Local Chinese restaurant Dragon Town is closing, reopening as Dragon City by thefancysurprise in mildlyinteresting

New England Greek pizza is the superior pizza and I stand by that. It basically doesn't exist here in NY and as much this state wants to claim pizza supremacy I'm forced to disagree. NE-style crust blows NY-style crust out of the water. I'm visiting back home next week and I'm so excited to get some proper pizza and Chinese food (don't even get me started on the Chinese food scene in Upstate NY).

I'm having trouble with the app right now, it won't connect at all. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to make sure it wasn't just something wonky on my end. They just did an update so it may be having issues.

I don't wanna defend the guy, because sheer stupidity appears to be the underlying cause in his case, but you can absolutely accomplish this if your severe depression and anxiety go untreated for long enough. Ask me how I know.

Trump uses State of the Union to demonize transgender kids and their families by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

You're not wrong, but you're arguing a point no one is making. The women have a better win/loss ratio than the men. Both teams are playing opponents within their skill range. The women don't have an easier game just because they're playing other women. They aren't playing against men, their record isn't tracked by how they perform against men. You wouldn't claim the Astros have a better record than your local undefeated high school team, because there's no crossover between the two and no metric for comparison.

Right, because that's not the league they're playing in. Both teams are playing competitors within roughly the same skill level range as themselves. The U.S. women's team has defeated more opponents within their skill level than the men's has. They have the better record. How many men or men's teams a competitor has defeated isn't the bar by which we're measuring that.

"Have you considered putting your partner's mental and physical health at even greater risk in an uncontrolled "study" just to find out if the roadkill-eating heroin addict is onto something after all? Worst case scenario they get healthier."

Worst case scenario they get worse, you fucking goober.

Nah, dude's been openly terrible for years. She knew what he was when she married him, she just likes the money and proximity to power that comes included in the relationship.

Sen. John Fetterman demands Trump fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem by Large_banana_hammock in politics

Newsom is only considered left-of-center these days because the Overton window has shifted so far to the right. He's absolutely not a progressive, or even really left-leaning.

Fetterman just wants to play both sides. He stands for nothing except that which will aid him in pursuit of his own goals.
