quote:I like how straightforward they all are in dating. No games and bullshite.
Never seen it but the speed dating clip is one of the funnier things I’ve seen in the last year. Dude asks one of the girls if she likes the outdoors and when she says no, he puts an X by her name right in front of her.
When they tell him he shouldn’t do that, he doesn’t understand the problem, she doesn’t like the outdoors so he’s out. All time video and wish more people could/would act like that

frick no. This is very wrong.
They might think they're doing heroin or oxy, which isn't much better, but fent is there because it's cheaper and stronger for the manufacturers and dealers. Vast majority of addicts do not want fent.
The majority of people who OD aren't college kids who did a bad line of blow that was laced with fentanyl. They are junkies who know every hit of whatever they are doing likely has fentanyl in it.

quote:I would bet the majority of people who OD on fentanyl knew they were doing fentanyl.
How many people overdosing on fentanyl are you assuming started out thinking "man I need to get some fentanyl tonight"?
Probably very, very few. Back in the day if you bought blow the worst that you might get is that it had too much baby laxative in it. Later on when Molly exploded you might get it watered down with some other bullshite. But nowadays everything has fentanyl...a guy could get offered a bump of blow at a party and drop dead. To look at that guy as some kind of degenerate loser just isn't fair, imo.

quote:The schools tried that, and the court said it was illegal.
I guess society is no longer allowed to have “take it or leave it” offers… who cares if it’s not what they want? They could just choose to not play college sports and someone else could fill that spot
quote:If that were true, the market would be bearing that out right now. But it’s not.
It’s a fair representation of their value because the pool of willing players in that age group at big universities is endless.
quote:Colleges are within their rights to shut it all down without a union. No one is forcing them to sponsor athletics.
Since there never has been a college players Union, they haven’t been able to band together and negotiate the benefits they think they want. If such a union was formed, colleges would be within their rights to shut it all down. In the real world thats what happens if a union gets too egregious

quote:Scholarships are the jelly of the month club to many athletes. Sure, they are "compensation," but not the compensation they want, and not a fair representation of their revenue-producing value (at least for many G4 FB and MBB players).
Maybe, but they got lied to that scholarships weren’t really compensation…
re: Situation: Runner on 3rd less than 2 outs
Posted by Gravitiger on 4/19/25 at 11:33 pm
According to SABR, in MLB, if there is a runner on third (and only on third) with one out, the team is expected to score at least one run 66% of the time.

So fighting every lawsuit brought against them while continuing to beat the decades old reasoning of amateurism was being proactive? Not mention knowing the fact they would eventually lose those cases in court.

Sounds like the student consented to the search. Seeing a cooler through the window is not a search.
I realize this is extremely hard to do as a teenager being called out of school and confronted by police, but he should have said no when asked to open his vehicle.
If he had said no, and they still opened the vehicle and searched, I don’t think that would meet reasonable suspicion/probable cause. But now I think they have a plausible consent claim that a friendly judge would consider.
