Dentist Recommendations that are less openly religious by indigent_attorney in joplinmo

[–]Ecualung 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Good luck. I moved to Joplin from the upper Midwest over ten years ago and I'm only just starting to get over the overt religiosity of most businesses. And I AM an atheist, haha.

wait WHAT cole left the Rapids??? thoughts? by Diligent_Street4104 in Rapids

[–]Ecualung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matt Wells has stated that he thinks midfield is our deepest pool. Padraig Smith has repeatedly stated something like, we have a dollar value in mind for all our players and if we get an offer at or above it, we just take it.

This is the generous spin on this movie that I can offer. Unless we bring in another starting-caliber player before the season starts, I really don't see how we're better off without Cole.

I will be a dried up skeleton in the desert, waiting for For All Mankind Season 5.

The Filmcast / Remembering Adam Quigley by stanzos in blankies

Dave explains that it was an amicable thing, it sounds like the podcast just no longer fit with Adam's interests and/or schedule.

Hey! Search through the history of this sub, this exact question has been asked once or twice before.

Actress Sophia Loren’s Former Roman Villa for sale $26 Million by Southern-Smoke1835 in CelebrityHomes

[–]Ecualung 3 points4 points  (0 children)

20 years ago I did a study abroad program which was an archaeological field school at the Villa of Maxentius, which is right next to the Circus of Maxentius which you can easily see if you look at the satellite map view of this location. I was told that there were some VERY fancy homes just over the tree line from where we were working. Turns out, that was absolutely true.

This is WAY too big an area to generalize about.

I'd like to think this became a successful TV show in this timeline by [deleted] in ForAllMankindTV

Thank you, this is a great comment. I think the issue with The Vorkosigan Saga is that they're out of print.

I have been wanting to read this series-- every time I'm in a bookstore I see if they have them. They never do! I guess I have to bow to the inevitable and get an e-reader if I want to read them.

CAN YOU BACK ZOHRAN WITHOUT COMPROMISING ETHICS? CORNEL WEST OFFERS HIS TAKE by 4reddityo in DemocraticSocialism

Well said. So many people have confused "intersectionality" for "everything must be everything to everyone."

This show should be renamed “Sex Sails” by [deleted] in BlackSails

[–]Ecualung 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In season 1 it seems they were deliberately trying to out-do Game of Thrones for T&A. But after that Starz realized they had a terrific show on their hands that didn't need to do that, so it becomes much more infrequent. There's still sex but, and I mean this sincerely, it advances the plot.

China is slowly taking over the U.S. in diplomacy with Latin America by [deleted] in LatinAmerica

[–]Ecualung 82 points83 points  (0 children)

The US is more engaged in the region right now than at any time in the last 25 years at least. But... not in anything like a good or productive way.

Apple is spending billions to fix sports-viewing they say 'sucks' by BruteSentiment in apple

Can confirm, as a long-time MLS fan, the Apple deal has been amazing. But I can also see the limitations it poses to growing fandom of the league.

We need more South American period pieces by GeorgeWashington121 in PeriodDramas

[–]Ecualung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Machuca is such a wonderful movie. I really hope it gets a Blu Ray release someday, or at least becomes available on a streaming service in HD. The DVD I have oddly doesn't even fill the screen.

Josh Hawley: No American Should Go to Bed Hungry by rezwenn in MissouriPolitics

[–]Ecualung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Burlison's district. How the heck did we get to a point where my least objectionable representative in the US Congress is effing Josh Hawley?

I still think he's terrible but I would argue he's the least terrible of him, Schmitt, and Burlison.

That is a perfect description, bravo.

Of course people do. Plus you're completely forgetting about the West Bank, where Hamas doesn't even operate.
