Would anyone really be surprised if the dead “gunmen” were patsies somehow arranged by this “Defense Initiative?” It’s just a little too on-the-nose, perfect, ideal possible desired outcome for these people, no?

There is no longer any excuse for ignorance. You literally have all of the world’s information at your fingertips.

You’ll notice the non-white and/or female GOP candidates are extraordinarily weak, even for Republicans. They are absolutely scrambling to stop looking like just old, white assholes, and are putting out these losers and oh my god I just realized that this is how they think affirmative action works.

Not sure about a favorite, exactly, but Balvenie 10 is an excellent value. Similarly, for bourbon, I very much like Bulleit. Yours?

Even though I think Johnny Blue is the second-most overrated spirit in the world, that’s still awful.

Fuck. I literally know of 10 locations just off the top of my head that are showing the fight illegally tonight. Who do I call for my $2500?

And I wrote this before reading the story, and, Jesus, ya’ll muhfuckas real lucky you ain’t get sued into the ground. I almost hope you still do. Fuck that and fuck ya’ll. I’m one of those staunch, annoying, you-don’t-fuck-with-someone’s-food type restaurant workers, and ya’ll muhfuckas would have had to fight me to…

I have literally refused to make someone a Macallan and Coke, but that was a pretty unique place I was working, and they definitely weren’t allergic to not having a 12-year-old single-malt ruined like that.

Commission-based PPV policing! I should have expected nothing less from boxing promoters! Though I guess their way does make sense, but still, unsurprisingly, kind of despicable. Smug snark begrudgingly rescinded.

In high school I pretty much lived on ice cream sandwiches for lunch because this shit doesn’t surprise me in the tiniest.

It’s funny, there must be thousands of these “PPV cops,” whose pay is, obviously, figured into the PPV cost. Doesn’t it seem that they could eliminate the enforcement, significantly lower the cost, significantly increase purchases, and the loss due to “theft” would end up a wash?

There is a very large Mexican club near where I work that is showing the fight; wonder if they got some kind of deal through Tecate. Their capacity vis-a-vis fire codes would seem to make it absolutely prohibitively expensive.

Haha, I just posted my similar story, but we only had to pay $4k.

Worked in a bar on Smith St. in Brooklyn years ago. The owner ran the cable line from the apartment upstairs (he owned the building) to avoid paying commercial cable rates. One Saturday we convinced him to pay for a Tyson fight. Next week, he gets a bill from Don King Productions for ~$4000. We didn’t get any more…

One of my former bipolar meds affected my eye muscles. I was accused of being drunk at work because my eyelids were drooping a bit. I told them what medication I took, and why. I was fired the next day over “safety concerns.”

No, what hurts the cause is the “left” being too full of bullshit fucking pussies who are more frightened by dropping poll numbers than the increasingly authoritarian regimes spread across large swaths of flyover country to actually stand up to these kinds of garbage laws.

I would add to this: don’t worry if it seems like you’re not the absolute best dog parent in the world. There’s a huge industry trying to convince you of your inadequacy if you don’t spend $35 on a special toy or whatever. Remember that you are doing well if your dog is happy and healthy.

He was going 105 in a 30 (approx. 170 in a 50). They ain’t make the speed limit on that road 50km/h just for shits. Just glad nobody (else) was killed. Can’t say I’m thrilled he was uninjured.

White people in the south (and likely other bastions of anachronistic racism) do this regarding P0Cs all the time. It’s a way of assuring each other that, “Haha, aren’t we all part of the dominant cohort, here?” and, thus, establishing common ground.

Fuckin’ kangaroos.
