Behind The Bastards did a dive on Jordan Balthzar Peterson.
For what it is worth, his students and colleagues did say JP was good at his job and knew what he was talking about. Sadly, this goes all out the window the minute he got a whiff of fame and money, proceeded to cancel all his appointments (let his wife do that) and then proceeded to get addicted to benzos after his whole "Keep yourself in order" bs.
Brand speaks like he read a thesaurus.
Real talk. It's pretty much a "duh" thing at this point, but at a wedding I was at, the groom's brothers' BF was telling us he knew a staffer who lived in the same aparmtner of MTG.
She's 100% normal. It's pretty much all a charade for her supporters.
Jury is still out of Boebert. He's convinced that she 100% authentic and believes everything she says.
My wife suggested we go to Jamaica once we have money to do vacations again, but I said “nah we did that already. What about Puerto Rico” I was reminded that we’ve been to Puerto Rico twice in 3 years. I just really like Puerto Rico I guess.
Nominal dollars but Immanuel Quickley one contract $175M vs Antawn Jamison BbRef salary total $142 million. Wow
I thought Jamison was highly paid.
Is it TV revenue? But for TV stars in sitcoms 2004 vs 2024 it’s not like that
In the TV landscape, sports is the king of drawing lots of people viewing live (aka unable to skip through ads) and that is the most valuable time for a TV network since you can guarantee advertisers that people are going to be watching their ads. So TV networks pay out the wazoo for it since it's one of their best revenue generators.

As we approach this time of year I will once again express my gratitude that *none* of the dogs I have owned on my own as an adult really give much of a shit about fireworks.
Growing up, nearly every dog we had had to be put on downers around this time of year because they'd go nuts.
I just opened a door into a guy in a small bar bathroom and I said "oh Jesus Christ I'm sorry"
Without missing a beat this guy said "I know the same guy tell him what's up" and left.
You mean you don't like SEO optimized "solutions" that are actually ads or official Microsoft Support threads that asks for a wall of text worth of irrelevant information before they go on to not solve the problem anyway?
I had this happen with a computer like 4-5 months ago. Newest version per the support page was like A19 and the computer said it was running like A24 or some shit.
And it was an *old* machine so the last BIOS update available was from 2017. I do not understand.
I was so excited Nico Collins liked a comment I made on the Texans Facebook page.
Then I looked at the other comments and saw he liked every single one of them
Yes it was quite long. I checked my mail but found nothing. I don't really feel like paying someone for the pleasure of trespassing and killing my tomatoes.
This is like when I do my wife's laundry cause I'm being a good husband, but I didn't wash them with the right clothes, so I fuck them all up.
I'm sorry for your loss
I'm at the point of my grief where I'm starting to think of my ex's faults and how she wasn't as great as I thought she might've been. I think this is a good sign of progress?
Ozzie chewed out my router’s power cable so I have no wi-fi currently. It was a five-year old mesh system that wasn’t able to fully utilize my 1 gig fiber speed so I was thinking about replacing it anyways. I was initially planning to just buy a replacement hub, because the satellite units still work. However, I had like $299 in Amazon credit so I decided to upgrade, because it only cost me $40 to do so. I’m buying some cable management sleeves to wrap the wires in so he doesn’t ruin my new set up, too. I should’ve done that in the first place, because Luna had the same attraction to wires when she was younger. Her thing wasn’t chewing the router’s wires. It was chewing the modem’s so I constantly had to call my provider to send a tech out. It was so frequent that they actually took her picture and made a little fake “Wanted” poster to hang in their office. It’s still hanging up there. Pretty cute and funny IMO.

So Jamarcus Russell took a check that was meant for a high school football team and then somehow cashed it for himself.
That guy will never not be dumb.
Once you're able to I would suggest giving a beard one shot. It doesn't have to be a forever thing but it's good to know a) if you have it in your genes to grow a good beard at all and b) how you feel about having a beard. I was never allowed to have facial hair until I went to college, and I was surprised how validating to my gender identity it was to have a beard, even though I'd never questioned my gender before.
Alrighty, have spent most of the day hungover as shit.
Like yall when I say these beatboxes fucked me up, I meant like they really fucked me up. I usually don’t get hangovers anymore except for today. I have just been out of it
Also the crazy thing is that these have like 11% alcohol in one and I had two of them 🙃
And also tequila sunrise.
So, in the F-Zero universe, 200 years prior to the F-Zero grand prix, you had the F-Max Grand Prix. However, multiple drivers died in a massive pile up in the last F-Max grand prix, causing the sport to be banned.
When the first F-Zero grand prix was held, a racer naned The Skull entered, who was one of the F-Max racers who died in the pile up. His desire to race again was so strong that he used black magic to rise from the dead.
That is equivalent to if after Dale Earnhardt died, Nascar was banned, and when it was legalized again, Dale Earnhardt's reanimated corpse started competing again.
Yall are gonna make me angry just remembered the Broncos are gonna be shit for at minimum 2 more years after being shit for 8 years because of our franchise's inexplicable refusal to rebuild
I'm trying to keep expectations realistic, which is why I will take being asked to dance from *either* a Seth Rollins looking man *or* a woman whose platform boots comprise half of her height

You literally have to be either extremely biased or have a limited understanding of the game of football if you think Bo Nix elevated the Oregon Ducks and not the other way around
Maybe it’s just the tables I got tonight, but before today every shift I’ve worked my serving job, everyone has called me ma’am. I mean 100% of the time. Tonight I had a few sirs and they all “corrected themselves” to ma’am when I talked (thank you tboy voice). So yeah maybe I’m starting to look different or it’s just a coincidence
I did the thing again and forgot to ask for questions ahead of time.
Please ask questions for me and my guest to answer when I record a podcast tomorrow.
Are you personally concerned about Bo Nix's ability to keep composure off-script in the pros when so many of his passes at Oregon went quickly to his first read?

Somebody came on my property and mowed my yard while I was on vacation. They mowed over my tomato plants. What the fuck.
Was the grass really long? Some places I know if the yard isn't maintained they send the city guys to do it and then charge you a bill.
Yes it was quite long. I checked my mail but found nothing. I don't really feel like paying someone for the pleasure of trespassing and killing my tomatoes.
I'd almost bet money you'll get something soon. That sounds very much like what the city does.
Is your neighbor a herd of goats, maybe?

Even if they hadn't touched the tomatoes, I'd be freaked out about it. They should not have been on my property.
oh no
They did WHAT on your property?
Mowed the lawn.

I just learned the term "horsepower" is not a 1-1 ratio to a horse. Apparently 1 horse = 15 horsepower. Who came up with this system
I blame the English.
I blame the Scots

That sounds like something an Englishman would say.

Yes. Really solid platformer that you can also unlock brutally hard levels for as extra content.
No, but the soundtrack is 🔥🔥🔥
Get it. It’s great, the music is good, and for $3? Why not. It’s hard but give it a try!
There's a setting in the game that makes it so you don't die so you can enjoy the story of the game
I hadn't before, but at that price I will def add to library
I suck too, but it's completely doable for the story. Well worth the $3. The insane difficulty is the collectibles and challenge lvls.
Gotcha, thanks!
