Luka Doncic was “leading a below-average national team to a European championship against actual NBA players at age 18" good. That’s a significant step up from “potential top 10 college recruit two years from now” - the difference between an automatic #1 overall pick and probably a mid- or late-first round pick.

Europea…

I’ll try, but I’m pretty sure they’re going to tell me “Sir, this is an elementary school. You have to live in Alabama to vote for that election.”

Thanks! And the rankings are correct.

Here’s the thing, Papa Johns is probably the “best” pizza of those chains, but it’s also like twice the price. Dominos and Little Caesars are like $5-6 a pie. Papa Johns is like $12-15. It’s like comparing Del Taco and Taco Bell against a sit down Mexican chain. I would fucking HOPE that Papa Johns tastes better than…

I eat enough pizza that as long as it was from a place or brand I’d had before, I’m pretty positive I could tell you where it was from.

Pivot to video!

The one that leaves its veterans homeless and destitute so they have to rely on random strangers for even a bare minimum of an existence?

This was my concern, too, but it’s about becoming rejection-proof by *accepting* rejections as a part of life, not rejecting rejections.

You can certainly qualm that, but I do feel pretty cynical about an owner spending a total of $1.75 million, with nothing to stop them from (metaphorically, but not overly so) spending it on an ad campaign saying “The NFL: Look how much we care about black people.”

$89 million over seven years is ALOT of money. But if the NFL keeps steady at $13.5 billion/year, it constitutes less than 0.1% of the total revenue. Also a large number, but certain owners (Jerry Jones) are screaming about how much this is costing them and how it is the cause of declining TV ratings, add in the fact…

I think it’s more “we’ll do this, you shut up and be a good boy, but maybe in the end we won’t actually do it, and you’ll have no say on how or if we do it”

As a long-time Doughboys listener, my first thought was to wonder how much Matt Selman will get for all his shares.

If you clothes don’t have holes in them, how do you get them on?

Now that Alabama is set to make a pedophile a senator, this whole pee tape thing seems kinda quaint.

Split the difference, adopt the Penix as a mascot:

It’s not about “wiring”, it’s about cultural grooming. Feminism addresses this at length. There’s a tweet thread by @fivefifths / Vann R. Newkirk II that also briefly analyzes the understanding of 99.9999% of men have of the word and notion of “power”. Power in authority, power in relationships or courting, power of…

Not to bring it all back to Trump, but I think there was an anger and a galvanizing effect from his election. I think that Trump was the last push to hold powerful men accountable. I think that Weinstein broke the floodgates.

I actually agree with this to an extent. Before smoking was found bad, it was everywhere, including in candy stores and military standard KIT packages. Once we found out it was creating bad health, people pushed for it to be regulated and mandated by the government. The tobacco industry pushed back hard and it took…

To put it more compactly: if you change Obamacare’s name to Trumpcare but leave the rest of the program exactly the same, Trump’s poorly informed, cult of personality supporters will immediately reverse course and declare it the best thing ever.
