Yeah, it’s mixed between “great Trek” and “greatest Trek”

I mean, between Star Wars and Jaws, the mid-70s saw a pretty seismic change in how movies are marketed and distributed (namely the move away from roadshow release strategies and a keener focus on opening weekend as a metric of success); it may be silly to make a qualitative assessment of film based on that impact, but…

The student loan interest deduction is extremely limited. Those who are truly low-income don’t pay enough tax to get a benefit from it. But it starts phasing out at $70k of income for single filers. It’s only folks in the ~$40k-70k income band that are likely to get much out of it. 

Dude, look at the system you are defending. It’s ridiculous. You’re expecting recent college grads to afford to pay $800 a month to pay off this loan they shouldn’t even have to had taken out, ON TOP OF housing costs/rent, which, at least for rent, is averaging about $2k a month, and that’s not even taking into…

I’m not knocking state schools at all. I graduated from one 7 years ago. But the fact is their tuitions are also skyrocketing as their funding has gotten worst every year. It isn’t a private school specific problem.

Even state schools charge $10k/semester and that’s -not- taking into account room, books, food...  So, sure, the average private school is double that, but good on ya if you don’t consider that “crazy expensive.”

The state schools are drastically underfunded these days. Their tuitions have had to increase to make up the gap. I strongly doubt there are any remaining state schools that someone can graduate from with little or no debt.

So this guy could get out and shoot people instead of just hitting their cars with a pipe?

I’m glad the season is getting a good review, but I didn’t read past the first couple of paragraphs — partially I want to avoid anything that even looks like a spoiler, but mostly because I don’t like this take that there was anything wrong with season three.

It’s amazing how good this show is. I don’t think another franchise could do a funny, serious, heartfelt version of itself so perfectly, look up Star Wars: Detours if you want proof.

I don’t know how it is in Connecticut, but my least favorite stretch of I-95 is between DC and Fredericksburg. It’s brutal.

Counter example that happens often:

And people say this guy was never IV league material.

I think you overestimate how much little kids give a shit. They still got a ball from the game, they will still be over the moon happy to have it. Kids at baseball games aren’t whiny people who complain that “it wasn’t from a specific source”, they just want a freakin ball.

Eh, I disagree. He had already given the front-row kid a ball, and so he gave this ball to another kid who (presumably) hadn’t gotten one. That seems to me like the good and just thing to do.

Unless you are a young, enormous black man this might not be an apples-to-apples comparison

To be fair, the focus of his ads is to reach his home market, and that alone is an upstream battle.

But wait we need to know what Ned in Clusterfuck, Nebraska thinks about this. We should also talk to Barney & Zeke in Dipshit, Iowa to get their opinion on how this NY coastal elite will contribute to them living off of NYC’s tax money. Already people are shitting on this as some kind of failure for Pelosi and…

Things Romo can hold:
1. A grudge.

To be clear, literally all they did was take her name off a prize.
