this IS funny, but South Sudan is one of those countries where “I really had to get out of there and I didn’t care how” should probably be accepted at face value

My older (65+) Caribbean relatives are unsure of their birthdays, but it’s a few months or days, not decades.

If any player has been garbage in the series, it’s DeRozan. Yesterday was the only time he’s been a net positive.

As a controls engineer, the only people in my class who are not renting several years out are those who received “loans” from their parents and/or who live in low-COL places like Regina, SK. They are working towards paying off their loans but to say someone living in, say, Toronto is *broke* for not renting is…

Odds are high you have no student debt/got gifted a down payment/live in a low COL area with one or two real employers. Good on you.

Is McCrory in any danger at all? He’s the one who enabled them and allowed them to screw over the city where he once was a “moderate” mayor.

I’m sorry you’re offended. I think the Fox Sports Facebook page sounds more like the conservative intellectual environment you’re looking for?

Don’t forget Jim Buss.

Up until the fall of the Soviet Union/the “East Asian boom” that was fueled by actions just like this, I feel like it might be a wash. If you go back far enough to the immediate post Korean War era it’s definately a wash.

Go check out what Jim Bunning is up to.

Some economists don’t like it when you mention that third world sweatshops don’t exist because of (insert overly complicated partial differential equation here), but because anyone trying to unionize or agitate for better rights gets dumped in a river.

And if they get injured and can’t make any money for the school they get dropped and kicked out before sundown.

Where they tell you what courses you can take, bully adjuncts into passing you, and occasionally create ghost courses and even faculties to meet “academic eligibility”.

The immediate post-Jordan teams were literally some of the worst basketball teams in the last 20 years. If the owner cared about basketball at all (he’s on record as saying he’d trade all his Bulls rings for one White Sox win) they’d probably be gone by now.

the Bible has been used to justify slavery, segregation, and anti-miscegenation laws

It’s a shame seeing what has happened to Nintendo in the last 10-15 years. When I was younger the worst thing about Nintendo was that they were the absentee owner of the Seattle Mariners. It would be great if they had to explain to their shareholders that they fired someone because the internet was mad about not being…

I never got why my friends were appalled by the choice of director for this movie, figuring “what the hell, it can’t be that bad”. Then I saw MoS. If you want a Michael Bay movie, but you want it to also be a real downer, he’s your man.

“What do you mean I might not be qualified to home school my kid? The only A’s he’ll ever need are Triple-As...”

20 other teams - maybe 25 others - would kill for a coach that goes to the playoffs every single year and a conference final around every 4 years.

Nope. Alberta has definately changed from the days of the Kleinasty - but I wonder how much of that is some of the more conservative “Albertans” moving back to the Maritimes and taking their views with them.
