Hmm, maybe it only shows up on the mobile version? (I'm using a phone). Number 3 has the reparation and housing and number 4 has the sever with NYPD. Not sure who can be the "point group" per se in a campus protest, but seems like this one is the one often prominent in the news. Perhaps it would actually be helpful if all or most of the groups involved in the encampment or occupation issue a agreed upon list of demands. Not gonna imagine it's likely to cross that over to other universities. I have nothing to say against a student or anyone's right to protest lawfully. I also think civil disobedience is an option, though that's on less absolute moral footing. Interruption of other students' right to education is of course wrong, but I'm not sure if any of that really occurred or if that's just stirring the pot by certain members of the media. Occupation of university building just seems to be asking for trouble, but if they are okay with the consequences, I guess they will live with the aftermath. They shouldn't be shocked when they get slapped with consequences for breaking the law though. No one ever said anyone has a legal right to protest unlawfully, though perhaps the history books will be kinder to them than the law books. As for the election, whatever. Save democracy if they think it's worth saving. Not sure how much of a democratic process it is to protest, occupy and demand instead of voting. If the next occupation and protest is by a pro-Israeli group, then what? If they have so little faith in democracy to not bother to attempt change at the ballot box and so little respect for it that they cannot accept defeat if their chosen position loses in the election, I'm not sure what democracy there is left to save anyway.

https://cuapartheiddivest.org/demands Yeah.... pretty doubtful that Columbia is gonna cave to all their demands regardless of the escalation in protest. Ceasation of university expansion, reparation/housing for displaced residents, defund public safety and sever ties with NYPD? Seems like a pipe dream to me. Stick with the divesting in companies doing business with Israel (though the list seems overbroad when you include companies like Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft). Cutting all ties with any Israeli universities? Don't get the logic behind that one. Divesting in weapons manufacturers is probably a targeted message that likely would have won broad support.

http://How did McDonald’s become a new flash point in the Israel-Gaza war? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/10/21/mideast-mcdonalds-israel-arab-world/ https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68740617 Yeah, sounds like a bloodthirsty zionist who wanted to do whatever he could in helping the Israeli mitary wipe Gaza off the map. I know many attorneys who were personally vehemently opposed to the Afghanistan War but were happy to volunteer and take part in a program drafting free estate planning documents for soldiers being deployed overseas. It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to separate the policy and the soldiers being forced to carry out that policy. Beginning to think there's no shortage of ****ing idiots in the world 🙄

They want a global boycott on McDonald's because a franchisee handed out free food to soldiers?

Congress really needs to step up and set some regulatory boundaries from the get go. Most likely, it's gonna be up to the EU again to tell big techs to stay in bounds.

What is the likely cost of getting Aiyuk? Depending on the cost, couldn't we get him and frontload his contract to use up whatever unused cap space we have after rookie contracts to make him more affordable starting in year 2 of the contract?

I cannot emphasize enough how terrible an idea this is. To any voter with an ounce of sanity, this has to be straight up disqualifying regardless of party leaning. If anyone wants an example how insane it is to have political concerns meddle with the central bank, just go look at the Turkish Lira since Erdogan's stupidity.

I'm out of the loop on this. What's the issue with number 5?

And Peters is not responsible for any of that history

And Peters was the GM for none of those years. People can disagree with the pick but trotting out the team's history under Snyder as the reason is just terrifyingly bad logic

It's one thing to disagree with the decision (plenty have), but you are ascribing intent and incompetence to Peters that is wholly unsupported by any evidence (refuted in the case of Kingsbury connection). The notion that an up and coming GM with a long term view towards his own future in the league is going to torpedo his first stint as a GM by using the 2nd overall pick for a marketing juice instead picking who he thinks is the best pick is so beyond the realm of logic, it is in tinfoil hat territory.

So first it was to cater to Kingsbury and now it's a marketing move?

I'm curious, what constitutes disrespecting your opinion? If you have the right to disagree with other people's opinion, they have the right to disagree with you right?

With Daniel Jones throwing to him

Don't forget the Keim shade for reasons that passes understanding

Now I feel ignorant 😓

Wait, you're not supposed to rinse?

Damn, imagine the havoc Snyders could have created by Dan, Tanya, and their son starting a twitter war by each staking their claim on a QB prospect and arguing back and forth in public.

I think at least 3, most likely 4 will be considered a bust out of the top 5 QBs. There is rarely, if ever, a safe QB pick anyway. I'm not gonna fault the team for swinging for the fences. Hopefully it works out.

Pot and munches vs ME debate on ES. Tough decision

No guarantee it works here or anywhere either. It just the method with the best shot at a championship for a non destination city like DC imo.

They better do it every year till they get the franchise superstar. It's not their fault that Leonsis didn't hire them the year before Wemby sweepstakes and at least we're done with the all in for play-in nonsense.

Can they all just colonize Mars or something and duke it out over there?

I feel like the money options could be arguable depending on your current age, financial situation, and investment confidence (especially combined with no taxes), but no taxes and no sickness is a no brainer.

I doubt it's the most shorted stock. If nothing else, for there to be a lot of action on the option chain, there has to be healthy disagreement on the speculation dividing the masses on seller and buyer side of options. Currently, almost everyone transacting in puts are gambling over when and how drastically it goes down, not on direction of the price action. Add in the high potential of irrational price pump action by those who may view buying the stock as proxy support for Trump, the axium that market may stay irrational for longer than you can stay solvent has never been truer. People shouldn't short the stock (except maybe extremely far out leaps at extremely low premium, if such are available), not because anything about the company fundamentals would support any valuation above penny stock levels, but because there is a high likelihood that price action of this stock would have no connection whatsoever with the realities of the company.
