  1. I think Lopez +333 is the bet. If it was neutral odds, I'd probably take Loma in a decision, but I think the value is on Lopez at +333. Loma has the edge on technique but I'll always take the just as quick and more powerful younger fighter with a chip on his shoulder over the slightly more technical older fighter.

    Deal with what is in front of you instead of making things up in your mind to be offended about.

    Many people, myself included, prefer a process or at least a set of principles for dealing with issues that will arise in the future. It adds some predictability and order. Dealing with everything in a vacuum on an ad hoc basis is not sustainable. So, it's only natural to try to divine principles or rules for future scenarios when assessing a current scenario.

    Ya I laughed at the Citibank article I read the other day.  Headline was something to the effect of "huuuuuge 3B fine".  Looked it up, approximately 2 day's revenue.  Same thing for JPM and their fine a few weeks/months? ago.  They're actively incentivized to do what they're doing.  I feel like we're whistling all the way to the graveyard, but TINA.

    I don't think this is right. Do you have a cite? 

    Looking at their 2019 annual report, they had about 74 billion in total net revenue. Your numbers would put their total net revenue at 547.5 billion, approximately7x-8x more than their actual revenues.

    Well I disagree.  In the real world, half assed losers that make unreasonable demands don’t get their way.  They get a pat on the head and are told to shut up and color.   
     

    Half assed Losers are easily replaced.  A bunch of 3 stars that love their school and go all in for practice and on the field would win more than this shit.  

    I think that's changing. I won't get into the specifics because that's outside the scope of this thread. But, to give a brief high-level overview, I work at a pretty large company and receive racial justice training, messaging, counseling sessions, meetings, etc. on a near daily frequency. There certainly is not a "pound sand" attitude toward people making demands. 

  5. I like the Eyes and don't think it's racist. I also don't think we should stop doing things that have some Kevin Bacon style connection to racism.

    But, I think the players ultimately will get their way. Jumping in front of the racial justice bulldozer in 2020 takes a really strong backbone, and I don't think CDC and the admin have that backbone. 

  6. As someone who is a casual fan of a non big 6 team, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel. My initial inclination was to be against the proposal when I read it was from ManU and Liverpool, but that's probably unfair to judge the proposal by the submitters. After reading slightly more, it seems like my initial instinct was correct, however. It's really annoying that they threatened to leave the EPL. Are we already that far along in an protracted negotiation that teams are threatening to leave the league?

  7. Also team Armenia, at least in the sense that I hope the Armenians living in the disputed territory are not killed or forced to go to other parts of Armenia.

    I'm primarily team Armenia because Erdogan is a despot seemingly intent on continued imperialism and murder against Kurds, Cypriots, Armenians, etc. The West seems committed to continued appeasement. I hope someone, shit even Iran, decides against continued appeasement.

    Who is going to call in the outside agency though?

    I'm just spitballing. I'm not involved in policing, prosecution, or law enforcement. 

    The state could have a law or agreements with local towns mandating that for any county under a certain size, allegations of crimes against a police officer must be immediately reported to a certain state office. Or a small town could have an agreement with a nearby larger city. I think it would be appropriate for large cities and states to have separate and independent law enforcement and prosecutors who investigate criminal allegations against police officers.

  9. I live in Washington state. The Republican nominee running for governor, Loren Culp, is the police chief in Republic, WA. He is the police chief of a force of one. He's the only person on the force. If he committed a crime, obviously he couldn't investigate himself. With these tiny town police forces, it is only logical that an outside person has to come in to investigate the suspect. It's no different than a small town DA's office. If there are 2 DAs in the town, it's not credible for DA 1 to prosecute DA 2. You have to bring in someone from the outside.

    Jesus Christ dude.  The Green New Deal is close to, but not exactly, the Biden Plan.  His comment last night was his way of saying "I am my own man and create my own plan and am not owned by the left, although I will hear input from them."  This isn't fucking rocket science.

    I completely accept that his comment last night was a gaffe or mistake. Perhaps he got caught up in the moment and misspoke. I tend to believe what people say rather than re-write their quotes for them, as you chose to do.
