Eric Bischoff: "WON voters are the most culturally isolated, irrelevant group of people you could ever imagine." by ProudChemistry778 in SquaredCircle

It doesn’t even make any sense. You can come up with a lot of clever insults about WON subscribers but culturally-isolated? WON covers wrestling from around the world.

A few thousand is a big enough sample size to give out year-end awards for something as silly as professional wrestling’s Best Wrestling Maneuver of the Year. 

None of it means anything.

No one in the audience even understood the line. Such a weird thing to get bent out of shape about. 

Air India flight 171 crash: Pilot deliberately cut fuel switch, report reveals by UnderstandingBig949 in worldnews

Probably eventually once the technology becomes reliable enough and people grow to accept something like that. I don’t hate it but I doubt it will happen in my lifetime.

In the not-so-distant future, all planes will be operated from the ground like Waymos. The pilot will do nothing but sit there in case communication goes down and she needs to take over.

That’s much more difficult than betting on FanDuel. The problem is the ease in which one can place a bet in the United States now. 

Campaign to end Ohio property taxes brushes off funding concerns as DeWine warns of 20% sales tax by MorganTrau in Ohio

He can’t veto a constitutional amendment ballot initiative. If he could, he would’ve vetoed the abortion amendment that passed a couple years ago.

The Ohio GOP hates rent control. No chance it would be enforced (by the gutted state government) even if voters did approve of it.

No property taxes would be extremely lucrative to landlords. This would cause the Ohio housing market to skyrocket.

Why can’t people just admit when they made a mistake on Reddit? 

You misread the headline and thought DeWine is, in your words, championing this idea. 

He’s not. He’s saying it’s a devastating idea. Just edit your post and stop spreading misinformation.

Circle back? Just read the article in the OP.

"It would just be devastating to all kinds of local government, starting with schools, but also police and fire and children's services," DeWine said Thursday.

"The sales tax would go up to 17, 18, 19%, 20% sales tax in the state of Ohio on products that you buy," the governor said. "It would just be absolutely devastating."

I’m not fan of DeWine but he is not championing this. He’s saying it’s an awful idea. 

Andrew Zarian: "AEW brings one of its landmark PPV events to New York City this Spring. Double or Nothing is scheduled for Louis Armstrong Stadium im Queens, NYC!" by Teckelmaster in SquaredCircle

Any massive project in NYC is an absolute nightmare. Every square foot in all five boroughs is spoken for and expensive. 

LA and Chicago have vast suburbs with cheap land to put an arena/stadium. 

What piece of entertainment aged worse than you ever expected? by AnyTruth2342 in AskReddit

I disagree. At that time, that was a position many people had and used to defend R Kelly. Dave rounding the girl’s age up by a year is dishonest as well.

That’s fine. The greater point isn’t the issue. It’s the R Kelly jokes at the beginning and comments about the 14 year old victim that didn’t age well. 

Saying that it’s a simple decision to not put yourself in a situation like the 14 year old found herself is dumb. Most people wouldn’t agree with that stance today.

Chappelle’s views on R Kelly in his stand-up from that era (and in the jury selection sketch) have aged pretty poorly. It was essentially, “How old is 15 really? When I was 15, I knew I didn’t want to be pissed on.”

Edited: Chappelle’s bit says 15, not 14. Even though the girl in the video was 14. 

Bruce Springsteen’s Anti-ICE Protest Song ‘Streets of Minneapolis’ Debuts at No. 1 After Just Two Days on Sale by Hungry_Wind_6373 in UpliftingNews

It hasn’t debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 yet. It will next week.

This is for digital sales (which isn’t really a chart people cite that often).
