2022 LC Thread—New Year, New Thread

economies seem to get crushed by it

I’m not sure if we have a shortage or surplus, but they are definitely distributed suboptimally.

I just assume by default that everyone involved with professional sports is at least MAGA-curious.

Even black people? I assume the opposite for them.

I do as well, but I’m assuming every white male in pro sports is a complete piece of shit until there’s evidence pointing in another direction.

We’re still talking about Stephen A. Smith, right?

I was speaking generally.

Stephen A is an absolute moron, but I wouldn’t have assumed him to be MAGA.

Yeah, agreed on both points.

Sadly, yes.

o/u on how much this dude walks away with in the divorce?

I feel like it should be close to zero, since the fortune was/is her separate property. But somehow I doubt it’s that easy.

even the coast guard?

They probably had a prenup, they had no kids, they weren’t married very long, and the money wasn’t earned during the marriage, so my guess is that he’ll get something more than zero, but I don’t think he’s going to be making the Forbes list.

Nice. Off to Poland I guess.

And watermelons were built into the ground so they couldn’t be moved. And there were laws heavily restricting farming so everyone but the ultra wealthy struggled to afford food. And whenever someone proposed loosening the rules on farming, people said there was actually plenty of food, the poor just needed to go to Alaska and eat watermelons.

Stephen A was on some podcast I listen to. Boring hyper libertarian rich dude that is obsessed with getting even more rich and thinks he is special because he agrees with Dems that discrimination is bad.

Whoa dude, you adopted the exact political position that maximally benefits yourself. Such deep and ground breaking thinking!

Oh no we got a fishing scandal. And nothing creative, just full-on shoving lead weights (and some extra fillets lol) into the fish. Someone in the replies says the cheating fishing team won $300K in a previous tournament, so not like a $100 prize between friends. NSFW language as these fishermen REALLY don’t like being cheated like this. I think that’s one of the cheaters standing there saying nothing, surprised he didn’t bolt with the palpable anger from all those angry, beefy boys.

I would think so, but I don’t know how it usually works at those things. When the guy is cutting the weights out I was thinking how the F do you not feel that in there?

edit: I’ve never caught a walleye before though, maybe they’re good for stashing large round weights
