Perfect answer: make gun owners have a license (that requires a yearly renewal/background check) and insurance on the gun. Helps pay for victim's injuries and allows a friend to check for those two things before lending. Easy.

Um...we need an update on the older gentleman that Officer Torgalski brutally pushed into the ground and left bleeding. Is the gentleman okay?
A small thread of weird statistic on games Joel Embiid has played in this season.
Joel Embiid has currently missed 11 of his team’s 44 games. That’s concerning on its own but what’s more interesting is the games he doesn’t play in.

Why are you calling Senator Warren, Prof. Warren? I usually give you the benefit of the doubt, but this seems like a diminutive term. I mean should we be calling you Former GOP Presidential Nominee Romney? Come on. Do better.

Hi Blair,
I came across your LinkedIn profile and your J.D. with your experience as a Legislative Research Fellow and your 10 years of teaching makes me feel that you would be a great fit on our team of car care specialists.

@Kaepernick7
Not completely. What it means is the burden of proof shifts. As of right now, if no other evidence is submitted, Kaepernick wins. Now the NFL has to present their case and explain. Redt assured though, this is a good thing. Means Kaep has a legit case and had sufficient evidence.
Here are the games he’s missed:
@ Min
@ NOP
@ Bos
@ MIA
@ ORL
@ HOU
@ CHI
Utah
@ ATL
SAC
@ DEN
Of the 11 he missed, 9 are on the road and all but two of them are teams that are currently in the playoffs (not ATL or Houston, although they were in at the time they played).
/2
In a nutshell if the opponent is on the road and has an above .500 winning percentage, Joel Embiid is 5 times more likely to sit that game due to injury than if the team had a losing record. /7
Of the 33 games Embiid HAS played,
only 15 of them are against playoff teams.
Meaning he has missed 9 of the 24 games his team played against playoff teams and only missed 2 of the 20 against non-playoff teams. Over 2/3 of his games played have been against non-playoff teams.

I love how it basically is “we don’t care if he’s a hypocrite and does the bad things we hate, he has an R by his name.” You have zero morals. It’s personality cult all the way down.
I have not done the research of other seasons outside of this one, but if these trends hold true for other seasons (which anecdotally they seem to) it would explain why Embiid has such a drastic drop off from regular season to post-season statistically.

Joel Embiid is a fantastic player but one wonders what his averages would look like if he didn’t sit 2/3 of his team’s games against playoff opponents. /fin
@JackKingston
Yes, this is true. ONE wonders. But only ONE. And that ONE would be you. Everyone else remembers the economic recession and also understands regular life struggles. Let's hope the only ONE figures it out.
More in depth, here’s combined winning % of the teams Embiid has played against so far:
At Home: 455-597 (.432 win%)
On the Road: 194-300 (.392 win%)
Overall: 649-897 (.420%)
Games he has missed:
At home: 49-41 (.544)
On the road: 219-127 (.633)
Overall: 268-168 (.590)

@MollyJongFast
Abe Fortas was the Nixon of the Supreme Court. He resigned before being impeached. We are hitting on almost all Nixon level things in this administration.
Considering the fact that in the league 2/3 of the teams are at least playoff/play-in teams it’s odd that he would play 2/3 of his games against the bottom third of the league.
More interesting is the amount of playoff caliber road games he is missing.

She was only a democrat because she couldn’t get elected in Hawaii as a Republican. Her dad ran an anti-LGBT pro-conversion therapy lobbying group that she was a part of. She’s always been ideologically Republican.
@DrewHanlen
@JoelEmbiid
Hey everyone, again, it’s important to remember that Drew is not an honest broker on this. Drew is Embiid’s trainer and has a financial interest in Embiid winning the MVP. I wish Drew would be honest about it too.

Uh, you can't sue over defamation on a quote that you actually said. One of the elements of defamation is that the reporting has to be untrue and the reporter must know that it is untrue or disregarded investigative norms to find out if it is true. Milo said it, so...

I mean, I guess you can't fault them for shooting their shot. But let's be real. I recently changed the light in my left blinker after two hours of youtube videos and then celebrated with some cheesecake, binge watching Stranger Things, and taking a nap.

Mine always feels like a browser with a thousand tabs open and I’m trying complete the tasks on the tabs and close them while pop ups keep popping up.
@Will79204463
Yes. They are. Because MvP is mostly a statistical argument. Your stats are gonna be higher if you play against the bad teams and avoid the tough ones. They are also naturally higher at home than on the road. Context on that matters.
@nycsouthpaw
Also important to note that in 1962 when Hatch went to law school, the average private law school tuition was $475 a year. Adjusted for inflation, that is a little less than $4000. I wish my tuition were that low and if it were I could definitely work as a janitor to pay it off.

I think we all would have preferred the South Korean approach. Or maybe the New Zealand approach. Or probably any other competent governmental approach. But, and I quote the COVID in Chief, "it is what it is."

LBJ of J. Edgar Hoover "It's probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in." Seems fitting.
@ClutchPointsApp
He didn’t get opportunities for post ups because he was an extremely inefficient post up player. He didn’t have any good post moves to go to. He also wasn’t remotely the facilitator Jokic is. This stuff is just silliness.
@JoshReynolds24
This has been a rough couple of years for you. But maybe the real MVPs are all the Most Valuable Philadelphians we’ve won along the way.

Here's some free legal advice, whoever you are. This Garrett fellow is a private citizens which kinda opens up doors to libel. I believe the thing your doing, under Gertz v Robert Welch, is called "thrusting" him into the vortex of a public controversy. Just stop.

Well, he did go Poland and felt it justified his white nationalism. I just figured that he had spent so much time in the basement that when he finally got out in the sun, his eyes took a while to adjust to day light and everything just looked white to him for a few weeks.
