Hello there fellow DFO’er. Hope you’re well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain. There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.
I’ll be in Niagara Falls when this goes live, so let me know your partner’s name in the comments and I’ll tell them you said hi.
This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel [in bed].

Just please your partner.
As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.
Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.
Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

Good hustle with the employee separation process.

I wonder how hard they had to deliberate about getting rid of an employee that (not singlehandedly, but definitely driving the bus) cost the company almost a billion dollars.

We’ve a spate of cold weather going on here so I started a fire in the fireplace. Immediately our two dogs laid down in front of it and I thought, “How important it must be in their ancient dog brains to seek out a source of warmth”.

DR. MRS. DEADLY: Hey I bought this new drying rack for our water bottles.
RTD: [seeing an opportunity] Cool, cool. Hey, how about we get rid of this burned-out candle?
DR. MRS. DEADLY: No, I want to save that.

Qaaron is following in Farvrvre’s footsteps by going to Jets, so in another 10 years we can expect one of the shithole states to sue him for being even more of a horrible human being to their residents than the state government themselves are

So the esketamine treatments have been going very well. From what I gather, it is designed to wake up pathways and bridge gaps within my brain. I feel less anxious for the first time in years, and the ability to make worthwhile habits has returned.
Also, getting public funding for stadiums is dumb and your dumb stadiums all suck. MetLife Stadium is a staid, Brutalist cutout of crap.
I went to a Yankee game the other day on someone’s company suite tickets and the seats were fantastic. Easily the best perk was free water and peanuts, all the other shit was just noise (no I don’t want to download Uber Eats to get stuff delivered to me). They did some thing where you could scan a QR code and they would be able to transmit your phone’s camera on the big screen. I’d rather have my oscillating anus displayed in ultra HD. Every one of these stadiums is like going to a giant iPad, but I will say the lack of ads on main scoreboards is enjoyable. They also displayed the nerdy shit I enjoy (exit velo for hitters, horizonal/vertical break for pitchers) so it was an enjoyable experience overall. I just don’t care about all the things that make premium seats profitable.

I took off a layer of skin on my palm while removing old grout, so now I have the dilemma of whether or not I should bail on the project until it heals (like a week) or just soldier on through it. I guess I’ll try to keep working left-handed and see how that goes.

Just back from my monthly poker tournament. New guy got out to a big lead, then announced he had to get home because his wife didn’t know where he was, then started calling anything without looking at his cards. And he could. not. lose. Knocked me out (Q-10 suited, 3,000+ in chips with 600 big blinds), when his 6-4 hit, then knocked a bigger stack out when he didn’t look at his cards until after the river and turned over two pair.
He wasn’t acting maliciously, and pretty sure just super awkward, but oh my god I can’t think of a better way to never be invited back than playing like that and winning.
So, how about those Bruins?

Up early to get smacked around by the lovely Rebecca Lowe’s Crystal Palace. Although Moyes FINALLY sat Benrahma down for Fornals (seriously, watch Matip’s winner against us on Wednesday. Benrahma is the frosty haired guy that lets him run absolutely free in the box) so our attack might have a bit more fizz and pop than usual today.
I was driving Uber last night when the message came down from my son’s coach that today’s away soccer game (in freaking Richmond! GAH! That’s 2 hours away) has been cancelled.

My daughter gets home tonight from a wedding, (not hers), and I tell her I need to talk to her. With my hands clearly holding something behind my back I tell her “Your mother and I talked and we want to say that if you’re going to pursue this lifestyle (picture 22-year-old with horrified ‘what the fuck are you talking about’ look on her face HERE) we want you to understand that there are rules, important rules, that you need to follow, and that if you don’t study and understand those rules there will be serious consequences. So we got you this, you fucking nerd.”
Then I handed her the Dungeons & Dragons Player’s Handbook I bought her, since today was Independent Bookstore Day and she’s getting into D&D. I swear she thought I’d gone Born Again and was about to give her a Bible. Haven’t had that much fun since she went to see ‘It’ and Mrs. Horatio and I bought a red balloon and tied it to her bed.

Woooooo, my peeps! I have been dreading dealing with transferring my insurance stuff to the new mortgage company. I was sure it was going to be a clusterfuck of epic proportions, but guess what?

“Hey, we’re having a really hard time attracting and keeping talented teachers for our children. Maybe we should pay them a living wage so they can afford skyrocketing rent rates.”
“Naw, fuck that. Too expensive. What are you, a socialist?”
“Well, how about we build a bunch of tiny shacks behind the school and have them live there like they were a bunch of fucking slaves? It’d be cheap, we’d own and control the property (and – thereby – the teachers as well), and fever-brained parents can then easily find and threaten them if they teach anything Faux Noise says is bad.”
“Now you’re talking sense”
Phoenix CNN — Desperate to find educators amid a nationwide shortage, an Arizona school district is breaking ground on an unusual recruitment tool: tiny homes for teachers.
Chino Valley Unified School District is using federal money to build 10 studio units, each 400 square feet, on a vacant lot behind an elementary school, where teachers will pay roughly $550 per month”
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/01/us/arizona-tiny-homes-teachers/index.html?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark
I actually hope it will work out. At those sizes it’s probably only going to be appealing to very young teachers, which means that within a year that collection of units will be known as “Fuck Town” and there ain’t nothing wrong with that.

How DeSantis accidentally handed Disney a potent weapon against him
When the Walt Disney Co. went looking for evidence to feature in its new lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, its lawyers found much of what they needed in DeSantis’s own recently published memoir.
Buried in Disney’s complaint against DeSantis is something surprising. Numerous quotes taken from “The Courage to be Free” appear to support the company’s central allegation: that the Republican governor improperly wielded state power to punish Disney’s speech criticizing his policies, violating the First Amendment.
“DeSantis, you maleficent bastard! I read your book!!”
Excellent.
Update: The new guy finished 5th in the tournament, (didn’t cash though), and since he was referred to as ‘Ghost New Guy’ it seems he left early and finished 5th by being blinded out.
