  1. Sarcasm noted, but you could actually benefit from watching The Daily Show or Samantha Bee and you might not sound like such a gullible nincompoop who believes Fox-fed conspiracies like Joe BIden was wearing a wire or that he fired a prosecutor to not investigate his son. https://www.businessinsider.com/study-watching-fox-news-makes-you-less-informed-than-watching-no-news-at-all-2012-5 STUDY: Watching Only Fox News Makes You Less Informed Than Watching No News At All Media outlets such as Fox News and MSNBC have a negative impact on people’s current events knowledge while NPR and Sunday morning political talk shows are the most informative sources of news, according to Fairleigh Dickinson University’s newest PublicMind survey. Researchers asked 1,185 random nationwide respondents what news sources they had consumed in the past week and then asked them questions about events in the U.S. and abroad. On average, people correctly answered 1.6 of 5 questions about domestic affairs. Because the aim of the study was to isolate the effects of each type of news source, they then controlled for variables such as other news sources, partisanship, education and other demographic factors. They found that someone who watched only Fox News would be expected to answer 1.04 domestic questions correctly compared to 1.22 for those who watched no news at all. Those watching only "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" answered 1.42 questions correctly and people who only listened to NPR or only watched Sunday morning political talk shows answered 1.51 questions correctly.
  2. I'm truly glad everything turned out okay for y'all. It amazes me sometimes how difficult and dangerous human childbirth can be. The pain, the intense long labor, and all of the health risks. Then there are these asshole seahorses who just say "screw it" and shoot thousands of kids out of their blowhole in seconds. Nature is weird.
  3. Apparently I'm not a man of culture.
  4. I think one of my favorite highlights of the debate was when Donald Trump claimed that Biden will probably play golf a lot more than him if elected. How can anyone take Trump seriously?
  5. Only a few lizards I didn't see backing in and out of my driveway. I find them later flattened and feel bad.
  6. I'm loving how they classed that Frito Pie up with some parsley. I, too, am a man of culture.
  7. I'm ignorant on how this works, but if you get rid of the filibuster and pack the courts with, say, 13 justices, what's stopping Republicans from raising it to 25 justices the next time they're in power? That's the only thing that makes me hesitant.
  8. Trump yelling over Biden for an hour and a half and Chris Wallace being unable to control him.
  9. Why don't they have a fucking mute button for this buffoon when he keeps talking over Biden? His mic should be turned off every time it's not his turn.
  10. In summary, the following is being repeated all day on every opinion show and with every guest: "IF the New York Times' reporting is correct, and that's a BIG if, who cares? Why should he pay more in taxes than he legally has to? Don't forget he lowered your taxes for you!"
  11. That's pretty good. The only thing I knew about RICO is that's what was used to take down Boyd Crowder of Harlan, KY a few years back.
  12. Seeing a post with 9 likes, liking it, refreshing the page and seeing the banner on their post. Not sure why but I know if I see a post with 9 likes, I'm giving you the 10th even if you just posted the stupidest thing I've read in my life.
  13. I'mma let you finish, but DiGiorno has a stuffed crust and is the best freezer section pizza of all time.
  14. I've watched it twice at this point and feel like I understand it, but it's just a mediocre movie. I didn't have the audio problems a lot of people apparently had with this movie either. People are going to love it solely because it's by Nolan, but this is his worst movie, IMO. The pacing is awful. Everything feels rushed except for the action scenes. There are about two million plot holes. If this was the movie theaters were hoping to save them, God help them.
  15. Wyatt Earp managed to make a bunch of otherwise good actors seem terrible. Dennis Quaid is a great actor, but I can't imagine how he must have felt after seeing Tombstone knowing people would be comparing him to Kilmer months later. The story was also too broad covering everything from his childhood to old age whereas Tombstone focused only on the most interesting chapter of his life.
  16. This show is somewhat making me miss "You're the Worst."
  17. Coke Zero tastes far better than diet or regular coke.
  18. At least that sounds entertaining.
  19. I can't believe how many of you sound unable to handle a woman fucking a fish in order to save her balding roommate's hairline. Oh, spoiler alert!!
  20. He should try sucking a whole lot less. It may help with fundraising.
  21. Oddly I don't see a lot of Biden yard signs in my area, but I am seeing a shit ton of Jeff Whitfield signs. As many or more than Cason all over my normally super red suburbs. It's difficult to not notice even if you're not looking for it.
  22. Except unlike the Delorean movie, nobody will be talking about Tenet still 35 years later.
  23. I could agree with this if Rand had something resembling principles. We can disagree on the role of government if all are in good faith, but Rand Paul has proven to be a Trump sycophant in Libertarian's clothing. Can you or anyone defend him at this point? Can we all just admit that he sucks?
  24. Hard to disagree with anything mentioned already, but don't sleep on the great standup from the past decade. John Mulaney's "Kid Gorgeous" or "The Comeback Kid" Mike Birbiglia's "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" Bill Burr's "Let It Go" Tom Segura's "Completely Normal."
