The timeline is what kills me. Falconing went long, but not long enough to cancel the Peter Lugers resy. Peter lugers went long, not enough time to go home before going to airport, but enough time to get from dumbo to central park, stage a bear death with no one noticing and still get back to airport (jfk/lga?)
And i’m friends with rfkjr and i figure, who’s the friend i have that can best get rid of my unneeded bike, him!
The reason this story doesn’t make sense is probably that it’s mostly fabricated. I absolutely believe that he’s insane enough to dump a bear in central park, but the rest of just sounds like embellishment
Sadly, the latest episode of Last Week Tonight, which focuses on RFK Jr, was recorded (or at least the script finalized) before the bear story went viral.
(I haven’t seen the YouTube version of the episode go up yet.)
In college I had some friends who liked to break into the pool at night to go skinny dipping.
One day, they came up with a plan (?!) of building a scarecrow body, to toss into the pool to freak out whoever has to clean it every morning.
They did not drink or do any drugs. They just liked to do weird / surprising / edgy things, and were led by a feynman-like cult of personality who could usually make those things happen.
And I might have understood the bear incident if RFK Jr was a college student at the time. However this incident happened when he was supposedly a mature adult.
When did THAT happen? Sometime in the last couple of days?
Oh wait… You said mature, as in physically, not as in mature responsible adult. NVM.
as I like to say, you can only be young for so long, you can be immature forever
I do kind of think that “maturing” past 25 is largely put on. Older men act mature because they have less opportunity to do otherwise.
No. I’ve known plenty of deeply immature old men.
Most mature men will take a chance now and again to do something stupid just for fun. But on things that matter they step up. Truly immature men either don’t know how or refuse to see the need.
I’m talking about just this aspect. Young men often receive praise (and forgiveness) for doing silly things like faking a fatal cycle-bear accident. Older folks usually do not, and are at risk of losing their jobs over it. Your family, friends, and bosses don’t find it funny, therefore it’s not worth doing.
Under developed prefrontal cortex?
Side bar…watching the large shift in polls surrounding the POTUS race.
As many here know, polling involves a certain amount of normalization. The pollsters call it weighting. Trying to make their sample better align with the likely voters. That term likely is a bit squishy, I think.
So when the excitement level has a dramatic shift, like now, it could be a reflection on opening up that weight. Just more voters period, all drawn from the previously unlikely set.
Just wondering how y’all think about this.
Usually you can look at the cross tabs from the main website. I’d be curious to see the shifts in the “registered voters” numbers from Biden to Harris vs Trump. That would remove the turnout factor from the equation.
Though the main poll result just like the election is very much about that turnout, so adding that enthusiasm to the bottom line wouldn’t likely be incorrect. Estimating it correctly is the hard part- especially with the enthusiasm so high right now, who knows how it will sustain over 90 days.
Meanwhile, there is a real crisis:
Uhg. I find these dumb thread derails unbearable.
just a paws from the main topic
GA is trying to make it easy for 1 county official to gum up the works in certifying the election. Georgia has a lot of counties.
Its a play by play on twitter from someone witnessing this nonsense. The rules of the November election are changing at this late date, and I guarantee there will be lawyers.
Trump yesterday did an interview with Adin Ross, whose preferred claim to fame is literally being a butt sniffer (he regularly has videos in which he sniffs the butts or chairs of people that he finds attractive and / or admirable). His less desirable claims to fame are having somehow been banned from Twitch 8 times for things like watching PornHub on his non-age restricted feed, using the f-slur to refer to gay people, and displaying unfiltered racist rants. And he also hangs out with white nationalists like Nick Fuentes. Trump is saying that the interview was set up by Barron and that Ross is Baron’s friend.
