FINALLY. A fairly major media outlet finds the balls to report on this. This stuff was out there years ago. I believe someone (not me) posted it here in this forum within the past couple of three years. But, yeah—FINALLY. Now if only some major media outlet will give the same attention to the murder part, maybe we will actually get somewhere on breaking the spell.

Sexy funny women always made me melt. Catherine O’Hara and Teri Garr back in the day, definitely. Mary Tyler Moore before that. Kristen Bell in recent years. Sabrina Carpenter has that potential if she wants to … ahem … tap that. Catherine’s passing is a little shocking because she’s been so active so recently. She had a great producer character in The Studio, and I considered her part of the core of the secondary cast on that show. I was looking forward to seeing more of that from her in the coming season.

Yes, that’s so true. I assume they use that line of questioning specifically so they can weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in their beloved corps. The product or service itself, though? That reflects on leadership, not rank and file, so feedback on that is a non-starter.

There are these three guys on my softball team who curl during the winter, meaning, an actual league in an actual suburb, like, Buffalo Grove or someplace else way out there. I’ve never curled and expressed interest and they said I should come out and try it and they’ll let me know when.

Have you seen bowling on TV lately? Now it seems all the pros are wearing flashy colors—the more the better—and talking trash to opponents. PBA is trying to attract a certain type that likes watching that kind of thing.

There’s no right way to want and root for a team in a league. Some people love dynasties; others want new teams winning every year. Neither is objectively better than the other, right? The one constant is that everybody wants their own team to win a lot—but even then, I can see where a Braves fans in the 90s and 00s, and also just recently, would become blasé, even bored, of winning the division and making the playoffs every year. I think it’s good for the soul of a fan base to see their perennial playoff team go through a reset every once in a while. Cardinal fans are going through that right now. They’ve been “struggling” for a decade and even when they’ve made the playoffs, they’ve gotten wiped out fast. Not that I am rooting for Cardinals fans, necessarily, but going through rough times makes you really appreciate it when you get back in the thick of things. That’s why I’m enjoying the Tigers right now. We have a legitimate chance now, whereas we didn’t before.

The Premier League—most pro soccer leagues, in fact, with at least one glaring American exception—is a purely capitalist enterprise. There is no revenue share for the purpose of keeping clubs afloat for the league, which makes sense, since the league has a different makeup of clubs every season. But none of the lower leagues help keep their clubs afloat, either. Leagues don’t stress out when one of the clubs playing within is having existential financial troubles, since any failing sides are replaced with another side waiting in the wings. As such, as a purely capitalist venture, football clubs can and do “wind up”—meaning shut down and go out of business. Ten different clubs have wound up just in the last 35 years, and Reading FC is on the verge of doing so right now.

As you imply, I don't object to the question itself, but rather it's positioning as the first question asked. Ask it at the end, after you've given me an opportunity to feed back meaningfully on your product.

To be fair, baseball was a pay to win league well before the free agency era. The Yankees and Cardinals paid big money for decades so they could win. Some of the money they spent even went to players.

I would never wear a Skubal jersey because his name is on it, and I will not wear another man's name on my back. Exception: anyone who was a professional athlete when I was 11 years old.

I'd guess it's more likely that MeidasTouch and any other professional media organization that distributes these screenshots will get sued for libel.

OK, there's the something worse, in that screenshot on the right.

That's a good point your post raises: how much at hand here is honest ignorance, how much is willful ignorance, how much is denial, and how much is acceptance/embrace? Taking a WAG, I'd figure it's something like 10-40-30-20.

The way to free oneself of a troll is to proceed as though they're not there, which includes not only blocking then, but also, not unblocking blocked posts to engage with them, or even referring to them in other posts. I myself have been guilty of both. Attention, any attention, even the level of attention in this post, is oxygen.

Was it related to the screenshot in that tweet on the prior page you suggested could have been doctored?

That he raped children has been baked into the equation since almost the very beginning. The horrible truth must be worse than even that, and we've gotten glimpses of that already.

Tokyo is biiiig, and there are a lotttt of people ...

Eye-opening.

Some will say yes, and sooner than later.

I refuse to take any customer service survey in which the very first question is, "Would you recommend (our service) to a friend?" That's when I know for certain all they are looking for is a verifiable marketing metric, and not for serious feedback on what's good about the service and what they can do to improve it.

Also, literally blaming Teh Left's rhetoric for forcing them to have to execute a citizen they'd already subdued.

Thanks for clarifying that one. Maybe they're trying to tweak the blue-leaning state with the ruby red county, so that they fight each other. That also tracks because the last thing this administration wants is for people to reconcile and get along. That doesn't help them.
