There’s a lot of rumblings within the community that this was all a big insurance scam set up by Whitehead himself.

Thank you for the kind reply (seems like a rarity nowadays).

I don’t disagree with you in the general sense about the obvious double-standard when it comes to black quarterbacks versus non-black quarterbacks. For what it’s worth, when it comes to “pass-first” black quarterbacks, we’ve really only had a few that have…

Is it striking that Johnny Manziel never had a “don’t be a drunken idiot clause” in any of his contracts, but Murray has a “do your homework with the TV off” clause. Racism, or inept management?? How about both.

The thing with Prime Video (and I have a Prime subscription for simply buying shit, so it’s a nice value-add) is that Amazon makes so much money doing other things, that they can afford to not pay as much attention to it as other companies where it’s the primary or secondary revenue stream.

If it fails (or doesn’t do…

I just find it amazing that it should be expected that a person totally ignorant on helicopters is supposed to magically devine the tail rotor and hazards associated with it. Sitting at your computer chair it’s easy to point out, but in the moment, it’s incredibly obvious that an unknowledgeable person might walk…

“Teenager”?

The dude was 22. No need to infantalize a grown man to diminish personal responsibility.

He probably shouldn’t have been let on to the tarmac aside from getting on/off the helicopter.

Not for nothing, but wouldn’t he be able to hear the tail rotor spinning even if he wasn’t actively looking at the rotor? Granted, they’re at an airfield, and there’s probably other aircraft/helicopters whirring around, but at a certain point, you gotta possess some spatial and situational awareness when it comes to…

Not to needlessly pathologize him, but for a lot of kids who get very little affection from their parents, any attention is often seen as a net positive, even if it’s in the form of punishment.

I got GTA5/Online on opening night back in 2013 for the 360, then got it again for the PC release in 2015 (and the last time I did a Gamestop midnight release, alas), and absolutely loved the early multiplayer, exploits and all (oh the glory days of Mixed Up With Coke, Violent Duct, and Rooftop Rumble).

Now I’ll watch…

Regarding the opening montage and song choice.

As soon as I heard it, I instantly thought of the montage from Breaking Bad Season 5 episode 3 where Walt and Jesse were cooking meth in the “fumigated” house to The Peddlers’ “On a Clear Day”. The setups were similar (a montage with a song playing over). The songs possses…

That was my read as well.

It was all but spelled out in Breaking Bad that Gus and Max were in a relationship, and that Gus’ current marriage is merely a facade he puts on, like so many others, to disguise who he really is.

It also ties in to how he dies: having half/most of his face blown off. The proverbial “mask”…

In the first video, the character clearly looks down at the two girls, and waves them off in a different manner than he/she was previously doing.

The performer looked down for a reason: because he/she saw two little girls standing there. Otherwise, why look down?

From watching the video, the character did the finger wag “no” to someone off camera, presumably the parent who wanted the character to hold their child.

The character then looks down, right at the two black girls, and waves them off, before proceeding out of frame. It’s the looking down part that’s clear, because the…

A lot of it is simply circuitous advertising. Xposed gets a bunch of press because he’s associated with one of the biggest musicians/rap stars in the world. Drake gets a bunch of press and gaming bonafides. The prebuilt company gets a bunch of press because they built PCs for a top Twitch streamer and Drake. The…

From a quick search, Japan is a country where truth isn’t an absolute defense to defamation claims (unlike the US). So long as what’s said is considered to do irrevocable harm to a subject’s reputation (even if the statement is 100% true), defamation claims can continue.

While that would help the balance sheet (because the overhead in terms of real estate and wages for in-store workers and inventory is absurd), they’d be entering an established market that’s dominated by players (namely Amazon and in-house gaming storefronts like Steam) who do what Gamestop currently does so much…

Rob clearly got on steroids/HGH/TRT, and he’s purposefully obscuring that reality by using misdirection via comedy (talking about the absurdity of claims of just nutrition, working out, training, etc.)

A man his age doesn’t go from ok-body, to overweight, to absolutely ripped, within a 2 1/2 year span unless he’s an…

I know you’re being a bit tongue and cheek about Rob (who I think is wonderful, along with the rest of IASIPH), but unfortunately, he’s fallen into the trap (perhaps willfully) of so many other male Hollywood stars who outright refuse to admit that they’re taken steroids/HGH/TRT to get/maintain their bodies.

So, it’s…

You’re absolutely right.

In a response I made above, I stated that the few hedge funds who went short were correct in general, but wrong specifically. You explained it correctly. They were right to short, because the share price in the $500-600 range was untenable. However, they were wrong specifically, in that they…
