  1. The Senate has always been slightly more rational, because gerrymandering can't impact it and each party (generally) needs to nominate someone who isn't a complete nutjob. When you have a bunch of districts that have 70/30 splits of party membership, that's when the crazies get elected in the House.
  2. I suppose if you're Trump this guy might look like a warrior.
  3. I didn't follow teach's advice but I did lose $300. But I've gained back $115 now. I should probably pay more attention but I just auto invest my retirement stuff and don't look at it much.
  4. PSA: I followed teach's investment advice and lost $300 in 7 days
  5. I don't understand the government sometimes. There is a cap on SS so you don't have to pay on any income after a certain threshold. But, if you make too much income you're not allowed to do a Roth IRA. Just be consistent. Remove the SS cap and let anyone do a Roth IRA.
  6. some people post a lot of really dumb s#!t here
  7. Sure, but the article kind of explains why the bill was dumb.
  8. I would say it gets better. There were a couple episodes I didn't care for and I nearly stopped watching (I think eps 2 and 3 maybe).
  9. I wouldn't mind if they were similar to Gaddafi's final photos.
  10. Yep, and men who ejaculate anywhere other than inside a vagina should be arrested for abortion.
  11. Tuberville's a f#&%ing moron but he could also be corrupt.
  12. But maybe instead of the moon causing ocean waves, the ocean waves are sucking the moon towards the earth, and because all the glaciers are melting the waves are becoming better at moon-sucking, and this causes an influx of eclipses.
  13. It’s an accusation that shouldn’t be made in real time unless you are a lot more sure than any of the people referring to it as a genocide are. Gaza’s governed by terrorists who raped/killed/kidnapped a bunch of civilians at a concert. Retaliating by trying to kill the terrorists isn’t genocide. I’m sure Israel could do a much more successful genocide if they wanted to. There’s a reason their existence is constantly threatened yet they’re still there.
  14. I’ve been annoyed by both sides of the discussion of her greatness, but mostly by the side that blows smoke up her a$$. I was watching a men’s BB game, I think in the Elite 8. So one of the best men’s teams in the country. A guy makes a long 3. Announcer says (paraphrasing) he’s looking like Steph Curry out there. Another announcer says “or Caitlin Clark.” And it made me want to barf. You can talk about her being good without being so moronic it becomes a joke. And it’s not that the guy was saying she could do well in the NBA. It’s obnoxious because she hasn’t played a single second against the equivalent female competition. If she had been in the WNBA 10 years and put up Curry like numbers, the comment wouldn’t bother me. Anyhow, there is no way she joins the 3 on 3 league. She doesn’t seem to do well (or I should say as well) against physical, athletic female defenders. She won’t be able to shoot over or get open against men who are 6-18” taller than her typical defenders. Not to mention she’d be a huge liability on defense unless the team composition required 1 female per team.
  15. My favorite play was at 8:36 here:
  16. I believe having a living breathing “monarchy” that ties back to old people probably helps increase the tourism revenue somewhat. Because as others have said, some people are obsessed. It’s kind of hard to judge the amount though. It’s not like people would stop visiting Buckingham Palace or Westminster Cathedral if there were no longer royals. In fact at the beginning of their absence, Buckingham would open up all of the other wings so you could see what their living quarters were like, and would be open 12 mos a year instead of just in the summer. The private estates would all turn into museums as well if not owned by the family. Most of the “public” places only have sections available to see. So there would probably be a boom in visitors and revenue for at least the first 5 years, if the royals went away. In case anyone was wondering: So I assume a change in the law could instantly take Buckingham and Windsor from Charles. Balmoral is in the middle of nowhere so who cares. Dunno where Sand is.
  17. I feel like 75% of the people who hated it think that nothing on the island ever happened, even though it flat out says in the last episode that it all happened. I think the other 25% just don't like the Christiany ending.
  18. Who do we need to banish to get rid of those awful eclipses?
  19. They are both in the wrong. Maybe Israel can decide 30,000 killed is enough to make up for the 1,000 killed and raped. But I think they just want to take over the entire region and govern it, but only as occupiers, because they don't want those people to vote.
  20. Is it okay to watch porn involving bunny ears and a bunny tail butt plug on Easter as long as there are no trans people in it?
  21. Why do you post Tweets without looking any of it up and/or sharing what you found? It took me about 2 minutes to find the first thing is just made up bulls#!t. You can see in the graph the household # is higher. (And it’s supposed to be higher because it includes farm related jobs, while the other doesn’t). https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/ces_cps_trends.htm
