I was going to say that this looks exactly like one of the conference rooms in the Old Post Office Building, but then I googled and remembered that Trump's lease on the building was allowed to go through and it's now the Trump International Hotel. And, as President, Trump is his own landlord. I actually completely forgot that this happened and it is still hilarious that a law as clear as "Public Officials can't have the government lease them public property" was just sidelined.

Al Borland Corp. posted:I believe boxing faced a decline thanks to competition from UFC, MMA and similar, which has the benefit of both looking more violent like the audience wants while actually being safer and resulting in less injuries. boxing declined before the rise of mma, mma is just filling the vacuum of serious punch sports on television since the only thing you regularly can see is wrestling which isn't quite so serious

boner confessor posted:haha the professional bull riding circuit also has a page for the bulls and collects stats on them, in case you needed to see another example of the importance of educating potential viewers as to who the hell your athletes even are I wonder if they have bull trading cards? God knows there's trading cards for everything else under the sun. Edit: they do

try the new taco place posted:And right after that, POTUS is lying on Fox & Friends directly, instead of tweeting replies to their stories. So unfair, the most unfair one sided Tax Deal in History. Highest tax rate in the world, fix it McConnell! Obama Bad! I've just kind of determined that he doesn't give a poo poo if he lies his rear end off for the sake of pandering to his base and feeding them what they want to hear while everyone else goes "WTF" or just laughs at him so it's going to be this way for his entire presidency. We've had at least 5 most unfair deals or systems that America has entered into simultaneously this year because each one needs to be brought up at the time it's relevant and stated to be as such for the sake of his base.

The end result of these weight restrictions is that, unlike conventional collegiate football which places a premium on body weight and strength, sprint football emphasizes speed and agility. I've been to a game, it's fun.

BarbarianElephant posted:He's not as homophobic as ISIS or Roy Moore. The Log Cabin Republican slideshow celebrating Trump's inauguration was literally - and I am not missing anything, this is 100% of the things on the list - a bunch of pictures of him standing near famous gay people from his days in show business and a bullet point list of "achievements" that consisted of: - Plan to defeat ISIS, a group which executes gays and lesbians. - Said that marriage equality was "settled law." - Held an LGBT pride flag for a photo. - Paid the salaries and created jobs for thousands of gay and lesbian Americans. - Said that gays should be able to serve in the military in 1998 (but then was for DADT in 2010. This wasn't included on the list.) - Reform our immigration system to reward those who follow the rules (not sure how this was LGBT related, but they included it)

The authoritarianism is just so blatant, jesus, like a prog rock opera. It's so easy to roll your eyes at the atheist kid who doesn't want to do the daily flag worship you overlook these people using force of law to impel black children to stand up and sit down on command in relation to a ritual act of worship for their loving flag. But like everything flag related it isn't about the stupid cloth, it's about controlling the expression and public political acts of black kids. It's just right there. I feel like this should have been clearer than it was previously, because it's just right the hell there.

PT6A posted:Huh, I'm very uninformed about ballet so I didn't know that. Interesting. It basically requires you to be skinny as gently caress and perform feats like standing on your tip toes quiet often as well as acrobatics and trust falls with partners among other really uncomfortable types of posture. All of them seem like a nice healthy combination for broken bones and health problems. People like to associate it with dainty femininity which is moderately fair but that doesn't make it easy by any stretch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IMkjt1-A3M Also gonna do the Canadian thing and say people could play hockey. In reality there are no safe sports. Hockey is loving ridiculous though with people getting crushed up against the boards, cut by skates, whacked in the face by errant sticks and pucks of vulcanized rubber being fired at you at velocities of over 100 Kph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdkPZrGL21I Also this poo poo happened to the captain of my favorite NHL team a while back.
