Tough scene

One year the NCAA D1 Hockey Final was in my town and my buddy and i went down to scalp tickets.He wanted to bring his newly minted girlfriend so I brought the girl I had been dating. Stupid decision, i know.
We took separate paths around the arena to find tickets as we only need 2 together ea. I ran into a good friend of mine who also happened to be with his gf... (girls do love hockey though, so it does kinda make sense) but he was sick so he sold me his tickets. We meet back up with my buddy and he came up empty, so I sold the tickets to him so he could impress he gf, who cheated on him a couple of months later and tried to seduce me.

The game was amazing and apparently so were the tickets.
But he is my bro for life.

That is how much I love hockey.
I actually do love live hockey, college or professional, I just don’t follow the sport.

The prediction is that Sanders will lose support once he’s the nominee? What’s the logic behind that?

Among some, who are so anti mainstream, and success that seeing Bernie as favourite - forming concessions with members the democratic party, just may turn their support.

I wouldn't of thought so until I started seeing bernbots resentment not only towards the top 1 percent, but anyone with a successful career, higher income or even education

Like how Indy music fans rebel when their fav band goes mainstream

That is a bizarre theory obviously created, no doubt, by the same people who have pushed the whole “but his fans” reason for opposing him.

Considering his base is young angst and mid age high school educated or less, i see a segment of berniebots going that route.

I don’t. I don’t see people supporting Sanders right up until he gets the nomination and then stopping to support some lesser underdog edgelord just cuz its cooler and edgier brah. Not going to happen. Wishful thinking by Clinton supporters, but not realistic.

Tough question imo: Best Elton John song lyrics? Not saying it's the best, but I'm kind of partial to Levon, because it's kind of depressing and haunting and in contrast with the music, and it's also a bit dark in a way that is only hinted at. But most Elton John songs are not very good lyrically, and somehow still work really freaking well.

Youtube correctly identified Graceland as the correct song to auto-follow Levon for me. This is why I'm okay with big tech and their sneaky ways.

Elton John doesn't write any of his own stuff, he has a musical partner named Bernie Taupin write everything for him. As for best lyrics, I'll go with Your Song.

@PolishHeadlock2 is correct though, Billy Joel is better.

"I think you called me a liar on national TV," Warren can be heard saying.

"What?" Sanders responded.

"I think you called me a liar on national TV," she repeated.

"You know, let's not do it right now. If you want to have that discussion, we'll have that discussion," Sanders said, to which Warren replied, "Anytime."

Still such a rolling over by him.

"Yes. I called you a liar. You lied about what I said. That makes you a liar" - would have been a more appropriate response.

He yells and throws his arms around a lot on stage, but there's really not much fight in him.

They will be sorely, sorely, (anally) sorely disappointed and disillusioned by his presidency, because he will have to stand up and say (CORRECTLY) that compromises where they didn't want compromises are still a victory. In this respect I think it's a little different from Trump, who actually seems to have successfully dropped enough teet to offer latch to every foul mouth, so the disappointing milk sweetened by white nationalism still satisfies their cravings, with the exception of the craziest of them, personified here by people like Happy Man, who is merely half-satisfied by the Trump tit these days. Bernie's teets on the other hand will fire dry.

I know he didn't write his own stuff. Your Song is an example of his songs being super clunky and silly but somehow still working perfectly imo. I would just say from the lyrics that it's objectively bad poetry apart from the chorus, which is strong. But when sung to the arrangement, great. Weird!

Did you recently change your diploma stream from IT to poetry or English literature? You've been wording posts like an out of work writer lately

I changed my income stream from GI Bill to paycheck. Will have to go back to finish up (and I washed out of IT, can't code very well), but no I've just always been somebody who should find a way to write for a living but never makes it happen.

Dude I will help with your coding. We fucking need IT guys, badly

Thanks and others have offered their help, I really hate it though.

When I was working on a poker bot, I enjoyed myself quite a bit by planning how to randomize and adjust its play. But when it came down to the technical stuff, putting my ideas into syntax and relational tables, and making all the pieces talk to each other, I turned into a miserable retard. I just don't have what it takes to code, and you have to code to do anything interesting. I cannot emphasize strongly enough my dislike for the process of coding.

And that came as a huge surprise to me, because I expected to really like it.

John writes the music and Taupin writes the lyrics, mostly (Tim Rice has written lyrics for him, too).

Yeah, if you have a hate for it, you can't really avoid it. Life would be pretty shitty for you

The way I do it in my department is at the start of the year I have them fill out a form with their strengths, weaknesses, and goals for the upcoming year. Then before I give them their final review I go over the form they filled out with them and we see whether they accomplished their goals, worked on their weaknesses, and if they didn’t reach their goals over why or why maybe their goals changed over time or whatever. So they do get to take stock of themselves as well as plead their case to me before I make my final review.

I could use your cortex for something like this. I have a ledger of goals for my guest, but don't worry I won't DM you about this. I will see you at your work when the time comes...

To be fair, I did a couple of contract projects in web design that involved a lot of coding so I did manage to get some real experience to know for sure. Didn't just give up on it without a fight. Bah. Cheers though, I respect people who can do that.
