Re: Doesn’t Matter Who Wins the K Race; We’re All the Same
Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on this win, and we’ve never had more people congratulating a winner, this is bigly (Bigly autocorrrects to bigot, hmmm) news. You ever wonder why Ty doesn’t report I had the biggest win ever? I’m looking at the board and there’s nothing saying I had the most, and I know I did, I saw them all out there congratulating me, you have to wonder how Ty can be so fake?

I was so much older than, I’m younger than that now.
Congrats to Hank Chinaski, he of the avatar with a good tan and a jaunty devil-may-care grin!
Apropos of nothing, as a just-after-the-move-to-Infirmation kinda guy, I would pay Less* $20 to write the True History of the Greedy (sniff) Associates.
Heck, $25. Sometimes you have to say “what the heck,” Joel.

Paigow, whom I’ve hugged, but never fucked, would object and point out that Less was likely too drunk.

The sores weren’t from falling and scraping your face? What else did you lie about?

Re: I was so much older than, I’m younger than that now.
Why must Katie Hill resign? There’s no suggestion even that she used a position of authority to force subordinates to sleep with her.
These are adults in their 20s. They can make choices. And having a consensual relationship with one’s boss and her husband is a choice. We do not assume coercion until proven otherwise. We assume a consensual relationship until proven otherwise.
(Insert every sneering comment Mencken offered about the remnant Puritan sensibilities in American society here.)

Apparently there's a "new" house ethics rule that strictly forbids relationships with staffers, although I haven't followed it closely enough to know if she actually had one. I thought she contested that point.
Otherwise, yeah, I don't know why she can't have whatever consensual relationships she wants, take whatever pics she wants and not expect that her ex could successfully attack her as he apparently has.
Hank's right about the tat, though. What's the deal with that?

Ahem.
Haven't spoken to Chef (or Ms. Chef) in a few years, but I assume we're good. Attended Plate's wedding, used to pal around NYC with Cornhole. Thurgreed is a friend. Penske and I worked together. Dated Multo. Married Catrin. Texted with SI yesterday and C2d 3 days ago.
Correct, Less should write the book.

Thanks for the Recommendation
Sapiens is highly entertaining.
“How many young college graduates have taken demanding jobs in high-powered firms, vowing that they will work hard to earn money that will enable them to retire and pursue their real interests when they are thirty-five? But by the time they reach that age, they have large mortgages, children to school, houses in the suburbs that necessitate at least two cars per family, and a sense that life is not worth living without really good wine and expensive holidays abroad. What are they supposed to do, go back to digging up roots? No, they double their efforts and keep slaving away.”
. . .
“Culture tends to argue that it forbids only that which is unnatural. But from a biological perspective, nothing is unnatural. Whatever is possible is by definition also natural. A truly unnatural behaviour, one that goes against the laws of nature, simply cannot exist, so it would need no prohibition.”
. . .
“The capitalist and consumerist ethics are two sides of the same coin, a merger of two commandments. The supreme commandment of the rich is ‘Invest!’ The supreme commandment of the rest of us is ‘Buy!’ The capitalist–consumerist ethic is revolutionary in another respect. Most previous ethical systems presented people with a pretty tough deal. They were promised paradise, but only if they cultivated compassion and tolerance, overcame craving and anger, and restrained their selfish interests. This was too tough for most. The history of ethics is a sad tale of wonderful ideals that nobody can live up to. Most Christians did not imitate Christ, most Buddhists failed to follow Buddha, and most Confucians would have caused Confucius a temper tantrum. In contrast, most people today successfully live up to the capitalist–consumerist ideal. The new ethic promises paradise on condition that the rich remain greedy and spend their time making more money and that the masses give free reign to their cravings and passions and buy more and more. This is the first religion in history whose followers actually do what they are asked to do. How though do we know that we'll really get paradise in return? We've seen it on television.”
