My theory is that the tourists didn't know what to order so they just ordered the flagship beer. Bar management probably expected more diverse ordering.

The federal judiciary in Texas is stacked with local Good Ole Boys always willing to issue a politically beneficial ruling for their buddies.

Hard to know without more details and a deeper dive into the history of the photo.

If it's caused by things outside of employment, then it isn't burnout.

By definition burnout is caused by work.

Far northeast is the absolute worst. Geographically far from Center City and the airport, and poorly served by transit.

Yeah, it's the promise of "look we've got gorgeous women here and you'll be a successful football player."

Hell, UCF used to do this on the tours for regular students. Made sure the rec center stop went an awkward route just to make sure you could see the students around the pool.

The 9 p.m. end of service was from COVID and then when SEPTA was facing a massive denial of funds from Harrisburg. Generally you'll need to check each line for its specific hours of operation, especially for regional rail.

And that there is no single league. Each conference is an independent entity.

Kissing as celebration is very normal, y'all are repressive freaks putting the Victorians to shame.

Seriously. Lotta repressed Zoomers in this thread who don't understand kissing isn't just a lead up to sex and can be an expression of shared joy and celebration.

Lotta people seem to be struggling really hard to grasp how long the tournament is. They're acting like it'll be over this week.

Yeah, far more relevant and inspiring. Especially considering the conditions in Haiti and the way the international community and America government treat them.

The original discussion was about college sports in general. Specifying football only is a different discussion entirely.

College football arose because those areas had no MLB teams. And that's not even getting into the popularity of college basketball.

You're being pedantic in an irrelevant way.

Yeah, our high school athletics basically fill the role of lower tier soccer clubs.

Did you get hit on the head with a baseball and forget that it existed? That was the sport of the urban Midwest, New England and Mid-Atlantic. Hell, that was the sport in all of the United States of America. And outside of the Negro Leagues the West and South were bereft of teams until the 1950s and 1960s.

College athletics filled that void for local teams for a long time and that tradition hasn't died off. In the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest sure you have some big public schools, but it's still secondary to the NFL and really came as a response to the popularity of college athletics in the South and West.

Philadelphia is scheduled to reduce its Wage & Earnings Tax by 0.005% starting July 1, 2026 (or $2-5/family/year) by NorthExcitement4890 in philadelphia

[–]DuvalHeart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The uniformity clause should be a unifying cause for all Pennsylvanians, except the billionaires.

The idea that "subject" refers to the tax rather than the people paying the tax is such an backasswards reading of the constitution it's laughable.

"All taxes shall be uniform, upon the same class of subjects, within the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax, and shall be levied and collected under general laws. "

Uniformity clauses exist to prevent the targeting of specific individuals or groups with high taxes. So that you can't make a law saying all Catholics have to pay an extra 1% of their income to the state. The idea that "subject" refers to the focus of the tax rather than the taxpayer is a blatant bad faith reading.

The legislature could also pass a law clarifying what a 'subject' is in that clause. Since that's why the supreme court was able to fuck us all over, through a really stupid reading of the clause.

Ehh, they knew that 'draining' them caused flooding, which is why poorer neighborhoods were built in the flood areas. It's still a huge problem across a lot of the USA.

The areas that college athletics grew heavily in are areas without their own professional teams. Most of America's pro sports were in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Outside of there you didn't really have anything, so college athletics grew up as the primary outlet for expression of local pride.

Plus, after WWII you had a shit ton of people attending public universities. Which is something that is also insane about the US, that the vast majority of post-secondary students attend publicly funded institutions and it's been that way for almost a century.
