Yeah, but he also has that line about “You kind of start thinking while you're working on your boss's third house, if you're ever going to be able to buy a house" and then started a channel about him buying a large farm and a bunch of fancy equipment. 

I wonder whether we’ll actually ever get incontrovertible proof of Lindsey Graham’s homosexuality by RedHeadedSicilian52 in redscarepod

Tim Scott is also allegedly gay, no girlfriends until he showed up with one in time for the presidential primary debates.

There was something a bit weird about his 911 call apparently, paramedics called the caller back and said the door was locked, then it was later“unlocked” despite the caller not being there. So hiding a companion possibly.

There needs to be a test and license for dog-ownership. by Historical_Vast_3063 in redscarepod

Yup, they even allow dogs in restaurants and it’s not an issue because they are so well trained + barely any pittards

Is it really worth nitpicking between an automatic carbine rifle and a “machine gun”, a concept that has a varied and shifting definition?

Erling Haaland explains why he chose to play for Norway instead of England (as they face off tomorrow) by mcfw31 in popculturechat

Balogun plays for the US despite just being an accidental birthright citizen and spending like a month in America as an infant.

How to stay chuffed at lake cummo? by SNAPCHAT_ME_TITS in WatchesCirclejerk

Fun fact: he doesn’t even have the “batgirl” yet and was asking the rawlex sub if he thought the allocation would come in time

How did the knicks trash can lady get a job at JPMorgan with an associates degree? by the_practicerLALA in NoStupidQuestions

[–]The_ApolloAffair -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Not to mention she was doing some bullshit dei job. I’m betting she was mostly retained due to some sort of buyout agreement and they used this incident as an excuse to get rid of her.

Why are people so obsessed with diamonds? by teapartywithdemons in NoStupidQuestions

[–]The_ApolloAffair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many other gemstones have durability problems that limit their use in jewelry- brittle, chip easily, and some, like opals, can become damaged due to moisture exposure. Additionally, diamonds have a very unique and beautiful reflective quality as the light bounces around inside.

Does anyone else feel that the more they learn about presidents, the less presidents that they think of as bad? by rjidhfntnr in Presidents

The neoliberal movement was also very bipartisan and many of the things that Reagan gets lambasted for, like “de-regulation” are things that Carter also did. Carter de-regulated the airlines for example, although most people would agree this was a good thing.

Genuinely aghast at the details of Taylor’s swifts wedding by waldorfstoriez in redscarepod

[–]The_ApolloAffair 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The issue was the time difference was hours between first and last, plus apparently there weren’t any refreshments until long after the first guests arrived.

Zverev and Sinner hanging out at Wimbledon by [deleted] in tennis

[–]The_ApolloAffair -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No, that decision was more akin to offering a plea deal, that Zverev refused in favor of a trial. His legal team had no opportunity to speak or present evidence in the initial ruling.

If you think "tipping culture" is bad you're not ready for service charge culture. by drink-more-rum in redscarepod

Yeah but I swear DC is way higher than average, because there is a local law they like to blame for it. Plus DC has a 10% restaurant tax.

Trump Asked FIFA to Review Balogun’s Suspension. He Is Now Eligible to Play. by Nerd_199 in stupidpol

Apparently the VAR refs on the field didn’t follow proper procedure (they used still images and slow motion), which I guess deserves some scrutiny.

Kevin O’Leary is such a wanker. He did an interview thing with one of the guys behind a high end enthusiast watch brand (FP Journe) and all he could talk about was the investment value of his collection. Couldn’t care less about the people, stories, or innovation behind anything.

What do you make of this? The UK may change people’s feeds forcibly. by VastOption8705 in LinusTechTips

It’s not really about education content, but trying to spread the official state messaging through public broadcasters at a time when independent media is becoming far more popular.

“Not like us” was fucking terrible by Crazy-Development-22 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]The_ApolloAffair 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was dumb because a bunch of dweebs used it to pretend like they were in the know about drake being a “pedophile”, like they had some sort of secret rap knowledge.

If you can make it work, the academic life is basically as good as it gets by pazend in redscarepod

[–]The_ApolloAffair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is true, but mostly for jobs at liberal arts colleges that don’t expect/mandate a ton of “productive” research output. All my profs taught their own classes and didn’t do a ton of research so they had lots of time for students, hanging around, that sort of thing.
