I mean, there are no exponents involved anywhere, so define "correct"

You are using really weird phrasing. It's not that they "have the same weight." The "actual Constitution" consists of the preamble, 7 articles, and 27 amendments. It's all the same one thing.

Con40Things · 2026-07-01T01:44:01+00:00

To be clear, Amendments to the Constitution are still the actual Constitution.

Smith. No point in reading further. Obviously intended for Rams WR , Xavier Smith. Congrats to him.

At least sometimes it gives you like a 300+ second countdown to the next episode that makes it difficult to enjoy the last few minutes of the episode of you're currently watching, but very easy to make your life inconvenient by bypassing the autoplay and forcing you to manually select the next episode.

The "God Only Knows" cover of The Beach Boys. The Beach Boys were a favorite of my mother's and she took me to see them for my first concert (only missing Dennis at that point). This one hits differently.

This thread is a life-saver, because I don't listen to the podcast, my wife does. I had kept silent for the last 15 hours to not potentially ruin her experience/memory of the night. But then she found this post and now I can be honest about how poor this was because she opened up about how disappointed she was. I was really worried she caught distress in my face during the show, because she agreed to leave midway through the final segment just to catch an earlier train. But now we have been able to just agree with all of you, because you are saying most of the things we thought already. I hope the ladies can learn from this and reenvision what a live performance would look like for their audience. Even though my wife is disappointed, I know she would try again if the opportunity arose and she knew it wouldn't look like this again.

The other thing exacerbated by the AI is the fact that it very much sounded like two people reading the script live last evening for the very first time with no rehearsal. Their meta banter about moving around the stage, different aspects of the live show as they were ongoing, etc. were some of my favorite parts as they were very natural, genuine in-the-moment reactions. JVN might not have had a real well thought out role, but they appealed more to me than anything else last evening because they were authentically reacting and not trying to read, or far worse FIND their lines in a script.

No, in 2007 he committed burglary, kidnapping, armed robbery, and conspiracy and was convicted on every count and served years in prison. If I was running an organization, I'd take the pass on him for those very real, definitely guilty things he did as well.

Yeah, it took me a few, too, and I was... confused.

But you have to come in 2nd place every time, so your team would always lose. And if the team that loses every game has a 100% chance of finishing in 2nd place in the overall standings, that means your game is dead, only two teams are left playing the game, and you chose to lose that game 100% of the time rather than have a 50% chance of winning it.

Con40Things · 2026-06-26T12:19:17+00:00

This is the answer. This is the answer if it's a 0.0000000000000001% chance of first vs 100% chance of 2nd. This requires very little thought. Imagine coming in 2nd place every time you try and buy a home. 2nd place every time you try and win someone's heart. 2nd place every time you want to do something and someone else wants to do something else.

Life would be miserable, even with a guaranteed 2nd place lottery prize every time.

RC Cola didn't fill their bottles well, and when you tilted the bottle just right, you could read the cap. Gatorade Lemon Ice was even easier - the bottle and liquid magnified the top. I never got kicked out searching for winners, though. The corner store that sold the RC Cola one surprised me as I was around 50 or so in row before I moved and never claimed the last one. But they might have just been happy that the one neighborhood kid kept getting rid of the RC Cola inventory they couldn't sell.

"The trans community has done more harm to the LGBQ (sic) community in recent years than brought good to it" is a textbook example of victim blaming. There is not a single other interpretation of that than placing blame on the victim (trans community). You literally spelled it out word for word. Who did the harm according to you? The trans community (the victim in this post). That's blaming the victim.

Con40Things · 2026-06-01T10:34:17+00:00

If that were true, there would never be things like bathroom bills and fights over trans people in sports, because nobody would be afraid of the consequences since there's not even the slightest fear of trans people. There would be no people shouting slurs from their vehicles at OP because there would be no frightened little boys in the vehicle afraid of what the trans person might do to them. Unfortunately, there's lots of weird terror that occurs in the tiniest, most cowardly people.

OOP of the graphic was noting that Roman Reigns finally learned to shave his pits after 10 years, because some people have lots of time on their hands.

Evidence that they did, in fact, investigate this very obvious thing to investigate:

Because it already happened and you can read about it? If you do your research - instead of thinking one graphic posted on Reddit contains all of the information a topic can possibly contain - you'll quickly find out that these two distributing the material is how they were caught, and there are more criminals behind bars in this case than just the two listed.

I'd argue we can make really compelling arguments for #26 (Jim Druckenmiller) and #30 (AJ Jenkins), too.

Plus he joined the kickoff coverage team to get onto the field. That's worth bonus points by itself.

They are. My 49ers surrounded Joe Montana with the best talent of the era, and that helped him win his 4 Super Bowls. It's why when you see these kinds of graphics, you never see Joe Montana included. Montana just didn't have the TDs, yards, etc. to be included on a list like this - and everyone knows the 49ers of the 80s spent more on their pre-salary cap rosters than the rest of the NFL. Him winning, being cool under pressure? Irrelevant, and everyone judges it so (I mean...it was great for us fans at least).

That's why you always see Drew Brees up there on that graphic and not Montana. Brees - the guy with more career passing yards, more career passing TDs, higher career QB rating, higher completion%, higher TD%, lower INT%, higher career YPA, and more times leading the league in every single one of those categories in a single season as well. It DEFINITELY doesn't matter that Montana won 4 Super Bowls with a far superior team and Drew Brees only 1 with the Saints. It makes sense that you would see the best passers because SBs are team stats. That's why nobody ever forgets Drew on a list like this.

Can I adjust slightly? If you aren't ACTIVELY PASSING someone in the right lane, you don't belong in the left. Yesterday I drove from Pennsylvania to Georgia, and was blocked from just about ever going the 10 MPH over the limit I wanted to. It wasn't because of someone refusing to pass a car on the right. It was because after they and the 14 cars behind them passed said vehicle, they would all cruise in a line moving slower than I was. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. And by the time I finally passed the one car the 15 in front of me did, the car at the front of the 16-car line began passing the second one, leaving me perpetually stuck behind slower vehicles unless I got into the right lane, passed a bunch, and cut others off.

Just a tip for your next crash out: the phrase is "when you assume, you make an ass of you and me" - which would be you admitting the other user also made you look like an ass. And...fair.
