The optimist in me says, that we wanted to bring freedom to the Iranians and we did.

Unfortunately, we did it in the Kris Kristofferson sense

I enjoy a pickle back on rare occasions. But definitely a sometimes food

It’s the radioactive version of truck nuts

Jewish man mistakes two Israeli tourists for Palestinians and opens fire on them in Miami Victims reportedly posted ‘death to Arabs’ on social media after shooting while suspect held on attempted murder charges

That said, this ridiculous event in response to Oct 7 has cinematic levels of dark humor

Jewish American man shoots two Israelis because he thought they were Palestinians. One of the guys shot thought it was an antisemitic attack and responded by posting “Death to Arabs”

5-10% is still crazy high! The previous baseline in a conventional war has been 0% for over 60 years

20% is way too high. I’m at 5%, which is still crazy high. The answer to #2 is yes

My hope is there’s someone in his inner circle that he trusts that lets him know he will go down in history as a Hitler or Stalin figure if he does it. Or maybe that’s a bad idea since he’ll like being remembered

The Raiders were better the 6 years before they moved to Vegas than the 6 years since

So does Peltola. Her district was the whole state

I’m guessing Shohei is moving back to Japan after he retires, which can have tax rates up to 55%

They do. There are a bunch of names that were very common in Egypt when I was a kid that are no longer common at all. And also there are names that are old fashioned because people don’t name their kids that anymore.

Though I’m not sure what the Arabic equivalent of Murray is

The same people who demand synagogues denounce Israel would think it’s vile to demand every mosque denounce Isis or the Taliban every time there was an attack on American troops. They’re wrong on the former, right on the latter

Someone raised it on the other thread, but I think the difference is the social aspect of those vices. Which is why people see poker and table games different than slots or sports betting

I would say that video blackjack has a worse perception than table blackjack, for this reason

The popular conception of craps is a bunch of people around the table having a great time, asking your girlfriend to blow on the dice for luck and table camaraderie. The popular conception of slots is an elderly person throwing their Social Security check away one pull at a time, alone

I think this is a part of it. There are definitely tiers of bad in perception of gambling. With slots as the most looked down upon and poker among the least. Some of it is a perception of skill, but much of it is the social aspect.

I don’t know why, but I would have thought you’d be a craps man (complimentary)

I was meeting someone at the George Washington Bridge Bus Station. Their bus was delayed so I popped into the OTB because it was the only place there that served beers.

Unsurprisingly, OTB at the George Washington Bridge Bus Station was fucking grim

That’s not true. When I lived there in 2018-2020, you could bet online with Bet365

I was like Rodger and I think it’s partly because of that and partly because I never thought the advertising would get so out of control. I lived in the UK for a couple years, where online gambling is legal and betting shops, sponsored EPL teams and it’s still 1000x worse here than there

Tbh, it’s different than I expected. I would have thought it would have the French pronunciation of ay-tyen

Feels like this could be used to describe anyone’s stint on the Jets

One of the preseason invitationals seems like the right place. There’s a reason pro sports leagues usually try things out during the preseason or in development leagues

Except for 80, oddly enough

The amazing thing about Nextdoor is that it went from the most unhinged social network to one of the least unhinged ones

How long would Wilt’s streak have gone without the ejection?

4 consecutive 60 point games is diabolical

TBH, I think if you flipped their terms, Mnuchin would be the freak and Bessent would be the normal one. Trump just has a far stranger effect on all Republicans this go around

The old Fonz jukebox trick

Even if this is what you believe, how dumb do you have to be to say this now, with Trump’s popularity in the toilet

Just listened to the episode today and I was shocked the recalcitrant baseball team wasn’t the Red Sox. As a Dodgers fan it pissed me off
