you deserve to be criticized if you support Barstool and/or treat them as anything other than the corporate equivalent of the MAGA hat teen

It's hard to win a trade war when you're being investigated by the Democrats.

Thank God people like Tyler Dreiling are out there to publicly whine about it for us.

What part of shoveling involves looking and pointing like that?

One aspect about all of this that I find fascinating is the question of what it takes to knock down someone in a super powerful position. I think you need to throw everything you can at them. And given that it is a politician, that includes doing what you can to influence public opinion.

Getting destroyed by OU.

I learned about STRA1G4T in the 1 thread. Am I understanding correctly? KU promoted the 2018-19 season by referencing the streak? And it looks like 2018-19 season actually ends the streak??? Wow.

Maybe it's less that Mawien is bad and more that 1-4 are just really good.  :dunno:

More on dude#2!

So, I went to the store and picked up some $6 reading glasses to leave at work and $10 worth of lottery tickets.

The VP was there when I got back. He said and did a bunch of totally normal stuff for the next several hours. BUT THEN, as I was getting ready to leave, he told me that he wanted to share something with me. I'd learned earlier that he was a wrestling coach and has a son who is a star wrestler. He then told me that he'd taken his son to Nationals as a 14 year old and felt terrible because his son lost immediately. His reaction was to write a letter to his son. The letter is what he wanted to share with me. So, I sat there as he read verbatim this 3/4 page, single spaced, deeply personal letter about winning and losing and trying and getting back up and learning life lessons. As he's reading it, I'm like, "Oh crap. How am I supposed to respond to this? Is my response going to sound phony? What's going on here!?" Luckily, he kept right on talking after reading and the conversation flowed naturally.

so dude #2 is the VP?

Yes, but I don't think anyone would call him that any longer.

There are around 50 employees. What you might call the "leadership team" has continually evolved since I've been here. I'd define the leadership team as whatever group of 2-6 people are best able to influence the Owner/CEO at a given moment. That's a whole story unto itself. All the jockeying for position.

The titles probably couldn't be more meaningless. D2 was introduced to me as a VP. At this point, it  would seem silly to refer to him that way.

(I'm actually fine with the 90s. I just wanted to lol at Bloodhound Gang.)

Confirmation that all of the deadlines were nothing but lies to placate Trump. Haha.

For a time, the instinct of the president’s lawyers was to try and persuade him that the investigations would soon be over, Cobb said.

“But it's never going to be over,” Cobb said. “I mean, this is going to go through 2020. And if the president is reelected, it'll go beyond that.”

I'm glad TCU's not trying super hard against us.

She already totally reamed his ass. I don't know what else she can do but put him in jail.

At one point, he pulled in an executive that was passing by to show him this t-shirt.

This guy's response, in a monotone voice, was, "Wow. That's high praise." Then, he immediately turned around and walked out.
