I agree. Society hasn't really caught up yet with video games and understanding how they can develop real marketable skills.

Brady opened the door for a team to call him later in the season.

BTW, warrants out for Rice.

Is his season over? Career?

The law is already forcing businesses to close and jobs have been and will be lost. Plus, now we just count the days until those workers are replaced by machines.

What then?

I learned more in the military then college and it's not even close. However, I did enjoy probably half of the classes I took in college. Learned some things there too, just not at the same pace or level I learned it in the military. Plus, going to college later in life meant I knew most of the stuf...

Has anyone ever asked them "Where is this money supposed to come from?" And if so, what was their answer? It has been asked, but I don't remember the specific answers. I do know that Rousey is the only one who addressed bringing value to the people putting on the event. I do know that the...

I support it to a point, as I've stated previously, but I think costs in general need to drop to more realistic levels. The "Wall St drives everything" model is destroying the economy.

And colleges selling shit that is worthless and/or not needed. I still remember the super nice guy I worked with at HP/Owens Corning who had a masters degree in Ancient Greek History. I asked him what he can do with that degree and he said very sadly, "Teach". He wasn't happy about it. He...

I don't know. I do know Brian Grant is intentionally not telling the full story (or just parroting something he heard). The WNBA doesn't make shit in revenue and has abysmal ratings. That $76k/yr is the rookie salary for the top four picks and it goes up every year per their players agreement. The h...

Agree. I know Catt will point out all the things that suggest the economy is doing well, but people don't see it at the grocery store, restaurants, the gas pump, the Bunny Ranch, and so on. The economy doing well doesn't mean everyone is doing well. Most of the benefits of our economy is going to t...

BTW, just a follow up on a conversation from a short time ago: This year's women's final beat the men's in the ratings.

A reminder that whether you believe in religion or science, we're all related and products of incest.

Obama advisor thinks Biden's campaign needs to rethink their "the economy is awesome" approach. Agree. I know Catt will point out all the things that suggest the economy is doing well, but people don't see it at the grocery store, restaurants, the gas pump, the Bunny Ranch, and so on. Sel...

Fuck him. Rot in hell.

BTW, whenever I see RIH I always default to "Rot in Hell". I don't know who came up with this "Rest in Heaven" bullshit, but I would absolutely believe someone did it to excuse using RIH meaning Rot in Hell and it caught on.

Sure, and I'm "The World Famous Catt"

In the world of DTManers, that is true!

Yeah, that's pretty stupid

Also, I'm with you about saddling students with massive debt is dumb, but this is all a government created problem. Well, not all. It was also helped along by bullshit demands for a college degree for every position.

The local AAA baseball team. In terms of famous AAA teams, I think the Durham Bulls are second only to the Toledo Mud Hens. I think you have that backwards, since we had a movie, and yall didn't. They're, literally, called "The world famous Toledo Mud Hens". We had "the" TV Show...

I posted this story on the 8th in the Trump thread. Or did something change with it?

I think it's amazing how they're using woke language in an anti-abortion law.

NY Post getting dragged and ratioed to hell for picking on 94 year old Gene Hackman's clothes. He's also one of the greatest actors ever and I don't remember any scandals involving him. Let him enjoy retirement. Praise him for being that old and independent. Plus, they got community noted as they go...

Glad you liked it. I truly think X and Pearl are underrated gems. I'm looking forward to the story continuing in MaXXXine.
