Lack of successful alternatives? It's easy to find flaws with capitalism but every other system has its share of problems too.

I remember my entire life up before this Haitian thing, Republicans would always say "we like legal immigrants, we want fewer illegal immigrants." Even though they would actively try to reduce the number of new legal immigrants too. Now they're full on supporting deporting the legal immigrants too.

You'd think that would be alarming for anyone whose parents weren't born here, but it barely seems to register.

The Drew Carrey Show just finally got a streaming release a couple months ago. On Plex. All 9 seasons now.

Yes. I once saw an episode of Maury where a man found out he wasn't the genetic father of his 1 year old daughter, and he started crying and then punching the floor. Is that toxic masculinity or is that a person being sad?

The solution we're using instead of course, instead of all that environment crap you suggested, is running huge crypto farms only during the hours when the energy is in surplus.

I've seen this reposted at least 3 times now, and it bothers me each time because we have no idea the story behind it. We only know what's written down, we don't even know if the person who wrote the caption witnessed the event. Was it fragile masculinity? Perhaps?

That was the joke.

Aren't the majority of English speakers from the US?

EDIT: The USA has 3x the population of the UK and Australia combined and the USA appears to be the home of approx 60% of native English speakers. However there are billions of speakers if you include it as a 2nd language. Which Americans don't speak 2nd languages so we obviously don't count that.

Yeah. I usually keep 2 defenses.

There are maybe 20 startable QBs in a week, 5-10 startable TE's, and potentially 15 startable defenses. Tight Ends are top heavy (seems to have to do with which QB's like to throw to TE's more than anything). the defenses are match up dependent and heavily fueled by home advantage. So it makes sense to start a different defense almost every week. Where QB's tend to perform about as well as the offense as a whole. There is usually at least a pretty good QB option available on the waivers whenever. Even moreso than defenses.

I don't keep a backup TE or QB. My logic is they're easy to replace. Normally I'd just drop my TE like I'd drop my QB. In my league where I drafted Kyle Pitts I'm dropping him, but Goedert has been great this year among otherwise weak TE play so I'm afraid to lose him.

But the longer I look at my problem, I just need to figure out which of the 3 defenses is the worst. Probably Jets. If someone disagrees let me know.

Jets play @Vikings and home against the Bills in the next 2 weeks. They're definitely must-bench for those two weeks. But then it's @Steelers and @Patriots which both look like favorable match ups. Although 3/4 being road games probably makes my decision for me. I might be lucky enough to drop them for Colby Parkinson and then pick them up again next week.

 

Lowest rostered percent is Jauan Jennings. Having 3 defenses is a lot, so I assume probably drop a defense, but which? Browns have been disappointing and so have the Jets. Jets might be the best option to drop?

I'm going to pick up Colby Parkinson for just 1 week while Goedert is on a bye. Can't help but feel that the 5-12 points he's going to contribute won't even be worth the trouble.

Rocky? Rocky 2-4? Slap Shot (1977) is fantastic.

For basketball I'd say Hoosiers (1986) is good. For American Football? Jerry Maguire (1996).

What are the best soccer, cricket, or racing movies?

Solid looking card from Venezuela. Headlined by Albert Ramirez (18-0) vs. Adam Deines (23-2-1) for the WBA International Light Heavyweight Title.

 

Americantall.com is where I've been buying from recently. Do you have another option? ' I'm 6'4" and 200 pounds. A typical large is too short. XL and XXL is wider and not longer. I need a place to order a Large X-Long.
