A man in Utah got denied alcohol because he didn’t have ID.
Two bystanders tried to de-escalate.
He left the store.
He got in his car.
The whole thing could’ve been over.
Then he drove around the parking lot, grabbed a shotgun, and walked back inside.
That’s not heat of the moment.
That’s a decision.
And once you walk into a store full of people with a shotgun, nobody owes you the benefit of the doubt.
People are already saying:
“But he didn’t fire it.”
So what?
Are citizens supposed to wait for the first shot before they believe the threat?
Because the first shot is usually somebody’s body getting opened up.
Two armed bystanders stopped it.
So let’s be honest:
Did they do the right thing, or should they have waited?
Drop your answer below.
An MIT professor offered his class a coin flip: win $125 or lose $100. Most students said no. Then he proved refusing was the smart move, and it explains why you're bad with money.
The bet is a steal on paper. Flip a coin, win $125 or lose $100. Do the math and you come out $12.50 ahead on average. It's what economists call a more than fair bet. Most of the room still turned it down.
They weren't being dumb. They were being human.
Here's the idea underneath it. You don't actually care about dollars, you care about how much each dollar changes your life. And the dollars you already have are worth more to you than the ones you might win. So losing $100 stings harder than winning $125 feels good.
Then he pushed it further. He told the class he'd force them into that winning bet unless they paid to walk away. How much would they pay? The answer, with their standard math, was $43. People will hand over almost half their money to dodge a bet that's tilted in their favor.
That's not weakness. That's a law of how the mind values risk, and it has a name: risk aversion.
And it's the whole reason insurance exists. Being uninsured is just this coin flip in disguise. You quietly pay to never be the person who gets wiped out, even when the math says the odds are on your side.
Once you see it, you notice it everywhere. Every warranty, every premium, every bet you've refused. You weren't being irrational. You were pricing the fear.
🚨NEW: Stephen A. Smith: "Let me get this straight: If I'm a person in New York who wants to get anywhere from $19 to $30 an hour to shovel snow, I need 2 forms of ID. But Democrats are arguing on Capitol Hill, 'Why should you need ID to vote?' Make it make sense."

This will go down as the most heart wrenching clip of the year.
Johnny Gaudreau gets to look down from heaven and see his kids celebrate a gold medal w/ Team USA and his parents soak it in from the stands.
That hockey brotherhood is special 🙏🏼
Saw someone mention looking at this going into the bench - so here are the top 8 players for each team by minutes per game + their original D1 school.
For what it's worth - you could go 14 deep on Purdue and still just see Motion P's

His parents used to dread haircuts until they met Vernon Jackson, a local barber.
Best 30 sec. you'll see all day.
We found 100 stranded/abandoned dogs and spent over $1,000,000 to find them loving homes! This is one of my favorite videos so I hope you consider adopting a dog :)
