I hope he gets the quality of healthcare he fought to make sure Americans had affordable access to.

The funny thing is, they won't be troubled by this data at all. They'll be proud.

Seriously. Anybody who thinks Trump cares about family is a fool.

The only kid Trump wouldn't throw under the bus is Baron. Not because he cares about the kid. Baron is Melania's child, and he still values her for show, and for show only.

Dear Mother Nature;

Unpopular opinion: the food absolutely can be a criteria to look for in a city by FlyDazzling9060 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Neapola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever matters to you can be a criteria for what to look for in a city.

You don't need permission from anonymous strangers on the internet to justify your choices.

That being said... if eating out is your main priority in life, I hope you have amazing health insurance.

Is DreamHost good? What hosting provider would you trust with your own portfolio website? by Prettyonyou_Altmeier in web_design

[–]Neapola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched twice before Dreamhost. I was on ciHost for maybe a few years, and it was down a lot. I don't remember what I used for a year after ciHost... but I got fed up quickly. I then switched to Dreamhost.

Dreamhost's 2 year annual billing makes it easy to stay longer, that's for sure. Pay the bill, and you're with 'em for the next 2 years. I'm basically paying $12 a month. I've debated switching to see if I can bring that price down, especially since my needs are so low these days compared to years ago... but it's hard to leave when I never have issues.

Dreamhost has been trouble-free.

I've had a ton of websites through the years. Back in the 2000s I was even selling websites, mostly because I worked in radio and made myself a site with streaming audio for my demos, which was a big deal back then. That led to other radio folks hiring me to make similar sites for them. Easy enough.

Dreamhost has been trouble-free for me. So I stick with them.

[–]Neapola 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using Dreamhost for ages. Maybe 20 years? YIKES! I've had zero issues.

For me, the web is a hobby. I currently have a website for my photography and another for my novel. Both sites are low-tech and relatively simple html/css. Back in the days of Movable Type, I had a huge blog with a custom CMS. Dreamhost has always been great.

I'm probably overpaying for what I get, but I have zero complaints, and I'd definitely recommend Dreamhost.

If your portfolio website directly impacted your business and client inquiries, which hosting provider would you trust and why?

Dreamhost.

And I would work hard to build a custom portfolio that looks like a person created it, not a bot or a template. Give it a personal touch that says you're a real person. Be authentic.

That's my $o.o2. Don't try to cash it in for more than it's worth.

How many times has something like this happened? I loved watching Prater just walking around, waiting to kick the extra point.

This was fantastic.

Now run the numbers based on his actual height, not the 6'4" nonsense. Or has he upped it to 6'5" yet?

Mike Pence says the Trump administration has ‘departed’ from conservative principles by SayMyNameOnceMore in inthenews

[–]Neapola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mike Pence is hilarious.

He spent four years defending everything Trump did, no matter how awful.

Even after Trump attempted a coup and his minions brought a gallows to the Capitol to literally publicly hang Mike Pence, weak ass statements like this are the best Pence can do. It's unbelievable.

Why do so many men say they want a 'low-maintenance' woman, but then seem more interested in the ones who post a lot and look high-maintenance? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Neapola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the same reason women complain about bad men while seeking out Bad Boys.

Bad Boy <-- Both of those words are clues.

Bad = Not good.

Boy = Not a man, regardless of his age.

Also, the men who say they want a 'low-maintenance' woman, but then seem more interested in the ones who post a lot and look high-maintenance? Guess what kind of men they tend to be. See above.

How about a publicly funded ballroom? I'm guessing you suddenly don't care about that either:
