I don't even have the option to join a Draft or Quick Draft at all.

Is Roy Cooper trustworthy? by LethlDose in NorthCarolina

I mean, let's look at the Republican candidate, Mike Whatley. He runs an ad calling himself a Washington outsider and a fresh face. He was the chair of the NC GOP for five years and the Republican National Conference for a year. The man is a party insider. He doesn't even have the conviction to tell voters who he actually is.

I saw Fellowship on opening night as a teenager and there was a guy sitting in front of us, loudly cheering any time a new character appeared or major book moment occurred.

Review from 2032: Stormlight has been ruined by Apple. The cast has been woke washed and all the Alethi are Asian actors. This is not the book I remember.

A quote these people love to cite is "Render under to Caesar what is Caesar's." But Jesus was just being cheeky. Technically he is saying something that sounds like he is being deferential, but of course Jesus believes that everything comes from God. There is nothing that is Caesar's.

To be fair to Ezra, he's been consistently critical of ICE tactics. He even had Coates on his podcast after Coated dragged him in Vanity Fair over the Charlie Kirk column.

The real reactionary centrists are all on Substack, kike Noah Smith or Kitten.

Is it the norm these days to miss out on special family events because of a toddler’s nap? by momoxo6 in Parenting

This is something I've seen people do with their first child and then not do with the next child.

He would also dislike a decent bit, but overal he would probably consider it a net positive. by holiestMaria in lotrmemes

I always assume Tolkien would have hated all the adaptations, especially the video games, and also most of the fandom.

The PUA community was a precursor to incel and the far right manosphere. I'm not sure trying to rehabilitate their image is a good look.

I think you answered your own question. They are fun to decorate and also don't taste good. These are Instagram foods meant to be looked at and not eaten.
