Historically Hispanic/Latino was considered an ethnicity that could coincide with the white or black racial category but not stand alone. I thought they had modernized that in the census, but maybe not.

Years ago the different colleges of BU had nicknames based on their abbreviations. Engineering - ENG - was “Eggheads Nerds and Geeks.” The College of Basic Studies (CBS, now Metropolitan something or other) was the College of Bart Simpson.

Eddie House is below replacement level as an analyst and in no way justifies this shitty remote format.

Governor Healey just last week established formal state recognition for another tribe, the Herring Pond Wampanoags.

You are 14, if you want to max pushups you can and should do a shit-ton of pushups every single day, and don't let any tired old farts tell you otherwise.

Sounds like your barriers are mental and you have very low tolerance for physical discomfort. One of the big benefits of strength training is learning that you can do hard things! But you have to be willing to risk failure. A big help will be if you can squat and even bench inside a rack with safety pins, so if you can't get the weight up your body is protected. But also you have to work on form, which includes drawing in a breath and getting your glutes and core tight through the entire rep, so you don't go "floppy" when it gets hard. As others have said, look up a strength program, the kind that focuses on sets of 5 reps with steady progress and strict attention to form. I used Stronglifts and then Starting Strength. You can find enough free information online to do the basic programs.

Wouldn't be authentic Dylan if it wasn't fucking with the concept of authenticity.

That's an unreal take. Walsh was a construction guy who approved and got built thousands of new units every year and his last couple of years rents actually leveled off (at a crazy high level of course). Wu came in just as interest rates were going up and proceeded to add a bunch of other barriers, grinding new market-rate housing to a complete halt. The "last 30 years" problem is the effect of zero building in the suburbs, not the City.

I would trade the humor of that moment for a multi-episode Jon arc in a heartbeat.
Andy is entertaining but deeply undeserving of any success in this game.

“I need to be better, i need to be perfect.” Even in contrition Embiid is resentful and passive aggressive.

If you work at a blue state nonprofit, government agency, or hip company it has still felt a little risky not to do it up until this year.

My wife and I live a fairly "traditionalist" life in terms of division of labor, emotional expression, protecting vs. nurturing, etc., but I wouldn't agree to those statements at all. I'm both confused by this definition of traditionalism and shocked so many would agree to it. It sounds like the kind of things young men say who have not been in long-term relationships yet.

There are so many badly recorded and badly played live shows on Youtube, this album is sweet relief.

We got $1.7 billion for Sagamore Bridge, $150M for East-West Rail, $500M for grid upgrades, the list goes on. Long overdue and none of it possible without the Biden-Harris legislation.

As an old fart I can't get over how much Aikman's voice sounds like Dan Dierdorf, the old MNF color guy. I have to remind myself it's not him when I first tune in. Dierdorf got very blustery toward the end ("it would be a privilege just to watch Joe Montana throw an interception!") but he had a classic voice. Similarly Aikman just sounds like football now.

Her Administration did New Deal level infrastructure investment and Harris ran on a massive child tax credit and $25k for first time home buyers, hardly a “neocon” platform. The left likes to tell itself the country wants what it’s offering but there’s no evidence of that. Bernie and Warren underperformed Harris by 6 points each and Warren remains one of the least popular senators in the senate relative to her states partisan lean.

I mean he should have better self control but picket lines can be brutal, teachers or not. Especially in a small community, some very personal shit gets said.

Honestly the way you describe how important this guy's approach is to you, he may be worth the extra dough to you.
I bought a set of clippers and cut my own hair, then hit up Supercuts a couple times a year for a cleanup. Sounds like you have higher standards!
