As one of the great poets of our generation said, "they want feudalism for the world at large, and socialism for the ones in charge"

“Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives, but I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, reminds us to cherish every moment, because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived. After all, Number One, we're only mortal."
Holy shit, we're giving a visa to a non-white person?
Well, we were on bye this week.
Try being on the west coast. 6:30am football. A few years ago I drank a beer while walking to a bar at 5am.
First time I ever watched it, I kinda expected to be underwhelmed. One of those movies you hear about so much that it can't actually be that good, right?
Blew me away. Plot and pacing were very good, and the acting was one of the best performances I've ever seen.

Fuck!
You!
If you figure it out, please let me know.
I watch NFL and MLB, so those are the leagues I can speak on. If you're actively playing, you're insured. Doesn't really matter, though, since all the teams have their own medical staff, so there's no expense to insure against.
After you retire, depends on the league, depends on the union. MLB players union is crazy strong. If you play in one MLB game, you get medical insurance for life. You also get a pension of you play some small number of games (50ish?).
NFL players union is much weaker, relatively. If you play in 3 games per year, you get insurance for the following the years. After that, you're on your own.
I thought that most of the movie was somewhere between fine and fun, but that casino planet sequence was so unbearably bad that it soured the entire movie for me. I thought it was poorly-done, ham-handed social commentary awkwardly shoehorned into a strangely long sequence. And then at the end of it, they were in the exact same position they were at the beginning. It took a huge chunk of the second act, and it basically amounted to nothing.
Most ADHD medication (ritalin, etc) is basically just medical grade methamphetamine.
Well, if you don't consider immigrants to be people...
