Mr. Chatywin et al.

Here goes nothing. Wish me luck.

It's just such a nonissue in my book.

Fucking hell, there are so few trans athletes at the lowest levels. It's not actually impacting sports. When the governor of Utah of all places can see that you should know something else is happening. Utah governor becomes latest to veto transgender sports ban - POLITICO

Just don't be married to it and don't rely on it to do things you'd otherwise do with a laptop. It's pretty freeing. I miss flip phones. Part of me really wants to go back to one. And fuck do I miss burners...

Whatever you basic bitch

Sigh, of course things had to go wrong the night before my flight. I've spent a few years not catching any breaks. FML.

Told ya'll there was a reason the Wolves overpaid for Gobert. They weren't willing to give up McDaniels. Dude's a monster 3 and D guy. 2-0 baby!

It's just a few interchangeable outfits. I'm not packing very much. The goddamn stuffed animals that are bribes for the kiddo took up a lot of space, but that part is done. Look, I get you Brits aren't allowed to have nice things anymore or fun in general, but this guy goes to a lot of resorts. Wrong. What kind of weirdo travels without their phone?

You don't make a checklist? I just hate forgetting a hat or swimsuit or whatever when I need one because I also pack the night before outside of the laptop bag. Having to buy something you already have is annoying.

Pretty much. I make a list of what goes in each bag then wash what needs to be cleaned. I'm traveling for two weeks with a carry on and a laptop bag. Space isn't that great, I need dress, casual and athletic clothes plus I am bringing a few gifts for her and the kiddo. Just trying to be efficient. She appreciates it and that's all that matters to me.

SS people tend to be shockingly nice. It's also disarming to see how jacked they all are in person. You don't typically notice that through a suit, but they all look like giant linebackers in my experience at least. I've also mentioned this before that I was goofing off with them one time when Biden was VP and their tone changed very quickly and all of the sudden he was standing just a few feet from me. Was kind of surreal. Just wish it had been Obama because I would have said something to him and eaten the discipline afterwards.

It's worth noting the protestors calling for divestment generally have been doing so for years with a clear understanding of the damage it would do to Israel.

See dating thread, you'll understand my distraction.

One more day. I've been so giddy since I started prepping to pack yesterday. She has the cheat code though. While I'm doing some practical shopping she's sent a few pics of some lingerie she's bought. That gremlin even modeled two for me. Fuck she looks good.

How could you not with those crazy older brothers? Last night was bonkers. Was on the phone with the GF planning our trip when the Knicks looked dead. Walked away to grab a few things to ask her what she wanted me to bring and nearly spit my beer when I saw the result after it happened. Then again we called late when the Lakers seemed to have it and then they fucking blew it too. Catching the highlights from both games was insane.

No, there are not many trans athletes in general and as you go up the levels the number is incredibly small. Have we forgotten that coed sports have been a thing for a long time? Letting a trans youth feel like they're a part of the group is so much more important than worrying about dudes pretending to be women so they can excel at sports. It's an old lazy trope.

Continue. Wilson to the donkeys lol. And so it begins.

Just don't let Chats turn you into the next Wolf of Wall Street. That's what @Jace, Extat is for.

In conservative land, yes.

Oh the pro-life crowd, those who want to cut funding for education, health services and pensions so that they can give more money to the rich and fund war efforts against black and brown people then campaign on racism, xenophobia, homophobia, etc. We live in the dumbest and cruelest timeline.

No, what's dishonest is making a giant fuss about something that affects a tiny number of kids while not really caring about issues that affect massive amounts of kids then claiming you care about kids. And doing so because you think stoking anger will help you politically (when fyi, the politicians probably don't actually care that much about trans kids). That's where the real bullshit is. Open your fucking eyes man.

Idk why they're playing him. Yes the East is weak, but he's so fragile. I would have shut him down for the season. It's hard to see the Sixers make a serious run. Embiid getting injured in a serious way seems more likely than them even making the Finals.

So that's a no on setting you up with my step-bro then? He said the base was around four hours from you. ETA: This is exactly why I love my two stepbrothers. They're honest. S and J went on a few dates when we were in HS and not much happened according to her. S and I were having a conversation, and her name came up. J and I didn't exactly want to let him know yet, but I'm also completely honest with him. He confirmed everything she said without me telling him what she had told me. When I told her we talked she seemed way more relieved than me. Four days

Was not expecting a 25 point win. Nice. That said: Boston, Sixers, Bucks?, Cavs Thunder, Nuggets, Suns, Mavs

If you're picking stretches of a show and not the show as a whole, Dexter has to make the A-Tier list. The second half of the series shouldn't take away from how great the first half was.
