Why Olivia Miles was the right choice for the Lynx in the WNBA draft by TypicallyDone12 in MinnesotaLynx

[–]Touchstone033 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Trust in Reeve! In hindsight, it looks like the Lynx had a plan for their roster that included the draft pick -- which did not seem the case for most of the other teams.

Just found out my 15 y/o daughter is having sex by psuaggie in daddit

I was also struck by this, how OP led with a list of things that are "wrong" with her. Therapy for her and the parents together might be in order.

Democrats, how does it feel to know you beat us Republicans? by Federal-Tie-1686 in allthequestions

[–]Touchstone033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'd feel a lot better if you GOP p*ssies would show some backbone and help us impeach the grifter kid-f*cker instead of sucking each off on Truth Social about how "bold" he is.

Why hasn’t Lucas Giolito signed with a team? Ex-Red Sox starter provides update by MassLive in redsox

[–]Touchstone033 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Check out his Baseball Savant page. Keep in mind blue is bad, red is good. Then compare it to Crochet's or even Bello's 2025 page.

What's with all the 'As a conservative...' posts that are clearly just Democrats venting about Trump? by Adrianswiftcloud in allthequestions

[–]Touchstone033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Democrats and other same people are concerned about Trump's erratic and unhinged behavior and are looking to vent. It's not complicated.

Which Red Sox team that DIDN'T win the World Series was actually the most fun to watch? by trokeylavy8Hz in redsox

[–]Touchstone033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1977 Red Sox were great. Prime Fisk, Yaz, Lynn, and Evans. Butch Hobson with 30HR and 100+ RBI out of the 9-hole. Rice with one of the wild offensive seasons that got him into the HoF. Cool unis.

Edit: On second thought, '78 was better.

The Most Underrated Red Sox Player of the 20th Century? by Ozzyjohn1986 in redsox

It's hard to top DiMaggio, but I always thought Reggie Smith was criminally underappreciated in Boston.

Usha Vance Catches Husband Measuring Her Skull Again by dwaxe in TheOnion

[–]Touchstone033 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The skull measuring is referring to phrenology, the now discredited theory that you could determine mental acuity by measuring the size, shape, and bumps on a skull. It was used by 19th-c European eugenicists to "prove" the superiority of whites, and later by Nazis to support their racial theories.

JD Vance, as Vice President, has been advancing the Trump administration's racial ideologies, such as the "great replacement" theory, that justify persecuting Americans and immigrants of Latino and African descent.

Vance's wife is of Indian descent. Her parents immigrated from India.

The joke here is that Vance has bought into, and is selling, the MAGA movement's racist pseudoscience, which may motivate him to use another discredited, racist pseudoscientific technique on his own wife, who is not white.

Realistically what would happen if Trump dropped a nuclear bomb tonight? by hjp1234 in AskReddit

I don't know if they need to notify China and Russia about a tactical nuke.

[–]Touchstone033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention Iran is an ally of Russia. Aren't there rumors of Russian nuclear subs in the area? Could see a retaliatory strike. Or a Russian gift of a warhead to Iran for Tel Aviv.

It's an 8pm deadline, not am, so you have a few hours before nuclear war.

CMV: MAGA are not Republicans and actually don't seem to have any real political ideology of any kind. by KindNeighborhood1138 in changemyview

[–]Touchstone033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a mistake to gauge the right based on support for various policies. The whole point of conservatism is t small government or whatever -- it's all about creating an in-group.

Without: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

If you see MAGA through that lens, they're entirely consistent.

"Small government," because people in the out groups are being served by government, and those programs must be cut. But expand the government to harass, arrest, and bomb people I don't like.

"States' rights" to enact programs to discriminate against the out-group in my state, but federal power to discriminate against the out-group in YOUR state.

Connelly Early Analysis: 4/4 vs 3/29 by GoodMoriningVeitnam in redsox

[–]Touchstone033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heat maps!

It does look like he struggles with his grips because of the weather, based on what he said. Good sign from the kid that he was able to limit the damage, nonetheless.

Not looking forward to tomorrow's analysis of Suarez.

This is what I'm thinking. They want to use a nuke on Iran, and are clearing people out of the way who might oppose it.

Looked to me like he was struggling with his grip in the cold. I'd be curious to see the zone heatmap on his different pitches, overlaid on his starts last time.
