    GOP is a pathetic joke

    Just trying to save you embarrassment in front of your transgender friends.

    I noticed that too. Hey @The Real timschochet, here is a useful mnemonic device I use to keep it straight, I probably learned it here. You will hate it, but it works. Ready? Replace "transgender" with "pretend." Thus a "transgender boy" is a "pretend boy" meaning a biological girl. And vice versa. So as TNG pointed out, you wanted to use the "pretend girl" (transgender girl) phrase. HTH.
  4. Wouldn't surprise me. Heading into this season I was caught up in the hype and the chance for the Cards to draft him. But as I watched him over the season, I was increasingly underwhelmed. Looks like just another mediocre USC QB who was boosted by the talent around him. Hard pass.

    University presidents won’t condemn antisemitism

    Pretty ballsy for two current students to write that. That being said... what the heck is a "concentrator" anyway? Can we not say "major" anymore? And who cares what dorm you live in?

    Books you are reading

    Interesting, thanks for the rec. Also, when I looked it up on Amazon, I got a lot of recommendations for Colin Falconer novels. Anyone read any of his books? I may give "Silk Road" a try.

    I was hoping to make some progress today. I'm golfing tomorrow afternoon with my son, after going to lunch with him. Then out for the evening. I'll leave a list with somebody who has already picked if I leave before the 1-2 turn.

    What are your NYE Plans

    Update! I drank too much and fell asleep watching TV.

    Nice. What did the leper say to the prostitute? Keep the tip.

    What are your NYE Plans

    Staying in. Wife got a Tomahawk steak we're going to share, slow cooking on the pellet grill. One of the great things about being out west is that we can watch the ball drop in NYC at 10pm our time and go to sleep. We already had sexy time this morning, but the wife just walked out after showering wearing a hot sweater/skirt/boots combo, so who knows.

    Books you are reading

    Pillars of the Earth is one of my favorite books of all time; one of the few I've read more than once. We have World Without End and I THINK I read it, but I'm not sure. We also have his Century trilogy which my wife read but I haven't; it's set in the early 1900s I believe. Maybe I'll put World Without End in my queue.

    Books you are reading

    I read those, they were entertaining. I'm finishing up "Gleanings," which is a bunch of short stories set in the Scythe world, some of which give the back story on characters from the trilogy.

    Is there hope for academia yet?

    Good article, thanks. There have been many such groups being formed at campuses across the country, and they will only grow given what happened with pro-Palestinian harassment. I belong to a similar alumni one for MIT. Still, this is a big step for Harvard, which has been ranked dead last in free speech by FIRE.

    This economy is so bad

    This has to be trolling; nobody is this dumb.

    This economy is so bad

    It makes the entire premise of your post dumb; read your first sentence. And now you are saying that somebody with (barely) a pulse was POTUS while the country inevitably did better, because it couldn't do worse, woo hoo!
  18. Care to provide your analysis which proves this? Regardless, it potentially impacts the distribution of electoral votes, which would disenfranchise the voters of Maine.

    This economy is so bad

    This is so silly. The country was doing great until Covid destroyed the entire world economy. To blame Trump for it is inane. There is plenty about Trump to complain, this isn't one. Be better.

    FSU got hosed

    Watching the pregame when they said FSU had a bunch of players opt out while Georgia was mostly in tact (and I sensed that they wanted to obliterate FSU and show they belonged in the playoff), I went and bet Georgia -23.5. I wish I bet my entire account on it. 42-3 and halftime, eesh.

    What's Your Gripe ?

    Good one. My wife recently went shopping for some clothes; she used to buy a lot from Ann Taylor but she said their stuff was now shiot -- no lining in pants, etc. I pretty much just buy cheap stuff from places like Banana Republic these days -- they also used to have decent quality but that is gone, but they've embraced their cheapness in their prices, so I just figure I can just cycle through stuff and not spend too much in doing so.

    Works for me. Count all 4 then?
  23. Um, a bipartisan group challenged it, but a single person decided not to put him on the ballot as a result of that challenge. RIF, Rusty. RIF.

    Since I began praying and manifesting

    Glad to hear you are doing well. Do you have a pipefitting gig? Still with the mother of your child, if I recall correctly? If not I apologize, and am still glad you are doing well.
  25. Maine is not a winner take all state. So removing Trump would potentially have an impact.
