- Comment on Mental health professionals rarely allow you to talk about the socioeconomic factors too 17 hours ago:
Yep, take their Soma, their blue pill, their alcohol and try to blur out the horrors. Miss most of life. Or raw dog reality and don’t feel great.
Whatever anyone does, don’t let these fuckers pretend, imply, assert or claim there is fault with you.
- Comment on Blazers fire new play-by-play announcer hours after hiring him. 2 days ago:
The insecure, cringey adolescent sexually-related stuff is sad but most people go through phases where they’ve said and done things they’re embarrassed about later. I would hope some of those weighed less on the decision to cut ties, though with a tenure of several hours, you haven’t earned any leeway in a position like this when it comes up.
The “I’m not racist…but” lead in to saying “Asian people piss me off” is not someone who should ever be employable if they want a public-facing job, or really any job. I have no problem with that shit following him around–if you made it to 15 with that kind of intolerable bigotry you missed some important shit and life has consequences for it. Sucks he or his parents or his environment were late getting him (or others like him) the message, but there needs to be a clear division between “you’re entitled to your opinion” and “there aren’t potentially serious future consequences for bigotry and there is no hiding from them.”

- Comment on im on day 11 of waiting for my up to 10 day delivery package and its maybe getting delivered today 6 days ago:
Fret not, still alive and well if you need anything from state or federal government. Simple unemployment claim first payment? Passport application (these are getting much better but it’s still what is claimed)? When a business owes you a refund?
- Comment on Trump Sharply Scales Back Fuel Economy Rules for New Cars | The move marked the final step in the administration’s efforts to dismantle policies aimed at speeding the shift to electric vehicles. 6 days ago:
The timing has been stupid for 30 years hiding their heads in the sand but this particular one, while still hoping people won’t notice gas prices…they think theyve won.
- Comment on Firms fined £1.3m after man killed by window that fell from luxury property in London 1 week ago:
Window fell (for the second time in a year) is the buried lede. £1.3m? Apalling. It’s fucking negligent homicide.

We could connect all these sites together in some sort of…web?
- Comment on LeBron James' Polymarket ad is a who's who of disappointing sellouts 1 week ago:
“Student of the game.”
Remember when LeBron told Morey to shutup and dribble when he spoke out against China repressing Hong Kong protestors?
James certainly knows where his bread is buttered, but surprised he’d be all in on aligning with poly market Trump Jr. Is on their board? Not really.
He’s a billionaire who sold out long ago…if he had any fight in him at all.

- Comment on Women accounted for almost all of job gains in August. Here’s why 4 weeks ago:
The first article I read on this had it as the headline, “low wage and low quality jobs drive surprise hiring growth”, whereas this spins it as some empowerment angle and then buries this in the last two paragraphs:
*“Because women tend to earn less than men, Ullrich said winning a higher share of jobs could mean companies are focusing hiring on lower-wage roles. Given that women are more likely to have multiple jobs, Ullrich said some of the gains could stem from workers who are stretching themselves thin.
“You could look at it and say, ‘Yay, women,’” Ullrich said. But, “I don’t think it’s necessarily a positive story for women overall.””*
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 4 weeks ago:
They’re as naive as someone just putting together that minimum wage en masse isn’t sustainable when it’s a punishing poverty wage. Its a shanty wage…if that.

The fact I honestly wondered whether this was the university or the country shows how great the last 24 months have been.
- Comment on Trump Is in Open Revolt Against the Constitution 5 weeks ago:
I’m just glad we have all the “don’t tread on me”, “1776”, yellow-ribbon supporting families who surely have arms and munitions and know that “freedom ain’t free” and stand ready to protect their beloved constitution.
Any time now these fucking poser, barking bitches want to actually walk the walk redemption is at hand.

You’re on a 3rd-party reseller, which regardless of the event is going to maximize pricing for the platform and/or greed of resellers, but yeah even buying from arenas it’s gross.
I have some stubhub credit and prices are at least 2x what the venues sell them for even when they are still available directly!

The people are much cooler, atmosphere chiller, less corporate food/drink options, and damned if half the stadiums are better than the disgusting piss pits large stadiums are.

IIRC, rule of thumb is 90% of wine should be consumed within a year. A minority of types do benefit from aging but it’s an outdated stereotype.

Biden also was the one who made loan non-forgiveness his signature piece of legislation in the 2000s. Maybe realized the folly of his ways but his offset was a drop in the fucking ocean.

- Comment on Lakers sold....again...after just a few years. Bob Iger(Disney) and Trump's son-in-law's brother would be new owners 1 month ago:
Yeah, I’m a basketball fan more than a Laker fan but can’t imagine supporting bitchass owners with Trump connections.
I’m in PDX and we have our own bitchass new owner issues so you’re in good company. Personally I hope our new PDX owner walks with the team; our city has people to feed and house and real problems to work through, bailing out a billionaire is low on the list.

Oh it cannot be discarded, it must be destroyed so that it cannot be utilized. Resources and nature are only valid if profitable.
