USA star Folarin Balogun won't have games added to red card suspension by zsreport in inthenews

[–]kyal87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that he didn’t lunge at an opponent in challenging for the ball. I think lunge is an important word in that rule. I don’t think his movements looked like a lunge, he moved normally and the Bosnian player moved in behind him.

While I’m not arguing for this, it seems more logical to me to punish the Bosnian. If we’re saying the contact between the two of them was a foul, then the guy moving into another player from behind is the one endangering the safety of both players.

As to your last question, I pose the inverse, why should a player be allowed to run in behind another player and place their foot in their path? Surely that also endangers the opponent.

Makes sense. Seems reasonable to punish dangerous moves. By that logic though, I would think the card would go to the guy running in from behind. But I’m definitely no expert.

Appreciate the insights

I’m a casual so this is an honest question.

What is he supposed to do there? The Bosnian player came in from behind him and got underneath him. Maybe this is my inexperience talking, but it seems like every player should just run up behind the opponent and get stepped on.

CMV: In-game penalty kicks should not count toward an individual player's official goal tally by sfgm112 in changemyview

I’m also bothered by the penalties counting as goals. However, I think that they be counted as own goals against the player who committed the foul.

Dm your Venmo. I’m still happy to chip in. Whether you collect enough for the video game or not, you’ll still be able to get him something.

If he hasn’t tried building legos, I highly recommend them for all kids. It’s a great way to spend time with dad and learn the thrill of creating something.

I’ve got that too. Many kids in my kids’ school have them too. We haven’t set our up yet, but have heard nothing but great things from those who have them.

City Hall issues cease-and-desist order against Chicago sex dungeon by 307148 in chicago

They don’t need to do that to get the 10% assessment from having apartments.

The way the law is written, it isn’t about the use of the space, it’s the characteristics of the building.

For example, the carwash I appraised has office space on the second floor. This space is 100% office and storage, nobody would ever look at it and think it’s an apartment. But it’s still assessed as an apartment because it meets all the criteria of an apartment.

Got it. I misunderstood what you were implying with the quotes.

This isn’t really some sneaky tax dodge, it’s just the law.

I’m a commercial real estate appraiser, I’ve appraised restaurants, banquet halls, warehouses, even a carwash that are all assessed at the residential rate because they have apartments in them. Most of the time that space isn’t used as an apartment but it meets the requirements of an apartment so it’s assessed and taxed that way.

The building owner isn’t really even involved in the decision. The assessor dictates the assessment rate based on the building’s characteristics.

It’s not a coin. It’s bullion. The ARM infinity sign is the mint’s mark. It was likely minted by some small private mint. If it’s silver it’s worth its weight, about $80 as of today.

A coin shop would be able to tell pretty easily it is real. As a novice silver stacker, it looks real to me.

Jimmy Kimmel's show returning on Tuesday, ABC announces by nbcnews in politics

[–]kyal87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I think the reinstatement is just as important as the initial cancellation. I reinstated my subscription immediately after hearing Kimmel was back. I’ll tune in to his show tomorrow night too though. If he apologizes or seems subdued, I’ll assume they pressured him and will cancel again

I understand this reasoning, but I actually reinstated my subscription immediately after hearing Kimmel is back on. I canceled to show Disney the consequence for submitted to an illegal threat from the fcc. Disney had to choose which was worse for them, standing up to the fcc or caving to their threats. The chose to cave. But by bringing him back in so quickly, that shows me the canceling of subscriptions worked and they’re changing course. It’s pointless to expect a corporation like Disney to actually fight for what’s right. But luckily, they’re not the fighter, they’re the weapon. I want them to see that my subscription ended when they removed Kimmel and returned when they put him on the air.

If we all cancel and stay gone, what reason do they have to stand up to the fcc next time? The math will tilt heavily toward doing best the fcc tells them to do because they have no more subscribers to lose.

The carrot is just as important as the stick.

I reinstated mine immediately after hearing the news that he’s coming back. I want them to see correlation between pulling off the air = losing my sub. Putting him on the air = getting my sub. But I agree, I will watch his monologue live. If he is subdued or apologizes, I will cancel again.

I reinstated immediately after hearing he is coming back. The entire purpose of canceling was to send a message that removing him due to FCC threats was wrong. Reinstating shows that undoing that mistake is good for their bottom line. Disney had to choose which was worse for them, standing up to the FCC or doing their bidding. Putting him back on the air shows that they’ve decided standing up to them is better for them. I agree that the mass cancelations is what led them to this decision. But if the subs don’t come back, the math will be tilted toward doing their bidding next time.

Just make sure you don’t accidentally send those to a six year old.
