    "Reliable + low-drama" translates to "yes man who knows how to stay out of the spotlight" in Trump-speak.

    Plus, he's short. Can't have anyone on the ticket that threatens Trump's (lack of) manhood.

    Yep. Same reason he chose Pence. 

    Select a braindead mute who won't touch my spotlight

    Hopefully Biden doesn't lose ground running against a convicted felon who attempted a failed coup on his way out the door last time.

    Every time I watch the news, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. 

    Interviewee: I don't know if I can support Biden because [insert traditional policy difference]

    Interviewer: Yeah, that's understandable.

    ME YELLING: The other guy is going to deport you and imprison your family you dumb fuck!!!

    Your argument for keeping pets in general is the same as not giving up eating some beef.

     

    Reducing meat consumption is a good goal. I agree with you. Your plan to reduce meat consumption is dumb. Here’s an olive branch. Don’t you think requiring dog food to be plant based is a better solution than charge high fees for new pets?

    Nobody in this country is going to do any of that until forced to. Most can't even be bothered to read your clear summary made in a digestible paragraph.

    People will choose their dogs over their grandchildren. In fact, they are doing just that as well as choosing hamburgers, needlessly large vehicles, or anything else they believe they're entitled to.

    Frankly, it seems like we've already impacted nature enough that we won't be able to prevent climate disaster. The melting permafrost is a gigantice problem, and there is nothing to be done about it now.

    Discomfort, pain, or fear force change. By the time climate change evokes any of those, it will be too late.

    I like dogs. I just don't like them above everything else. Your statement about the battle not being won by addressing the statistics quoted on the last page is not much different than saying, "Me giving up beef five days a week won't make any difference?"

    I agree with most of your post, I just think you’re not considering all the variables in your “give up your dogs” solution. For example, I don’t have kids. I have three dogs that weigh a combined 50 pounds. You suggesting I give them up to fight climate change is asinine. Their meat consumption is far less than most. In fact, since I often don’t eat meat, and my wife never does, our household is probably below most households by a large margin. I’m not choosing my dogs over my grandchildren. Why can’t we instill a one child policy? That would cut down on meat consumption, wouldn’t it? We don’t do that because that suggestion is just as asinine. If you want to propose household meat rations, go for it. It wouldn’t bother my house one bit. We love Tofu. It’s just a little silly considering we can barely pass laws to prevent companies from pouring toxic waste into rivers. 

    Climate Change will be solved by solutions already mentioned. Reduction of fossil based energy, reduction of plastics, reduction of consumption culture, and changes in food production and consumption. 

    Why won’t it happen? Because humans celebrate stupidity.

    I don't understand the following post in an online site that exposes corporate misconduct. Maybe one of the mortgage folks here understands this:

     

    Hunterbrook Media, a new media outlet that shares its stories in advance with an affiliated hedge fund, published a follow-up article on UWM Holdings (NYSE: UWMC — $10.2 billion), a wholesale mortgage lender. Hunterbrook Media said it “learned that a UWM executive set up a shell company that in 2019 was used to purchase and establish UMortgage, a Philadelphia-based mortgage company that brands itself as independent.” Hunterbrook also highlighted videos posted by a former UMortgage originator who claimed that “UMortgage leadership regularly manipulates its rate sheets to make UWM’s loans appear cheaper than those from other lenders — without telling the UMortgage loan originators whose responsibility it is to shop for the best deal on behalf of clients.”

    I believe Hunterbrook “Media” was created by Rocket to attack UWM. Lots of Shenanigans. I’d take everything they post with a giant grain of salt. That being said, I don’t see what’s wrong with UWM creating other companies to funnel them business. The only issue would be if UMortage doesn’t disclose this affiliation to their clients.

    Realistically they can field 5x that?

    It depends what you mean by realistically. They have an estimated male population between 15-64 of 48 million so yeah, they can find more people to throw to the meat grinder, but in reality, the ones willing or even capable of fighting are far far less. Also, eventually the population revolts after so many people are killed for dumb reasons. At the same time, Russians do like suffering.

  7. Buyers/Sellers need to shop around for a real estate agent and negotiate a better deal. I absolutely believe everyone should use a real estate agent, but the agency contract should be negotiated with more fervor. Compensation, length of contract, etc. I know there’s lots of good agents out there, but there’s also some shitty ones.

    Only Jett Bush, Ryan Sanborn, Ryan Watts, and Jordan Whittington are eligible Longhorns still hoping for their name to be called going into the final 2 rounds. 

    Weird. NFL Draft only has Watts and Whittington left on the board. 
     

    9 of 11 drafted so far

    Trump will demand to have any debate on his terms. Biden should pre empt that and give Trump an ultimatum re format, locations and moderators 

    Which is why the debates will never happen

    Trump will never agree to debate like a normal human, and Biden should never agree to a debate where he just gets yelled over constantly
