Is Hogwarts Legacy the one where you get to stuff the trans kids into lockers? Arc Raiders for $32 is tempting. Feel like I'd get bored though. I need bf6 to go on sale.

There's actually some really good data out there on micro-loans, for example. Incredibly effective at helping people pull themselves out of the depths of poverty. There's also tons of great data on education. Scholarships and such - private or state-funded - are both incredibly effective charity and a really smart social investment ($1 invested in educating someone yields many more dollars in economic benefit and activity for society as a whole). Some other items get more complex, but even things like "free school lunches" have pretty good data. They are cheap, and there's lots of data on how much better a fed student performs compared to a hungry one. Charity of investing in infrastructure is another one. Helping a community develop a clean, local clean water source is a force-multiplier: it frees people up from being a "water procurer" to becoming someone who can engage in productive, paying economic activity. In short, there is lots of data out there that's pretty reliable and makes sense. It's a good idea to vet any project and any charity provider. But none of that takes away from some baseline humanity, too. If I see you shivering, I should help you get warm. If I see you hungry, I should offer you food. Does it make me feel good? Sure. But that's not why I'm doing it (or, it shouldn't be). I should do it because it that is what humanity - as we should all want it to be - behaves. And yeah, I can't deny that it matters to me, selfishly. That I measure myself against what I think I SHOULD do. And I guarantee you, I only find myself lacking. Every time I think about it. I am positive that in my last days, I'll absolutely ask the question Pvt. Ryan asked at the end: And I guarantee you, even if my loved ones tell me "yes, of course," I won't believe them. Because there is always something more we could have done. Humanity could have done better, and been better. But it fell short, because I fell short. Is that selfish of me? Almost certainly. Add it to the pile of "ways in which Brisketexan is shitty." We're a messy bunch, we humans. Even when we're trying to do good, it turns out that we're shitty.

Pretty lazy and quick for an auditor. Perfect.

One of the things my employer does is match charitable donations dollar for dollar. They have to be legit entities, like not your kid's baseball team; but rather YMCA or Big Brothers-Big Sisters Through the years we have gotten them to match when we hit a team goal for giving to local food bank or women's shelter, for example. That's a good way to drive dollars, which matter dearly; but volunteering time is also a tremendous way to give back.

It's classy that Utah doesn't claim 2008. Wouldn't blame them if they did. -
Gosh, it would be terrible if he were broke.

Whittingham wanted out before the PE parasites took over. He could be a calming caretaker corch for Meatchicken right now. -
If he’s the guy he better have a list of targets and be ready to go shopping

Jury question for the court: Can we find the prosecution witness guilty?

What are the top five scandadlous programs in the top five winningest programs is kind of a dumb list. At least go top ten plus you can’t have a meaningful list when Miami and A&M are left off the list those are two of the dirtiest programs in the 80s/90s that ever were. Texas a fucking church lady comparatively.

Absolutely.

This is the 2nd show in which I've heard that Georgia Satellites song, the other being Talamasca. Did the rights expire or something? If Ainsley gets any more annoying I'm going to start hoping the Cartel kills her first.

I think they had an unofficial coach in waiting there so this wont move the chaos needle much -

All of this Knoxville hotel talk while good is burying the fact that Ole Miss and F1 are on the same weekend so act accordingly.
