A friend and I talk a lot about how the beauty of money (small m) is that it allows you to buy your way out of problems. Car broke down? You can afford to fix it.

But it seems with very rich people, the inability for money to "fix" a situation - like mortality - to their liking is THE problem.

This is the problem with these conferences being too big for a true round robin.

Indiana has looked like world beaters on offense.

Ohio State's D has been lights out most of the year.

We'll find out in a month or so.

The current rankings are meaningless. As usual.
I don't really understand Ohio State ahead of Indiana other than just "I think they're better."

Indiana is the only team with two top-20 road wins. The resume is clearly better.

It ultimately doesn't matter because they'll play each other, but it's not consistent.

But I'm not here to "argue" with people who are knowledgeable about a topic.

I'm here to learn from them and also just talk about sports. Have a shared experience when big things are happening like CFB Saturdays and the World Series.

Not everything needs to be "deep discourse".
For me, the ability to learn from and occasionally even argue with folks who are knowledgeable and care about a niche topic, and see others who are interested weigh in, all without the risk of IRL fisticuffs is.. maybe not quite, but almost, the whole point of this particular social media format.

So many examples of every day life that get fucked up every time Republicans slash budgets and bin legislation.

"Want to rely on food that won't poison you? You need laws with teeth and inspectors with the training and education to force corporations to follow those laws. That's the government!"
Despite over 70 years of gop propaganda, Americans actually like big government services — because it makes their lives better. Democrats should stop operating like the gop’s anti government stance is popular, and instead go pro government outside of health care and education.

"Can Donald Trump run for a 3rd term?"
No.
"What if he..."
Still no.
"How about..."
STFU, No.
"Then why are we talking about it!?"
Because evil MAGA apparatchiks need you to fear that he will.

Why Has Trump Been Flirting With a Third Term?
Trump cannot be president again. But he and his loyal followers have every reason for wanting to make people think he can.

Tell me what trans folks are supposed to do in this circumstance.
Hey champ, quick question:

Did Dr. King encourage African Americans to boycott elections because both parties were implicated by white supremacy?

Or did he urge his followers to vote for the lesser of two evils and then use their presence to extract concessions from politicians as a result?

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

I get this. BUT...

It is hard to not feel resigned when shit like this is occurring and the levers of control are firmly in their hands.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.
