  2. Fuck yes Neal. Get em The CAFCs most momentous decision.
  3. 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!
  4. Props for mitochondrial despair.
  5. 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.
  6. Well, it won't be "Juggs" or "Black Tail," that's for sure. Even with those bolt-ons.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. You left off the still topper, "malignant shit funnel."
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. The notion of using a computer chatbot as a therapist or any tool at all when one is distraught is alarming all by itself.
  19. There's actually an equally plausible Trumpian reason for dismissing that. DEI. Also, reading the article, Renato Mariotti was on the defense team. He's one of the good guys. https://www.justsecurity.org/author/mariottirenato/ But, the criminal defense lawyer's job is to get the best result, so if that involves retaining the AGs brother, I guess that's what you do.
  20. People trying to get ahead of tariff price increases.
  21. To elaborate the distinctions. Cracker Barrel changed its logo for no stated purpose, let alone a political purpose, woke or otherwise. MAGA went apeshit apparently because they deleted the old white guy. Trump weighed in on that because MAGA. Bed, Bath, and Beyond, however, specifically said that upon reopening, they wouldn't open stores in Cali https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/major-retailer-says-no-california-pulls-zero-punches-outlining-economic-reality GCN responded in Trump like fashion as a parody of Trump. These things are just not the same.
  22. It's really simple for these fucks. Anything that doesn't fit their existing worldview is a conspiracy or product of the deep state or pharma or whatever. Any bullshit information from the internet that conforms to their existing worldview is gospel truth.
  23. While that is no doubt true and I and we as a nation want to tread carefully on veteran's benefits, I know or am aware of vets collecting substantial disability for "aggravation" of existing injuries, ie high school sports or other injuries, and there is a minor industry in helping vets collect extra benefits.
  24. Nor do the charms of southern Arkansas stop at the Texas border. It's indistinguishable from East Texas and Western Louisiana. For the most part, you can't see shit past the 50-100 foot pines that grow right up to the shoulder. Last time I was in Fayetteville was for my Mom's 50th TriDelt pledge class reunion in the 90s. It's lovely up there, but even then, there were some pretty overt signs of grinding poverty on the way up into the hills.
  25. Lost a fairly epic game of TP on that one once. Had never heard of the Richard Diamond show prior to that, or really since other than in connection with that question.
