Absolutely, I agree, but on a semi-related note, have you ever considered the selection pressures obscenely rich have faced over the past few hundred years? It seems to me that they would not only have zero impetus to do any kind of good whatsoever, but that, within their milieu, it may be likely that being an evil…

Fuck. Now I do.

I understand, that bullshit on the rape thread has you rattled. Either that, or you’re trying to prove you empathize with women ;-)

Sorry, friend, life is beautiful. It’s what the evil and ignorant human beings do to each other and the planet itself that is depressing.

“I for one am sick of dealing with men who choose not to empathize.”

Every man has a mom so that’s the easiest and always accessible way to imagine the horror of rape.

My accuser testified my dick was never in her mouth (after going down on me to get things going) when the mouth swab from rape kit came back positive in both mouth and vag. She also testified that she has a condition where she can’t say no when under duress or somesuch.

Men will never take rape seriously until it’s a capital crime, which I believe it should be.

I mean, they are that close to being actual volunteers.

Pay a lot, cry once.

Let’s see: Brown, Columbia JD, then founded an investment firm. Later bought the Brewers from Bud f n Selig’s family.

You got my star, but DG violates privates.

That made me literally LOL, but now it’s kind of just astonishing. His signing of Bill Russell in 1956 was probably very color-blind and forward-thinking, not to mention brilliant. OTOH, if I were that cynical (and I’m not) signing a black man to a Boston team in the fucking 50s could be construed to be the cruelest…

Oh yeah, I forgot that he owns the Penguins (and hockey in general), but he doesn’t really count because he was a player whose contract basically enveloped the team he played for Blob-style. Plus, he’s Canadian, so his intrinsic niceness gives him an unfair advantage.

That’s what you get for choosing a team just because it has the coolest fucking name in the history of sport. When I was 6, I chose the Cowboys. Fuck the Lone Ranger.

Looks like a slave log from the early-1800's American South.

In Gökhan Töre’s defense, I didn’t know food could be that good until I went to Türkiye (Turkey). Good God, I’d be one fat fuck if I lived there.

Similar to commodities futures trading, looks to me like simple legal high-stakes gambling.

As is being chained to that pole.

Cool, David Montgomery was a paper boy. As someone who got up a couple of times to help his brother with that awful job, it sure can make for a person who appreciates the life of a normal working-class person.
