  1. Yea for sure. But like others have said, his story is far from being over (for good and for bad).
  2. I guess he has engaged in some antics that do indicate that. But he's also responded to some things with some humility and good humor and cheer, which is usually a green flag for someone who has a healthy sense of self, identity, and emotional maturity. A couple of examples-- his response to being pranked on what is maybe the biggest day of his life in a myriad of emotions as things arent going well. He seemed to be able to empathisize with a dumb kid and not villianize: Speaking of having maybe your lowest and most embarrassing moment in life the subject of a high profile organization and headline news story for all to jeer, he seemed to show some humility and good humor: Maybe the funniest was his self-awareness and laughing at himself with the "are you going to buy your number like Cam Ward did?" questions: Talking about a 4th round rookie deal pf $4mm vs Cam Ward's $48.7mm deal.
  3. Can you DM me a mail order service perchance? I keep hearing about this mail order thing.
  4. Serious question though, how can anyone our age smoke a whole joint and not be completely shot for the rest of the day? One solid drag and I'm good for many hours. Weed is too strong these days. And what's up with the stupid electronic vapes? What happened to zigzags? Get off my lawn.
  5. My grandkid has a friend that lives in one of those weird gated communities where everyone has a hangar and there are these little planes that taxi along the street and you have to stop at stop signs for them to pass you. It's very strange. The homes are pretty basic but I guess because you have a huge glorified barn on yoru property and a hobby plane, every house is like a minimum $3mm. I go to that neighborhood to carpool for school or birthday parties or what have you and I think to myself it's the riskiest and most insane thing a lawyer-by-day or run of the mill orthodontist could ever do. It feels like not a matter of when but if, but maybe I'm just a big baby and/or too poor to understand.
  6. Sold my Knicks shares for $.19 cents earlier today and shoved the profits into Stars to win it all when they were down 3-1. Life is good, life is good.
  7. The Onion had a great interview in Vogue, but this quote was spot on: What’s the biggest difference between Elon Musk and the CEO of The Onion? “I know I’m not funny—and he has no idea,” says Ben Collins. In the 12 months since The Onion’s purchase last year, it has reached new comic heights—see: viral headlines like “Nation Can’t Believe It on Harvard’s Side”—while increasing its cultural footprint. Collins sits down for a long, fascinating talk on many topics, including the publication’s attempt to purchase Infowars and how he turned The Onion around. As Collins tells VF’s Chris Murphy, “There’s nothing fascists hate more than getting truly ripped on.”
  8. Getting Chippy, my dudes.
  9. He was always my favorite part of 1 Train.
  10. Trump is a moron and hateful person and the South African President comes off as more articulate and thoughtful. That said, today I learned the South African government did pass a law permitting the government to take land without compensation in a process that is subject to judicial review. Oof.
  11. China helped Pakistan during India clash? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-18/china-gave-pakistan-satellite-support-indian-defense-group-says
  12. I don't get it.
  13. They can't all be classics. Like I said, a breezy beachy vibe, will have a nice few month run for me.
  14. It takes a pathological person to try and zing someone who's loved one/spouse just received essentially a death sentence. I cannot even theoritically understand that mindset. I cannot imagine hating someone so much. I don't know.
  15. I read that as that was the joke-- as in he was trolling her for using her Dr. title despite not being a medical doctor. In his mind that was funny. No, in his mind that was hilarious, hence the pin.
  16. They weren’t up 3-1 when that happened? And for the record I did lick the Knicks in April to be in the Finals (versus the Lakers lol).
  17. NYK @ $.20 now today so I'm at a 10x return min. I ended up selling off a bit before the game today to get my nut back so it's house money now.
  18. No lies told. Those are all top 10 heaters. Misery and then almost immediately after Water Boy.
  19. I have a super unpopular opinion: I actually think Sanders is going to be a great QB in the league (top 10 QB, if not an MVP candidate one day) and think he’s going to have a 10-year+ career. He’s impressed me with his positive attitude with all the chaos that’s happened and he doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously IMO. If prediction markets would let us buy a stake in a players career he’d be a huge value buy for me, based on how he’s pretty much been buried before playing a snap.
  20. Just realized I’ve been ordering my fried eggs all wrong my whole life. I always thought I was an over-easy guy. Lately been thinking the bacon and sausage doesn’t sop up all the yolk and feels like you need a spoon like it’s egg drop soup on my plate afterwards. Decided to try over-medium and it was deliciously and gloriously the perfect amount of runny yolk to white ratio. I feel like a new man. I’m 66 years old, don’t ever let anyone tell you that an old dog can’t learn a new trick!
  21. Anyone following American business would remember the hoopla of Chipotle having their star CEO poached with record high share price and shareholder value creation (and the controversy of letting him commute with PJ’s). So he comes in with a heroes welcome by shareholders to bring a once high flying company back to their heights, makes some positive (in his estimation) changes like “wear dark clothes for the brand, it’s good and will help with brand and customer experience which translates to value” and is met with a union who wants to stage a walkout and strike over the color shirt they have to wear. Bad union or bad management are the only two options you give in such a scenario, so I’m asking you which is it?
  22. I guess it’s unpopular but I think Kamala wins with a real chance and runway. She was asked to come in down 2 runs in the bottom of the ninth and then gets blamed for not striking out the side and hitting home runs at the same time because the managers left Biden in too long.
