Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)
UpperWestside replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
I saw it once. It was more than I needed to see it. Reveling in violence as a society just begets more of it. We passed that point a good while back though. -
The last part is probably why I left. Watching what should be fiction now possibly turning into reality kinda hits home with me. Hoffman’s kid is going to be in some really big movies. He’s not getting jobs because of his name. He’s talented.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

I cry no tears for the NYT. I could not possibly care any less if they ceased operations because they deserve a giant part of the blame for the last decade. Also Haberman can get thrown in the middle of the Pacific with no life raft. You got your access and you helped destroy this country because you wanted a story more than doing the right thing. -

I am glad to hear you have a plan. The money at that point that you’ll leave behind won’t mean much if you are facing an imminent threat to you and the life of your family. Just getting out is most important. You just rebuild from there is that is what becomes necessary. It won’t be easy, but the alternative is not fun. -

You’ve already been given that sign. It would be wise to have a plan that allows you to get out on short notice, even if it means leaving material possessions behind. -

Met a guy here today who is retired now. Had lived in Hawai'i for years but left to go back to the Mainland as he took an early retirement. He is from Jersey and is a Democrat. He lives in Hilton Head now and he said he told his neighbor after the election last year that he just killed his restaurant business with a vote for TFG. Fast forward a few months and his neighbor is complaining about rising food costs, especially fruits and vegetables. Said his neighbor told him what his margins were now (5 percent). He said if that was my margins I'm closing up shop and taking whatever money I have and just investing it before it all goes down the drain. Somehow I don't think his cult member neighbor will do that. -
Eurobasket is a HUGE tournament for them. There was no way he was sitting it out. Really big deal to win it and it just helped further Dennis Schroeder's Basketball Hall of Fame Resume.

I try to do this every year and do something nice for someone else on my birthday . This year I got something for everyone at work today. Getting gifts was cool as a kid, but now it’s even more fun to give to others on this day. I got my boss, who I fish with when we have time to, a new rod. He needed a better one so I brought it in and he asked me where I was going fishing and I said “I’m not. It’s yours.” He’s a great guy originally from East LA who has seen more than most in hs 52 years. Everyone else got stuff that I either thought they could use or some of them some Bath and Body Works stuff. My boss went and got me a lei to wear for the day which was cool. The best part is we have a cook that is out on a strict probation through 2029. He walks to the front and our GM starts talking about the fishing pole I guess and “Shorty” says it’s his birthday tomorrow. A guest hears this and pulls out a 50 to give to him. It was his first birthday not in prison in seven years. So glad for him. That same guest tried to give me money. I tried to give it back and told him to just do something g the next d for someone and he says “I’m doing it right now.” Kindness can be contagious. Long story short just do something nice for others every chance you get.

NBA Offseason Thread 2025 - Fuck OKC
UpperWestside replied to Message Board User's topic in Basketball
Dennis Schroeder has one of the more interesting basketball careers I have seen. He has been a solid NBA player, but his international career for Germany has been wildly successful. Knowing that the Basketball Hall of Fame isn’t just for what you did in the NBA makes his candidacy a real one. Leading Germany to the World Championship, being selected to the all tournament team for the Olympics and now winning the European title (While going 9-0) is pretty impressive. When you see some of the players that got in you can see why he has a really good shot at getting there himself for his international accomplishments. -

He’s not wrong. Probably not the words your broadcast partners want to hear, but whatever. I mostly see highlights from non-Laker games. Not a big deal to hear him speak like that. -
I attempted yesterday to watch it. I have that movie pass for Regal so if I am just not really into a movie I'll get up and leave. This one, for me at least, was not one I wanted to stay and watch. That does not mean the movie is not good. I made it maybe 30 minutes or so in.

You know I need to go watch them play at least once this year. Not hard to get to the stadium and it would probably be fun to go.

Jordyn Tyson had a pretty good game. That touchdown where he jumped over the defender and stayed inbounds was quite the effort. Ready to start conference play. There’s no one in the Big XII that is more talented than ASU, but it just takes one play (Not going for it last week at the goal line when MSU couldn’t stop me if I was running the ball) to ruin a game.

I am not going to group myself with people taking the words of someone that was peaceful and instead using them as a form of hatred. These people know as much about peace and loving your neighbor as aggy does about football championships in the last 8 plus decades.
