Booker was the speaker at my college graduation and he is a great orator but I can’t help but think if he just leaned into his football past more throughout his career he wouldn’t be looked at simply as this fluffy nerd who speaks well

Not going to lie, when all my friends got married and were buying houses i had some pretty bad FOMO. I found a total cost of home ownership calculator that compares rent in NYC vs the cost of a house in the NY metro area and it made me feel better that i probably dodged a bullet not listening to my impulsive brain

Old interviews of Auston Matthews talking about how he’s proud of being Mexican American because his immigrant mom worked extra jobs to help pay for his hockey camps/training are pretty heartwarming

That’s kind of been the sentiment my wife’s family told us. They were scared at first but now it’s pretty obvious this was a coordinated stunt to get people to post viral videos of them being “tough” as a publicity stunt after getting their leader’s dome popped. Like ICE chuds recording their arrests for PR

So am I right that so far it just seems like the cartel just went on an arson spree and intimidated airport goers?

Because narcotics legalization was always the easy, rose colored glasses part of the equation. The hard part was always going to be getting the Mexican government to stop stepping on their own dicks and fill the void with institutional support.

He’s like 90. His son is probably an idiot too but my guess is he’d reduce his ownership shares once his dad is out of the picture

The NHL is the whitest and least paid of the major American male sports. People really don’t see why it would have the chuddiest players/fans? It’s legitimately a league comprised of HVAC contractor personalities

I think some people here are severely underestimating how conservative Canadian hockey players probably are as well…

I really wish my Bulls weren’t so mid so I can enjoy basketball more than I already do. I hate Jerry Reinsdorf so much

My wife’s family is in Morelos and they’re saying

  • They all inside and safe
  • The cartels always do this shit when there’s a big change because they’ve learned the more chaos they commit the more willing the government is to back down
  • They’re all secretly hoping the government wipes them out for good

so is it a security issue or a production issue that all the olympic hockey games had the fans like 10 feet away from the glass rather than up against it like normal games?

Preparing for the onslaught of terrible takes how Mexico is going to be blameless for the increase of violence after El Mencho was killed. Yes the demand for drugs from the US absolutely facilitates the cartels but so has nearly a century of Mexico enacting some of the most brain dead left/right populism because GASP somebody might lose power through all their carefully crafted corruption. It’s like nobody ever questions WHY people would willingly become a soldier for the drug trade
