I dunno. If I think about how many of my friends were sports betting 15 years ago vs today it’s at least 10x today. I feel like that was caused by market availability not a change in demand. They would’ve always bet if it was this easy to do and if it becomes hard again they’ll stop.

More legalized. Lobbying was already legalized bribery. Citizens United was just them making sure they get to pick who they bribe.

Yes, technically it’s known as Might Makes Right, or We Have The Bigger Stick. Very similar to Give Me Your Lunch Money or I’ll Beat You Up.

He’s probably thinking he would have to take them off to shower, but this is actually one of the many benefits of Crocs.

It’s supposed to 75° here on Christmas. I wonder if that trend has anything to do with it?

Penetration itself can be viewed as an act of violence and the government should probably put everyone who has thought about it on a surveillance list.

Citizens United made it worse, but we were fucked before then. Lobbying is just legalized bribery. We need to repeal Citizens United but then we need to keep going and rework the whole campaign finance and lobbying systems too.

Yeah Nissan has been shit for 20 years, not surprising that it’s catching up to them.

It kind of sounds like a form of exposure therapy.

I was not able to read this, as I am an idiot, but I upvoted just for the effort.

Can’t have people seeing what’s behind the mask.

Howard Zinn’s People’s History starts by describing the early years after the colonizers appearance. It’s a tough read.

Nice to know!

He’ll probably get a big payout from the taxpayers, and the crooked cops will just keep on copping.

Especially one that is currently collaborating to help carry out a genocide.

It’s not weird. I would affirm yourself that they did not do everything right, and the things you’re angry about you have good reason to be. But let the anger and hate fade. They were probably trying their best. And the older you get the more you realize that we are all winging it. Now that you are an adult you can set healthy boundaries and interact with them on your own terms.

There’s some stockholm syndrome between children and parents and I think it’s natural to get angry as you move past that. But as an adult you can have a relationship with them where you see them more as flawed peers than omnipotent parents. Of course not everyone will want to have that relationship, but if you can and want to then I think it’s worth it.

I don’t know why people are giving Kegsbreath shit.

Say it’s 11:00 a.m. on a Tuesday, you’re working on a nice buzz, would you rather be surrounded by fat slobby beardos or some smooth faced hardbodies? Easy choice, not weird at all. I hope we get pec size and bun hardness test for gen pop too, can’t have pete hoggin all the smooth hardbods.

Well things change, I guess supporting genocide is moderate these days.
