Is Howard Stern going to be Ventura's running mate?

Melky or Teddy Bear, of course. That way we will recognize you. 👍

With the game pass, I seem to be playing a new game every time I sit down. I don't think it's a good habit. So far, Void Bastards was my favorite of the bunch.

I mean, I prefer Steam too, but it cost a buck to subscribe to the Xbox Gaming Pass for PC and get the game with that, so pretty hard to argue with that kind of value.

Goliath Season 3 - This is such a good show. It was basically a season about water contract disputes, with Dennis Quaid playing the part of the evil Nestle-like water baron, and it was fascinating the whole way through.

I like the use of the word 'petty' in one sentence, and then the example of the word in the next sentence. That was well constructed, poster.

We already did this. Is this a weird bot?

I like Mam War's guess better.

I think your poem is losing something in the translation.

I was able to preload in the US, but I have the Gaming Pass.

The bathroom situation First off, I don't want anybody ogling in the bathroom. Would it be more acceptable for the bearded lady to go ogle little boys? As a parent, sending a kid into a public bathroom is always a little scary. That is a reality regardless of what bathroom a trans person is using. Secondly, the complexities of the human psyche is not a simple math problem. As a social science teacher, I give critical thinking questions regularly. They don't have a right or wrong answers. The goal is to think critically and to support your answer with evidence. History is rarely a binary situation, and I'm not sure why we would expect everyone to identify themselves in a binary fashion.

This was Hillary's response: Which sounds pretty reasonable to me. I thought you were all about individual rights, GD? Why would you care how someone wants to identify themselves?

I've been contemplating the idea of running a marathon, and if I did that, then I'd probably want to try and qualify for Boston. My regular running group has a bunch of people that qualified for Boston this year, and it has definitely been fun to watch them on that journey. But it is a pretty ambitious time for my age group. At 41, you need a 3:10 time to qualify, which is about a 7:15 mile pace. I can do that pace for a long time. I mean, with good conditions and a fairly flat road, I can hold that for a half marathon. But I've never actually run more than 15 miles, and I know it gets super hard to keep the pace going. Most people seem to hit a wall around mile 17-18, an again around mile 23. So yeah, just bouncing it around right now. I'd probably train for a year to get ready.

I mean, I enjoyed Shazam, but it was basically like a solid episode of Chuck.

I do wish I had stocked up on Preparation H. I figure we are always somewhat prepared for Doomsday with the RV.

Maybe it was just me, but that whole thing read as super condescending. Anyone else get that?

I'm sure I've said this before, but there is a heck of a lot of wiggle room between: Free Healthcare --------------------------------------------$25,000 for an ambulance Our current system is broken.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. But I just finished watching the season 13 finale and it was a complete surprise. Kind of amazing that a show that has been in that long can amaze like that. https://www.vulture.com/2018/11/its-always-sunny-mac-dance-season-13-finale.html#comments

Ouch, but I feel like that Cold War hat is fake. Plus the USSR collapsed, so not a loss.

My daughter made dinner the other night, so it is finally starting to pay off, guys.

PG&E has taken down our power grid because of light winds and lawsuits, and I am dealing with an uncomfortable hemorhoid. Ugh.

I know you don't get it, that is why it is remarkable. On a similar pregnancy note, my wife went out on maternity leave with our second child with about 5 weeks to go in the school year. Since there isn't really a maternity leave in education, it is just sick days and then disability (in which the disabled teacher is paid minus the sub pay.) she decided to go back for the last week of school. When she returned, the principal had told her department, the district, and the office staff that she was not coming back. Her email had been shut down and stuff was boxed up. It was super weird. Thankfully she had tenure in the district, and was able to reverse everything, and filed a grievance against the principal. Long story short, he isn't in the state anymore and she continued teaching there for many years.

I know Gfted is just playing his free stuff schtick, but talking about a bum ticker in the same sentence is pretty remarkable.
