I really think you’ve complete misinterpreted or misunderstood the point(s) of my first post.

I’m not, in any way, defending what DeSantis has been doing. You’ve said yourself, just now: you don’t live here anymore. You don’t know the politics on the ground, because you aren’t constantly interacting with people who…

I’m a wrestling fan myself, and you hit the nail on the head with Punk.

I think he saw it as a challenge and a nice payday. He wasn’t in a position to work a part-time schedule like Brock Lesnar or Goldberg. He wasn’t making $20m a movie like The Rock. Hell, he wasn’t even the highest paid full-time star on the roster w…

The biological mom openly admitted that the girlfriend takes care of the kids for weeks at a time. One of the barest necessities is having a roof over your head, so it follows that if the girlfriend is going to keep watching these kids, she needs a place to stay. I find it odd that you’re more questioning of the…

I’m not saying anybody should’ve donated. That’s them and their money. I’m simply saying that if people have an opportunity to make an absurd amount of money by typing a few words, all because it’s on the internet, good on them and good on the kids if they reap any of the rewards (hopefully).

Hmm. So the girlfriend of the father spends enough time with the kids, that they call her mom/mother, and their biological mother seems okay enough with the arrangement that she will drop them off at the girlfriend’s house for a week (or weeks) at a time?

I really don’t see a problem with her calling them her…

I mean, I could even get it if you were physically AT a casino (I live near the Seminole Hard Rock in Tampa, so I’ve had a lot of experience). But shit, you can drink, smoke, get food, people watch, they pipe in smells, no windows, flashing lights, all designed to put you in a good and festive mood.

But sitting at…

I’ve seen otherwise relatively intelligent friends (in their various fields, not necessarily politics or political theory) fall down into the weeds and into fringe theories, in a rather rapid way as well.

I’ve wondered why that is, and I’ve had a few thoughts. The simplest explanation (and one I think holds true as a…

It’s also not illegal for a state or municipality (or a school) to legally require vaccines. Supreme Court precedent backs this up.

Barrett may be a loon, but most justices are loathe to unilateral upend Supreme Court precedent on their lonesome (which is what would’ve happened if she agreed with the students and…

Dear God,

What kind of fucking world do we live in where people are watching someone else play slots?

I’ll admit, as a young(er) poker player, I’d watch live poker, but at least there’s the physical human element. But with slots? Craps? It’s all luck. How is this exciting? You can literally find free slots online if you…

Tyron, and these other fighters, are in it for the payday.

They realize they aren’t gonna make McGregor money in the UFC (or any MMA arena, for that matter), and while this YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Social Media in general money train is still picking up passengers, they’re more than happy to nab a ticket.

Financially,…

You know I’m definitely biased since I’ve been here in Tampa and don’t really have to worry about using Spirit. I also completely forgot about Ft. Myers and Sarasota, but as a vacation destination, they’re really for older people who I doubt (or maybe hope) wouldn’t used Spirit if alternatives are available.

As I said…

From the picture in the article, I thought it was Woody Harrelson

Frankly, their talent shows when you think about how much of that season they had to scrap since, according to them (and I believe it), they assumed that Hillary would win and had much of the season framed around that. For a show with such a short turn around time, Trump winning was definitely a spanner in the works.

Co…

The series became a juggernaut after Vice City dropped, and once music publishers and rights holders saw how much the games were selling, I wouldn’t be surprised if they heavily increased the amount they’d charge to license various songs.

It’s also a reason why they’ve avoided using really high-priced celebrity VAs…

Andrew was a horrible hurricane, but it was also nearly 30 years ago.

Texas, Louisiana, and New York have all suffered through worse hurricanes than have hit Florida since Andrew, even including Irma and Michael. In fact, it’s been a roughly 12-year cycle for major, Cat-3 and above hurricanes to make direct landfall in…

About the hurricanes: people who aren’t from Florida overstate the significance of hurricanes, specifically major hurricanes, which are rather rare. Nevertheless, your point stands, but those estimates have been wildly off for a significant number of years. Unlike the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons where most major…

The V10 Lambo’s have been wonderful. I’ve never cared for the Murcielago or the Aventador.

The Diablo is my favorite, and the later Countach’s are close.

And cocaine and a gold-plated M1911 in the tiny-ass glovebox.

I live in Florida. It’s rather interesting, especially since I tangentially work in politics.

There’s a huge contingent of relatively young, well-to-do people in a lot of the major cities (I’m in Tampa), who love and support DeSantis for one reason: we’ve been open. Being able to go out and see friends for the last…

Exactly.

I live in Tampa, and the Tampa-Miami Spirit route is incredibly popular for exactly the reasons you stated. Many people aren’t checking a bunch of bags, and it’s a 40 minute flight, so being uncomfortable isn’t much of an issue (and considering the length, I don’t even think they serve drinks).

It’s incredibly…
