It feels good mostly because the high net is based on virtually no liabilities and because I know it means retirement is a certainty at a good age. Mostly, though, this is assets not a bunch of liquid COH. Within 5 years we’ll have huge decisions to make as my wife’s SARs roll in (cash) and they sell the ESOP, which will be just enormous for her. And me.

I hear this and look at my own life. None of my friends or family members who are close to my age have died. But I do think about it and understand it’s bound to happen in my life soon enough. The father of my son’s teammate dropped dead from heart attack a year ago at only 44. Yikes.

Last 2 rounds of bloodwork have been really promising. Numbers are very good. Only took 1 dose of the wonder drug to get things started. The real question is if these levels maintain or not, but we’re feeling super optimistic right now!

Met with our guy tonight. At $2.1M now.

Is there video also?

Where it says “Shame on you”

Everyone should fear the police, though it’s typically not the uniformed patrol officers who are the problem. Make no mistake, though— you have every reason to fear interaction with the police.

Guess whose back what?

Really is difficult to watch. Is the tranny being portrayed by an actual tranny? The bewbs looked hella natural, so kudos to the surgeon. Could do with less narrating.

If you were granted a wish and you wished to change hearts, eliminating racism, do you believe the problems of the black community would disappear with it? Your only genuine answer to this question must be NO. Anything else is disingenuous. And this hypothetical reveals the folly of your focus on racism. If it vanished today there would be only nominal improvement in the lives of blacks because it isn’t really the problem.

In short, you’re not willing to consider a different perspective. That’s OK. Your first paragraph above, whether or not you realize it, is just illuminating that blacks, whites and others in poverty may display different symptoms of the condition. Blacks in poverty commit more violent crimes than whites in poverty. You can’t conflate the difference in the way people respond to a stimulus with the idea that they’re experiencing a different stimulus. The overwhelming social problem is financial inequality and racism pales so dramatically that it is irrelevant in comparison. Your passion is wasted on a myth. Wake up and use your considerable cognitive abilities to solve the real problem. The world needs you.

You’re so close to understanding what ails America and so far from it at the same time. You choose the racial lenses. And it is definitely a choice. If you would just deliberately look at things without the lens of racism, you would see how income inequality and financial disparities are THE social problem in America. Everything else is a distraction. Unfortunately, you lap it up like a kitten at a saucer. You’re obviously a bright guy. Maybe you can convince yourself to look for something else in all of this. Just as an experiment in personal development, try to look at any of the social issues that anger you without questioning racial elements of the issue and instead considering how financial inequality influences it.

Fighting? No, not if you mean trying to assault the officers. Floyd did not do that. Hysterical, uncooperative, irrational resistance describes how Floyd behaved.

Regrettably, I watched the video linked. I see a guy misbehaving after fleeing an accident scene, seeming belligerent and then refusing compliance with simple directions from uniformed police officers. I see he was alive when the officers walked away from him. I didn’t see the officers do anything wrong.

Kiper saying Cooper “Duh-Gene”

I expect Maye to have a fantastic career.

I think Drake Maye must’ve focked Merill Hoge’s mom or something. A month ago Hoge was out here calling Maye a loser and now he’s back at it again today. Wtf dude? Why is he obsessed with trashing Maye? He’s going out of his way to dis the kid.

If you give a mouse a cookie, he will ask for a glass of milk.

How has no one answered “BJs”? I’ll shell out for good food, good cocktails and good lodging. Death is too near for me. I’m not scrimping on enjoyment.

I haven’t read this whole thread, so I’m apologizing in advance if I’ve misunderstood something. Having said that, are you saying that you hope one day for people to regard use of the words “man” or “woman” the same way we perceive use of the word n***er?

Fugazi— little known fact.

You’re saying she’s wet?

Yes.

Bloodwork came back pretty bad today. Numbers dropped over 90%. We’re at the cancer center right now (this is a blood disorder, not cancer) and she’s in the transfusion room getting her treatment. ~SIGH~

That’s what I’ve always claimed but, strangely enough, I’ve grown both more liberal AND more conservative in the last 10 years.
