  1. And it’s a feature that probably about a third of all voters explicitly pulled the lever for.
  2. Great catch. By not putting “brief” in quotes, they are basically affirming the regime’s claims.
  3. 2024: Pitching chaos = playoff appearance 2025: Position player chaos = ???
  4. It’s revenue. No way they can pass that up.
  5. Yes, that count. Eerily similar circumstances.
  6. I think there is zero chance he goes back on Khalil. Trump is beholden to Jewish/Israeli interests that influence his administration and his red hat base (who, even though they don't particularly like or respect Jews, need Israel to pursue the certain course they say will bring Christ back again); and he has already publicly regarded Muslims as not being worthy to be in America, with his blanket bans on visits from countries that are primarily Muslim.
  7. The questions that leap to my mind are (1) why is he qualifying "physically"? What are all the others ways he would admit to having hurt people?; and (b) why does he draw the line at hurting someone "physically", as though hurting people any and all other ways is acceptable?
  8. Pasting this here from the pet peeve thread. Speaking of ages and movies, I wondered something as I was watching the movie "Pride of the Yankees", googled it, and it's true: Gary Cooper, the actor who played Lou Gehrig, was born two years before Gehrig was. I wonder whether any other actor in a major motion picture ever played a real-life character they were actually older than.
  9. You misspelled “when”.
  10. No matter how much weight you have to lose, you should always allow yourself one cheat day per week in which you get to eat what you want and don’t count the calories. It’s a great carrot to make getting hit by the stick more palatable—it’s good for your mental state. Of course, this works only if you are religious the other six days of the week. If you backslide a second day, that will blow everything up.
  11. Set it up for her without her knowing, then show it to her. If she still rejects it, then eh, you did what you could to make things easy on her. I got my wife off the web and onto Outlook by setting up three emails addresses for her on it, including our shared email address for house stuff.
  12. That seems to be his speed.
  13. It was. Tiger cubs looked good. Really, really good. Bryce Rainer especially was outstanding.
  14. One of the unfortunate memories I have of Ray Lane—not his fault, of course—was watching on TV when he announced to the crowd at a Pistons game that the new arena they were moving to in Auburn Hills from Pontiac was going to be named the Palace. The way he built up it all up during his introduction, and then his revealing the name being The Palace, brought a cascade of boos down from the stands. I didn’t like the name at first, either. It sounded cheesy to me. But I did feel bad in the moment for Ray that he was the guy getting booed for it.
  15. Mel Ott was an active Tigers broadcaster when he was killed in a tragic car crash after the 1958 season.
  16. I will call people “kiddo” sometimes, just to mix things up a little, but I would refer to children as “kiddos”, which sounds super clunky to my ears.
  17. Download Outlook from the Microsoft Store and sync all your Gmail and Yahoo mail accounts to it. I had eight separate Gmail accounts I use for different purposes coming into a single Inbox. It’s so convenient once you get it working. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
  18. That’s what they’re shooting for, anyway. They want people to get used to living at subsistence level. Like during the Gilded Age. You know, when America was great.
  19. Counting calories is the best way to lose weight because you kind of treat it like money. You establish a goal, which acts like a bank, and you feel as though you can’t go into debt by going over your calorie count. I felt like that, any way. I also weigh everything I eat at home on a gram scale before I eat it. I don’t trust my eyes to help me moderate.
  20. Technically not free, but I take your point. They don’t want people to learn things. They want people to work.
  21. Disagree. New York Times and Washington Post could definitely frame it in the same way.
  22. Maybe I'm misunderstanding in general, but I could swear practically everyone is saying that red hat America is mad as hell at the way Trump is running things and that his approval is plummeting. Or maybe NBC polling cooked the numbers to appease the fascists. One or the other, I guess. 🤷‍♂️ 5. 📊 NBC poll: Trump high, Dem low Graphic: NBC News More registered voters say the U.S. is heading in the right direction (44%) than at any point since early 2004, though a majority (54%) still say the country is on the wrong track, according to an NBC News poll out this morning. Trump's job approval rating (47%) matches his all-time highs in NBC News polling throughout his political career (37% "strongly approve," 10% "somewhat approve"). 1,000 registered voters were polled March 7-11, with a margin of error of ±3.1%. Keep reading. 🥊 The Democratic Party reached an all-time low in popularity in NBC polling dating back to 1990: 27% of those polled said they have positive views of the party (20% positive ... 7% very positive). Keep reading. Go deeper: NBC polling on DOGE, Musk.
  23. Reported saved money and actual saved money aren't the same thing, and to your point, for their purposes they don't have to be.
