    I don't think that many people are against farm subsidies, but it is a little rich when those that benefit from such subsidies are also the loudest about screaming "SOCIALISM!" and "HANDOUTS" to others who receive money from the government.

    You forgot "Now is not the time to discuss politics" in that chart.

    @HeHateMe @BabaYaga @Immaculate Vibes and others who keep talking about hardening or reimaging schools - it is nonsensical. As @TXSG8R put it in another thread: A voluntary 1% increase in tax (as HeHateMe) suggested doesn't even begin to approach a solution. Anyone suggesting the solution is hardening schools is the equivalent of Michael Scott screaming "I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY". Either we do something about access to guns or we say killing kids is the price of freedom.

    Ah yes Libertarians. The party noted for things like <checks notes> background checks and gun control. Jesus, Gary Johnson was booed for supporting the need for driver's licenses at the Libertarian Presidential Debate. Again you are not happy about dead kids but you are ok with it. It is the price of doing business.

    @Vegas64 - you have posted excerpts from articles many times over the last couple of weeks without linking to the source. Can you please add a link when you do so? I am not in any way trying to imply you are selectively editing or misleading but it would be nice to read more of what any given article says.
  6. Serak The Preparer
    No shit. @Trey3216 - believe it or not you are not some great mystery. You can couch your classical liberal all you want but you have literally never made a post that is slanted in any way to be pro-democrat or anti-republican. Maybe you just don't vote. Frankly that would be ideal. Because you sure as shit aren't pulling any (D) levers.
  7. Serak The Preparer
    Nobody thinks you're happy about this. But you're ok with it.

    On your list of things not to like you left off: acts like an insecure petulant bitch a lot of the time and fled to super-team (that had just beat his team) rather than try to build someting. I'm not out to convince anyone not to like Durant. I don't hate him, I'm just ambivalent about him. But it's also silly not to acknowledge actual reasons people aren't Durant fans. And to be clear, none of this has to do with his actual talent, which is absurd.

    Yes, we should definitely take this action, really reinforce the message. It needs to be in front of everybody, no exception. Except, of course, the Daily Texan on this fucking website which you specifically have control of.

    It's also telling how much of a Cult of Personality he has by Struggle conflating Elon Musk with "the top EV company in the world". Elon Musk is not Tesla. People can like the battery / storage technologies that Tesla is driving (no pun intended) while also pointing out what a shitty person Elon Musk is.
  11. Serak The Preparer
    Just got the same one. Let's make it a thing.
  12. Serak The Preparer
    Ah so we should be more like <checks notes> India or China.

    Boston's been fortunate with injury luck this post-season. Not a knock on Boston, almost every champion has injury luck, but the Heat missing Lowry is bad for the Heat. Of course Middleton is the big one - I suspect the Bucks win that if they have Khris that series.

    Osteen certainly sucks but I don't get the impression that he is overtly political in his church. At least, no more than we are in my UU church where we work for <gasp> social and racial justice, assistance for undocumented students, climate change, etc. I wouldn't want churches taxes unless super blatantly political. Now the Tennessee dude? Yea, fuck him and his "church".

    You, Immaculate, Wulaw, BrothaHorn, Poe, Sack, Trey, Seed, etc., are never ever going to vote D for president regardless. You can collectively say you don't like Trump, and hell I even believe you. But your vote is lost, it isn't coming back. I think there's a lot more potential votes to get trying to help people that need help than trying to reach those who are already lost.

    Just saw it. Didn't hate it but definitely mediocre. Really threw me off right from the beginning when Strange was saying "What, there are multiverses and they're real? Tell me more!" Mother fucker, we just watched you in the latest Spiderman literally bring people in and out of multiverses.

    Yes, I only tangentially followed the Aduhelm process as was reported in news media but it sure seems like a complete shit show of a process. Do you have any idea about turnover at FDA? The question behind that is, is this something that is typically long-term staffers or more phased with presidential terms. I don't ask to say it's Biden's or Trump's fault but more to wonder if there is a way out of this or if this has been just a long downwards trend that is just becoming evident.

    "Guys, why won't you reasonably participate in my totally earnest conversation about getting boosters every 30 minutes?!?!" [/slorch] There's definitely a reasonable conversation about vaccine and booster efficacy to be had. but when you start conversations with stupid shit like you do, don't be surprised when you're not a part of that reasonable conversation.
  19. Serak The Preparer
    Yes surveying the Warriors, Mavericks, Celtics, and Heat I definitely see teams centered around tall people. Clearly the recipe for success in the NBA. If Smith is there at 3 I happily take him but I don't think he will be. I'm scared of Chet. The Rockets aren't good enough to turn down really good players and I think I've will be a really good player year 1.
  20. Serak The Preparer
    Don't think so. Banchero is the x factor. I would be thrilled if Ivey drops though.
  21. Serak The Preparer
    Smith or Ivey for me. Nothing sets back a rebuild like a whiff, ask the 76ers. I don't know that chet will whiff but I don't think his upside offsets the much larger chance of being a whiff.
  22. Serak The Preparer
    Me too. Sorry thought the joke was clear but misfired. I feel like I should know but also am not sure.
  23. Serak The Preparer
    Oh come on it's been posted like 3 or 4 times. Hell Wulaw himself has probably mentioned it every time he steps out of the sex tent. It's a well known fact at this point. It's... something like 3 I think? Maybe 4? Definitely better than 6.
  24. Serak The Preparer
    Fair enough. I suspect that the other was viewed as just a troll thread hence just deletion, no salvaging for an actual discussion. I don't think this was intentionally started as a troll thread but the OP was dumb and did an effective job of poisoning the well. But discussion is at least possible. Just my thoughts, obviously not a mod. Both @52-80 and whatever his name is (Hollywood colt something or other) were stupid in different ways.
  25. Serak The Preparer
    Did you read the thread before it was nuked? Last time I saw it was maybe 10-15 posts, with all but one or two being a variation of "this thread is stupid".
