  1. A lot safer work than defending elementary schools that’s for sure.
  2. Shouldn’t the cap be tied to our overall budget? (Maybe it is, IDK to be totally honest) But once you’ve got say 1/2 of the states project two year budget (so essentially the amount to cover 1 whole year’s budget), you have to do 2 things: 1.) 2/3 Use it for education 2.) 1/3 Put it in the water infrastructure fund Any interest earned off of the rainy day fund over that amount must be used for: 3.) Property tax relief or a refund to every citizen. Edit- I googled it and the rainy day fund is capped at 10% of the last biannual budget. So I still think my plan is workable no?
  3. Does it have anything to do with Jazz cigarettes
  4. You mean to tell me that Coke has been lying to us all these years?!
  5. Theres nothing soft about the any bigotry displayed by this administration
  6. We’re not getting out if this hell so easy
  7. What does she look like? I mean, if your marriage is annulled your surly brethren will be here to console her. We just need to know what she looks like …… to you know…. Be able to pick her out of a crowd.
  8. We also need another left handed hitter. Signing Bergman to a 6 year deal when he’s already had dropping production and a shoulder injury is not the answer.
  9. Doesn’t Medicare have to cover kidney failure? Like European style socialized medicine level of no age or means requirements? Can you be MAGA AAANNDD partake in government run healthcare? Quite the paradox.
  10. Slinging anything sounds like a sure fire way for LMJ to injure his arm and Abreau can’t keep up with the heater so I hope you like cold brew.
  11. It was coupe which is more like a ‘deep’ plate in my opinion.
  12. I’m sure you’ll hear about this across all legacy media and esp. Fox News.
  13. John Winthrop? That’s retro.
  14. So the Native AmericanS weren’t Jewish? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Indian_theory (This was also a WTF moment for me when I first learned of the Mormon belief in this…. Serious wtf.)
  15. I’m here for the stories about citizen kids coming home to empty houses bc mami and papi were sent away. And for the inevitable raids on hospitals, schools, and churches. That’s when this shit gets turned up to 11. As much as I feel like a lot of Americans are beyond saving, it’ll likely be then that we can make the true determination if the shining city in a hill has been completely snuffed out by MAGA.
  16. This. They’re wayyyyyy behind
  17. Make America great again!
  18. Checkmate… https://www.vice.com/en/article/did-hans-neimann-cheat-at-chess-with-a-sex-toy-this-coder-is-attempting-to-find-out/
  19. This is the asymmetry of the GOP. A coalition of older, white Americans, corporations, billionaires, and religious zealots who want the government to allow them to break the rules for their gain : pay less in taxes than their share should be, allow them to discriminate, and plunder. The government doesn’t need to do anything other than get out of the way…… and police those who don’t like it. When people resist, it only goes to reinforce their positions. Protest? Police more. Try to provide services or govern effectively? That requires one to Raise taxes… which gets you voted out. Try to do anything good when in the majority? Well the GOP just needs to delay, distract, and play defense. The clock is on their side. Their platform is a self sustaining spiral that leads to more republican, tea party, MAGA results. You can’t get off the ride outside of a major cataclysmic event. 9/11, 2008, and Covid were major events. Not cataclysmic enough. But enough to speed up trends. However they didn’t cause any major changes to our government or the world order. Only destabilized it. Maybe like ww1 they primed the pump so to speak. No for these trends to fully stop, you need a Great Depression + WW level destabilization. Only then will this ride change. Lots of pain will ensue. Even more pain than we’ve seen. Sad to say. But if history is our guide, we are a little overdue.
  20. Fun game to watch. Bills fans channeling their 2008 Texas fandom sads when a Gideon-esque drop led to their title hopes being extinguished… (Not a perfect analog but that drop gave me fucking flashbacks)
  21. Him and Dr Oz. She’s like the engineers in the Alien universe.
