Left Fi

From the Inquirer:

"This question was hotly discussed during the past days as the nation marked the imposition of martial law by Ferdinand Marcos on Sept. 23, 1972 (not Sept. 21).

In many decisions, the Supreme Court answered this question with a clear and unqualified “Yes.” Let us recall some of them as signed by the different chief justices and justices during several presidential regimes.

Perhaps the most damning is Republic v. Sandiganbayan (July 15, 2003) penned by J (later CJ) Renato C. Corona, concurred in unanimously by CJ Davide, JJs Bellosillo, Panganiban, Ynares-Santiago, Austria-Martinez, Carpio Morales, Callejo, Azcuna, and Tinga; Puno and Vitug (“in the result”); Quisumbing and Sandoval-Gutierrez, on official leave; and Carpio, no part; issued during the presidency of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA).

In this milestone, the Court forfeited in favor of the Republic over $658 million (plus interests from Jan. 31, 2002) owned by Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos but hidden in front foundations and organizations.

Moreover, the Court also held that “$304,372.43… [was] the only known lawful income of the [Marcos couple from 1965 to 1985] since they did not file any Statement of Assets and Liabilities (SAL), as required by law, from which their net worth could be determined.”

This ruling on the lawful income of the Marcoses at about $304,000 only became crucial in subsequent cases which deemed as ill-gotten any cash, deposit, or asset owned by the couple in excess of such sum.

Yuchengco v. Sandiganbayan (Jan. 20, 2006) reconveyed to the Republic the 111,415 controlling shares in the Philippine Telecommunications Investment Corp., the biggest shareholder of PLDT. The verdict was penned by J Conchita Carpio Morales, concurred in by CJ Panganiban, JJs Austria-Martinez, Corona, Callejo, and Velasco (in the resolution denying the MR); Puno and Quisumbing, (in the result); Ynares-Santiago, Sandoval-Gutierrez, Nazario, and Garcia, dissented; Carpio, Azcuna, and Tinga, no part; issued also during the presidency of GMA.

The Court’s Second Division, in Marcos Jr. vs Republic (April 25, 2012), unanimously held that the assets, properties, and funds of Arelma S.A. in the sum “of USD 3,369,975 as of 1983, plus all interests and all other income that accrued thereon” were also deemed ill-gotten and forfeited in favor of the Republic. The decision was penned by J (later CJ) Sereno, concurred in by JJs Brion, Abad, Perez, and Reyes; issued during the presidency

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

We’ve finally made it: Launch day! While most of us will be busy playing the new Far Cry game, we know you’re excited to talk about it as well, and this thread is the place to do that.

Where in the game are you starting? Which companions do you like and why? Any favorite or least favorite weapons? Share your experiences as you adventure around on Yara; videos, screenshots or stories.

We’ll update this thread with official reviews as the embargos are lifted and they start rolling out. We will also link some top contribution posts from you guys, so give us some good content!

Just as a reminder, remember to mark any spoilers with a spoiler tag. If you see any unmarked spoilers, please message the mods.

Update: SERIOUSLY GUYS AND GALS - Keep the spoilers to an absolute minimum and if you REALLY need to post something, use spoiler tags everywhere. In the title, in the comment, everywhere. Already getting a bunch of reports of people spoiling Far Cry 6 and the game isn't even out for most of the world yet. Lets respect each other, please.

Trepidatiously

After my most recent re-watch of the 17th season of Survivor (a truly unique treat and one of my actual favorites, don't @ me), this is my best attempt at a tier list breaking down arguably the most...uh, "interesting" cast we have ever had in the game's history. Enjoy!

- - -

E Tier (Normal Uninteresting Human)

Kelly Czarnecki - It's possible we just didn't see enough of her to draw a good picture of how bizarre she is, but as seen in the season she doesn't stick out much and never got a real chance to fly her freak flag.

D Tier (Typical Survivor Cast Material)

Marcus Lehman - Your standard good-looking, charming Captain America QB from Kota. Nothing to complain about but not too strange either.

Jacquie Berg - Similar case to Marcus. Easy to look at, good in challenges, seemingly functional, and eliminated early to appease the Goofiness Gods of Gabon.

Paloma Soto-Castillo - Definitely think she had more potential, both for game performance and bizarreness, and I wish we could've seen more from her.

Charlie Herschel - Very fun guy to watch and listen to with an adorable fixation on Marcus. Easily the saddest loss of the dismantled main Kota alliance.

C Tier (A Bit of an Oddball)

Matty Whitmore - The "hero" of Fang in all three of its iterations, Matty was an audience-insert underdog who just could not catch a break. He easily could have shaken out to be a normal dude, but being continuously attached to one of the most cursed tribe names in Survivor history seemed to legitimately haunt him and turned him into a cackling, giddy goofball.

Susie Smith - I cannot believe Susie not only won multiple Immunity challenges in this season which clearly took place in Bizarro World, she was ONE VOTE AWAY from winning the entire thing. How hilarious would that have been?

