Corporation: "We made $4B but spent $3.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M."
Government: "Totally reasonable."

You: "I made $60K but spent $58K on survival."
Government: "You owe taxes on $60K."
You: "That's not—"
Government: "File by May 15."

EA bringing back a mode that was in NHL 14 with half of the features missing and making it the selling feature of the game just about says it all

Companies: “We can’t afford to give you a living wage, inflation is just too crazy right now.”

Also those same companies: Posting record $10 billion profits and doing multi-million dollar stock buybacks.

It’s not inflation anymore, it’s corporate extortion.

Vita Vea would be a perfect 3-4 NT on the #Bills defense. It almost makes too much sense, so I’m bracing myself for the inevitable “The Rams (or 49ers) have acquired Vita Vea” tweet followed by this from Brandon Beane:

“Yeah Jay, we definitely checked in on that but as you know, it takes two teams to make a trade. Listen, I want as many great football players on our team that I can get… I’d love to have five Vita Vea’s if I could. But when you’re paying your quarterback as much as we are, sometimes you have to make concessions to your roster. But look, Ed is back healthy and looking really good, we’re expecting Deone to take a big jump this year, DeWayne Carter really bulked up during his rehab process, and we really like how our 5th round pick, Zane Durant is progressing so far. So we’re very confident in the guys that we have in that room.”

The law should be: If the doctor is recommending it, it should be ILLEGAL for the insurance companies to deny it without appealing to a board of physicians. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND

Ok gamers got a question - AND BE HONEST
Would you quit your job, today, to play video games for a living for $70,000 per year.
Also - that’s the only income you can have.

Curious your thoughts.

I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.

would be thrilled if EA took two years off the NHL games and built a new one from the ground up bc it’s been the same exact graphics and gameplay for 15 years. it’s exhausting.

Bank: We need proof you can afford a $2,000/month mortgage.

Me: I’ve been paying $2,800/month in rent for years.

Bank: Doesn’t count.

Jarmo Kekäläinen Presser Notes 📝

🔹 They wanted to re-sign Bowen Byram, but it wasn't going to happen

🔹 Byram "didn't want to negotiate"; he was not going to extend with Buffalo

🔹 Has told teams that they will listen on the 4th overall pick and see what other teams value it as

🔹 Thinks Louis Crevier has a lot of upside

🔹 They're not close with Alex Tuch, it appears he is moving onto Free Agency; "He's going to be missed"

🔹 They will look for a sign and trade to recoup some value

🔹 They'll evaluate all options to replace Tuch, but likes the internal options of Östlund, Helenius, & Kulich to help fill that void

🔹 Looking at players like Benson & Doan to grow as leaders fill the Tuch leadership void

🔹 Currently working on replacing Byram: "It's a focus"; brings up draft ammo they now have; they've had some "productive talks" with teams

🔹 Traded up from 27th overall to 20th overall because how their draft list shaped up; felt they could draft a player from a certain group at 20 as opposed to 27

🔹 Have had "great, productive" talks with Zach Benson; confident they'll get something done soon

🔹 Michael Kesselring was a mutual departure; but feels that the Sabres would've been more patient with him than Kesselring's camp

🔹 Talks are ongoing with Beck Malenstyn; they would like to keep him

🔹 Thinks the goaltending was strong this year, it's a scrutinized position; they have a lot of faith in the group, and the trio is onboard with the rotation

🔹 Have had couple of agents tell him that players have taken Buffalo off of their no-trade lists; "The Buffalo Sabres are becoming a destination"

🔹 Always goes with best player available at the draft

If you took a shot everytime the Habs took a shot, you'd probably be able to drive home

My dad retired at 59

I will not

He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.

He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.

At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.

Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.

Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.

Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.

Just passed the potatoes.

Make it make sense

[Jonah Ahrens @TSR_Jonah]

IMO if the Sabres want to upgrade their forward group next season, they could use a...

- Top 6 Center
- Defensively Capable
- Playoff pedigree
- Good Contract
- Avoid trade protection
- Ideally wins some face-offs

Unironically, Ryan O'Reilly checks all of these boxes.

Crazy that 70-80 year olds are generally seen as unemployable due to physical and mental decline. But we're allowing them to run our entire country.
