Listen, I wasn't queer before, but $17 is $17.

I would take this guy more seriously if he had any amount of engagement.

We need a higher quality of critic. Is there any chance we can convince one of the Krassensteins to complain about this place?

He added, "Let us remember empathy and simple kindness are essential, powerful tools of national recovery. Even at an appropriate social distance, we can find the way to be present in the lives of others. ... In the final analysis, we are not partisan combatants. We're human beings, equally vulnerable and equally wonderful in the sight of God."

It really is a throw back to the "Compassionate Conservative" version of George Bush Jr we got back when he was running for governor. If you're wondering why folks in 2000 looked at Bush and Gore and just kinda shrugged because they seemed like the same guy, tell me you couldn't hear a Dixiecrat from the 1990s saying exactly this.

GWB is the spitting image of a Southern Democrat, from his mushy Jesus talk to his Aw Shucks Let's Execute'm Nicely folksy settler charm.

Its an elite invite-only boarding school, so you're unlikely to know anybody when you arrive. But also, it tends to clump people together by family cough bloodline cough and common interests, so the theory is you'll make friends more quickly when you're coughWEAZEcough segregated into like-minded groups gaspGAGchoke fuck me its really bad the more I think about it, isn't it?

A bit more seriously, its not crazy unusual for schools and unis to organize people into fraternities and clubs and houses and other social units early on in your college career. Then you tend to just end up with these people as your friends by virtue of proximity. By applying a certain degree of blind randomness, or by sorting via interest and passion rather than letting people congeal based on their own historical biases, you get a better mix of students than you would if everyone just clumped by who they knew or thought they'd like.

The system doesn't have to be modern phrenology.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but it's so obvious this isn't about fairness in sports...

Conservatives in 2004: "These fucking spoiled Millennials just want participation trophies for everything!"

Conservatives in 2024: "These fucking hyper-competitive Zoomers won't even give me my participation trophy!"

I hope the students cause a ruckus

For shit like this, the best thing that can happen is that nobody shows and the TPUSA crowd has to go trolling around campus trying to pick fights with randos.

I swear that was just a fucking incredible album that happened to come with a game attached.

The author as in the critic blasting the 2 losers?

The opening complaint is that the International Committee didn't follow up on the trip properly. This seems to be an indictment of the entire visit, as if the author is trying to dismiss it as a vacation for spoiled rich kids.

No word on who else attended or what they accompolished or how they planned to continue outreach to Cuba. Just some wishy-washy "We should be fighting imperialism at home" with no other plan of action.

Christ, it hurts that you're just now making me realize this.

This was literally just a joke short Nick Mullen made on the TAFS.

U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney on Thursday sentenced Tyler Laube to time served, totaling 35 days he had spent in pretrial custody.

Prosecutors had recommended a six-month sentence.

Laube pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor charge for repeatedly punching a journalist — identified only as F.T. — who was covering the Huntington Beach rally.

In his plea agreement, Laube admitted to associating with members of the Rise Above Movement, which represented itself as a “combat-ready, militant group of a new nationalist white supremacy and identity movement.”

Online games will now be banned from giving players rewards if they log in every day, if they spend on the game for the first time or if they spend several times on the game consecutively. All are common incentive mechanisms in online games.


The new rules revealed on Friday are the most explicit yet aimed at curbing in-game spending. Besides banning reward features, games are also required to set limits on how much players can top up their digital wallets for in-game spending.


Games are also banned from offering probability-based lucky draw features to minors, and from enabling the speculation and auction of virtual gaming items.

 

His voice cracking at times, he said that’s why he worked so hard to see the national security aid pass the Senate this month, insisting “America’s global leadership is essential.”
