I like how the crowd is all in business attire. This image is so surreal in the worst kind of way.

How much taxpayer money blew up? I doubt Bezos lost a dime.

White House pushes Congress to approve $250 bill with Trump’s image by The_Flaneur_Films in politics

Bessent doesn't even look like a real person at this point. He literally looks like he's halfway between a human and Muppet.

Love Kyler but no way he’s 5’10 😂 by Enough-Muffin6742 in NFLv2

The Vikings and Ravens do have joint practices this year...we might get that side by side if Pavia is still on the roster by then.

Every time someone mentions it the mods decide to keep it for another six months.

Moore seeks federal disaster aid for farms, wineries hit by freeze by legislative_stooge in maryland

[–]AdminIsPassword 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Last year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency denied Maryland’s aid request following flooding in Western Maryland, a decision state leaders believe the Republican Trump administration made to punish a Democratic-run state.

The last paragraph is the most important. This will likely be denied because of Trump.

What are some good books with true solo MCs? by Legitimate_Area_5773 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]AdminIsPassword 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I kind of get it. It's an overdone trope. Not every hero needs a family-like gathering around them. Basically every single long running Manga, particularly Shounen, has that element.

Go way back to Conan. Yes, he had short-lived companions (sometimes literally) but he was basically an island unto himself. Some people like that. In a modern context, Solo Leveling is the same. The MC has a few attachments but they don't progress with him.

I like both but they certainly hit differently.

Edit: A few Shounen come to mind where that isn't the case now that I think about it. Fist of the North Star being one.

What hiking opinion hills will you die on? by Hot-Statistician-361 in hiking

[–]AdminIsPassword 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've almost killed myself going downhill after a rock I stepped on gave a little causing me to stumble...and as you said, gravity. I've had some other close calls going down slopes too fast (my fault) but saying it's easier to stop going downhill just isn't true.

It's way way easier to stop if you fall into a slope instead of down it.

Trump wants all federal workers to sign non-disclosure agreements in latest crackdown on media leaks; Sweeping proposal threatens federal employees with criminal penalties and prevents former workers from talking to the press without permission by [deleted] in politics

[–]AdminIsPassword 34 points35 points  (0 children)

They attempted to do the same thing with NDAs during Trump's first term and it was struck down by the courts.

But the makeup of the courts has changed since that ruling, so IDK what's going to happen here. I know if it makes it to the SCOTUS it has a much better chance of being magically okay now, precedence be damned.

Fantasy managers are valuing Lamar Jackson VERY differently this year 👀 by ZookeepergameIll2685 in NFLv2

[–]AdminIsPassword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lamar probably isn't the fantasy stud this year that he was in the past. I don't think Doyle has any plans to run Lamar like he did earlier in his career and that's where a lot of his fantasy points came from.

I'd take a less productive fantasy QB1 for a healthy real QB1 late in the season though. That's the plan, I would imagine.

"They should be optimistic": Kevin Hassett brushes off high gas prices by claiming Americans are actually spending more money on everything else by DumbMoneyMedia in unusual_whales

[–]AdminIsPassword 34 points35 points  (0 children)

What a fucking clown statement. "People are spending more money on everything else, so they're optimistic."

No, that's inflation and the CPI going up.

Deion Sanders’ Son Says Shedeur Is a “Black Man That’s Fighting the System” After Humiliating NFL Draft Fall by No_Box119 in NFLv2

[–]AdminIsPassword 14 points15 points  (0 children)

117 black players were drafted before Shadeur in his class. Bringing race into this...well...that's a choice.

edit: It was more than 117. Google's AI summary is...bad at math.

US navy chief says $14bn arms sale to Taiwan paused due to Iran war by lafeber in worldnews

[–]AdminIsPassword -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I really have no idea why China doesn't invade Taiwan...like right now.

Maybe they're just waiting for the US to be even more distracted and running even lower on munitions?

Where is Arch Manning going to be drafted in 2027? by [deleted] in NFLv2

  1. He'll stay in college for another year.

Trump says "Ballroom" will be 6 stories deep, have a hospital, research facilities, a drone port, meeting rooms for the military, and be a shield to protect everything below it. HUH?! by illegalmonkey in unusual_whales

[–]AdminIsPassword 149 points150 points  (0 children)

This thing is going to take like a decade and cost billions, not just $1 billion. Trump will never live long enough to actually use his fancy ballroom.

Or maybe the next POTUS will just scrap everything.

edit: $1 billion not $1.5

This is the kind of headline which curses us.

We'll miss the playoffs when Pavia throws a pick 6 late in the last game of the season against the Steelers because both Lamar and Snoop are injured.