Dan Kay (R.I.P.) - Don't want to be too disrespectful to the departed here. Dan really brought a unique brand of soft openness, self-examination, and vulnerability that would be right at home in a therapist's office. Meanwhile, on Survivor, it will get you a bunch of bizarre looks and Corinne ripping you a new one in confessionals.

Danny "GC" Brown - I won't begrudge GC's almost-quit; he made a convincing case that he had taken from the suffering what he could and was ready to move on with life. In any case, we may never again have someone on S

I know the actor's already been cast with S5 finished filming but thought of a few who would have been good for it.

Mark Consuelos who plays Hiram Lodge in Riverdale. Decent first season, 2nd too bits but lost it's way with some ridiculous storylines.

Lalo Salamanca in Better Call Saul

Jorge or Xavier Castillo in How to get Away with Murder.

All of them would seem like good fits for crime/mafia bosses.

Do your worst!

One of my favorite baseball what-ifs is Barry Bonds at the end of his career. Baseball has never seen anyone remotely like him, and he still certainly had a lot left in the tank in 2008, coming off of a .276/.480/.565/1.045 season in 2007, with 28 HR in just 340 AB (an 8.2% clip -- for reference, Vladimir Guerrero Jr had 48 in 604 AB this year, good for 7.9%).

This article that I've had bookmarked for a long time mentions 5 possible teams that could have most realistically used Barry, and looking at the rosters at that time, I agree (the White Sox were not about to bench Thome, Konerko, or Podsednik to make room for Bonds at LF or DH, the Brewers were very much set at corner OF with Braun/Hart, etc.). I thought it'd be fun to look at the 5 teams in a bit more depth than they do.

Los Angeles Angels
Record without Bonds: 100-62, lost 3-1 in ALDS to BOS
Bonds would replace: probably Juan Rivera, the DH at the time who hit .246/.282/.438/.720, although Bonds could give Garret Anderson (.293/.325/.433/.758) some days off too once in a while.
Lineup with Bonds:

Summary: This team was a powerhouse, bolstered by getting Mark Teixeira at the deadline, who proceeded to rake for a .358/.449/.632/1.081 line. Torii Hunter was making good on his new contract with a .278/.344/.466/.810 line and 21 HR and 19 SB. Chone Figgins had a down year but still had a solid .367 OBP and 34 SB. Anchored by K-Rod's 58 save season and a rotation in which Santana, Saunders, Lackey, and Weaver all had an ERA+ above 100, and great seasons from Jose Arredondo and Scot Shields out of the bullpen, this was a really well-rounded team. Anderson, Kendrick, and Aybar were the only weak links for the offense in the ALDS, which consisted of a 3-run loss, a 2-run loss, a 1-run loss, and an extra-innings 1-run win. The Angels were the #1 seed here so they still play Boston with Bonds. Lester and Papelbon were utterly dominant in this series, so I don't think Bonds really moves the needle in any meaningful way i

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Hey, everyone!

I participated as the Padres GM in a simulation of the baseball offseason where a few dozen baseball nerds from Reddit collect to play fake GMs, agents, and commissioners for a couple of months. Considering the lockout, I thought it might be fun to share what I did with the roster and generate some discussion while we wait out the long winter.

If you're just interested in seeing the final product, here is my sim spreadsheet that lists the final roster, projected lineups, depth chart, prospects, and all transactions.

The exercise mainly concerned building a 26-man roster within budget -- the Padres were assigned $212.5M. For convenience, we disregarded any uncertainty about a lockout eating into the season and we generally assumed there would be a DH. Realism is a basic premise of the sim but not the true goal, so please don't hate me too much lol.

This could end up pretty long (edit: it did), so strap in, head to the can, do whatever you need to do to settle in and get ready to absolutely eviscerate me.

Goals

• Re-home Eric Hosmer then solve 1B

• Add good bat to OF

• Find dependable SP innings

• Add impact RP talent (Figure out who's closing games)

Week 1

• Exercised club options on Pierce Johnson, Craig Stammen

• Declined club option on Keone Kela

• Bought out mutual option on Jake Marisnick ($500K)

• Mark Melancon declined his part of mutual option

• Non-tendered: Matt Strahm, Jose Castillo, Trey Wingenter

• Added to 40-man: MacKenzie Gore, Adrian Martinez, Steven Wilson

Week 2

Traded Eric Hosmer, Robert Hassell III to Cubs

Reasoning: For every reason possible, Hosmer needed to go. Hassell is a fantastic prospect and I like Haynes, but dumping Hosmer while getting two solid MLB arms back made sense and felt like good value.

Reflection: Ultimately, Kyle Hendricks was my biggest SP addition, which doesn't feel great, but we're holding over all of our important contributing starting pitchers from 2020 and his addition should make that group more dependable. His presence should also ease the load carried by a bullpen that suffered from SP volatility. Codi Heuer brings additional relief to that group as well. I love his combination of velocit

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!
