  1. Thanks for the well wishes. All is great with the kid. Attending UNLV and loving it. Has a steady poorly paying job and looking to fly the coop soon. Definitely much happier than high school.
  2. Growing up facing an increase of the likelihood of multiple doomsday scenarios being highly promoted nonstop, from global warming and climate change to gun violence to the rise of authoritarianism and throw in a Pandemic, has to drag on their generational happiness. Not to mention more than some question regarding America's ability or appetite to remain a superpower, the attack on individual rights and highly polarized politics. I can't think of a shittier time to grow up in America than maybe the Silent generation preceeding the "greatest generation." But even they enjoyed the roaring 20's before the Depression and between wars. Maybe you'd have to go back to the civil war to find a young generation who had it tougher? Sure they enjoy the fruits of a modern, technologically advanced society, but there are significant mental and emotional stressors that can't be easy for young minds to deal with in a healthy way. Seems to me like the bad really outweighs the good for that generation. They likely have a lot of hopelessness.
  3. Agreed. That wasn't my point. My point was people weren't paying attention to it until 2016.
  4. Agreed to a degree, but his self promotion and celebrity were largely ignored outside of NYC and birthers until 2016. So I do think there is validity to born's argument that this case would not be litigated if not for his presidential run. And I am definitely in favor of litigating it.
  5. Hopefully we should be better than the PAC-12 next season.
  6. Man. That is a brutal way to go out. Yikes.
  7. I'm not a fan of the "victimless crime" argument, nor do I support the notion that all is hunky dory because the bank still loaned him the money. Dude repeatedly, and intentionally, perpetrated fraud. His business model depended on fraudulent claims. Still does. That said, of course this case is politically motivated. Your point of this repeated fraud being publicly known is important to that. Why is it so publicly known when other fraudulent actions by others are not? Politics. So, yes, Donald can claim witch hunt on this. As long as he admits he is, actually, a witch.
  8. You mean the Biden Presidency supports abortion rights? A shocking development.
  9. Seems like this is a time of life thing rather than a generational thing. They just need to learn to pray the gay away. Getting the wrong indoctrination. Also gay people must be scary if we need to be concerned about there being more of them.
  10. I think the only equitable answer for transitional athletes who want to compete is a transitional category. Either that or remove them from any kind of scoring or placement on individual events and not allow them to compete in team events. Probably not enough of them to establish a separate transitional category.
