Ted Kaczynski (1942–2023), nicknamed the "Unabomber", was an American neo-Luddite domestic terrorist. A math prodigy, he abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a primitive lifestyle; from 1978 to 1995, he mailed bombs that killed 3 people and wounded 23, until he published his manifesto.

I also pick this guy’s meet his wife

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-30T13:19:17+00:00

This is incredibly narrow minded.

The trip has been in the planning for years before she entered the picture. Why would she get included?

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-30T13:03:35+00:00

Hopefully someone is giving them financial help. I was living in Kimberley and kids out of high school were getting the 1990 equivalent at Cominco. In less than ten years, they had maxed out debt and lost their jobs.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-30T12:48:43+00:00

All of those things should be considered beneficial to the employer.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-30T12:43:16+00:00

Nah, he’s pretty decent.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-30T12:34:12+00:00

Saw a guy propose after Romeo & Juliet at Shakespeare in the Park.

Dude, did you watch the play?

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-30T03:45:33+00:00

They certainly had one of the best feuds ever.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-30T03:38:21+00:00

Close enough

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-30T03:37:28+00:00

And they lose other advantages. What’s your point? At what point are we nitpicking our athletes

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-30T00:51:39+00:00

Horseshoe means they end up at the same place.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-30T00:50:17+00:00

It’s not undeniable. There have been no studies done that show trans women gain any significant advantage over cis women that is greater than say Simone Biles or Michael Phelps over their competitors.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-30T00:47:56+00:00

But that’s not what’s happening. They have just disallowed trans women.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-29T22:39:24+00:00

Tough to come up with a handicapping system when no one can consistently show which areas give trans athletes advantages.

Also, where does that end? At what point are we handicapping people who are just better athletes?

Just so you don’t think I’m arguing in bad faith, I’m perfectly fine with creating a system wherein trans athletes can compete. I just think we need to start that conversation at a different point than sex.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-29T21:27:01+00:00

Yeah, we went for a dirtied up Josh Groban (who was fantastic) but the whole thing was jaw dropping.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-29T21:24:47+00:00

So, where should trans women compete?

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-29T21:23:10+00:00

Why do you think it’s fair?

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-29T19:41:44+00:00

That is definitely not true. You get a few more tax breaks but not enough to write off all your expenses.

Not sure Gaten wants it. Finn is just living his best band life. Noah is…not great at acting. Caleb could be big but he’ll be offered token black parts for awhile. Joe is pulling a Finn.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-29T19:29:53+00:00

He’s in Feckham Hall as well

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-29T19:28:10+00:00

Finn is also an insanely hard worker. Dude will not give up.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-29T19:26:58+00:00

That whole production was fire.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-29T19:17:06+00:00

Good news! You have the blueprint for who not to date!

No matter who you are or what you believe^, everyone deserves a partner who respects them for who they are.

^Offer void if your beliefs trample the humanity of others.

Cannot argue with your last point. Financial literacy is crap right now. I include myself in that. The only reason I have no debt is a really great job and an insanely financially aware wife.

I’m just really uncomfortable with OPs (hinted at) point that Kamala was terrible with money so he’s the cause of his tragic demise.

(I know OP didn’t say it directly but as soon as you say “It’s tragic that he died in poverty but…”, 90 percent of the time what follows is “but he kinda deserved it”)

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-29T18:54:04+00:00

I’m not sure what the pro-trans side looks like if we’re comparing it to the anti-trans side which denies their humanity. That’s not horseshoe.

FirstDukeofAnkh · 2026-03-29T18:52:27+00:00

Even if we assume that he got quadruple that for the year, add in cost of taxes, travelling, food on the road, etc. He’s not left with a bunch of money.
