  1. Them throwing up after discovering why the cat could speak was great.
  2. Amazon promised 25k jobs over 15 years, not right out of the gate you smooth brained. That's also their own wildly optimistic number
  3. That's fucking amazing, I'm sure every dipshit centrist and Republican in here that criticized her will come back to eat crow.
  4. Don't have time to respond to most of your post but I was just up in Chattanooga and there was free public fast wifi in lots of places I visited. I'm not suggesting that the internet is free in Chattanooga, that's different. And yes, to echo BT, this should be regarded as a utility and I do not give one single fuck about big telecom companies having to spend money to enhance their infrastructure. Everyone knows how much it sucks to get locked into a one or two year contract with Comcast and how many weird sneaky charges you get that you may have to dispute, a publicly owned utility (which granted may not worked in every single town in the US) cannot fuck you in the ass over costs like a big telecom. I dropped comcast at my last place because they started doing repairs for several days and literally didn't tell me, even when I called customer support. They are a shitty evil organization that I would not trust to run a fucking lemonade stand correctly, at least with a public utility you can freaking hold public officials accountable, quit giving me this ~ * MARKETS * ~ crap This isn't the US government doing it across the nation, it's going to be up to municipalities to do so in a publicly owned way hopefully. You cannot seriously suggest to me that in 2019 having shitty slow internet in a less than urban area (without paying out the ass) doesn't put you and your town at a economic disadvantage than a very big city. This whole Vice article goes into it, https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/ezpk77/chattanooga-gigabit-fiber-network
  5. Yep, that is very solid. Very very few people actually like their ISP and the big telecom companies, it could honestly be a good wedge issue to drive support for something like M4A.
  6. This looks like footage from the LA riots in the 90s. They're using bystanders' cars to shield themselves.
  7. The shootout is just insane, pure insanity to me. Even if you were fired on first, even if you didn't know about a hostage in the truck, you're literally firing where there's multiple civilians in cars during rush hour on a busy street. It's like every single one of them watched Heat the night before and wanted to recreate the shootout scene.
  8. Not sure why this isn't a bigger issue this presidential cycle, if you've ever heard of the story of how Chattanooga created super cheap gigabit (generally free wifi gigabit is available in most of the city) through it's public utility then you know how much this could help so many people.
  9. The weird Ulysses flex in this absolutely kills me, crazy and hilarious.
  10. It's a feature, not a bug.
  11. Amy fucking sucks and is polling at like 2%. She doesn't deserve to be talked about period.
  12. Georgia has an open primary so you don't have to register with a specific party.
  13. My head hurts from laughing so hard at this. He's like some playboy model
  14. This mostly is it imo. She tried to at first run on a more leftist campaign then quickly pivoted to the center for most issues and refused to address her prosecutorial past that Tulsi was able to so clearly pick at.
  15. GOT THAT SHIT Lol, that was great.
  16. He's the one who has a kid with severe health problems right? That was my initial thought, sucks regardless.
  17. I'm on my phone and an having trouble catching up. What specifically was going on with Mehringer? Just a shitty coach that can't coach?
  18. Yep, just helps my Falcons with a better draft pick hopefully.
  19. Really wish the weather was better, that was a good game regardless though.
  20. Imagine having a system where you didn't have to do this in order to not go bankrupt from an emergency. There's an NPR story every month (maybe week?) where they go over some ridiculous hospital bill. The latest one was a 3 year old shoved a pair of Polly Pocket shoes up her nose and the Urgent Care the parents went to didn't have long enough forceps. They had to go to the emergency room and got hit with a 2000 dollar bill for something that took less than a minute to remove.
  21. My jaw dropped when I saw how long it had been since UVA won. I know VT has dominated the rivalry, but there's no way I would have guessed it's been 15 years since their last win. Some salty VT fan pointed out that the last time UVA won Facebook and Twitter weren't even around.
  22. Go shove a rusty piece of rebar up your urethra.
  23. Tech is 100% trying for a loss to keep Orlando and Herman employed.
  24. Yeah that's going to send a louder message than a banner hopefully.
