Why is trans sports talk filtering into the general trans thread?

How big of a lawn do you need in order to justify a riding lawn mower?

My neighborhood is like 50/50. I use a push mower and it takes me about an hour to mow my whole lawn. Two of my closest neighbors use riders and one other also uses a push.

I hire a kid to mow and edge every other week, then I just mow on the off week.

My guess for a rider is somewhere approaching two hours for a push mower, I’d prob start looking into a rider.

Tech is so tough.

Going iso w/ Williams and he just big-boyed them like 90s NBA.

Dude just dominated both ends of the floor for that stretch.

South Central Kansas to Las Vegas, Nevada thru ABQ out and back.

Not a true vision quest as I wasn't really meandering and kind of pushed on time, also no photos. What a drive tho. The west is just so big and glorious/desolate/beautiful/ominious.

what a place

You can almost hear the echoes of the cheers from when a young SteveDave roamed the gridiron here, neck-roll and all, ready to inflict massive amounts of pain on would be ball-carriers.

Again, whether or not he is the antichrist any "Christians" actively supporting him prove to me that it is 100000% possible for the antichrist to happen. Jews too given the golden idol imagery.

My boy @donniediscerned has been on the case for years. I personally, on believe in a “the” antichrist, but antichrist has reared its ugly head over and over throughout history.

Autism spectrum = fake
Antichrist = throughout history

Accurate?

This article by a dude diagnosed as autistic during childhood does a better job of illustrating what I am trying to convey about autism than I can.

https://www.madinamerica.com/2019/02/i-dont-believe-in-autism/

As for antichrist, it’s nothing more than instead of Christ, or in worse cases against Christ or masquerading as Christ/Christlikeness.

That was some rambling nothingness.  He doesn’t inform anyone about anything. That article read like someone’s half finished bullet point outline for an article but somehow also felt long and rambling.

 ok

I think some of you may be going to Vegas for the wrong reasons

indeed.

I've stayed at luxor, monte carlo RIP, Park MGM, Vdara, Flamingo, Rio (woof), Horseshoe/Bally's and Paris. I liked all of them for various reasons. The only one I wouldn't stay at again is Luxor. It's just too far away from the poker rooms and casinos I like the most. I'd like to do a midweek trip some time, so I can afford a real high end place like Aria, Venetian or Wynn some time. Though tbh, I feel like a fish out of water at the Wynn (outside of the poker room).

Some of the places downtown are really terrible quality like Casino Royale or Harrah's are on The Strip, but Circa and the Golden Nugget are nice properties. I've heard The D is a blast as well. I just never stay downtown cuz the nugget is the only place w poker. I do enjoy my time there tho. It's fun.

This last trip was the first one where I really "Vegas'd" in any real way, and I enjoyed it a lot and wasn't pining for home even after 5 days.

Three off-strip recommendos:

Bootleggers Italian, longtime local joint that used to be in the old El Rancho, but is not south of the airport on LV BLVD. Great food and drinks and normal prices. live music often in the evening for dinner.

McMullen's Irish Pub: another local place that has been around awhile. really good irish pub food and great beer and drinks. cool crowd and staff.

Texas de Brazil: like Fogo De Ciao or however it is spelled. forget exactly where it is.

I've heard Herbs n Rye is good.

Vdara is great for the reasons you mentioned.

Yeah the inside sportsbook is just about as impressive. The outside is kinda annoying you have to pay to even step foot outside but i get it.

I can't get down with the downtown vibe. The old days with the cheap minimums I could overlook it but those days are largely gone based on the last time I went down there. The people downtown are a considerable step down from the strip.

Vegas Casinos in general are incredible people watching from that standpoint. The sheer difference in folks from casino to casino is so stark. I usually play a lot of poker and enjoy walking from my room at like Paris or something thru all the casinos on that side of the strip until I get to Wynn or Venituon.

The greatest contrast is probably leaving the Wynn or V after a poker session and immediately walking into probably the worst casino/hotel on the strip Casino Royale.

The guests at the Wynn make me feel like I belong in Casino Royale

I don’t believe that there is a higher percentage of people with autism now than there was 60 years ago, just more awareness and thus more diagnosis’s.

I am convinced that for like 60% of today’s autism diagnoses, 20-50 years ago they just would have been diagnosed as being an bad person.

Most spectrum autism is fake imo, or just basically being unable to “deal” with a variety of situations or things imo. A lot of it is people never learning to, or being forced to learn to deal with said situations or difficulties. There is obviously real, debilitating autism as well.

Circa “Stadium pool” really great newer downtown property overall

https://x.com/FastbreakHoops5/status/1898414707159003401

Watched the sunflower football match there this year. It was cool but the very loud club music got old fast. I got absolutely toasty in the hot tub cheering on the cats though.

It’s a great resort. I really liked the inside
