That is both bizarre and doesn't sound good at all for Burke.

Reminder that Billy Haisley once opened a Deadspin article with a 335-word one-sentence paragraph.quote:Nevertheless, it's important to clarify that the person we see on the field or in advertisements, no matter how athletically admirable, is not necessarily the same as the person who exists beyond the spotlight. That conflation between good deeds on the field and a good person off of it is the origin of much of what is dangerous about godding up athletes. By the same token, if there is to be anything of broader socio-cultural importance to glean from sports and the people in it, and if athletes and their exploits can be said to represent anything bigger than the individuals who perform them, then it must lie in figuring out how to excise what is transcendent from what must be denounced. This isn't about liking Neymar as a person, but it is about learning about what his career has to teach. I could read this after three energy drinks and a mountain of coke and my eyes would still slowly close and I'd forget where I was and what I was doing.

The SCOTUS relaxes all "vice" advertising in the near future and Team PornHub led by Cale Yarborough III rides the SlutMobile to the NASCAR championship. I could totally see the France family allowing this for the sake of money

The last four to eight years have truly broken a lot of people. Since the start of 2020 I have watched and heard stories about an aunt of mine going from a standard-issue Midwestern Conservative shithead to a lunatic conspiracy theorist that barely anyone else in the extended family - even the ones with the same politics she had - can stand to speak to in person. She's not the only person I know who fell down this route. There was a guy whose family I was good friends with when I lived in SE Minnesota who went full QAnon, and he ended up losing his job, his wife, and his two kids shortly after Biden was elected. He just lost his drat mind, and he didn't even need drugs or alcohol to do it.

Salvor_Hardin posted:Roth actually spoke on this on the last ep of The Distraction. Former pitcher Steve Carlton went full proto-Qanon after retiring, up to and including living fully off the grid and willingly giving interviews and sharing dozens of mutually conflicting conspiracy theories. And yes I know it's Alex Jones, but when you're too much of a conspiracy theorist for Alex Jones you might want to evaluate your thinking.

Bird in a Blender posted:That sounds less like conspiracy theories and more like old fashioned racism. Racists have been defending Hitler for 90 years. I took a Freshman English class that had a unit on Holocaust Denial - was pretty drat heavy for 18-year-old me. The people who were peddling that poo poo on the Internet in the early 00's would never have imagined in their wildest dreams (a number of prominent ones have died) how much reach their various asinine theories about World War II could gain over the next 15+ years.

Bip Roberts posted:Out of people who are willing to be a neo nazi in public much fewer of them are willing to say that the holocaust was real and good so there usually is a conspiracy element. Even without denialism you need to believe in a Jewish conspiracy to be a nazi. "See this mass grave? [picture of mass grave of dead Jews below] Those people obviously all starved to death. Why did they starve to death? Because naturally Germany was going to give their limited wartime food resources to German citizens first, and because the Allied Powers had the gall to attack them there wasn't enough food to go around, and the people in the perfectly safe work camps had to go without. So, you need to open up your third eye and apply some critical thinking and realize that if there really was a Holocaust of six million Jews it was largely the fault of the United States military and Americans only have themselves to blame. I still think the craziest one I came across was, "Oh, all those mounds where the mass graves supposedly are? All airbrushed. War propaganda." You might wonder why Freshmen in college might be asked to study and refute stuff like that. Well, the point of the class was basically to show how people can take in incredibly detailed documentation of an event and still deny the reality that's right in front of their face.

ChickenMedium posted:Just wait until the lake dries up and everyone chokes to death on toxic dust. It felt like I brought the planet's worst loving drought with me when I moved here in 2018, but the last two winters are expected to bring the Great Salt Lake up to its highest level in 5+ years in time for summer. I knew next to nothing about Utah before I moved here as a remote work with my wife for her new, and weird, teaching job where she gets to write her own custom curriculum - there was Salt Lake City, Provo, mountains, and some national parks. Coming from a place where water has never been an issue, I had no idea the lakes here were in that bad a shape. Crazy Ted fucked around with this message at 23:12 on May 12, 2024 |

DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:i just got back from there. Crown Burger was great. i didn’t have time to get a Dirty Soda or some Navajo Tacos, but those were also on my list. the mountains were very pretty The thing I heard about caffeine announcement & "dirty" sodas after moving here was that it was due to extra-weird Mormons basically telling people they would go to hell if they drank so much as a Diet Coke, which is hilarious because I'm pretty sure it's drank like tap water here.

Rick posted:Man they really stuck you in one of the worst places possible as far as getting to see the must-see stuff in Utah and you're too close to the dreaded Idaho. Driving I-80 through Wyoming was, I think, the first time I've been seriously scared for long stretches of time driving through something other than heavy & aggressive traffic. I can't remember where, but there are places on I-80 in Wyoming where they have electronic signs telling you what the current crosswind speeds are because they're frequently over 55 MPH. Driving through that with a Speed Limit of 80? gently caress that.
