With the NFL getting in bed with sports gambling, you're going to see calls like this all the time now. Slowly but surely, the NFL is turning into the WWF.

What's the point? It's not going to overurn the results of the game. No ref is going to get fined or fired.

Fucking poverty franchise, man. Section 8, HUD subsidized, with SNAP benefits- type franchise. Oh, and as usual, fire Joe Woods.

Even Phil Dawson was only 66% on his FGs his rookie year. It sucks, but the Browns shouldn't give up on Cade York just yet.

Neither one is particularly fine dining, but Goldstar is the better option between the two for "fuck it, there's nothing else to eat" nights.

In all honesty, the prospect of having $20k shaved off my student loans is a plus for me. That doesn't mean I'm planning on voting for him in 2024.

As a Cincy-area local, Skyline is an... acquired taste. Gold Star is much better.

"Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government, as among our Indians. 2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one. 3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population. The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it's evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical". - Jefferson to Madison, January 30, 1787

At the risk of putting on my tinfoil hat for a minute, the timing of Trump's house getting raided shortly after Pelosi's visit to Taiwan seems an interesting coincidence to me.

Why did Hillary Clinton delete about 30,000 emails? Deleting over 30k emails seems to be an odd way of cooperating with an investigation.

Remember how Hillary Clinton had thousands of classified documents and emails on her own private server back in 2016 and the FBI didn't raid her home and she didn't face any criminal charges? Courts are not immune to politicization.

I live in the area as well. It's funny listening to Bengals fans going from "Blame Andy/Marvin" to "Blame Eli Apple".

"Predominantly [insert religion] neighborhood" is a modifier that changes the argument. I could just as easily say that Muslims or fringe religions like Satanism or Scientology holding prayers in the middle of small town Alabama or Indiana would cause a conniption fit amongst the predominantly Christian citizenry of those areas. By being an adherent of a specific religion, logically, that means that the beliefs of other religions are already automatically not taken seriously, no? A Christian does not take the religious beliefs of a Muslim, Buddhist or Hindu or non-belief of atheists seriously because they are separate belief structures from the Christian religion, so that argument isn't really germaine to the core of the issue. The number of adherents to a specific religion is not a prerequisite to protection under the free exercise clause of the First Amendment. The Supreme Court, with this ruling, has opened the door for all religious practices to have the same public prayer privileges that the Christian coach has throughout the United States, regardless of what religion dominates the specific area in question. That is why I said it would be amused to see how the Christian majority areas of the country would respond to non-Christian religions holding prayers or other religious practices at the 50 yard lines of their football fields or similar areas

I don't even think we've come close to hitting the bottom on this economic downturn. Personally, I believe that this recession is going to be the worst one since the Great Depression.

By the same token, we both are grown up enough to know that if Muslims or Satanists tried to do prayers at sporting and other public events akin to how Christians do, that there would be a massive uproar amongst those Christian groups.

Btw, most people don't know that coal and natural gas plants produce on the order of 100x more nuclear waste than comparable sized nuclear power plants. And unlike nuclear power plants, fossil fuel plants release their radioactivity via emissions and disposal of radioactive fly ash directly into the environment almost unobstructed, unlike nuclear waste containment at nuclear power plants. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-radioactive-than-nuclear-waste/

I was referring to the differences in nuclear waste generated by nuclear fusion and nuclear fission, which you originally raised as a concern. Learning about fusion and fission was a big portion of the physics courses I was required to take back in uni. Fusion itself is relatively clean; the main byproducts are helium and tritium, which can be reused as fuel in the fusion reaction itself, so very little in the way of waste there. The main source of waste in fusion is via neutron irradiation of the cladding inside the reactor itself, which is still significantly less than fission reactors. The main reason why fission reactors of the past generated so much waste was because they were breeder reactors. They served the dual purpose of energy production and enrichment for nuclear weapons. Newer reactors designs like molten salt or thorium reactors don't generally have breeding capabilities, which limits the amount of waste generated. Some of these reactor designs can even be fueled by existing nuclear waste, which allows the current waste to be converted into much more stable and shorter lived isotopes. So, idk why you were being all defensive and calling me "smug" when that wasn't my intention; I was just pointing out the differences between fusion and fission.

Being a sleeper worked out pretty well for Kamala Harris, so it's not a bad strategy on the surface.

I wonder if I should increase my stake in ruble holding EFTs? Gotta pad my 401k during this upcoming recession.

To be honest, at this point, I don't care if he showed his brown snake to these masseuses at all. The more important question is how many yards Watson can throw for after the pocket collapses.

Well, good news for these protesters is that they're in no danger of getting pregnant anytime soon, so no abortion required. They look like they're sticky to the touch.

Let's be honest: if everything on the eastern seaboard south of Maine and north of North Carolina floods, what exactly are we losing?
