    It's shocking how many of those are one hit wonders. Even more shocking is how many I've never heard. I'll get off your lawn now...

    I honestly don't get any of this. It occurred to me that there were two sets of virtues, the résumé virtues and the eulogy virtues. The résumé virtues are the skills you bring to the marketplace. The eulogy virtues are the ones that are talked about at your funeral — whether you were kind, brave, honest or faithful. Were you capable of deep love? Really, it's those two things? That's life? Build your career and be a saint? "Lips" Kudlow from freaking Anvil even has a better perspective: "All you've got are your relationships and your experiences." Separate that out a little more, and you've got: are you learning what you need to learn to be helpful to yourself (and then by extension, other people) are you building on your professional skills so that you don't stagnate, and you learn to contribute in greater ways to and for others are you doing right by your friends and family are you having fun by doing constructive things with your time If you're at least attempting to get on some kind of upward trajectory with those, those two silly pop morality notions of virtue work themselves out.

    @LuFins-Dad you’re looking at the west side of the building. The 4th floor balcony also faces the alley to the North. No awning there!

    Wilson is 34. He should have 2 or 3 good years left. They need offensive line help. Bad. Denver is about $10M under the cap, which should roll over into next year. They have no first or second round picks in 2023. They do have two picks in the third round. I predict Payton drafts a guard in the third and a TE. He's either going to trade for a center or most likely will get a FA. Don't be surprised if Can't Guard Mike follows Sean to Denver.

    The thing that most criminals have in common with each other is that they think they are the smartest people in the room. And 99+% of the time, they never are. "Oh, nobody will notice if I order USD $1MM of chicken wings and never serve them to the kids! What an easy way to make some money!!" I dont know if they have a school board or not, but I would think they would be looking at the budget sheet and see it was way out of line.

    @George-K said in But...but...Jim Crow on Steroids?: @Axtremus said in But...but...Jim Crow on Steroids?: The logistics, the traffic jams, and that wholly unnecessary costs and inconvenience ... just do this sort of things virtually. They did it virtually in 2020 they can do it virtually again in 2024. I agree. And an added bonus is that you wouldn't have to travel to a racist state. Win-win. I agree. I think we discuss here during the last couple of conventions. The outcome is known, nobody really pays attention to it anymore, etc.

    Heard a couple of black cops interviewed on the radio. Their take? Cops are taught to stay one step ahead on the aggression curve, trying to negate the threat. They are also people, who get amped up by high speed chase, foot chases and wrestling with a suspect. Both cops agreed that you are taught to never, ever, never kick or strike a person in the head. Actually, they agreed you shouldn't kick a suspect. Blows with a baton or ASP are ok to use on a fighting suspect, but strikes should be confined to muscles, the more muscular the area, the better. Both thought some of the post arrest banter was pure stupid. Something else was brought out...If these cops normally worked this shift together, it leads to a group mentality of us against the world, on steroids. To combat this, you need good shift supervision and an occasional rotation of shift members. So... Adrenaline rush. Bad training or bad adherence to training. Bad group mentality Both cops stated this was not a response based on race.
