StrangersInTheNight posted:

Someone mentioned false testicles, but there's also the fact that a lot of neutering now doesn't fully removed the testes, just nips things more like a dog vasectomy. So it's not always clear from sight, and it's a waste of resources and as well as stressful/potentially dangerous to the animal to put it under and perform unnecessary surgery. So - blammo, tattoo by the genitals and you don't accidentally open up Bruno again.

Ok wait, since you seem to know about this: so now a days they don't cut the whole sack off or whatever anymore? Just snip the tubes (doggie vasectomy)? I've never seen a neutered dog with his sack still boppin around, though then again I've never seen a dog with a tattoo either.

Always nice to see flat-earther idiots wasting money.

Rapper B.o.B. raising funds to check if Earth is flat

quote:

The rapper, whose real name is Bobby Ray Simmons Jr, has been a vocal proponent of the Flat Earth theory - the claim the Earth is, in fact, a disc and not spherical. Some proponents of the Flat Earth theory claim NASA employees guard the edge of the world to prevent people falling off.

Seeking to raise $200,000 (�150,000) on the GoFundMe crowd-funding website, B.o.B refers to himself as "Flat Earth Bob". At the time of writing he had raised a little over $650, but the campaign was trending on the GoFundMe site.

Some of those who have donated to B.o.B.'s campaign have expressed support for the rapper.
"When/if you do make sure you let me know," one person who donated $20 wrote. "I've been trying to tell folks that there is no curve, therefore the Earth is not a globe".

Others were more sceptical. "Here's $5 to prove yourself wrong," another donor commented.

I kind of appreciate that his chosen method is to launch his own satellites into space. Like, for some reason you can't trust centuries of on-the-ground research and decades of verified measurements and photos from space, so I guess the best solution is to just launch somethingyou know you can trust into space yourself.

The only motivation I've seen posited is that it is supposed to keep people from believing in God. Not sure why you would want that, perhaps the whole thing was devised by Satan.

I think that most flat earthers use pretty much the same logic as other conspiracy theorists though. The world is controlled by a shadowy group of {reptillians | illuminati | zionists} who use {the globe earth lie | chemtrails | flouride} to keep the people down and remain in control. Because the idea that bad things happen because bad people are in charge is scary, but the idea that bad things happen for no reason at all? That's terrifying.

I've never seen a dog with a tattoo either, but my experience is from about 15 years ago. Back then they would make a small incision into the scrotum, squeeze out the teste, clamp off the vans deferens, cut the teste off, tie off the vans deferens, stuff it back into the sack and give the sack a sticth or two. It was a pretty standard procedure, and I can't imagine it being more complicated unless the owner requested it.

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/20824193/ncaa-basketball-coaches-10-charged-fraud-corruption

quote:

The coaches named in court documents are Auburn's Chuck Person, Oklahoma State's Lamont Evans, Arizona's Emanuel "Book" Richardson and USC's Tony Bland. It was not immediately clear who would represent them at initial court appearances.

Other people charged in Manhattan federal court included managers, financial advisers and representatives of a major international sportswear company. The details were to be discussed at a news conference Tuesday at noon ET.

...

Other people named in the documents include James Gatto, director of global sports marketing at Adidas; Merl Code, who recently left Nike for Adidas; Christian Dawkins, an NBA agent who was fired in May from ASM Sports for charging approximately $42,000 in Uber charges on a player's credit card; Jonathan Brad Augustine, president of The League Initiative and program director of the Adidas-sponsored 1 Family AAU program; Munish Sood, a financial adviser; and Rashan Michel, a former NBA official who founded Thompson Bespoke Clothing, a custom clothier for athletes.

The NCAA needs to be nuked into a smoking crater, and this won't do that, but it's still fun.

Everything I hear about big college sports in the US just seems to hosed up on so many levels.

I mean, it's college. Why do they have multimillion dollar sports teams where no one who plays gets any money and the coaches rape children but no one says anything because the team is more important than those young lives.

Also, none of the money ever seems to go to actually helping the rest of the college. The sports bring in millions and millions of dollars, but the science and arts get nothing.

Because it's a great way to farm talent for professional sports for free, and it's great advertising for the college so they can enroll more kids.

The actual reason is american football started as a game colleges played against one another in the later 1800s. Locals would head down to watch the games and the sport became more and more popular with college kids. Eventually you have arenas and stadiums being built for these games, but it was all still just colleges. Finally people put together professional leagues since the sport was so popular already.

This created a very weird situation which is unique to american football compared to most other sports, where they came up from the population at large, and due to their popularity, pro leagues formed. College came first, so it became the de-facto minor league, and now its so firmly entrenched it is inherent to the entire system.

Yeah, I've seen small blue/green marks (like, less than half an inch long) on female dogs that have been spayed. I see the sense in that. Tattooing a symbol on a dog seems weird.

It's not just the sports teams. People that dropped $150k on their degree want to make sure EVERYONE knows that they went there. Flags, license plates, shirts, etc.

It's a really weird dynamic, to me. Who the gently caress cares that you went to East Bumblefuck University?

I just get pissed whenever my school gets shut down for FOOBAW. Usually it's Saturdays, but I'm an engineering student, sometimes I got poo poo to do in the lab on weekends. And occasionally there'll be Thursday games, where because my school is completely up its own rear end, campus shuts down for an evening game at 12:30 in the afternoon.

And by shut down, this isn't just "gotta park far away from the stadium cause those garages are reserved"; no, they lock and rope off the doors to all the buildings.
