Seriously? Cool it with the fucking memes.

a society that no longer cares about raising children with two parents and where religion is frowned upon

Came here to say the same thing.

This is so amazing and I’m totally going to give this a listen. As a fellow PhD in the obscure humanities, I have lamented how limited the options have been to talk to the layperson about interesting periods of history.

I always felt bad for that guy because I am such a miserable speller. In college— during a time when there was little/no email— I wrote letters to my friends by hand. As I wrote, I’d think about upcoming words and if I knew there was one I wasn’t sure about in terms of spelling, I’d use a synonym or even restructure a…

ETA: Just googled and can find nothing about this. I might be misunderstanding the thread.

Huh. I went to Cuba several times for work a few years ago. The people at the Airport in Miami were checking crazy things— 45" HD TVs, auto parts, bikes, toys, you name it. I went through the airport in Havana with several thousand dollars in cash— needed because my American credit cards wouldn’t work. But no one ever…

Anyone proposing “A Balanced Budget for a Stronger America” doesn’t get how the federal government works, and has no business being in charge of anything. And yet, here we are.

I think this is the correct analysis. From personal experience, it seems to me that when playing competitively there was no added bonus when going against a team/player that I really loathed.

I saw the joke and didn’t quite read it that way— though his further Twitter comments makes it seem like I was reading it wrong.

And when we DO settle them, it is clear that it’s just a family that wants to live in a place that isn’t a hell zone. The kids are all cute, and, amazingly, their spirits haven’t just been crushed from all the shit that they have already seen/experienced. (From the link, “The kids showing their room and talking about…

I am not going to reply here because there are like 2500 comments. But (a) Yes, Oklahoma’s main food claim is Fried Okra, though Chicken Fried Steak is probably a close second, and (b) I feel like it’s a few spots better than it ended up on the list. Otherwise, nice list. And fuck Skyline Chili.

This is nuts. At one point, she’s like “and under this rock we are standing on is more lava and you can see the glow in the cracks.” So... let’s hope you don’t, uh, step on a particularly thin part that can’t support your weight and you fall knee-deep into molten lava!

Over here, they write that “The Clay County Development Corporation’s Facebook page is flooded with negative reviews now.” And that’s mostly true. But you still have the crypto-racists on there who say things like “so much for free speech” failing to understand at all the First Amendment concept of free speech.

But if we were to speculate.... I think a lot of people in the midwest are turned off by the effects of globalization. We can say “those jobs are never coming back” but at the end of the day, those people need employment. The Democrats haven’t really addressed that fundamental issue.

Yeah, but it does seem like the DB on him was not fooled. He just got beat. Perhaps if he’d had safety help, Or if Roethlisberger had been pressured, the result would have been different, though.

But you’re right: coaches should drill into players’ minds that no matter what, expect a play.

There are lots of terrible things in this, but one that has always struck me is how he really has no idea about facts here. Think about this: in his quote above, he says, “where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million.” So... it is probably one number, or it could be fifty percent…

I believe that in the primaries, Oklahoma went for Cruz— which makes sense. He’s a complete Evangelical shill. I heard him speak to a private group here. He had a part where when he shows how the US governmental structure is based on the Bible (it isn’t). He went on to say that when he explains this to the “liberal…
