  1. I get the basic premise that people in middle age often have families, kids, bills, etc., that makes being an activist unrealistic without risking income, family, and other obligations. That's always been true which is why I surmise a lot of these things start at college campuses with the youths who don't yet have all those obligations and concerns. I disagree entirely though that this was just a single incident, not tyranny, and not a big deal. We've been at Defcon 2 if not 1 for several years now with an entire political wing trying to erase any and all dissent, which is causing active harm to several groups, women, LGBTQ, racial and ethnic minorities, etc., are under assault at every turn. This issue is national news and Defcon 1 concern because literal nazis are being given far more first amendment rights than any cause that is more popular among liberals. It's deeply, deeply disturbing and to brush it off as "no big deal" and "stop overreacting" is just as concerning to me, because this is not normal. It's blatantly obvious to me this is part of a much bigger and much more problematic picture. 

    Edit to add that I'm currently in the position described, I don't have the time or ability to actively protest without risking job security, especially on the Israel topic, and just don't have the time or energy to add it to the daily pressures of middle-aged life. But I've told my wife if it truly hits a tipping point, especially with my state's government seemingly threatening to shut down public schools or other extreme measures, we might just have to go for it, because the rest won't really matter. 

  2. Am I the only one bothered by the wording in the graphic? The heading says "Young Male Virginity On the Rise" but the poll's premise says "Men under 30 who report zero sexual partners since turning 18." So the poll captures people who had sex before 18 but not for the next 12 years? Those people are by definition not virgins. It think they're trying to refer to men between 18 and 30 who are still virgins to avoid polling men under 18 who are still virgins since that is (or should be) pretty normal. Why not just word it that way? "Men between 18 and 30 who are virgins."

    Having some random person clear hundreds of thousands of your debt tends to change perspectives

    That’s fully consistent with one of their talking points, that a president can only be criminally prosecuted after being impeached and removed. The reality is that the process is now just partisan votes, the evidence was irrelevant.

    Yes cool. But the problem is the team has gotten worse since the playoff loss. If we were adding to that team then this might be all good. But we let Tyron walk and Stephon walk and pollard walk and so on and so fucking forth. We got demolished by Green Bay because we had no diggs and no lbers. We should be getting diggs back, adding cooper, and adding Beebe to last years team. Next year is gonna suck, and we’re “all in” on that for sure. Which is cool, just expect it. Let’s let Dak and McCarthy walk, bring in belicheck, and go to a model where we pay all players but QBs. Keep a qb on a rookie deal then let him walk or trade him for picks when he’s good. Fuck it

    The problem is and was the fat tub of shit on the sideline and the band of Jerry’s yes men he hired as assistants. Full stop. The players have been and continue to be in place.

    You would think that after this many years in the league, Westbrook would have finally figured out that "playoff intensity" doesn't mean increasing your scowl and amping up the histrionics and fake tough guy bullshit. 

    In a way it makes me mad because I think he could have been a great player, but he's just too stupid and mentally weak to get there.

    Fake tough guy with one point, which means not tough, just a bitch who hates that he sucks. 

    So the Clips are OKc retirement home? Westbrook, Beard, and Paul George. Good in KD for not going that sad route.

  6. Wait, what? Is that real? Why isn’t there a Biden post right now with a list of dates and locations? I’d treat it like a trial, have a screen with exhibits disproving each and every lie. Get some blow from Hunter if needed, better than a pack of diet cokes. Or just be prepared to mock him when he backs out like the complete bitch he is. The only possible explanation for that post is one of his own news sources must have finally showed that Biden is kicking his ass.

    I'm single in a small town and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. All the good women are taken and what's left is just trash that gets passed around. 
    My father keeps telling me all kinds of reasons why Asian women are better and that I need to branch out to the nearest big city to date some.
     He meant well, so I didn't tell him I've slept with a couple in the past and the noises they make in bed sounds like someone is killing a cat. 
    I mean, bad enough that doggy became my preferred position so I could stick my fingers in my ears. Still, he's probably right...

    You are a willfully blind dishonest piece of shit.  I am done engaging with you.  To my blocked list you go.

    From you, it's a badge of honor. Back to your echo chamber, snowflake. That Abbott ass must be delicious.

    Yep.  There is just one.  That's it.  it is not a common sentiment at all at Ivy League cess pools.

    JFC, no surprise your critical thinking skills are non existent. The VAST MAJORITY of college protests are about support for Palestinian people and criticism of the State of Israel's military actions. The VAST MAJORITY of chants and signs at these events are "Free Palestine" or the like. A few who go off the rails does not = "the protests are antisemitic."

    The stuff Brisket is pointing out are protests, events, people in which the VAST MAJORITY are promoting nazism. The signs and chants and signs are "The Jews Will Not Replace Us."

    Yeah, both anti-Semitic. 

    Dumb fuck.
