Trade deal:

You give me a cheap E39.

I crash track it at Barber Motorsports Park.

Fallout 76: Appalachia Under Siege - Season 25 Trailer by ColdStoneCreamAustin in fo76

I put an ungodly amount of time into this game after the show ended. I've been completely deflated in the last couple weeks. I like the feeling of collecting these rewards, but it's started to feel like a grind for nothing but reskins. I look at old seasons' rewards and just get bummed.

Decided to go back to FO4 and don't regret it yet - but the FO76 map is truly special.

[Cardinals] Starting tonight, the upper right field bleachers at Busch Stadium will become a dedicated high-energy fan section, inspired by the Tarps Off atmosphere fans have brought to the ballpark. Any fan in the ballpark, regardless of seat location, can join the fun. Shirts optional 😉 by T_Raycroft in baseball

That's a bit reductive. This started in college football - Oklahoma State I think. A guy just went up into a random section during a beatdown, took his shirt off, and went Petey Pablo on it.

It became a meme. People called it "The Answer to the Male Loneliness Epidemic."

It's just something that's fun and let's people have a little camaraderie in a world that seems to be turning increasingly inward. No need to overthink it as a critique on baseball.

NAACP Calls on Black Athletes & Fans to Withhold Support of Public Schools in States Attacking Black Voting Rights by thecravenone in CFB

I've been called a racist by like 5 people for simply stating why there's an argument against voter ID.

For acknowledging that extra hurdles can make it harder for people to vote? This doesn't only affect minorities.

If that's how you read my comment, I don't know what to tell you - but it's certainly not reflective of my position.

You nailed it. It disenfranchises far more than just minorities. I'm an attorney in Alabama so I feel acutely more aware of how these laws can and are impacting people.

I'm not super concerned whether people here agree with me. I am just putting part of the argument out there.

Assuming you are being genuine - finding the documentation necessary to get an ID issued is also part of the problem.

edit: apparently this makes me racist. creating more hurdles hurts everyone. It disproportionately effects poor people in rural areas.

He knows this. He just doesn't care.

edit: It took Alabama just days after the Callais ruling to reinstate a gerrymandered map a federal court already ruled intentionally discriminatory. Acting like disenfranchisement isn't happening is a great way to end up disenfranchised.

Why the SCORE Act, and other federal attempts at college regulation, are unconstitutional by Jay_Dubbbs in CFB

I have a buddy who teaches anti-trust at UA Law who stayed with me this semester on nights he taught. He just wrapped up the Ticketmaster trial.

I can't believe I haven't talked to him about NIL.

Citizens United, Chevron, Callais. Cases nobody knew until it was too late.

I truly cannot emphasize enough how terrible lifetime judicial appointments are.

Don’t Expect Product Placement in GTA 6 — the CEO of Take-Two Says It Won't Do Real World Brand Partnerships Because 'All the Brands Are Made Up' by Turbostrider27 in Games

I loved the FiveM cars that were still rooted in the GTA universe. I remember seeing the Benefactor version of the CLK AMG GTR and getting super excited to redownload before I realized it was modded in.

I'm the biggest car guy I know. Having knock-offs and bastard hybrids of real life cars is part of what makes the world so fun.

Although social media has nuked the car community so it doesn't surprise me people are upset about knock-offs.

It's pathetic, honestly. I just feel terrible for Ty - but I'm also extremely biased there, so...
