  1. Needs some chili dog.
  2. Have you all been living under a rock w/r/t police obligations? There is nothing they can be arrested for. The Supreme Court has literally ruled that police have no legal obligation to protect and/or serve. A cop could just sit there and blow bubbles while watching someone mow down 50 kids and there would be no legal penalty. Conversely they can kill someone in a plaid shirt and suffer no penalty because there was only a department policy against killing someone in a striped shirt. Ok, that last part had just a bit of hyperbole but not the first. There is nothing these shit bags can be arrested for.
  3. I believe that @Bookman was referencing @Vegas64 who a couple of days ago said: "I think worst case scenario is Elon bullies his way to renegotiate a better deal under false bot pretenses because Twitter will capitulate." I
  4. Universal translator yo. It works wonders (except of course for Tamarians and their dumb metaphor-based language).
  5. Octopi has never been correct. That's because octopus is of Greek origin, not Latin.
  6. Embrace it and toughen up! Of course if you can't afford a $436 water bill for your landscaping or a 15KW unit (and a lot of electrical work done so the house can hook up to it) then you're pretty well fucked and might die. That is indeed what makes Texas, Texas.
  7. I don't think anyone in that band is scouting for cunt.
  8. @Hank Kingsley - not sure if you're still banking the Pete drum but I think of you when I think of Pete. This may be one of the best responses to a loaded abortion question I've seen.
  9. No drama, no hat game, just letting himself have this day. Hook 'em young man!
  10. I think it's pretty clear that @RGBIII fucked up the petition.
  11. To be clear I don't think this 10 year old was "looking for dick". I didn't see in the article that she was a victim of rape. On second read I do see that she was referred to the clinic by a sexual assault doctor, so presumably was a victim of some bad shit. Even if she wasn't sexually assaulted, clearly she wouldn't be old enough to meaningfully consent to any sexual relationship and I would surmise that she was coerced in some way. I wasn't trying to cast aspersions on her at all and if I gave that impression then I chose my words poorly. More just railing at the system.
  12. Not to state the obvious but something is pretty broken for a 10-year old to be sexually active at all, let along getting pregnant. She should of course have access to abortion and other reproductive care, and shouldn't have to travel to another state, but this story is gross for multiple reasons. I don't know how common this is (suspect and hope it is super rare) but in a functioning society there would be more resources dedicated to prevention of scenarios like this.
  13. Sure. But just like Wulaw absolves Harden for leaving Houston even though Harden was an instrumental part in Harden getting Westbrook and Paul over to Houston, Durant was an instrumental part in getting Kyrie and Harden over. Demand a trade after the situation he helped create didn't work out doesn't look great. Perfect legal, nothing unethical, but distasteful (imo).
  14. Ok, you just inspired me. I had watched the Wisconsin one and was so depressed that I avoided the Arizona one. This one is also depressing certainly but holy shit it is amazing. Mama Mia!
  15. Yes but again they are not as good as if he had not publicly declared he wanted a trade. I certainly agree that this is better for the Nets than if he hadn't signed, but that's not the baseline anymore. He signed, that's the new baseline. Now the comparison is not "Durant demanding a trade" vs "Durant not signing", it's "Durant demanding a trade" vs "Durant playing out his contract".
  16. Bit of a weird take here. I don't think anyone is saying Durant signing the extension is worse than him not signing. Have you seen that argument? The harm for Brooklyn is not based on whether he signed or not. They wanted him signed, they offered him a financial agreement to pay him for 4 years of service, he agreed, and then he changed his mind. Brooklyn is going to get value but they will very likely not get as much value as Durant himself - that's just the way trades for megastars work. That's where the harm is. It's of course perfectly legal but a bit distasteful.
  17. You must be an incredibly shitty lawyer. Being against a law banning something doesn't mean I'm for that same thing. I believe you've stated in the past you are against criminalization of marijuana. Do you consider yourself in favor of minors being given marijuana then? I am for doctors and patients being able to discuss and decide upon appropriate treatments and interventions.
  18. I like this a lot more with team option year 3, and I hope (but know that's not the case) that in year 1 the bonus is tied to games lost.
  19. Lol, I'm not even mad. That's why baseball is the best.
  20. Man his trade value could have been just a tiny bit higher with a bit more lift.
  21. Durant is sure as shit not alone in this. Contracts mean nothing in the NBA. It's bizzaro world in which I might actually be rooting for the owners in the next contract dispute. Players forcing trades with multiple years on contracts is fucking ridiculous.
  22. Agreed, forgot about the Bucks. He will get some shit for sure if he goes to the Suns / Miami / wherever but as long as it's not the Bucks, Celtics, or Warriors I think those calling him out over any given destination would be in the minority.
