It’s definitely interesting. But I’m not shocked.
MAGA culture is largely misogynistic. Charlie Kirk was a hero because he preached the gospel of “get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich.” That Erika is now being exposed as not living up to that misogynistic ideal—that she dared to have a...
I’m not advocating for releasing violent criminals.
I’m pointing out that in order to keep prison beds filled—and prison workers employed—we as a country have decided that drug convictions are punishable by prison sentences.
I agree that the system should change. We should not be imprisoning...
1. The prison industry is big money. Republicans in particular (though some Dems too) are very much beholden to that industry.
2. Republicans (and some Dems too) cast drug usage, addiction, and sales as a moral failing and a corruptive influence worthy of prison.
Lefties often try to get...
There are so many. The web and social media make it exceedingly easy to scam folks.
As a job-seeker, I’ve found that even the job market is rife with scams. Fake job listings, fake “recruiters”, fake job search sites. All for data mining purposes.
It’s kinda scary and disheartening.
Which is why it’s infuriating to hear folks talk about “the extreme left” as if there’s really an extreme left party/agenda in the US.
The right has gone so far to the extreme, that the left has lurched further rightward to compensate.
We literally no longer have any moderate D party members...
And my point remains that the words “bastard” or “bitch” are far less sexually explicit than images of strap-ons and bondage gear.
True, it could indicate nothing more than bad taste. But it makes one question the proclivities of those who’d put out such a label far more than if they’d used the...
iMHO, humping dogs on a label is vastly different from explicit bdsm themes and/or strap-on dildos and fleshlights.
Not saying that it’s a direct line between explicit labels and raping a 13 yr old, by any means. Still, it does give one pause.
Yikes. I don’t think I’ve ever paid much attention to their cans.
To be fair, I’ve only had a few of their beers—mostly Mountain Candy, which I’ve liked.
Right. 3 non-conference games. Generally at least 2 (and sometimes all 3) of those games are against cupcakes, so as to get easy Ws.
Which leaves far fewer than 96 potential slots for ND.
Given the 9-game conference schedules for B1G and SEC schools, I’m not so sure there are gonna be a lot of top-tier teams jumping at the prospect of tossing away one of their cupcake games in favor of a dangerous matchup with ND.
There are around 40 bowl games currently.
That ESPN owns/operates only 16 of them should serve as an indication that most of them don’t garner huge profits.
If you tune into some of the first week’s bowl games, you’ll see a lot of empty seats for games between ~.500 teams. The only folks...
To be fair, I think that’s kinda the point.
There are currently far too many bowl games. Historically, CFB hasn’t rewarded teams that finish at 6-6 or 5-7.
Pare back the amount of bowls and re-calibrate to where a winning record is a minimum requirement.
