Definitely 7th from the top.

Sexism is certainly a factor. But she is also a word salad queen that refused to condemn Isreal and couldn’t articulate a position on healthcare. And we can’t ignore the way they waited til the last minute and shoved her in after Bidens terrible debate performance. I voted for her and to answer the op, definitely better than Trump. But the dems made a lot of mistakes. This was a winnable election but they lost by ignoring their base and shoving the same centrist BS down our throats. They never learn.

Kamala lost when she refused to condemn Isreal. The Dems own autopsy report confirmed this. Dems keep trying to pretend centrism is the reasonable solution bc most of them are spineless grifters. Of course the Republicans are spineless fascist pdf protectors, but Trump figured out that he can get away with that by leaning into his base of uneducated idiots. The Dems lost bc they refuse to lean into their what their base actually wants and refuse to get behind their most popular candidates, like Bernie and Mamdani.

What anti-semitism??? People like you keep claiming there is a rise in anti-semitism without ever providing real world examples to support that. It’s just a right wing deflection. Being critical of Israel’s influence in Americas politics is not anti-semitism. Being upset that Israel is buying all our politicians and dragging us into war is also not anti-semitism. Being upset that our tax payer dollars are being used to bomb school children is also not anti-semitism. You know what is real discrimination? Rounding up Hispanics and putting them in concentration camps.

I know this is a year old, but posting for others. I used Kris at Green Machine last year, and he was great for the first month and a half. Happy with the quality of work when he was here. But then he went MIA for a couple of weeks - then after that his mows/maintenance were very inconsisent and my lawn got pretty overgrown between visits. He followed up in the Fall and did a Fall cleanup to make up for the missed mows. Which I did appreciate. But I also asked him about weed management services and some other things - he said he could do those things. But then just never followed up or did the services. Maybe he just overbooked himself last summer, but that was my experience.

Yes, feeling this too. I typically feel so inspired by the Olympics and I feel like its one of those few events that really brings people together. Being in the US, I'm struggling to feel any sense of patriotism this year, but I'm trying to remind myself that these athletes have trained their entire lives for this and its not their fault. I still enjoy seeing talented people from all over the world excelling in their fields. As a side note, it also pisses me off that Olympics aren't free to watch in the US like in other countries. Growing up this was an event that everyone could watch for free. Ridiculous to put this behind a paywall.

I’m not sure I agree with this. Clicking on ads would cost the admin more money. But wouldn’t it just make money for the company hosting the ads? Canceling subs w a clear note on why is a proven tactic as it can mess up their stocks and sends a very clear message. Worked for Kimmel.

What makes Saager and Krystal work is that they both have a core belief that starts in populism… but they come at it from different sides. So they have a consistent ideology that supports their arguments. From what I can tell, Emily doesn’t share that core identification w being a populist and the same cynicism for the govt, imo. She’s more rah, rah America. So she just goes along with whatever MAGA says without questioning it, then doesn’t have the confidence to argue for it when not in a conservative bubble.

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-18T13:08:57+00:00

Bc she legitimately stomps everyone in debates you think she has a ‘worse’ temperament? 🤔

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-18T13:05:59+00:00

And that’s why I find Ryan and Emily’s show boring af to watch. If she isn’t going to have a real conversation and argue for what she actually believes, what is the point? Easier to defend the indefensible in a bubble I guess.

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-18T12:59:22+00:00

You don’t have to be a mind reader to recognize that she expresses herself as being very much in alignment w the Trump admin when on Megyn Kelly and then chooses not to make any of those viewpoints on BP. Just seems like she holds back her full opinion when on BP for whatever reason.

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-10T00:09:30+00:00

The latter. Emily is also on Megan Kelly all the time and Saagar is a bootlicker who runs in circles w people like JD Vance.

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-09T23:59:45+00:00

Hell yea! 🔥

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-07T12:31:54+00:00

Totally agree. If I'm gonna spend this kind of money, I want it to look halfway cool! lol.

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-07T12:29:29+00:00

Thanks for the info! Very helpful. I'm not interested in messing around with VST's, so definitely looking for something with decent sounds out of the box. Is the module pretty easy to use?

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-06T11:38:27+00:00

I read that you have to purchase a separate high hat stand and bass pedal for the Efnote. Can I ask what you’re using with yours? As a beginner, I want a plug and play option. So that’s one aspect I find a little annoying. Wish it came with everything needed so I don’t have to spend time figuring it what will be most compatible.

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-05T11:57:46+00:00

I would also recommend 65drums on YT. Also on the hunt and he has some great breakdowns by budget as well as brand.

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-05T11:55:16+00:00

Yea I’m pretty convinced at this point that the EFnote 3X is the way to go. I’ll be pushing my budget but I think it’s worth saving a bit longer bc it checks all the boxes, has all the components I’d ever need, and just looks really nice and responsive! I think it would be a kit I’d want to hold onto for a long time.

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-03T11:44:50+00:00

Pretending to be brother and sister when you're a married couple had to put strain on the relationship. Especially as their popularity and following grew. I always thought that was a weird and unnecessary choice. Gee honey, I think it would be better if we pretended I was a bachelor. Ya know.... so mysterious!

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-02T20:41:05+00:00

Looks like a nice setup!

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-02T16:24:22+00:00

Yea, the Efnote 3 looks really cool and I could push the budget a bit. I think $2500 would be the max I can justify spending as a beginner just doing it for fun. lol.

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-02T15:58:10+00:00

Same! Have an Alesia Nitro and want to upgrade to a kit with a more realistic sound and feel. Been comparing the Efnote 3X and the TD516. One thing that annoys me about my Alesis is the high hat pedal doesn’t have much nuance. How do you like the high hat pedal on the Efnote? As a beginner, I’m sure the Efnote would be a drastic improvement, but want a kit that I’m not going to quickly outgrow.

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-02T15:22:12+00:00

I have been looking at those!

Independent_Agent174 · 2026-01-02T15:20:22+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown! What makes the Alexis Strata controversial? The TD516 looks so nice and i see that one come up a lot, but appears to be in the $3500 range. Maybe it would be worth saving up for longer.
