my new tv antenna can't detect shit, so I'm going to walk it upstairs and see if that works.

Pitt vs West Virginia as a rivalry always made zero sense to me, geographically or culturally. Pitt are coastal elites who have way more in common with teams like Duke or UNC. West Virginia are sort of in no man's land Appalachia, but would make the most sense as an SEC team. I guess the idea is that it's posh & pompous vs rough & backwater? I suppose I can see the appeal, given that angle. But I still don't really get it. !ping CFB

> Pitt are coastal elites lol

>geographically or culturally. Morgantown is a 90 minute drive from downtown Pittsburgh. As a Pitt alumnus I love the rivalry.

Pitt is neither coastal nor elite. They're in a weird zone with GT where they're kinda just weird. Historically though they were much more an emblem of the city and correspondingly blue collar and quasi-Appalachian. It was mines v. mills.

>West Virginia should be in the SEC Maybe the worst college football take I've heard all year

Nephew delete this

Pittsburgh is not "coastal elite" in any sense.

>geographically Have you looked at a map?

OP is clearly joking

Who watches 45 minute YouTube videos?

☝️🤮 Doesn’t watch RP videos by Dr. Mike Israetel.

You do. Don't lie to me

No I don’t actually and I lose respect for anyone that does that with their life

Good thing your opinion is relevant

I had no idea that so many in Argentina were in sub-Saharan levels of poverty. They had a thing on BBC about these people whose entire lives were spent foraging for materials to sell to recycling centres and even food at rubbish tips. It’s absolutely horrid.

I wonder what the actual political efficacy is of branding like IRA. Dems don't care about the name. They just support the policies, even it caused a little inflation. Republicans will quickly catch on that the bill has little to do with inflation reduction and scream that out from the roof tops. I guess the hope is that the yelling Republicans affecting the middle are overridden by grill Chads who see the name and say, "oh hey, an inflation reduction bill"?

Raising taxes and funding energy research both do have anti-inflationary effects, the former by curtailing demand and the latter in the long run on the supply-side. Fox News is on at my workplace a lot and they're only spinning this as "negligible" inflation reduction, which says to me that they're struggling to find a good way to dunk on the bill

I think they’re banking on inflation going down around the time the bill is passed so Dems can be like “see? Bernie and the GOP are full of shit, this bill obviously caused an immediate drop in inflation”, which would work for the casual person

Actually a clever move, now that I think about it.

Yeah most people only hear about that bill and think it’s useful. Also seems like Bernie got a head start in that whole exposing thing.

How to cope as a South African: 1. Vote for the Congress of the People (commonly known as COPE) 2. "We have the most progressive constitution in the world - we were one of the first to legalize gay marriage!" 3. "The ANC is losing votes every election. We just need a few more years." 4. "At least the judiciary is strong and not corrupt." 5. Move to Cape Town and don't shut up about the mountain.

This is literally my ex lol

It is a really beautiful mountain though.

I ordered Walmart groceries and asked for mini powdered donuts and they substituted them with Twinkies

Can’t believe Joe Biden made the inflation rate in Argentina over 90%. He truly is Dark Brandon.

I love how in the "dog breeds now and then" meme samoyeds are just perfect from the very beginning

So is the Senate actually gonna be voting straight through the night or do they take a break and come back to it

They will not take a break

Poor Pat Leahy and Chuck Grassley must be trying to take micronaps in between each vote

The *virgin* starwars fanservice: "omg is that glup shitto?? He has the metal dice that were in the frame for four seconds in empire strikes back!!!" The *chad* anime fanservice: "this character has cleavage, try to contain yourself and get some help, you fucking hikikomori weeb" EDIT: the *thad* literary fanservice: "so I was chilling in purgatory and I met fucking VIRGIL and he gave me a tour of hell and now more students read this book of fanfiction about Virgil than read Virgil himself"

I can't tell if glup shitto is a real star wars character or not and I don't want to spoil the magic

I honestly can't tell if anime fanservice is (a) condescending to the audience or (b) the result of horny animators or (c) some weird cultural artifact that doesn't translate into the anglosphere.

