Drink alcohol to stay warm.

The argument that the bubble is good because some people will become really rich while a lot of people suffer just seems genuinely stupid.

It would have no effect whatsoever. All of that learning stuff is forebrain function. It’s hard to acquire, and the first thing to go when under stress or intoxicated. People make all kinds of bad decisions when they know better. They splurge on vacations when they are already paying interest on credit card balances. They sleep with strangers while they want to keep a stable home life. They buy too much car or spend to much on clothes for little hits of feel good when they would be better off saving money.

Is this someone who doesn’t understand what happens on a golf course?

1965 clocking in. I want slippers and some soup.

The rules are silent on touching the stone. They are clear about not touching the handle. I don’t disagree with you, but the granite is not the handle.

Somebody saw the jackass movie.

Of course not. They have to get dressed to compete at their other sport at some point.

Best souvenir going. But also a lot of young people in peak physical condition. As someone I know commented “everyone is 10/10 from the neck down.”

The ol’ rank and yank.

The goal is to terrorize the democratic base. Everything else is a lie.
