I was on the fence about attending a world cup (it would be my first) when the sleaze has been trying to say it’s “his” for the last year. Since FIFA has been corrupt forever it probably means I won’t be able to enjoy it as much because I’ll be considering what I’d be endorsing. It’s disappointing, I’ve wanted to go to one since I was a kid but considering there will probably be ICE raids in the concourse or psychopaths trying to drive trucks into the crowd to kill the [insert group] I’ll have to forgo it.

I’m surprised I have heard anything about boycott here–therr was a ton of push for that during Qatar build up around human rights, and nothing for this? I’d hope the US gets boycotted by whole nations ala East German/Russian Olympics.

What a life, lived.

Right. Off.

Between skeletal structure, evolution and biology we have a damn good idea. While we may not know exactly what skin color adapted to a given period 70 million years ago in a certain region or how much feathers some might have had I guess I understood we had a compelling body of ideas drawn from research at this point for many species. What are the parts you’re referring to that are so unknown?

Haha, I bought 200 shares at $10.12 and sold at $12 along with a bit of other stocks I had because I needed a down payment for my house. After splits since, last time I decided to depress myself looking at one of those calculators it would be like 800k.

I’ve learned playing (free) poker though, you’ll eat yourself alive if you focus on the woulda/could/shoulda and end up making more mistakes. In poker (and investing) you do the best you can with incomplete information and sometimes it sucks. Move on.

I work in HR. I might steal this as some perspective for when someone insults the collective intelligence by claiming they couldn’t have known and shouldn’t suffer any consequences.

Bad HR immediately posts a sign saying Soda pouring near inclined load conveyance is prohibited by Management and has everyone take escalator soda slip safety training.

Good HR fires the dipshit as an example of what happens to dipshits, so people self-regulate and much less collective time can be spent on Stupid island having moronic conversations.

If they claim you left your favorite sweater there it’s dead to you. Car keys? They can have it.

“it’s difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not.”

I’m pretty sure anyone in the US has had enough pharma ads smashed in their faces for conditions they don’t have their quota for a free vaccine should have been met about 20 years ago.

Pack in that pork. 🐷

This is a really nice list, I’d have preferred Django Unchained to inglorious bastards by far.

Woody Harrelson’s character in Zombieland was perfect.

At this point, any bumps in the road to unfettered misogynist, bigoted, surveillance christofacist power would be helpful while the left gets a real party together.

Article yesterday said Chicago had just confirmed a lead pipe project expected to finish in 2077.

TF is wrong with administration around the lakes? How can they be allowed to have so little progress and so slowly as a normal course of business? Insulated career politicians? Bribes?

Change your luggage combo too.

serendipitously

When an article about VC-owned private car hailing apps not being convenient is considered failed “public transit”. Imagine how hard the lobby will be by VC owned Uber and the rest of its ill against developing transit near stadiums. Their dynamically priced margins depend on busses, rail and subways not existing.

I generally think of it as the combination of poor project management dependent on 3rd party consultants, mix in the larger infrastructure of state being aligned with corps on not wanting it to work “too” well, and large governments being unfortunately comprised of people and structures inexperienced in change–which exacerbates #1 on my list.

And by infuriated trump, they mean infuriated his election box funder attendees Bezos, Cool, Pichai. Of course I could be way off and it may be an innocent coincidence…🤑
