  1. Well, he hasn't committed a turnover, that's about all you can say.
  2. Tbh, he looks like a freshman. And not a spectacular one.
  3. If it's any reassurance, that you have cut way back is pretty inconsistent with being an alcoholic.
  4. So, for all the attention Biden attracted for being senile/demented from #bothsides, I don't recall him ever being pointed out as unavailable or unseen for days.
  5. It is, historically, fairly normal. And the courts of appeal are mostly affirming the lower courts. It's the Supreme Court emergency or shadow docket you have to worry about.
  6. Reading.
  7. I think I'm pulling the plug. I hated the train shit and the next couple of books were ok but I find all the characters and subplots and just goofy video game bullshit ultimately too distracting and I have no idea what the fuck is going on about half the time. Only really give a fuck about Carl and Donut, but not enough to finish it, because I think I'm really going to start to actively dislike it.
  8. Oh I'm sure, but they're going to have to do some major gymnastics to do it.
  9. https://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions-orders/25-1812.OPINION.8-29-2025_2566151.pdf
  10. Fuck yes Neal. Get em The CAFCs most momentous decision.
  11. As Surlys IP counsel, I declare that variants of bro are unprotectable and thus in the public domain and free for all to uae in the noncommercial context. Thank you for your attention in this matter and govern yourself accordingly!
  12. Props for mitochondrial despair.
  13. Yeah, and that goes back to votes. Without Trump's endorsement, they're scared to death they won't get re-elected. Trump is a really unique phenomenon.
  14. Well, it won't be "Juggs" or "Black Tail," that's for sure. Even with those bolt-ons.
  15. This is all true. But, without Trump, I think they lose the base. Is anyone really going to vote for the likes of JD Vance? To answer, I think yes some will on the theory that it continues Trump's policies. But I think there are a substantial number of MAGAts that will lose all enthusiasm and go back to not voting. And I think a lot of "independent," "it's the economy" dumb-dumbs won't vote for a guy like Vance.
  16. Well, it's sales, where connections and "personality" can go a longer way than sheer smarts. And it is inherently a big ticket item, because that's where it's at with sales. But it doesn't take much real understanding of the product, unlike a lot of other big-ticket sales jobs. And commercial real estate and development can involve some intelligence and skill, but certainly doesn't have to, just the ability to talk bankers or others out of their money.
  17. Guy was indicted, tried, and convicted by the Biden administration DOJ. Surprised his case hasn't been dismissed. This one really provokes the dissonance, though: a freedumb eagle patriot gun guy that threatened LEO.
  18. One thing all this shit underscores, that I think a lot of people really didn't realize, is that a lot of, nay most, unlawful immigrants are living really normal lives, working, paying taxes, going to school, doing most stuff native-born Americans do, and generally working a lot harder than most at jobs native-borns are afraid to do. The GOP had created this notion that they were all standing around on street corners, slingin drugs and looking for white wimmen to rape and other crimes to do. Complete and utter bullshit.
  19. You left off the still topper, "malignant shit funnel."
  20. It's not completely fair, but between Witkoff, Trump, and the January 6 realtors, real-estate people could be the dumbest identifiable group of people that make good money in the country.
  21. Yep. A big part of it is how insurance forces docs to see X patients a day to "make ends meet." And then there's pharma. But I do understand that they've been forced to cut back on a lot of the "hookers and gin" pill-pushing. But damned if I don't see a comely lass with a wheeled case just about every time I go to the doc.
  22. Yes. I think too many times, a GP-type will paper over a "I feel down" diagnosis with a quick scrip for Zoloft or Prozac or whatever the SSRI du jour is. I'm not dismissing the "I feel down," but I think it requires more diagnosis and is often "subclinical" and probably best treated by natural things and maybe talk therapy. And, in the event an actual SSRI is needed or desirable, it's probably best to "medication management" it to find the right one, or if even something else is the best answer, e.g. a tricyclic.
  23. This while at the same time screaming for local control of schools and vilifying the DoEd. And ignoring the fact that school boards have been intentionally filled with MAGAts everywhere they could get away with it.
  24. On the topic of SSRIs. They are a wonder drug for many people. I think they are also over-prescribed and haphazardly prescribed. They're not all created equal and one of the dozen available may be a wonder drug, and the rest worthless for a given patient. But I would hazard an educated guess that the downside of misprescribed SSRIs is not suicidal mass murderers, but rather people with mental health issues that are going mostly unaddressed. And the answer to that is probably not more research, but actual medication management under a good psych.
  25. It should be clear by now that when professor whalejuice roadkill says "something needs further research," he intends to take it off the market or curtail access one way or another.
