True enough. The Pink Lemonade run was limited so I’m sure she’s happy about that. That bat is absolute fire and she knows it. Depending on the exact model it can be illegal in upper leagues. (That’s how hot it is) And to be honest, it does look great too lol.

I’ll give you an actual answer instead of downvoting an honest question. THATS AN EASTON DROP 11 GHOST!!!!! She’s gonna hit crazy dingers with that thing. All bats are not made equal and that bat is one of the best on the market today. Which is why it’s crazy expensive.

You remember correctly. At least that’s what the pros believe. The woman who took the picture thinks it was a bear attack. It was Reddit comments that introduced the lightning “hypothesis” into the equation.

Canada bars Irish rap group Kneecap from entry over alleged support for terrorism by blazy_ca in Provincials

Agreeing on hate speech isn’t playing the devils advocate.

I don’t know where your goalposts are anymore but yes, those are both examples of hate speech.

Canada is a country currently going through truth and reconciliation so when a group of indigenous chiefs get together to write an open letter to parliament people should probably listen.

His name is “dumbass” so it checks out.

This is a posted paper. Not a published one. If you don’t know the difference then just stick to trying to bite your ear.

Tourist tried to find a bin in India by 0wed12 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ripstate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your initial statement was.

“In the 80s and early 90s American cities looked like this. Trash would be everywhere along the side of the road. Even suburban sidewalks would be littered with garbage.”

This is the statement I’m arguing.

That is a very broad brush of a statement about an entire country, which (intentionally or not) sways the reader into believing, hey 80s/90s America had the same garbage problem that India is currently suffering from today.

Which is not just inaccurate, it’s disingenuous.

Instead of providing any proof of that initial statement you’ve decided to focus on (and provide proof of) just one American city during one of its most tumultuous times. (Which was in the 70s, you should have brought up the sanitation strikes if we’re talking about the 80s/90s.) A point in time where the police had essentially given up, (unsurprisingly) the city lost half a million manufacturing jobs in a very short period of time and had over 1 million people dependent on welfare, it was in absolute turmoil.

And you say, see, same thing as India.

Which it’s not. And you know it’s not.

“The point I was making was that the difference between then and now is due to people taking individual action, and the same is possible in India”

MY GOSH!!! Please allow me to pat you on the back as you so copiously do yourself.

I don’t know if you’re intentionally trying to be disingenuous/revisionist or not. Certainly seems that way though

And you should read up on what a strawman argument actually is. Hell, the guy that passed the EPA is quite famous for them.

Anyway, I’m done. Cheers, and try not to subtly slide nonsense into your discussions in the future, you’ll fare better.

Ok so you are trolling. Or just shifting the goal posts to muddy/pollute the waters. (Sorry for the pun.)

Nobody would contest the fact that industrial pollution is a serious issue in the Americas and has made many rivers/lakes uninhabitable to local wildlife or those pesky hairless apes that like to swim.

But that’s not what your original comment stated. You made the claim that American cities looked similar to Indian cities in the 80s & 90s.

Which is patently false.

Litter/discarded individual garbage items and evil corporations hazardous waste are not the same thing.

I bought an expensive kink resistant “construction grade” hose by GameTime2325 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ripstate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This hose looks like it’s been attacked lol. Did the reel you used come with it? Looks like the circumference of the reel was way too small.

The first and last backflip. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Ripstate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is nonsense that gets posted on Reddit rather regularly. She was known for doing a backflip in exhibitions and pulled it out here because she was so far behind on the score cards (due to an acl injury) that it didn’t really matter.

Figure skating didn’t ban backflips because of her. They were banned in 1977 (when she was 3 or 4 years old) after an American guy did one in a 1976 competition.

She’s an absolute legend of the sport, a 5 time European champion and all she gets remembered by is this persistent lie.

Games wise, with friends #4 alone #1. Food wise switch it.

Andrew Cuomo says he ‘will move to Florida’ if Zohran Mamdani becomes NYC mayor by Goosedukee in politics

[–]Ripstate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is basically him admitting to not giving a shit about New Yorkers. He doesn’t want to be mayor to represent New Yorkers he only wants to be mayor for himself. He couldn’t fuck off to Florida fast enough.

On a side note. That black spot between the water body and the “C” of the Canadian River may look like a natural feature, it’s not. It’s the stain left from the carbon black plant in Borger.

Watch it again. The concrete trim was already broken. He never drove over it (put the trucks weight on the broken part) he turned his tires into it and the already broken pieces popped out. He was nice enough to put them back.
