Naming them as underwriters of Lloyds is good leverage though. They don’t want their name dragged through the mud. To much rides on their reputation for insuring anything.

....wait, they are estranged? like, actually? I don’t watch the show, but I had just kind of assumed that the people negotiating Aaron’s state farm contract told him it was bad for the brand, and he shouldn’t be there.

I did a 3 mile run last night with the app open, and it gave me .8km

My point was judge him for being an asshole - don’t try to armchair diagnose what he has seen, or done, or what his mental state could be. Judge him on his actions, don’t try to diagnose him.

Thank you for acknowledging what I was saying. I would reiterate though, that your definition of “peaceful” is still in a combat zone. And that you don’t actually know what he’s been diagnosed with.

I’m not arguing with you about your characterization of him. I think he’s a fucking violent prick who lends his mother an unearned veneer of patriotism, while also disgracing a uniform I love, that has enough problems of its own.

I say this as a veteran myself, and someone who works in higher education for veterans. You don’t have to see “combat” for it to change you. Many of my friends who never left the FOB, but had to deal with the bloody vehicles, or sitting helpless with while listening to the radio transmissions of units under attack…

fuck yeah, rock on, and do what you need to do for you. I hope I’m that driven 20 years from now!

That got intense, quick.

There is no one worthy enough. Only those who aspire to such heights.

They don’t CARE about the evidence.

None of the schools up here have football, so PSU is THE team up here. Honestly, most people in eastern PA, unless they went to another school, live and die PSU.

Working on a college campus in NE PA - I can confirm that so far they are going with option 1.

Totally unrelated - right after college, I played rugby with Newt Gingrich’s lesbian sister. My favorite thing to do when drunk was yell “Newt Gingrich’s lesbian sister is my hooker,” very, very loudly.

This might sound weird, but after listening to it the first time, I sat down and had a hard moment when I realized how many of the founding fathers probably had PTSD, and how they carried on despite that. I’ve made a couple of my harder cases listen to it. Everyone has come away with a different realization, but every…

My Regulatory law professor used the Catch rule to demonstrate what it looks like when a regulatory body doesn’t have to answer to the people, and therefore doesn’t have anyone to tell them “bad dog”.

When Obama got re-elected during my first term in law school, our favorite blonde, tri delt from texas didn’t come to school because she was concerned for her physical safety now that the liberals were in charge. No joke. Our writing professor read the email she sent the instructors to us.

I’m still unclear if she knew…

Dad woke me up and carried me downstairs to watch the Berlin wall come down. I was about six years old, and I remember thinkinghow mad he got when I jumped out back fence to play with the neighbor’s kids, rather than going out front.

I worked for the US coast guard translating and approving Maritime Law training programs for Latin American Navies for about 8 months and it was the best legal job ever.

I have a friend from law school who handles nothing but tax filings for professional athletes, and he says the state by state taxation is the worst thing he’s ever dealt with.
