This is functionally a permanent suspension as I'm sure he'll refuse to take the sensitivity training which is part of the requirements for reinstatement.

USA Fencing's Grievance and Disciplinary Committee Hearing Panel has issued a decision regarding Ronald Wangner (member No. 100002523), a member of the Long Island Division. Effective Immediately Mr. Wangner is suspended from participation in any capacity in any event, program, activity, or competition sanctioned, sponsored by, or connected with USA Fencing for a period of two years. He is not eligible for attendance on the competition floor of any such activity during this period.

Oh no. Poor Mr. Wangner has been suspended by the "WOKE progressive liberals" at the USFA for being transphobic...

Literal lol: "You will see it again, dressed in athleisure"

Also would have been a perfect Cadsuane. Not so perfect as Elaida, but I suppose if we'd waited for Cadsuane we'd never have gotten to see her at all.

Ken, do you have any hypothesis on what kinds of charges they could possibly be contemplating here?

Right? Bizarre. The vast majority of people I know in the legal field are neurodivergent

I just stumbled across this as I was poking around Steam the other day and I threw it onto my wishlist

Prager certainly won't be distributing any books with a political message...

Consists of exactly one proposition, et cetera, et cetera.

(This should be read in my best Yul Brenner)

This is something you tell your diary or your therapist. You don't need to announce it to everyone else.

D.B. Cooper is always a good, low stakes starting point

Smells like victory. Now just to get an inaugural game in and find out just whose victory

For foil, eyeline around the hands/chest. Epee towards the feet.

The same map of Middle Earth nearly fills the tabletop, this time without any cars or miniatures. Lying atop it is a second map, approximately 50% smaller, aligned with the bottom right corner

Size comparison to the regular board.

Large map of Middle Earth, viewed south to north nearly covers a large brown table. Tight clusters of red and blue miniature soldiers lie dotted all around the map and along the left edge. Stacks of tarot sized cards with similar colors line the other edge of the board.

Did it.

This makes the bout markedly more difficult to follow by drawing your eye to where it shouldn't be. I hate it.

Yes, you meaninglessly said that. I'm sure congratulations are in order for meaninglessly doing so again...

If only there was some sort of contextual information which could tell us if he was expressing a value judgment...

Really? That's your argument? He was using "spending more money and time" in a positive sense here?
You're either disingenuous or have terrible reading comprehension.

I mean, I would absolutely interpret "you're repeatedly wasting both time and money" as a synonym for idiot. Foolish, dumb, whatever you want to call it, the implication is pretty clear.

I'll take false dichotomies for $400 please, Alex.

Again, I think you fail to grasp "low information." There are plenty of people who couldn't even tell you who the last president was, much less who was running for president.

Today 8:28 PM Without any prompting beyond "politician," do you know who Elizabeth Warren is? No.... Am I supposed to? What does she do?

See response from reliable Democratic voter friend. She’s a college educated white collar professional, even attended college in Boston since Warren has been a Senator. Still doesn’t know who she is because she doesn’t pay any significant attention to politics.

I *do* pay attention to politics and, gun to my head, as of five minutes ago I could not have told you what politician he made the stupid Pocahontas joke about.
I think you’re failing to grasp what “low information” means.

I presume that most of them have no idea who she is. MAGA is largely a low information voter movement, doubly so if you’re specifically concerned about limited education, blue collar workers. I don’t think they have any opinions on a senator from a different state

That’s not donated “from”, that’s donated “to.”

I suppose prepositions may be too Harvard.

Only people who want their boxers with maximum starch.

I’m disappointed in Warren lately for leaning into Platner so hard, but I don’t think she has a communication problem
