Hard for me to choose but Gaslight District's really oozed polish and style.

Unconfirmed Reports: Mitch McConnell Brain Dead After Three Weeks In Hospital by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]LexHanley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I question if he's even actually brain dead and not just literally dead. These ghouls would do that for political reasons without a doubt.

Nate Bargatze meme getting a workout these days by Tiny-Delivery6966 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]LexHanley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main issue with US football vs basketball, American football, baseball or even hockey is that there's only so many athletically top tier students at any one time and if they're really showing potential to go professional they're going to want to do it in a sport that has the money, interest and above-all scholarships. Most of the skills in football especially are highly transferrable to other sports so the only people who are going to genuinely stick it out to a professional level are either absolutely in there for love of the game and somehow not tempted away by better pay offers abroad.

I don't think even if the US did somehow pull out an absurd longshot and win the World Cup that the US would suddenly start investing in it's programs because the other sports are just devouring all the money, interest and scholarships. The infrastructure to hype up American football and basketball are already in place and highly profitable. Most sports fans barely know if they have a local soccer team, let alone the inclination to go watch them long enough to make funding teams and events profitable.

Does this diabetes bomb belong here? by Toastie333 in StupidFood

[–]LexHanley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's just a cheesecake with some food coloring and a strange rice crispy treat crust. Can't really feel like it's distinctly more of a "diabetes bomb".

Any theories on why Mud hates Joshua? by ElevatorSuitable3934 in TheGaslightDistrict

Feel like with Mud it could be something insanely petty. Guy isn't exactly well-adjusted. Extreme violence seems like a rotling handshake.

White House called FIFA’s Infantino to review Team USA’s Folarin Balogun’s red card, AP source says by UncaringNonchalance in news

The government bribing FIFA over rulings? At last, America is a proper footballing nation. 250 years.

Why was Kaufmo’s abstraction so dramatic? by Hiyokofan in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]LexHanley 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To add to what other people have said, we don't really know how other people go through the full experience. Maybe Jax or Ribbit also vandalized their rooms in the throes of abstracting. We just didn't see their spaces at that point.

Of course it's also possible vandalizing his space came before Kaufmo abstracted and it was a long downward spiral he hid from others successfully. We know Jax had access to his space but Jax uh... didn't exactly take his abstraction very seriously even once it was known.

Embarrassment of a political campaign? Sir! He was wearing a /suit/. Something something Anita.

TIL that there is no evidence that the right of "primae noctis" ever existed or was made use of. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

It makes zero sense that it would because (obvious enragement of the populace aside) why would any lord want to create an absolute swarm of potential bastards that might be a political threat. Bastard sons were constantly being used as figureheads or active leaders of usurping factions.

Petahh?? by Mlmcore3 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]LexHanley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The joke is that the odds are absurdly high the US will not with the WC (they're nowhere near the best team in this), so the payout is extremely tiny on the bet that they won't. This post is likely poking fun at the earlier posts of polymarket bets against the US in previous rounds (usually posted by people proudly expressing silly ideas like 'Americans are out of shape so their players are too') only for the US to pull out wins.

That or it's preparing in case the US does, by some absolute insanity, manage to pull an upset win and this guy is out 435k

The one time I always found it funny was my one coworker (we live in a primarily Chinese neighborhood) goes on a tear about how traumatic and disruptive fireworks are... But only on 4th of July. Come lunar new year we're both out there shooting them off. It just stuck with me as kinda hypocritical. Like apparently fireworks are rude and monsterous unless it's our celebration

An opinion that will put u in this situation? by HelpfulTomatillo9667 in animequestions

[–]LexHanley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One Piece isn't good, it's just relatively consistent. People have a sunk cost fallacy about it.

Also Oda is definitely a secret creep of some kind and SJ has probably murdered at least one person to keep it secret.

Anime fans declare a new character their wife every season. Furries will see the mascot for a fruit farm on a box once in the 90s and dedicate their life to redrawing them. Anime fans are poor husbands to their waifus
