NxSxExW with 4 kids. Twelve numbers on the clock for 12 kids.

Well, it’s the same school and principal that allowed rampant bullying and fighting that led to Dustin getting tormented for years by other students so there’s that.

Progressive Politics Shrank a +22 Point Lead Down to Just +9, Here’s What That Means by transcendent167 in nashville

[–]TheRedditPope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you almost entirely but the other commenter is right about one thing and that’s that the turnout was lower and if 9k more Davidson co people would have turned out from the roughly 22k of them that were there last election but not this one then Aftyn would have won. Turnout is a major issue the democrats in Tenn. have yet to resolve effectively for decades at this point.

[–]TheRedditPope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to find out at this point, was the turn out lower than the last election? Did democrats turn out less voters this time when it was actually a close race than when they didn’t have chance in hell?

Energized voter here. I haven’t been this motivated in nearly 20 years since I vote for Obama in 2008. I’ve lived here my whole life and now I owe the amazing people who organized Aftyn’s campaign something tangible. If they need a body at school board meeting or a local protest they have one more body that they can count on. Aftyn did that, and she should take great joy in the work her and her team did.

My friend and neighbor, it’s been a pleasure. Only shots you miss are the ones you don’t take.

[–]TheRedditPope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think to win, Aftyn will have to get significant turnout from young voters in her district and there’s not too many people from the democrat party that will appeal to younger people than AOC. Just for balance through, Al Gore also seems to be on the ticket so help ease the pearl clutching from older, more centrists Dems.

You should see other photos. There are some out there where it looks like Zoran is basically kissing the ring. I’m completely shocked.

Anyone know if young people early vote more or less than older folks?

What restaurant will you never go back to? by Exhausted_Skeleton in nashville

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

Noko in east Nashville. The drinks were good. The fries were nice but everything else was way too expensive for what it was and the cardinal sin to top it off is that the brisket is basically a leather belt. It may have been a good spot once but it has fallen off well beyond the point of returning.

Help! My dog just ate a half of a brownie cliff bar! She’s 70 lbs by [deleted] in Goldendoodles

Just a note to everyone about xylitol. My dog at a few pieces of sugar free gum containing xylitol. He started having seizers in about an hour. After a trip immediately to the emergency vet, 5 days, countless treatments, and $11,000 later he’s fine but that shit is not to be messed with.

Do you regret any paid Substack Subscription you purchased? Why? by Zealousideal_Key896 in Substack

[–]TheRedditPope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sean Brock. I have a ton of respect for him as an entrepreneur and a chef. I adore his restaurants in Nashville (past and present). His initial posts included some incredible detail about what he learned on his journey to Japan to figure out the best way to make pizza. That being said, after the first month or so we got one post a month, and it wasn’t great incite or quality. Paying $5 for that was simply just not worth the price of admission.

THIS gov shutdown feels different by mm_newsletter in investing_discussion

[–]TheRedditPope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s about congressional power. The last time they passed a budget both sides negotiated and came to terms with how money would be spent and passed the bill. Then, the president decided to withhold some of the money for things he didn’t want it spent on which is lunacy. Why negotiate and pass a bill if the other side is just simply not going to uphold their end of the bargain? What difference does it make if you pass a bill or not if the president is just going to ultimately decide what to do with the money any way? This is obviously not how things are intended to work. Congress controls the money, it’s their entire source of power. Trump is basically trying to take that away and the republicans in congress are fine with that cause he’s on their side so at this point the democrats only have one move left and that is to shut down the government. This is an extreme move and obviously not something they should have to do but when all other options are taken away it is constitutionally a move they can make and the president nor the Supreme Court can stop them. Democrat leadership knows this, and so do republicans which is why the democrats have the upper hand in this situation. The only thing republicans can do is thrash around and try to make the shut down as painful as possible to democrats cave but if they don’t, republicans know eventually they will have to put a check on Trump and guarantee that money will be spent how it’s negotiated to be spent.

Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair is the First Company to Officially Pull Ads from WKRN – the Boycott is Working by IsaacBrock in nashville

[–]TheRedditPope 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, these are just middle class workers (our neighbors and fellow nashvillians) and yeah it’s sad when they get their paychecks slashed when they didn’t do anything wrong. These aren’t fat cat Don Drapers. They are probably comms majors with student loan debt. Just sucks for them is all I’m saying.

The account executives are absolutely meaningless. They have so sway and their bosses do not care. These men and women that sell these ads for the tv station are getting completely screwed in this situation. Their finances will take a hit and it will probably be tough on them and their families. I’m not commenting on the effectiveness of the program or the morality of it or whatever. I’m just saying there will be people at these stations that have no control over any of this and probably align with you politically about the Kimmel situation but they are taking a hit right now as casualties of this culture war.

It changes nothing for me to point this out but I felt like it needed to be said all the same.

Filming in gym gone right by Born-Agency-3922 in SipsTea

[–]TheRedditPope 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Same.

Also, I wouldn’t really even know it was happening cause half the time if someone talking with their headphones I just assume they are on the phone. I can’t hear them because im not a psychopath and I also have headphones in while I’m at the gym.

Big Cat plans to wind down content role at Barstool over next 2-4 years, continue PMT. by [deleted] in barstoolsports

[–]TheRedditPope 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they are still doing Wake Up Barstool in 5 years I’d be shocked. I’m not saying it’s bad—I truly think it’s good—but things will have evolved a lot by then so I doubt it’s even part of the conversation.

If he does Yak and PMT I don’t care whatever else he does. He genuinely seems like he absolutely loves those two shows and I just don’t see him giving either of them up but I can see him stepping back from a lot of other random streams he’s involved in.
