few years ago, and the same thing happened. The tickets were too expensive to begin with, but it sold out, so people bought overpriced tickets on stubhub, and then when people got there the vendors were only giving out a limited selection of pre-made cheesesteak portions that were…

The problem with that study was that they heavily primed the participants with extremely leading questions before asking that final question about delaying the election. If you start a survey off with enough leading questions you can get just about any response you want in a survey. That’s why pollsters often…

The NJEA is gonna eat these folks alive if they mess with the teacher for this. There will be many more Crying Jordans posted when it’s all said and done.

And he said a line that will almost certainly become synonymous with this period in American history, and will be used in the future books and movies that will tell the story of this time, when, in response to a question about the possibility that US persons may be guilty of collusion, he said that “frequently, people…

You can suck your own dick because the NJ Pension fund was more than fully funded. In fact, it had a surplus, until Republican governor Christy Whitman decided to withhold billions of dollars of pension funds starting in 1995 so she could claim she balanced the state budget while lowering taxes. All she did was…

And yet simply due to sheer size manages to continue to fail upward.

Let’s face it, if America was gonna go authoritarian, he’s the bloated, vapid, crusted orange, sleaze bag phony we were always gonna end up with.

The horrifying plausibility of what you just posted caused in me what can only be described as a soul-fleeing gag reflex. My soul tried to leave my body because of what I just read.

That’s a brilliant idea though. Kush can outsource all these problems he needs to solve and give investor Visas to all the Chinese companies who he outsources stuff to. Contract a Chinese company to end the opioid crisis, give them investor visas for their trouble, just make sure their investing in Kushner owned…

And he’s about to lose whatever he has left in a shady venture capital scam. It’s just unfortunate. For the kind of money he made, he could have 2/3 of it in a regular savings account and after a few years he could have lived off the interest alone.

Someone has to remind him that the entire second half of his life awaits him after retirement and he doesn’t want to spend that time with agonizing CTE. He needs to start sitting out longer periods when he has concussions, even when facing elimination in the playoffs.

He’s someone I love to hate, and I can only hate him while he’s playing, so I want him to be healthy. That being said, the entire second half of his life is what waits for him after hockey, and it’d probably be a good thing for him to be able to spend that time without permanent post-concussion syndrome, so he should…

Thing about a 9-volt is that both conductors are on the same side, so with the right throw, you can both bruise and zap a guy with one shot.

It’s a means to an end. They use it as a tool to justify keeping him on their draft board. And getting it out there that he willingly sat for the polygraph was a proactive PR move meant to be viewed as a vote of confidence in his innocence. That was probably agreed upon by the agent beforehand, that he would sit for…

They’re inadmissible because the results are just an interpretation by the person administering the test. The person administering the test supposedly is an expert who is able to flawlessly determine a baseline physiological response to “control questions” like stating your name, and then interprets when your…

You’re right. I hate when people make that argument because the reality is that most people who make that argument probably work in a field where, if they were so inclined, they could take their skills to another employer who is not as strict about marijuana, but NFL athletes have no alternative. The NFL is the only…

Counterpoint. No. She’s earned the right, and when Californians stop electing her, she can retire.

I think part of the problem is that naval personnel very often buy extremely cheap goods, like cigarettes, while on shore leave in other countries. A former naval sub tech who I work with said after shore leave in certain countries they’d have every usable inch of storage stuffed with extremely cheap, name-brand…

Unfortunately, anything from the era of shiny foil cards is way too new. Even at 20 years old it’s still from an era after Magic became huge and they were printing millions of cards and selling worldwide. I was in it around the same time period as you, and none of the cards I bought myself are worth much of…
