    It's not a red herring for the community that has to live through the unnecessary harassment of being made a political punching bag. The ONLY reason this thread exists is because of dipshit politicians stoking the fears of their easily-angered (and, yes, bigoted) base. Yes, ostensibly, we all realize that we're just a bunch of assholes arguing pointlessly on the internet, and we can hold our own opinions that shouldn't be lumped into the extreme perspective. The problem is, on this issue, the extreme platform is the one creating the narrative and passing legislation, thus further endangering and isolating an already vulnerable community. It's like gun control. Most are in favor of reasonable laws, but then many of those same people go out and vote for politicians proudly and openly advertising that they'll make zero attempt whatsoever to find a compromise. So it's hard to care what your nuanced internet opinion is anymore.

    If only we could pinpoint what's different about this year. Alas, we can never know.

    This is the crux of the entire thing. The only reason we're talking about this is that a subset of politicians figured out they could use this to their advantage by convincing everyone that this is widespread and only going to get worse as liberals try to turn more of their kids trans, gay, and non-binary. And they're trying to "solve" it by bringing the weight of the government down on an already maligned and ostracized community. Super cool of them. I'm sure there are people arguing in principle and good faith that respectful changes need to be made in the name of fairness; however, the powerful voices on their "side" only care about keeping the outrage train going and seeking solutions for the people who compulsively start nodding whenever someone says, "there are only two genders!"

    It would be cool if I had any faith whatsoever that we, as a nation, learned some valuable lessons from COVID. What worked, what didn't, what to prioritize, how to convey the right message, what's sensible, where the government under and over reached, etc. That we'd be better prepared. But, no, another serious pandemic would legit destroy this country.

    Petition to retire the phrase "Trump is cooked" as it's lost any and all meaning.

    I was going to go with "Don't build them like they used to" but yours is better.

    And what's this grievance about? God damn it's hard to keep them all straight.

    CGI Rugrats? Is this going to be a horror movie?

    90%+ huh? You are so incredibly full of shit. We're never going to get anywhere close to that level of agreement on this in this country. I agree that there are uncomfortable issues with biological men competing in women's sports that need to be addressed in a respectful manner. But I also think that these athletes will continue to be a rarity, and the idea that it could become commonplace for men to transition just so they can dominate women's sports to be some extreme low-IQ, slippery-slope fear mongering. I have no idea what the correct answer is. I just know the correct answer isn't creating a culture war out of this thing that directly affects so few people, yet demonizes and isolates young people who are going through a whole lot as it is. But here we are.

    Man, I know Matt and Trey are absolutely swimming in money that they couldn't spend in a dozen lifetimes, but there has to be some regret with where the IP is now with all of the cross-streaming. Just have no idea--or desire to know, at this point--what's coming out when and where. I have access to all the platforms and occasionally see a new special or whatever and just have no interest in clicking anymore.

    Jesus fucking Christ, talk about pot meeting the fucking kettle. All 3 of you fucks (and a couple others) have made this thread completely unreadable.

    Got to give him credit: getting his favorability anywhere near even is a win for him. He did about as well as he possibly could given his general off-putting personality, who his boss is, and having to defend things they've said and done.

    Look, if you've got a better idea than employing Gerard Butler to save the planet, I'd love to hear it.

    It's almost like they realize that their audience is full of incel morons.

    I don't think I've ever been less sure whether something is fake or real. Gun to my head, I'm not even sure which way I'd lean.

    Which animal did Katy find to be most delicious?

    Angry Brady is the best Brady. Just decimated Baker's entire career. Basically, "Glad you're having fun, loser."

    21 million people have read that verbal diarrhea. Cool, cool.

    He is absolutely going to melt down when Trump loses the election, and I am here for it.

    I've done a few. Always been in good shape, but I'm far from a marathon/endurance athlete. For me, it wasn't any tougher than a 5k. The amount of obstacles/lines make it so you never have to run consistently for more than a mile or so. Pretty fun, definitely try all the obstacles. Challenging, but very doable. My only negative experience was the crawl in the water under the electrocuted fence obstacle. One of the wires got loose and dipped in the water, so the last 50 ft was unavoidable, nonstop electrocution, and the "safety observer" was too high to understand what everyone was yelling at him.

    2.6 million people read that moron's every passing thought. Jesus fucking Christ.

    Do you think Daniel Ricciardo is bitter about how it ended, or ultimately grateful that they gave him the opportunity to drive as long as they did? If the latter, everything else is just noise.
