Looks like the rain will be clearing out just around 4:30 or so.

They are currently sold out. I mentioned in the other thread that they released more last week (I was able to secure four for my neighbor, myself and our kids). But it looks like they're all gone now.

A reasonable approach to a degree. Boxing has several governing bodies, One of them seemingly and possibly arbitrarily ruled against these two boxers in terms of their sexual conformity. Given that other sports like swimming have taken a stance against certain aspects of biological men performing in women's sports, it stands to reason that boxing should as well given the very nature of the sport. I think what you'll see going forward is probably not too far from what you described in that the athletes themselves will start to revolt against the agencies If this continues to happen more often.

If there was evidence or proof, would it matter one iota to you? She very well could be just a big woman in which case thems the breaks for the other. But if she were biologically male, would you support her boxing biological females?

To the first point; we watch these guys and root for them so we tend to over inflate their value relative to what's going on in the rest of the league with each team probably having someone similar. To the second; Don't forget that Dabol was familiar with the player so if he had to grab a receiver, going with a known quantity was probably a better option in his mind.

Sounds like a good mission in Hitman.

There was nothing weird about it. They didn't want the guy to be buried anywhere that would become a shrine for these fundamentalist nut jobs.

So we shouldn't have killed bin laden? Because that's effectively what you're arguing for.

I understand the concern, but this guy wasn't worthy of a trial, he's a participant in a war he's declared.

Yeah good luck with that. I'm sure he'll walk into an Interpol station and turn himself in to face justice. This isn't a situation where "maybe" he's guilty of something. He's openly a leader of a terrorist organization.

I'm reading this was an airstrike? Pretty ballsy, but certainly warranted. The question now is, will Iran's response be muted and just something to save face like last time this happened a few months ago?

Hey bumping this because I just randomly hit Ticketmaster and was able to get my tickets. Clearly they've opened up some Grab them while you can!

I saw Brown at the Speedway in the village of OP on Thursday night. Dude is just massive.

You could say that yes. Note, I didn't say "wow, I'm convinced and will now vote for him and so will my 2 friends who care greatly about women's reproductive rights". My point wasn't that I was swayed but rather that for anyone who is undecided or someone on the fence that was a pretty compelling speech compared to anything Biden can possibly deliver.

I watched the Don with 2 Dems and 1 staunch Trumper. For the record, I'm generally a "never Trump" guy. All 4 of us agreed it was a pretty damn good speech.

He's just missing a piece of paper labeled "PRESS" tucked into the hatband to go full-on cartoon reporter.

That's a pretty stupid and disingenuous take. I think he should be replaced too, but he is not the "democratically nominated candidate", not yet anyway, and he's clearly become medically and mentally incapable of performing the job.

The quote would have been longer had you been able to actually understand some of the leading and trailing words around it.

Yeah, "fought" is fine. If there are any other vets here that disagree, feel free to chime in.

Being in an active theater of war counts as fighting in a war, even in a clerical position. Your life is at risk from mortar and rocket attacks. You're in the middle of an active insurgency. It counts.

Yeah, in reading that memo, it doesn't reek of anything other than "we don't know much so don't speculate or editorialize".

A TikTok trend convinced me to attempt seppuku with a frisbee. I'm much better now though... blockquote widget

Imagine a thread that was effectively celebrating the high suicide rate of literally any other demographic.

The fact that this is not great, but is an order of magnitude better than the debate illustrates just how bad the debate was. But if this is his best, is that what we want? And how will he be 6 months from now?
