  1. What’s nuts to me is that this elderly people were ostensibly once upon a time savvy, responsible, clever, discerning people with good judgment. And now they are falling for the most idiotic and illogical scams. What does that say for us? One day our great great grandkids gonna be like “my old granddad vegasgeezer68 is 98 years old and giving the AI machine his life’s inheritance because they said you have to pay your taxes through the virtual reality IRS agent kiosk at the mall and now his quantum phone is charging HIM money and he’s scheduled for debt prison or execution next Tuesday. 6-7.” Thats probably about how an elderly person who was a 40 year old top dog in the 70’s hears technology today.
  2. Mainstream entertainment is finding out what professional bag chasers like Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton figured out 15 years ago: In one lowkey weekend in the Middle East hanging out with smelly old men or doing a quick 4 songs at a wedding or birthday party, you can get a nice 7-8 figure payday to bankroll your next 2-4 years in SoHo or West Hollywood while you try and find the next career move with your manager, the next brand business you want to build or the next lick to hit, whichever comes first. its just now with social media (clock the tea generation) there is no privacy and it gave up the game
  3. For sure. I’m sure we have comedy writers on this site that can whip up a decent script and if not, AI is plenty advanced.
  4. Went to Katz’ in East Village two weeks ago when I was in the City, now that’s a sandwich for lunch! Line was out the door at like 11:30am. 10x the Katz we used to frequent on 6th street at 3am
  5. Is the one on the drag dead? The waitress came up to us at lunch (Richardson, off 75 location) and told us to enjoy because they are closing down for good on Friday. Sheesh. I guess it will be another Indian food joint.
  6. Did a site search for this place. It seems the lion share of locations have shut down from their big market blitz of 20 years ago. I had one for lunch today for the first time in 10 years. Mustard blend still great. Still a good lunch. Not sure what there is to hate on.
  7. why did he stop posting and/or why did he unceremoniously change names?
  8. "once it passes his front bumper it's no longer his space"
  9. I won't back up. Their fault for overshooting the spot and assuming I'm going to understand they want to be an incovenience to everyone and take their time to do a two-point back-in. I will just take the spot and head in, most of the time and hopefully it learns them a lesson for the future. Before you say IATA, If they were to somehow try and signal their intetion that would be different and I would acquiese. I'm talking about drivers who pass a spot and then expect us to understand that "oh jk i was really wanting this spot just going to back in"
  10. serious question but how is this (screenshotted) any different than just paying for sex? like professional sex workers or escorts? Doesn't say anything about coersion, underage, illegal drugs, or anything really illegal (outside of obviously prostitution being illegal). He's an 80 year old kinky freak dog with cash to spend-- seems like a bunch of progressives who want to legalize and destigmatize sex work should be defending this. edit to add: "beyond the scope of woman's consent" i didn't pick up on the first read. Depending on what that means, yea, that's a bad person and clear no-no. Maybe not respecting the safe words?
  11. I read one about Africa but they called it Wakanda. Less a book and more pictures.
  12. In this vein, caught Ballerina (John Wick spin off) on a plane over the weekend. Pretty good and I'm a big JW fan so might be biased.
  13. I think Chappelle has been on a generational run the last 10 years-- more as a story telling thought leader and public intellectual who happens to be very funny than a traditional comedian, though. Not sure that I agree with this-- lots of Middle East locales have become very Western friendly and fun vacation spots. I've personally been to Muscat and Dubai multiple times and it largely feels no different than a (different kind of brown) browner Miami vacation. As the millennials gain more and more influence around the culture, KSA seems to be rotating more to the pro-Western comforts that one would think of when thinking of tourist destinations and as crude is careening towards $50, it's validating the thinking of those oil states as to why they are heavy tech and tourism investors of the last 10-15 years.
  14. This is the question. If they are allowed to come in and punch up, maybe it's a bit of that ping pong diplomacy mentioned above. If it's a state-washing put-on to legitimaize KSA in the eyes of the world, no thank you.
  15. Come on rangers-/ lose on purpose for the lulz
  16. https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/20250822168/target-is-getting-crushed-by-walmart-here-are-the-reasons-why And this is interesting: https://powercommerce.com/blogs/ecommerce-hub/targets-struggle-for-relevance-the-fall-of-a-retail-giant No doubt there is some impact from a boycott. But to act like the boycott is the reason when it's OVERWHELMINGLY, like 90%+ because of macroeconomics and shifting consumer behavior for retail in general, seems....less than honest?
  17. I get the pragmatic and strategic value in messaging it this way, but isn't 90% of the pain Target is facing due to to the economy and tariffs and inflation and changing consumer shopping behaviors as the world around us falls apart? Versus a boycott from moving lgbtq merch from the front to the back and that is not top of mind anymore and hasn't been for a while?
  18. @Derka will love this as Shane Gillis took a moral stand and said no "Pete Davidson’s dad died in 9/11 but even he’s cashing in those sweet Saudi cheques." That's.....that's rough.
  19. Me too. My son had Cal Ripken Jr.
  20. After Charlie Kirk died I went and searched out some videos to learn about him more as I'd only known really the name and the caricactures of his gum line and head from here. I saw this video which I saw was interesting-- mostly the Greek interpretation. I'm not posting this to say he's right (he could be BS'ing for al lI know because I don't know Greek) but it invites debate. The whole video is worth a watch but the timestamp for the Greek is at the 2:19 mark:
  21. Which is why I think when you read Acts and the Paulines, the early church is an interesting model compared to the "church" we see today. But what really is church anyways? I've always learned that the church isn't a building or a choir or a band or people who only think about God one day a week, but it's you and I. It's this thread and the conversations about faith-- the encouragement and worship that those who have given on here-- because where two or more are gathered...
  22. Which is why I think Reggie White had a good idea and was on a good path before he died to try and learn the original languages and read the original translations for himself. I mean, it's a crazy idea, but kinda cool if you are a multimillionaire and retired with nothing else better to do. At the very least the Greeks have an upperhand in they can read Greek transcripts and not the butchered NLT or NLV's of contemporary english.
  23. We are slacking:
  24. Was a lot more "down the middle" than I expected with some flowers to some unexpecteds (e.g. Ted Cruz, Erica Kirk, etc.). I thought it was really good.
