"People are allowed to perpetuate white stereotypes, but not ones about minorities usually steeped in centuries of racism and abuse. It's not fair! Woe is me!"
Uh huh. You realize how much history you ignore, and how naive you are? Of course you don't.

You are purposely being a contrarian just to show how badass and unwoke and anti-PC you are. Congrats on your awesomeness.
No one is saying that Gruden should be fired on the spot. But, if you honestly can't see why commenting on the largeness of a black man's lips is a bad idea that hits on some very well-known racial tropes, then you're a fucking idiot.
Can we still comment about how white people can't dance. Or play corner. Or don't have 10 inch dicks?

There's a reason oil is $80 and on its way to $100 and nat gas is soaring in Europe and Asia. And it ain't a lack of truck drivers in UK.

Yeah...I don't know where you get that from what I wrote. But that's reality.

WTF did Wendy's ever do to anyone?

To add, simplifying the tax code goes a long way to making any wealth tax feasible.

The ultra wealthy often innovate and actually help the middle class on the way to getting ultra wealthy. Tax them high and let them have their toys - the problems occur when that wealth is passed on for hundreds of years. Let their kids start over. So sure tax at a high rate and a REALLY high rate with inheritance - much easier said then done.
I would add a caveat to this. Don't make their kids start completely over, but do tax them more significantly upon death. Maybe sliding scale between generations, I don't know. More than we currently do now, but less than what the pitch fork crowd screams for.
The ultra wealthy make the rules (laws) and humans are always going to be humans. Taking care of your progeny and leaving a legacy is human nature. Not going to get a big wealth tax passed if you talk in drastic measures. Do it in measured increments and I'm onboard.

We're (globally) over populated by at least 50%. No need to discriminate. Let the cards fall.

Can't disagree with Stoops on much of it. Save for his "we haven't been far off in the these playoff games", you've been getting smoked in those games. Need to bring the big xii refs with you.
In fairness, they've been smoked in two (USC and LSU 19), were outclassed by Bama in 2018 but not smoked, and were in tight games with LSU 03, UF, and Georgia.

Yeah. Covid has been horrible. The official numbers are crap. The cities have me been under lockdown with armed patrols enforcing curfew. It has gotten so bad that the matriarch’s oldest had to “take a leave” from his job and move to havanna to take care of her.
speaking of which. He is one smart dude. Had a full ride to MIT for electrical engineering, but the Cuban government last minute decided he was a flight risk and couldn’t go, and sent him to some prestigious university in Moscow. Life worked out. he runs the local electrical grid in the province next to havanna making a whopping 7 dollars a month.
Laugh/cryThat's a 'put shit in perspective story'. Thanks for sharing.

That's the best angle. What a play.
That wouldn't be an easy play off a fungo in practice, was something else to watch it live.

What was the TU coach bent out of shape over? Just because your slackjawed fans boo at a pitch 4 inches off the plate called a ball doesn't mean you have a beef. Feel sorry for that guy's dog tonight. Get your shit together.
I apologize...I didn't realize there were so many relatives of a Tennessee bench coach on this board.

According to half of this board, that is what Pierce was supposed to do in the last game about bad pitch calls.

I worked for several years as a server. This reckoning for restaurant owners has been a long time coming. I thoroughly enjoyed the work before switching to a different pathway and job during the pandemic, but restaurant life is a stressful experience for most everyone else I worked with. Many people just do not want to return to that lifestyle once they have gotten away from it for an extended period. I made more money where I worked than anyone outside of the GM, was able to do it just working 40 hours with no weekend shifts (I really had a great setup) and only one night, but I would not return to having another job in that line of work.
You enjoyed the work, made good money it sounds like, on a schedule that worked for you. In an extremely low margin business for the owner. Only the owners risk to lose everything...sounds like a pretty decent gig to me.

Now Hiring, Help Wanted signs everywhere here. I'd guess at least half of retail and fast food have signs up.

Snapshot in time. Wind generation was predicted to drop around this time of day. It was actually producing twice as much as expected earlier this morning to make up for the gap with the thermal gen going offline.
Wind is not your enemy.
Even if it was producing twice as much earlier in the day, that's still a fraction of capacity.
Not meant as a criticism of wind, just pointing out this isn't an energy resource problem. We need them all.

Of course, the bulk of the generation offline right now is....thermal. So, you know.....not wind.
No incentive to build peaking generation, none is built. Inherent peril of an "energy only" market. Predicted, and predictable. For the 100th time, this is the market working exactly as designed.

Stumbled across this video of Penny, again.
10 weeks old and not bothered by the 130 lb beast playing with her.
Welp, now I want another puppy.

This is humbling. Not just the sacrifices that were made by young men who would've experienced some of the most prosperous times in this country had they made it home, but the reverence and gratitude from French citizens almost 80 years later.
