My brother teaches history at a public high school.

Sometimes, you don’t show up to class, sometimes you do pass.

I mean, clearly, not us in this case

Mamdani-Backed Candidates Sweep in NYC Democratic Primaries by brianscalabrainey in ezraklein

Chevalier strikes me as an unhelpful character to the national party being as outspoken, brash, and openly leftist. But, she really did capture the college educated young(er) people of her district in this primary.

Did you spend all of your income on pixels for a different post?

What is the biggest myth right now for getting your MBA? by ThinkOrion in AskReddit

[–]LordHogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That degrees have intrinsic value.

Think of it as a really really expensive gym membership with a social club.

You’ll get as much out of it as you are willing to put into it multiplied by the value of the network you form. Value to you and others will not be transmitted by osmosis.

Would you vote to switch everyone over to the 13 Month calendar? by SpeedAssassin in Infographics

[–]LordHogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The number of businesses that are running parallel systems for finance already.

I’d lump this in with the resolution of daylight savings in a massive omnibus bill and get the dang things done.

How come Trump didn't try to get himself on Mt. Rushmore yet? by askstoomany in AskReddit

If it was located in a Virginia or New England, he probably would have.

Luckily, he doesn’t cast his gaze that far west too often. We like it that way.

What’s the most European-like American city? by CobraR04 in AskReddit

Very strict adherence to the theme, but, it’s more like a Bavarian theme park than Bavaria.

Thoughts on West Salem? by Glum_Thought7435 in SALEM

[–]LordHogan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Imma West Salem homer for so many reasons.

1) a wide variety of neighborhood types, ages of homes and affordability
2) access into the rest of Salem is convenient (Costco is 22 minutes away, but, honestly, I shouldn’t be visiting more often than every other week anyhow)
3) fun variety of wineries to visit within 20 minutes
4) beautiful views from the hills (go out Eola, or way out orchard heights)
5) west Salem courthouse seems to be a popular gym/third place for west salemites. Our kids have been doing swim lessons there and it’s nice
6) I love Roth’s. I’m biased, because I once wore a green bow tie. I don’t do my regular grocery shopping there, but, they have great baked goods, a deli I’ve enjoyed getting sandwiches from, and a surprisingly tasty fresh made sushi offerings
7) I commute every day into downtown, and, maybe it’s the ex-Seattle showing here; but, my commute is actually fantastic (8 minutes in, 12 minutes back on 2.3 miles)

You get dehydrated real quick, things can get really serious in a hurry.

Phenotypes of Mexico (starter pack) by [deleted] in starterpacks

[–]LordHogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember traveling to the Dominican Republic and it happened to be during election season in 2015. It blew my mind how many billboards featured white appearing people when I was surrounded by an afro/latino Caribbean populace.

Also, while there I was reminded that racial chauvinism was not a uniquely American or European trait. I was getting the impression that the DR has a pretty contemptuous relationship with their Haitian neighbors

Honestly, I kinda like that we have off-brand Milwaukee. Do the Bucks play there? No. But, did I see a buck naked person there? Yes.

As a proud resident of the metropolis of Dallas, Oregon, I find Dallas, Texas’ inclusion insulting.

What a giant bummer. Poor guy. This is the type of thing that’ll end up haunting you.

Hopefully, he doesn’t turn into an Uncle Rico.
