What Went Wrong With Young Men
Yes. So helping to change that mindset is part of it. If before, lifting weights 2X a week made you fit for success, and now you have to work harder and lift 4X a week to succeed, that can FEEL unfair. That's real. Shit, I've felt it plenty of times in my life, as I've advanced academically or professionally: the level of effort and knowledge that helped me succeed before is no longer enough to get the job done. So now I have to work harder and learn more. That's annoying. BUT, I realized early on "tough shit, Brisket, that's what it takes to advance." And I had educators and mentors who helped me realize and reach that conclusion. We are in the midst (or even at the tail-end) of a shift. It causes natural emotional reactions. How to manage those and focus them productively is in our greater collective interest. Again, these big-picture things shouldn't be that complicated to see and realize. Fixing them, well, that's a complex picture.

- Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
Probably already posted here but tipping point for me was at a conference last year and was at one of the side bars in either Aria or Cosmo and small group was just drinking Miller Lite bottles or similar and tab was what I would have expected for top shelf pre-dinner drinks at a nice restaurant. It was reimbursed so didn't impact me directly but that sticker shock for a low key happy hour tab soured me on non-Business trips to Vegas for foreseeable future. I don't mind excessive tabs for high end dinners etc. but nickle and diming at every angle, shitty odds everywhere, etc. just kind of ruins it. I'll be back this coming week for same conference so will see if my mind changes. And first stop will probably be waters and Gatorades for the room at the CVS purely on principle. I am excited about client dinners at Beauty and Essex, Yellowtail and Scarpetta- The Supremes
Well, yeah, there's that.- What Went Wrong With Young Men
To trot out one of my favorite lines, the 20th century in America was basically welfare for mediocre white dudes.- 2025 MLB thread
Not worthless, just some different hoops on how to access/link if you want to watch through on espn. (I’m not clear on if the old mlb.tv apps will still work. I assume so, but the whole thing being behind espn is confusing) T-Mobile customers who subscribe to MLB.TV must first activate their account with MLB, as instructed by T-Mobile. Then, as an active MLB.TV subscriber, you can link your MLB Account to your ESPN Account. You can then start watching MLB.TV on ESPN. Note that T-Mobile MLB.TV subscribers will not have access to MLB Network. For users who have MLB.TV from MLB who need to activate to watch on ESPN: Go to MLB Account Management (Click on the profile icon located at the top right of MLB.com pages) You will see an option to activate your MLB.TV subscription on ESPN From there, follow the steps to link your MLB account with your MyDisney Account Once linked, you can now access content across both ESPN and MLB apps- RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker
- The Trump Economy
Yeah I kinda think so. He was trying to "sequester" tariff revenues outside of the Treasury to claim it wasn't subject to congressional appropriation. But he's just dead wrong on that.- The movie you just watched
Reminder to everyone, if you want to see an unreal Qualley performance, check out Sanctuary on Hulu- What Went Wrong With Young Men
Men just have to give more of an effort in today's world than they did 60 years ago. I've mentioned here before how I know for a fact that I've gotten opportunities I wouldn't have otherwise if I wasn't a straight, white male. Back then you could literally walk out of school with a High School degree and fumble your way into a job that would support the nuclear family because, as mentioned numerous times, the only competition was other straight, white men. It shouldn't come as any shock at all that once people of all genders and races would have access to those same opportunities that the bar would be raised and you have to stand out more in your field. It's not "unfair" to white men, it's just no longer "unfair" to women and other ethnicities. This isn't rocket science, it's actually more of a meritocracy but these shallow minded men see things fair across the board as unfair to them. I have zero sympathy for guys with that mindset.- The Supremes
I always suspected you were an uneducated dumbass, but now I know. Dude, all the hot babes took Tariff Law, it was a must-sign-up class for anyone with any sense. Yeah, I'm judging you, and you don't look good here. Is Tariff Law scholars look down on you. Also, I regularly need spellcheck to correct my spelling of tariff, because 99% of my tariff knowledge is from high school and some casual economics reading over the past 30 years or so. But I bet the chicks in Tariff Law WERE hot. That kinda bookish, librarian-in-a-pencil-skirt look, sorta thing. Yep, that's what I'm betting.- Can we talk about Zuckerberg?

Mine has at least 5-6 bottles of water on her nightstand, all about 2/3 empty. At least she doesn't spill them.- 2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
So why put the damn thing up in the first place? Unless you aren't going to show the zone at the same time as the ball during the pitch all you are doing is calling to attention just how much the umpires fuck up the strike zone.- NHL 2025-2026 Season Thread
A very dumb penalty by Bennett gives Finland a PP goal. Is Bennett auditioning to join the Bruins? He’s fit in nicely in our penalty box.- The Trump Economy
The thing I’m most interested in is how the narcissist in chief will react now that SCOTUS has gutted his power to be king and unilaterally declare tariffs at his whim. Of course, his response will be loathsome and irrational and cause more problems.- Non-political tariffs thread
In order: Trump will announce new tariffs using a new bs legal theory. Lawsuits will ensue. Perhaps the issue will reach the Supreme Court faster the second time. The refunds due in the case just decided by USSC will be delayed and the subject of litigation over many years. I get that they are a cause for concern but Kavanaugh whining about the administration of refunds as a primary reason for his nonsense of a dissent is so on-brand. He's such an embarrassment to the country.- I am getting sick of Josh Pate
Can't stand Pate or his boring ass show. So many better options out there: Solid Verbal Cover3 Always College Football w/ Greg McElroy Andy and Ari The Audible Even Klatt's show is better. Pate is an arrogant, Aggy shill, and it's fairly obvious he's MAGA. Pretty bold move to put the orange man on his show.- Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?
I think both her and Talarico are ambitious and saw what they wanted to see from their own internal polling. - Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