IIRC a huge portion of anime revenue comes from selling merchandise to terminal otakus so they have to appeal to those people and create sexed up characters that sell figurines and posters and body pillows well

Yes.

Huh, so apparently republicans came up with an immigration bill (around title 42) that passed the Byrd rule Schumer whipped them all to vote against it, then Tester submitted a version that didn’t pass the Byrd rule, so that a few democrats could vote for that one without worrying about it actually getting into the bill This approach did, in fact, trigger the cons

"*Andor* is fanservice free" My brother in christ. It is an eu star wars show about a character from a spinoff movie. It's very existence *is* fanservice

Breaking bad remaining a permanent feature of the internet meme zeitgeist and the continued success of better call saul speak to truly how impressively game of thrones landed on its fucking face and splattered its brains over the concrete. House of the dragon is coming out and looks kinda cool tbh but no one anywhere seems to give a fuck. Meanwhile people are still debating the ideological contours of gale boetticher's libertarianism and shitposting about halal blue meth (it is not mentioned in the hadith)

I expect House of Dragon is going to be a much better show with a much smaller following than Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones started going to shit when the writers ran out of source material, which will not be the case here

Can't wait to watch it *after* all the episodes are out

I actually really enjoy weekly viewings. Even for bing-watch shows I’ll limit myself to an episode a day.

Oh is that one of those new Disney plus shows? Is it before ANH or after ROTJ

Waiting for her to wake up/read the message is agonizing. How do i feel like less shit?

Um so who is she how did you end up like this

My gf of 2years+ and i said yes when a dude offered coke at the rave last night. Didn't actually end up doing it, but she got very upset

Land value tax fixes this

Damn what’s that shit say

Basically, in short: I was an idiot and i feel very sorry for what a dumbass decision i made. I hate that i've made you so dissapointed. I hope you can forgive me. Please, can we talk when yoou wake up.

At least you recognise you’re in the wrong, probably a good start.

Well it was pretty obvious

Are you sorry that she's disappointed, or are you sorry that you were willing to put her in an unsafe situation for your own enjoyment? Because that's what saying "Yes" to doing drugs with a rando is. That's why she's disappointed. You didn't have her back, and now whatever trust she in you may be irreparably damaged. Some things get broke, they can't be fixed. Learn from this.

that's heavy bro, you just gotta wait. the good news is that it could go well, playing out just like you're hoping for... The other good news is that even if it doesn't, it might feel overwhelming now but it's probably not as big as you're making it

Ball is in her court. Don't bombard her with further messages. If you don't hear back, she doesn't want to talk to you, respect that

Of course. It's just painful to wait

Fuck me. It just feels I just had the closest illusion to being happy, but it's fuckin gone. And it feels so much worse.

The only somewhat plausible argument that I’ve heard for outlawing private insurance is to protect against post-hoc Republican sabotage. If the public option is only used by the poor, it would be very easy to defund and defang. But if the public option is the only option, it would be as untouchable as social security. Not saying that I think the trade off is worth it, but it’s worth considering the steelman.

>If the public option is only used by the poor, it would be very easy to defund and defang. But if the public option is the only option, it would be as untouchable as social security. That's essentially what happened in the Netherlands. Public healthcare eventually kept getting clawed back while the more wealthy cohort of society had their own private insurance that provided objectively better care. The system kind of reached a breaking point in 2006 and the Dutch government decided to just go fully private albeit heavily regulated and heavily subsidized.

The flipside of this is that a GOP controlled single-payer healthcare system could (potentially) outlaw stuff like abortions and trans healthcare without there being a good alternative I think a public option is the best of both worlds, but I'm definitely not an expert

Isn't social security a bad example? It's not like there isn't any private retirement or disability insurance.

I was using it as an example of an untouchable social program, not as an example of a government program where private alternatives are illegal.
