  1. I find it a bit incredulous that one can seriously think, that while trying to shore up a VP pick, get a streamlined message out and god knows what else, that Beto's campaign from 2018 is at the forefront of anyone's mind at the upper echelons of the DNC
  2. Bernie Sanders was reportedly trying to strong-arm the Harris campaign prior to his endorsement. Small wonder his followers take their lead from him
  3. Almost everyone has some legitimate issue they can feel righteous about. Trying to hold everyone else hostage to your one issue isn't it. Declining to vote Democrat because of Israel is an exercise in spite, not principle
  4. this is a bit off topic, and likely not of much interest here, but in my corner of the world, you sometimes get these pleas for athletes that are eligible to compete for African nations vs European nations or the US, to stick with African side... and then you get shit like this, and it reminds you why some people rightly would rather do otherwise... .... this on the heels of this, from 4 years ago
  5. I think they will medal
  6. she really does get up there.
  7. this is nerve wracking
  8. Wining a medal for your country in 96 years has to be quite the feeling.
  9. we've got some really likeable athletes...
  10. she's fucking great
  11. thanks. forgot about that rule. it's infuriating.
  12. how do these performances translate to the individual medals?
  13. was Chiles' mount too difficult? so far from what I've seen, it definitely looked like the hardest attempt.
  14. gymnastics has to be one of the most ridiculous things to even try and critique as a couch-watcher. you can lie to yourself about your ability to play basketball or run or swim.... because you did it at the local YMCA way back when gymnastics, its just watch and shut-up, because to even try one of these is permanent disability for me.. 😅
  15. Beam is the hardest right?
  16. don't give GRRM ideas
  17. The distance/time aspect of the show can bug me sometimes. Something happens on Dragonstone, and the next clip is two people discussing it at King's Landing what seems like the next evening. Dude gets a dragon, and it looks like a 5 minute ride from there to King's Landing, ditto the chase. Who is marching where and why does it take so long anyways. I know there are maps of all these places with distances, but if you stick to just watching the show itself, it's not communicated very well. GOT did much better on this point.
  18. you talking about this guy? that would be an upgrade for him
  19. imagine what October is going to bring
  20. what's their policy? apart from the policy manifesto we are supposed to forget exists?
  21. 2 years ago, this sentence might as well could have been Spanish to me. If you've lived this life and speak this lingo, you take for granted how simple that setup seems, when it's not. You're taking for granted, at minimum, an understanding of stocks vs bonds, let's not talk of index vs active funds, mutual funds vs ETFs, the tax liabilities of brokerage account vs a retirement/advantaged account... before something like "VOO in tax advantaged accounts" reads as easy as it types.
  22. to be fair, it's not easy to understand. I remember being very pissed when I realized that if I just saved money the "straightforward" way, in a savings account, I would actually be losing over my lifetime. It feels like I'm being forced to play a game I really don't want to. A full 1/4 to 1/3 of my free time now is spent on becoming financially literate. probably another lie.
