  1. I started suspecting something might be up when we moved to southeast Texas and got cable. I saw a match on TBS where the Freebirds were being cheered instead of booed. Then I realized the people in Atlanta are all just assholes
  2. Isn’t Putin’s compound in Sochi?
  3. What happened to the track guy WR who transferred from Texas?
  4. “Transitory due to tariffs” Does that mean when people quit buying shit the prices will go down?
  5. Did you pass 9th grade Biology? Do you know what a Punnett square is?
  6. @immamac is this GruHorn
  7. Where are you seeing evidence of this on surly?
  8. So I just saw one of the trailers and I hate to say it look horrible. Jr stuffing his face, farting, and needing a bathroom stat, OK
  9. If that place really has open gates, she’s going to “walk out” and never be seen or heard from again
  10. Yes thread got sidetracked by a troll. So much amazing content that never would have happened without CPB NPR: Car Talk This American Life I Built This All Things Considered Fresh Air Marketplace The Moth Radio Hour Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! PBS: Frontline Nova American Experience Washington Week Antiques Roadshow And of course without CPB the Ken Burns documentaries never get made; for all his flaws and the valid criticisms of his films, they are the richest, most in depth portraits of our country and its people that have ever been put in such an accessible format nothing like this going forward will be created and that is a shameful stain on our government and us for voting them in
  11. Is your argument that because they collect a lot from O&G, the federal government is collecting as much as they should collect from them? Because that’s a pretty fucking dumb argument.
  12. This is the most hilariously bad pick in the draft
  13. Checks out
  14. Much of these arguments seem to be focused on how you can still see the classics like Mr Rogers, Sesame Street, etc online or on cable services. While true, you aren’t going to get as much new quality content going forward. Most if not all npr and pbs shows that become nationwide hits start with a tiny budget on a local station and are able to grow into what they become. That is where CPB money was focused. I can’t imagine how many of these shows try and fail for every one that becomes a nationwide program (and many of those succeed and are cherished at the local level). All that is gone now. Just like with the brain drain that is coming due to the harassment of university faculty and the bullshit going on with visas; these true damage of these cuts won’t be felt for a decade. Also, it is not true that “zero” kids (and adults) require OTA public media to have access to these shows. It’s like last mile mail and package delivery. It is extremely difficult and the government is the most efficient of all the inefficient ways to accomplish it. Hell I get shit all the time from Amazon that starts out as an Amazon or UPS / FedEx on the app and winds up coming by USPS and I live smack in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the country
  15. Jones family will never get the benefit of the doubt with me. Of course the player is trying to maximize his salary and this will be his biggest chance to do so. If you are a middling team (and that’s being generous) and you have positioned yourself roster- and capwise such that you can’t sign your best player (a top player in the league) and field a competitive team around him, you deserve all the badness that comes your way. I hope Parsons sits or gets his trade. Fuck this team
  16. Fuck you, you went CR on post 8 If you really want to lower the budget, you would vote you fucking moron
  17. And yet you just keep voting for dumb motherfuckers that are doing nothing but increasing that debt every fucking time they get the power
  18. If you think Bill Buckley would consider Donald Trump “right”, you are dumber than I thought. And I already thought you’re really fucking stupid.
  19. Buckley would piss all over you and your orange god
  20. The new budget that was passed just gave the top 10 richest Americans on estimated $3 trillion over the next 10 years and not a peep from these fucksticks about it.
