Too many cheap mouths to feed in Chicago anyway, no matter how good Caleb ends up being

Moore is about to put up a 1,500+ yard season, Allen is a sicko and has nobody else to throw to. They're going to love each other

The masters they used for lossless are sometimes different than the ones they used for regular streaming, apparently, so the mix can be significantly different

Sure, potential voter, but not a party leader

I get that, but my line personally was drawn with the choice to not remove the tattoo and then try to hide it by not bringing it up when he announced he was running and started getting attention. Actually, from a primary perspective it was drawn by him being a former and recent mercenary.

It doesn't matter what he says in the interview, he made an appearance on the YouTube channel of an open racist and gave him a normal interview, saying he was a fan of the show. At best that's a massive unforced error that reveals awful judgement.

It isn't just past decisions, it's current ones as well. Why would you get into politics without removing the tattoo? Why would you go on an openly racist YouTube channel, give a long interview, and describe yourself as a long-time fan? Why would you retweet an open Nazi?

I’m often asked “did you see the storm over X - what’s going on?” I would then scramble to one of the many wx sites to make a sounding. What if there was a site that specialized in soundings?

Feedback plz!

he’s a blackwater pmc that got a neo nazi tattoo in eastern europe, the blackwater part is enough to make me think hes a piece of shit, the nazi tattoo part is just confirmation and the area he got it in is more confirmation that if he didn’t know what it was he’s a world class rube unfit to govern.

The fact that you’re even asking this question proves he isn’t fit for office. If I even have pause about whether or not someone is a Nazi/racist/antisemite/misogynist they shouldn’t be in power. That’s a really low bar.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Even if you forced them to sell, then smaller-time landlords would fill that space before regular homebuyers would and they would charge just as much for rent, which will nearly always be as much as they possibly can. The only way to reliably reduce prices is to increase supply.

I'm sure they do happen to know the one or two people in such a situation because unfortunately people who detransition are often carted around from place to place to be used as examples of "medicalization". It's just the same dozen or so people, over and over again.

It was in those spaces, in the late 2010s, that I realized that the fundamentalist Christians I’d grown up with weren’t the only people enforcing rigid ideas about how others should think. After arriving in New York with mainstream Democratic views, I took classes heavy on critical theories that fixated on identity categories and reflexively decried capitalism and the West. Within influential LGBTQ organizations, gay rights had given way to radical queer politics, and academic theories about sex and gender had hardened into doctrine. Widespread revulsion toward Donald Trump had narrowed the boundaries of permissible discussion on the left. The more Trump and his followers opposed something, the more we were supposed to support it. The prevailing view was that any debate within our side would become ammunition for the right.

For a long time, I feared that if I didn’t keep my thoughts to myself, I would lose the only community I’d ever really belonged in. As controversy flared up nationally about pediatric gender medicine, though, I started voicing concerns, rooted in my own experiences, over what looked to me like a rush to medical treatment. For all the sloganeering about protecting trans kids, I heard no discussion about protecting effeminate gay boys from unnecessary medicalization. When I and others asked whether progressive norms might be nudging effeminate gay boys to think of themselves as girls, no one wanted to hear it. Instead of answers, we were given the LGBTQ community’s official line. “Gender identity and sexual orientation are two different things,” the Human Rights Campaign asserts. But the confidence with which people claim that the two have nothing to do with each other is hard to square with research findings: According to data collected mostly before the recent surge in pediatric-dysphoria diagnoses, most prepubescent children who experienced gender distress went on to experience same-sex attraction and ultimately did not pursue a gender transition. Of 70 adolescents whom Dutch clinicians subjected to puberty suppression from 2000 to 2008, the overwhelming majority were attracted exclusively to people of their biological sex.

Straightforward right-wing agitprop. The idea that thousands of kids were pushed into gender-affirming surgeries because the left shuts down debate is a laughable conspiracy theory. The overwhelming social pressure is to be cis, not trans!

I’m hearing that both small sample sizes AND Spring Training results matter a great deal

Good lord please no

That's also true, yes, ICE engines are really inefficient on their own which is why the transmission loss doesn't even it out.

I'd still think this is true on the whole, but there is some loss at grid scale due to the need for transmission, while the energy the engine generated is used immediately. Still more efficient at grid scale though, probably, and besides that nowhere is generating on 100% coal these days.

Absolutely zero of the anti-trans laws are motivated or supported or enacted or enforced with anything other than malice

Listen, it's 2026, most teams have moved away from having a full-time tails on the team because having a knuckles who can shift over is so much more valuable.

My addition to this conversation is that I could theoretically "win" a point on a double fault on exactly the first point of the match before Serena realized I was not a serious opponent and she could ace me with second serves

"It is as politically polarizing as ever, and also there is no evidence at all that it works as a treatment for cancer, and also delaying real treatment for cancer kills people so anyone pushing this unfounded 'cure' is killing people."

You gotta try putting the mouse tail on and making it really long

I will venmo any reporter $2,000 to give trump a map of the middle east and ask him to identify iran

Betting on election outcomes or anything political at all should absolutely be illegal and you should only have access to sports betting in-person. Odds should also be set by the house and not by random anonymous people because the house is much easier to regulate.

The problem with sports gambling is the apps, the problem with the prediction markets (besides also being an app) is that they can exert real-world influence by either encouraging corruption or influencing public opinion. That is their stated goal, to drive perceptions of reality.

Drinking is far more popular among the general public than betting on the color of the president's tie.

I mean, by many measures it did. It wasn't perfect, but it did accomplish much of what it was put in place for, it made constant drinking more taboo. Yes organized crime benefitted, but I can guarantee you alcohol killed a lot more people in the 20s than the Mafia ever did.
