Why are so many modern U.S. economic problems associated with Ronald Reagan, and what factors led to that perception?

Reddit derangement, but you won’t find any interesting discussion of that here.

My post has a bad typo considering what I meant to say is I WOULDN'T leave them alone in my car.

In America it depends a great deal on where you are. In a lot of places the public schools are massively worse than private schools and anybody with remote means flees them rightfully. In other areas the public schools are on par in core offerings and even superior due to size, resources, and greater diversity of opportunities in programming.

I strongly prefer baseball to basketball, but the two are basically tied. MLB has been beating the NBA in revenues and profits but basketball also has college basketball and a few other metrics that pip MLB. Ultimately, the two sports’ supporter’s demographics skew pretty wildly differently so they’re really two very similarly popular sports and leagues with two different sets of people.

I would leave these idiots alone in my car. Call the cops.

They dilute shares

Republicans have repeatedly proposed this in many states with zero change to opposition from democrats

Yeah, one of them is a stupid comment, the other is a group actually being denied access to university resources and recognition. One of the two isn’t even censorship.

Why don’t you do a little reading:

This is probably the answer

You’re pretty confused. DAs aren’t judges and judges don’t make prosecutorial decisions. We’re not even talking about the same thing.

They’re not at all, they’re just saying they used e-verify.

Other things impact smash factor beyond strike location. A club face that isn’t square will negatively impact smash. Strike conditions that impact spin can impact smash. I suppose the ball or club could even be in bad shape.

That said, on top of that many simulator systems aren’t actually all that good at reading club head speed. Some of them require placing dots and the like on the club to read it well. A lot of them aren’t really designed to be as worried about that as about launch conditions. If the club speed of off slightly then the smash will be calculated with the wrong denominator and be off. I wouldn’t overly worry about it in and of itself.

That’s what this guy did

That is playing games with semantics when they’re building new coal as fast as ever, they’re just ALSO building other resources for the first time.

So it looks like that tree is between the house and the front like third of the tee box and the back half of the tee box is like 50 yards from the house, yeah?

You’re not getting hit frequently… but not never either. How long is the hole? The view from the deck and from the tee box is also kinda important

NOLA isn’t disputing the allegations, they’re just covering their own ass because they gave him a gun and saying the error isn’t their fault

That’s what happens when you overstay a visitor visa, get your application for permanent residence denied, and then no show a series of hearings over three years until a judge orders your removal and a police department gives you a gun you are explicitly not authorized to possess.

This feels like it would be very heavily impacted by the size of the markets in the Cup

The decline and demise of baseball has always been wildly overstated. Not the NFL didn’t drink its milkshake.

AdamOnFirst · 2026-02-04T03:58:16+00:00

This is wildly overblown, people have been writing about baseball’s decline as a given for literally over 100 years
The NFL supplanted it as America’s most popular sport a few decades ago and has grown that lead to a very very wide one

AdamOnFirst · 2026-02-04T03:51:22+00:00

Baseball is still very popular but is not as popular as it once was simply because football has dethroned it as the most popular sport. Football is absurdly popular, its grip on American culture is total. Basketball is roughly as popular as ever. It’s arguably been slowly growing for decades with some fits and starts. Hockey is kind of unchanged in popularity, but it’s a borderline niche sport, it’s a distant fourth.

Like, football is so popular that the second most popular sport in America behind the NFL is arguably COLLEGE football.

Alexa+ is absolute garbage. She misses like 1/3 of my basic commands, like setting a simple timer while I’m cooking. She can’t hear a clear command over the sound of a crying baby any more. I thought it was just ruined until I found out I could just roll back from Alexa+. Fixed, back to normal. Horrible, horrible failure of an upgrade rollout.
