  1. Then go to Costco or Sam's. It's the #1 item for both of them. They're also bigger and fatter. Tim Scott even went so far as to marry.....a woman.
  2. To your point about food, I know food prices very well and these people kvetching the last few years about spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars per month for 2-3 people just don't know what they're doing. A rotisserie chicken is $5 and that can be 2-3 meals with sides depending on how many people we're talking about. Spaghetti is another one. I'm sympathetic to the poor these last few years. Also, it's hard for them to have time to cook sometimes. They can have erratic schedules. Overall, though, this is just people bitching. I saw a theory called the "$16 Cheeseburger." Basically, everyone's individual situation is fine but paying $16 for a fast food cheeseburger grinds their ass. That's understandable.

    Started this last night. Entertaining but yes, a bit of a stretch on the plot details.
  4. People also want to be lied to.
  5. Walmart’s CFO John David Rainey said the retailer would likely have to raise prices on some items if President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs take effect. “We never want to raise prices,” he said in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday. “Our model is everyday low prices. But there probably will be cases where prices will go up for consumers.” https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/19/walmart-says-new-trump-tariffs-could-raise-prices.html
  6. Mostly due to the price of packaging. (They are packaged goods, after all.) Just look at aluminum over the years. (Below.) There was a BIG aluminum shortage from late 2020 to mid 2021 to the point Big Soda stopped making certain flavors. Also, there was some price gouging going on. Big Food finally realized they had more pricing power than they thought. They kept raising prices and unit sales roughly stayed the same. People are generally brand loyal on most things.
  7. People were bitching about the price of eggs and then paying $1K for Taylor Swift tickets. There was a poll in 2023 asking people if gas was higher than in 2022 and most people said yes even thought it was half as expensive.
  8. I did this a few years ago and am much better for it. Like Bates but to a lesser degree, I have to follow the business news for my job. (CNBC, WSJ, etc.). I really only pay attention during elections and that’s more so because I just can’t quit it. I know that when I’m not following it, I’m in a happier place. Arthur Brooks wrote something a few months ago about how Capitol Hill has become a profoundly unhappy place and I’m curious on Bates’ perspective on that.
  9. That’s basically half of LSU’s entire endowment.
  10. I thought I'd watch a great fight on Netflix. Ended up watching a slap fight on Twitter in Spanish. Just awful all around. The NFL needs to press Netlix on their ability to handle live events. That was awful.
  11. This sucked so much ass.
  12. They must be telling Venables that he has to branch out from his Friends & Family and not hire some middling career assistant that he worked with once at Clemson or something.
  13. Wasn’t this the plot of Rocky 6 (Rocky Balboa)?
  14. She is also a Russian asset and defected last year. Look it up.
  15. As much as I personally like Steven Adams and that fan base loves him, that's not going to happen. He just doesn't fit that roster or system anymore.
  16. OKC has size on the roster. It's just injured right now. Size is also arm length and every single player on OKC's roster is long relative to position.
  17. On Tuesday, OKC plays at SA and Wemby with SGA being the tallest guy on the roster right now.
  18. I keep hitting refresh but pics of the fiancée aren't showing up.
  19. Hope she likes being married to an insurance agent in Denton.
  20. Only white coastal liberals think Pete is viable. Pete is easily the smartest person out there but even Pete knows him being gay is a complete non starter.
  21. Gretchen Whitmer would be the odds on favorite but I think the actual Democratic voters might have some pause about nominating a woman again. That's unfair to Whitmer but it's not wrong. That would leave Shapiro, Wes Moore, Brashears, and maybe Newsom. Brashears would be the best bet between them.
  22. 3rd and 4th grade? Good grief.... It's also the type of porn. Back in the day, porn was basically a naked woman in a magazine. Now, good lord. It's everything. Also, porn was hard to get. "Porn in the woods." You had to acquire it somehow through a friends older brother, literally finding it in the woods, etc. Then you had to hide it from your parents. All that for just a naked woman. Now, it's all right there on your phone. No wonder these young boys are screwed in the head. I saw this as someone who is far from a sexual conservative but I'm also a grown man who was once a young boy.
  23. 8. Porn. During their formative years, young boys are going down the wormhole of porn and as a result, don't know how to talk to an actual girl and end up as incels.
  24. Oh, well. Maybe Jill Stein can help.
