I’m the worst professional skier I know
At least you are getting paid! At best I have to don the white cross pro-bono to get appreciated for my lack of steeze.Quote:

Half the numbers come up as "possible scam caller" in Google Fi. No, I don't use the Google call screener, it fucked me up on some medical calls, lost some important appointments, big hassle. I was about to take one of the SXM offers that came in the mail [online sign up of course, I'm not giving the scam callers any satisfaction.] However, this week has been brutal. Fuck them. They tipped me over the edge I don't even really like SXM that much. Now when they call I scream stop calling me and hang up. Unfortunately I need to answer the local seeming numbers that call. No real way I can avoid that.
I don’t give one single shit about Brittney Griner
you bring weed into Russia you’re gonna get arrested dumbfuck
You really think the time fit the crime? In my opinion she has suffered enough. Yeah, not a great decision on her part, but I'm glad she's coming home.Quote:

Not in America, but when you go to Russia (or ANY foreign country), you don't gamble on these things. The reason Griner especially deserved this bit of karmic justice is how she'd walk off the court before the US National Anthem would even begin playing, in protest. Gotta love how quickly one can change their tune on the issue. Just takes a bit of time chilling out in a cell in Russia to understand. Especially when one talks shit about the US and goes to work for the Russians.Quote:

Yeah. Russia was clearly looking for leverage against the US support of Ukraine and Griner got caught up in it. Anyone saying she “deserves” it either doesn’t understand the whole picture or has some implicit biases they should examine.
This is just dumb. In other words she deserved it because she wasn't patriotic? This discussion should start and end with whether or not she deserved to be sent to a gulag for the crime she allegedly committed.Quote:

It's the equivalent of a whiney teen yelling "I HATE YOU MOM!" as they slam the door and run off with their boyfriend, and then 5 minutes later the mom gets a call from the daughter in jail and in tears, begging and pleading to get bailed out.Quote:

They still love 'em.Quote:
