  1. While I get the emotion of this argument, I'm not sure the politics of it are that straight forward. Republicans would WELCOME an aggressive anti-gun campaign from Democrats as it appears to be an important piece of glue holding their increasingly tenuous collective together, particularly with the otherwise socially liberal centrists. Rather, it's going to take a balance of power shift to occur and then a long chain of reactions after that to get to a point where effective gun measures can be put in place and held up at SCOTUS. To achieve that balance of power shift is probably going to rely on the effectiveness of *other* policy messages, likely democracy, equality, climate, healthcare and abortion. They're not going "along with it" but rather trying to find a prudent way to "attack" it.
  2. Almost certainly the case
  3. This fucking state
  4. Ah yes, the ol' one and a half billion dollar baby split.
  5. What the actual fuck? https://www.cnn.com/business/live-news/fox-news-dominion-trial-04-18-23/h_de2844f463a6d16f5e1f59a7f2d968b3
  6. Why is that? Seems parallel to the case, not dependent upon it.
  7. I am disappoint.
  8. Golf has an image problem, in that the image is mostly accurate.
  9. It's something I've encountered quite a bit as I typically play alone and get matched up with others. They always seem otherwise "normal" until one of them says something political and they all join in with the most asinine conspiracy beliefs. I'm disappointed in society every fucking time. I frequently get the impression that they slowly realize I'm not putting on my clan robe too and so they move on to something else.
  10. It’s definitely one of the reasons I’m on the sidelines for a bit. There does not appear to be an out for McCarthy and that dysfunction we all witnessed during his speakership fight will actually matter when it rears up during this one. My guess is several weeks of govt shutdown is coming before he puts a clean bill on the floor. He’ll probably then lose his speakership.
  11. Heard it all during a recent golf round too. They also falsely believe the entire marketing department was fired over it. One of them admitted buying something else in protest, only to then realize it was also an Anheuser-Busch company. I enjoyed that story more than the others, I suppose
  12. Imo, unless it’s a home game, never worry about hitting and running. It’s a bullshit “courtesy” that regs use guilt weak players into staying
  13. Why?
  14. If you haven’t bailed on his site yet, what the fuck are you waiting for? You’re just on Truth Social-lite at this point.
  15. Nice “can-touch-toes” humblebrag, asshole
  16. The power move is to make them stacks of $85
  17. This is why we can’t have nice things… https://www.axios.com/2023/04/10/fbi-warning-charging-stations-juice-jacking
  18. Look him up on YouTube if you enjoy that kind of content. Ive learned quite a bit from him.
  19. Jeff Nippard consulted on a new app, MacroFactor, but I haven’t tried it yet. He’s all about science based diet and bulking (body builder) so I would guess it covers exactly what you’re looking for.
  20. It’s been a rough few weeks for me, hunger wise. Sitting at 204 (from 265 in Aug) and 20lbs away from my goal, I’m going to switch to maintenance calories for two weeks as a diet break. Will still have 10 weeks following that to drop the final 20lbs, and I’m hoping this will give my body a bit of a boost from the reset. I’m keeping my exercise routine going so I don’t break from habit, so I’ll be eating 3-4K calories per day which is incredibly welcome right now! Doing well with protein targets now and also adding in 2x weekly dumbbell workouts to minimize further muscle loss. Once I hit my weight target, I plan on switching to a bulking regimen so this will be a good introduction for that.
  21. Dammit, Wally. I just put my 401ks at 25% S&P / 75% cash. Don’t put your jinxed shit next to mine
  22. Yes because that’s exactly the same as a billionaire buying Nazi artifacts for his personal collection..
  23. With your hand, I’m def betting river. That said, it’s never a bluff so he’ll have to think either nut flush or boat and will rarely call a big bet. $50 is prob max you can expect a call with. I’d def call a pot river bet from him. He has a lot of bluffs in his range, esp since you don’t have As, and a bluff here will pretty much always be pot. I think his $50 river bet is appropriate. He prob planned to bet fold
  24. So, one point for “visionary”, then? “Tesla workers shared sensitive images recorded by customer cars” https://www.reuters.com/technology/tesla-workers-shared-sensitive-images-recorded-by-customer-cars-2023-04-06/?utm_source=reddit.com
