And unlike a cat you apparently have no night vision at all along with your dirty toilet?

I have asked people like this multiple times

Very clearly referring to me as the person... I guess you wanted to keep it a strawman instead of actually asking what I thought.

I mean, you could ask me instead of assume. I would respond I have no idea about that specifically because I don't like basketball and don't pay attention to it at all. However, I do watch the NHL and the PWHL. Do I think the worst NHL player is better than the best PWHL player? Yes. I don't even think the PWHL is at the AHL level of play. Just watching the speed of the plays, the structure of the plays, they're not close. The PWHL play is more like men's collegiate play. So, if you're asking me if I would rather draft someone at that play level that is in their prime playing at their peak, or someone that is playing at that level who is a young player with room to grow, it's an obvious choice.

Here's the other part of that. The PWHL is an incredibly young league only 2 years old and with only 6 teams. It takes time, generations even, to develop the interest and the infrastructure to support young women/girls in hockey (or anything). You don't wave a magic wand and suddenly have a vast pool of women that can play at that level. Do I think that league will mature and get younger women interested in playing more and fostering even better future talent? I really hope so, I would love to see it. At that point, will my answer change? It's very possible. Circling back to your WNBA question. The WNBA is a much more mature league, 28 years old with 15 teams. We're probably just now seeing the true "fruits of the labor" of that league. I'm just entirely unqualified to make that kind of judgment because I have zero interest in that sport. But even I know of Caitlin Clark, and that speaks volumes.

I didn't make any such claim. You did. Now you're back peddling, so I guess there wasn't any point to your previous comment?

If not, he will surely just be pardoned.

If it's up, you don't even need to touch it, just sit... Also, clean your toilet. Don't be proud of being a slob.

No, I don't think there is enough. That's the joke.

So you're saying that women just aren't brave enough?

Just be even lazier and sit down.

I've been under the impression that the top leagues NFL, MLB, NHL, etc.. aren't necessarily gendered, but women just can't compete. That's why they have women only leagues so they have a place they can compete. Am I wrong about this?

Sounds like we need trans leagues.

Edit: I thought it was obvious, but apparently it wasn't. This is not a serious comment.

Surviving until another more friendly politician comes around is certainly a much better option.

They re did that stunt at release. They changed it up to gingerly throwing a tennis ball instead.

I haven't made a single assumption about you. You keep parroting my words without taking that time to think about them. Maybe eventually you'll want better from your politicians and want them to actually win instead of blaming others for their failure.

It's not as though you didn't know trump would take this turn.

What turn? He's doing exactly what he said he would do. The things that are majority of people apparently wanted him to do. If only the DNC had ran a candidate a majority of people wanted...

Entertainment? Hell no I'm not entertained. You're making a lot of assumptions about me. I voted for Harris. I did my part. Harris and the DNC failed to do their part in earning enough votes. Simple as that. Unlike you and the delusional DNC, my head isn't in the sand and blaming the voters and expecting them to just fall in line. Take a step back for a minute, hell take nearly 4 years of you have to, and look at the situation. You might realize it will be easier to adapt to what voters want instead of trying to adapt the millions of voters to what you want. Stop digging in your heels and join the real world before it's too late.

Go ahead, keep blaming the voters and see if you ever win a vote that way. Or, you could realize that the entire job of the politician is to appeal to a voter and win their votes by adopting policy the voters want.

We (the US) have farmers markets in a lot of places. They can have very specific times that I always forget about. Around here in the northern climate, the farmer markets stop during the winter or move indoors and shift to selling more jarred and canned goods. My neighborhood has a coop, but it's more expensive than the grocery store and with a worse selection. We have options here, but they require more thoughtfulness.

I was just at Whole Foods, not the best barameter for price, every brand that wasn't the store brand was $10+ for a dozen. The store brand was $5.

Signal is the best option. The only downside being that it relies on your cell number. Otherwise it's the most secure platform/protocol.

The great tragedy was that he did it for 5 decades instead of retiring long, long ago.
