4 pointsI have a 10 year old son that has a pair of twin cousins.. One of them has insisted that she is a boy (after a stay in a mental insinuation for trying to kill herself) I tell my son the same thing over and over. She has a mental illness. We are not going to be mean to her but we also do not have to participate in her mental illness.

3 pointsJill is right about this. It’s not the main reason to vote for Biden but it’s a good one.

2 pointsI would do everything I could to fix him if he had this mental illness. I would treat it like bulimia. That is a mental illness but no one accepts it and says "ok just do you. Go ahead and puke your guts out" giving into their mental illness is not going to help them. It just encourages them to stay the course. I am never going to encourage anyone to kill themselves but if someone calls you by your old name and you kill yourself you are looking for an excuse and even more proof of their mental illness.

2 pointsI think they should have one camera devoted to the guy who gets to turn the mics off. And maybe have Jeff Ross be that guy and he gets to deliver a zinger everytime he pushes the button.

2 pointsHonestly I disagree with you. Biden has bad arthritis which is why he has trouble walking. But I haven’t seen any indication that his mind is affected or that there is any kind of mental dementia. I just don’t see it.

2 pointsTim will tell you they are a net economic benefit. Of course his analysis of the net does not include a cost analysis of rape and murder. It does not include a cost analysis of the reintroduction of deseases we have not seen in decades. It does not include a cost analysis of uninsured motorists or of all our kids whose learning is slowed by our teachers having to spend inordinate amounts of time with kids who have not had a formal education and who don't speak the language. Me, I don't think cheap drywallers and migrant farm workers are worth the cost, but Tim assures me they are a net benefit. Why we could not get whatever benefit there is through legal immigration and seasonal worker visas he never says.

1 pointhttps://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/articles/2023/11/revisions-coming-to-world-handicap-system-in-2024.html The USGA and The R&A today announced the first update to the World Handicap System™ (WHS™) as part of an ongoing review of the Rules of Handicapping™ and Course Rating System™ with a continued emphasis on accuracy, consistency and equity. The latest revisions will go into effect beginning in January 2024. Many countries have seen significant increases in the number of scores being submitted for handicapping purposes since the WHS was introduced in January 2020, reflecting golf’s broadening appeal. More than 100 million scores have been posted each year, unifying millions of golfers through a standard measure of playing ability. The 2024 update leverages the performance data gathered from around the world, in addition to feedback received from many of the 125 countries now using the system. Significant updates to the WHS include: · Inclusion of Shorter-Length Golf Courses Within the Course Rating System: The overall length requirements for Course Rating in the WHS will be significantly reduced. A set of tees on an 18-hole course may be as short as 1,500 yards [1,370 meters] to be eligible for a Course Rating and Slope Rating®, and a set of tees on a 9-hole course may be as short as 750 yards [685 meters]. This change is intended to expand the WHS to thousands of shorter length courses, including par-3 courses, and enable more golfers to obtain and use a Handicap Index. · Use of an Expected Score for a Hole Not Played: Improvements have been made to the method used to handle holes not played, which will now be based on a player’s expected score rather than a score of net par. This new method will produce a 9-hole or 18-hole Score Differential that more accurately reflects a player’s ability. As golfers across the world are playing more 9-hole rounds, an expected score can also be used to convert a 9-hole round into an 18-hole Score Differential. For some countries, this means that 9-hole scores will be considered in the calculation of a player’s Handicap Index immediately after the day of play, rather than waiting to combine with another 9-hole score. · Playing Conditions Calculation Adjustments Made More Frequent: The Playing Conditions Calculation (PCC) has been modified to increase the likelihood of an adjustment for abnormal playing conditions. National associations were given discretion, beginning in July 2022, to introduce this revision within their computation platforms, which will be complete by April 1, 2024. · Enhanced Guidance on Conducting a Handicap Review: The role of the Handicap Committee is vital to the success of the WHS and the Rules recommend that a Handicap Review is conducted regularly, or at least once a year to ensure a Handicap Index® remains reflective of a player’s ability. New reporting tools have been developed that national associations can incorporate into their handicapping software to assist Committees in conducting the review process effectively and consistently.

1 pointI was set to fly out with Spirit this morning at 7:00. Fockers canceled my reservation last night for no reason. Did the same thing to 3 other passengers. I called and was placed on hold for 2 hours before I hung up. Travelocity tells me that it is impossible to get a live person to help you on the phone. So I decide to go to the airport early to resolve it with a ticket agent. Get there at 4:30 and wait 30 minutes at an empty counter. At 5:00 the two ticket agents come strolling in, yawning incessantly. It takes them 10 minutes to disinfect their workstations and log on. Both are clueless and completely inept. They get a supervisor on the line to handle the 4 mystery cancelations. Angry black woman decides to let a family of 4 jump the line to be handled first. Nice touch, seeing as I was there a half hour before them. It takes 35 minutes just to straighten them out and get their ticket reinstated. Now it’s 6:00 and I’m starting to wonder if my checked bag is going to make it on the plane. Often times the cutoff is an hour before departure. Angry black gets her Supervisor on the line again and it takes another 15 minutes or so before I finally get my boarding pass. She checks my bag, swears to me it will get on the plane, then forgets to give me the bag receipt. I realized it while going through security and had to go all the way back to the ticket counter to get it. MF’ers. If my bag doesn’t get there you may be seeing me on the news tonight. Nice to see they are spending all their time on this Pride nonsense. That’s clearly more important than, you know, getting people on the planes they paid for.

1 pointThe Saquon you think you are getting isn't really that guy anymore in reality. Last Year he finished 35th overall by PFF grade among all RB's. Even accounting for the terrible OL and bad Gmen offense, his grade of 70.2 isn't great. Guys like James Conner and Tyler Allgier played behind bad Lines and bad teams but finished with 89.2, and 82.9 scores respectively...

1 pointI wouldn't try to talk anyone out of McCaff early... #1 two straight years. I wouldn't take the risk, but understandable why many do. Auction or regular - my Rb advice is draft quantity in mid- to late-rounds, over quality in early rounds. I don't want to invest my most valuable draft capital, in the least predictable/highest volatility position. Most top ranked Rbs last year didn't finish top 10 ... even though there were relatively few major injuries other than Chubb. Rb's who actually did finish top 10 generally came out of rounds 3-5... lowest was Mostert in rd 10. Der's gold in dem dar hills, just have to mine it.

1 pointMaybe you should just watch it and formulate opinions for yourself instead of having a "media" outlet interpret it for you.

1 pointNo minority or other protected group ever stumbles on their own. They are always pushed. Any failure by a white male is self inflicted. You gotta love having that preached at you by some soft, lazy fatback that never worked a hard day in his life.

1 pointDiversity programs are bad because conservatives want to ignore history and white privilege and pretend that everyone has equal opportunity to succeed regardless of race or gender.
