this is the good kinja, put it directly in my goddamn veins

first i’d say that continually posting more or less saying “BUT WHY” when people have given you legitimate reasons would definitely count as whining.

ha, finally someone knows who the Fest is instead of the “oh i’m going to the Fest this weekend.” “oh, yeah, which fest?” “...uh, *THE* Fest.”  Also, highly recommend going - they always do it the weekend UF plays UGA in the Jags’ stadium so most of the college kids are away and the town is overrun by punk music…

welp take it up with the Freep’s editorial board and policies instead of whining about it here

i think the key word in OP’s quote is “out” woman.

this thread definitely made me revisit something to write home about here at work (goddamn it’s still so good).  they’re playing a 3-day lineup with Piebald, Cursive, and a ton of other fucking great bands that is gonna be such a trip and i’m stoked for it!

yo don’t feel bad cuz i am seeing them this weekend in Gainesville (somehow have *still* not seen them live yet)

I think we’re both more or less on the same page, but one of the big stumbling blocks (that you mention as well) is the NCAA - there’s too much money at stake for them to offer more than a perfunctory support of the “student” part of “student-athlete”.  The system in general needs a huge overhaul to tilt some more of…

So, even ignoring the apparent ax you have to grind with the author, the statistics just don’t back you up. About half of the players in the NFL do *not* get there with a college degree in hand.  While some do go back after their careers, and people like Troy Vincent have tried to push for more programs designed to…

oh please like that moron knows there’s a silent b at the end of the word

Is there anything false in that headline though?

I think Nate touches on this briefly in this article - yeah, they might have a scholarship to a major university, but they really are there as football players to play football and make money for the university every Saturday.  There are some who take advantage of the education they can get, but imagine being 19 years…

The one thing I’ll throw at you:  if you’re in your mid-30s (and your partner is as well) I feel like there should be a little less apprehension in making moves quicker than you would’ve in your 20s.  Not saying to knock her up and by the house with the white picket fence next week, but definitely try and have the…

don’t have much to say beyond the fact that this shits.  you’ve seen this guy on TV every week for the past 5-6 years being called a “superman” and sometimes you forget that they’re an actual human being, and that some diseases don’t give a fuck who you are.  fuck cancer and get back soon, even if i have to hear…

Look, I get the idea that getting out the vote is extremely important, but sitting here and hanging Trump getting elected on millennials while ignoring the other groups that actually propelled him into office is some serious “get off my lawn” level bullshit. So is saying that there are people that had to face the…

Hanging Trump on the only age group that saw an increase in their turnout in from 2012 to 2016 seems to be a bit of a stretch, considering you could point to a litany of other demographics (white people, anyone making over $50K a year, rural population) that voted overwhelmingly for Trump. And as this article mentions…

Doesn’t mean there still aren’t millennials that weren’t old enough to vote for Obama in 2012 - most definitions usually put the end of the generation between 1997 and 2000 so there are a good amount of kids who are voting in their first major elections this year.  Let them have their moment.

Just to piggyback: was on tour years back and played a show in downtown Cincinnati and EVERYTHING near the venue was closed by 5ish on a Saturday. I took a personality test at the Scientology center just to access the buffet they had set out.
