  1. if that is the same dude, going full ride UVA to selling cars guaranteed to beat any written offer by $500 absolutely tracks the other burnouts that are loudly participating in the present right wing nonsense.
  2. US = UT. Tons of resources. But last big win getting further and further in the rearview mirror. We will be reminiscing about VY piloting the Enola Gay for the next 90 years, because there is so little to be proud of our record since.
  3. then run for senator in ohio.
  4. FYI, regarding the Cardinal, his stance is pretty outside of mainstream. Most Catholic writings says Pfizer and Moderna are perfectly fine because there was no aborted tissue used in their creation. J&J doesn't pass that test, but then with J&J, it is still say it is a weighing issue and you should take the "least bad" path based on your morality: either utilizing 'illicit' material or risking hurting the vulnerable around you.
  5. Yeah, they haven’t done a great job of setting up any sort of tension this season. Last season I think a big key to it was put a sincere and decent person into this cynical environment. But he “won” and everyone else around him is sincere and decent now. Hard to recapture that feeling of him persevering
  6. On the 28th?
  7. Red Texas right now.
  8. MI7 starring kittridge.
  9. Do you think it’s any more complicated than what is suggested in that tweet up above? It says there they can make every district that is currently Republican an R +10 and also capture the two new districts so long as they dump all of Austin‘s votes into one district.
  10. Yeah. I’m from Cooke county. It looks like it’s saying it has grown though.
  11. The system is built with some fundamental assumptions. One is that the elected will be incentivized to promote the interests of those they represent. that has largely been replaced by two things: the nationalization of every issue such that there is no such thing as a local interest anymore and the politics of resentment when making others suffer is more important than your constituents succeed.
  12. gerrymander is high art. that guy that died and had his daughter spill the beans made that clear. they enter all the demographics into a computer and it pops out 1000 different gerrymanders that the politicians pick from, balancing between extreme 100% congressional win to something more politically feasible. They just go with the one they think is the most gerrymandered that they can get away with.
  13. that really is shocking to me that all those rural texas counties actually lost people.
  14. What death toll would it take to reach these people? I think it has to be enough to reach their primary defense: selfishness. This isn't happening to me, therefore I don't need to act. I think it would have to be in the few percent range: 3million, 6million, something like that. It would need to get so that every little community of 1000 people would have enough deaths that everyone would know multiple people fairly close to them that died. I think you can always claim this is someone else's problem until it gets to that level. At 600,000 deaths, we are only 10-20% of the way there. I don't think sicknesses will ever move the needle. It has to be deaths. Getting sick and surviving only means these people out freedomed it, and it is a red badge of courage.
  15. that sounds like special k as much as q. q pushed him over the edge, i'm sure, but i bet it got a LOT of chemical help.
  16. I was thinking about this joke this morning, totally unrelated to this post, which I find cool, but gives me an excuse to comment on it. But here is a joke within the joke I was thinking about: why does this joke work with a large crowd? Because everyone thinks he's talking to them. You are the smart one, and you'll indicate it by laughing at the situation you're mired in. It's Emperor New Clothes-esque.
  17. Likely sequel haiku: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha huh ah well nevertheless
  18. 8% of women, 9% of men think they could take this thing. 600 pounds of face shredding power.
  19. now the only value of the show is the fewer.gif to use on this board. went from biggest thing ever to erased from cultural relevance over night.
  20. What sucks about Anti-vaxxers is that there is real stuff that needs to be studied. But you can't say anything perceived as negative about a vaccine because you know the nutters are going to run with it as the key most important irrefutable data point.
  21. my rebuttal is that it's entitled "Red Pilled" which already means its aimed at people that are stuck at 8th grade education.
