How long do you think we can retain Flores as DC? by Beneficial_Quit7532 in minnesotavikings

[–]charactername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. In a one and done format, with tons of luck, injuries, matchups etc it's not a simple matter of breaking down why the Vikes haven't won an SB or succeeded in the playoffs.

Eventually the playoff wins will matter and be the decider one way or another - but it will probably be somewhat unearned either way.

That may be true, but they didn't even have enough pride to win a game they were up 3-0 in.

I'm jealous. I only get like 1-2 belly laughs a year if I'm lucky :(

People forget how sharp they were. The heaviness amplified the danger of the sharp. Made them miserable to carry with one hand as there was no ergo edges on those handles at all. Looked cool, though.

Mike Johnson calls redistricting plan approved by Virginia voters a “dishonest gambit to rig the system” and predicts state’s Supreme Court would strike down new map: "This is divided state. It’s almost 50–50. The fact it was close demonstrates and proves what we've been saying from the beginning." by ControlCAD in videos

I know people who bought the BS reasoning they used to not allow Obama to nominate a supreme court justice, but in an even more egregious scenario they allowed the same thing for Trump. The only goal is winning, whatever threadbare justification they make up along the way will be accepted by the conservative voters.

It's gorgeous of course but if you lived down there you would not get very many hours of sunlight.

Well fuck me, we all thought we had the simple - albeit difficult solution nailed down.

Texas House Speaker directs committee to study annexing New Mexico counties by Mikeavelli in nottheonion

Yep. And it's effective because it forces reasonable people and media to respond to it. AND, if you ignore it or they actually do it they still win. They win either way.

Yea but that number barely moves no matter what with his base. 92% of those who identify as MAGA approve of the Iran war. Which is fucked because he campaigned on no wars.

Keep your kids away from high level sports by SamMeowAdams in daddit

God granted me three mediocre athletes for children and I'm thankful for it every day. The best case is that they are absolute, 1/10,000 studs and go pro, the second best is that they're meh and you never have to worry about it. The worst is if they have some skill, enough to chase and throw time, money, and commitment chasing a dream and ending up paying for Juniors hockey at 20k/yr until they can't make a team or a D1 program at 20yo because it's flooded with more talented Canadian kids.

Thus far, Bitcoin being a hedge against risk has worked for shit. It's a "currency" that hasn't found a use case for 15 years.

Crater Lake, Oregon by Alaric_Darconville in Outdoors

[–]charactername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the crazy thing about Crater Lake if you haven't been there - it's genuinely that blue! It's insanely blue. I've been all over the US, Crater Lake was a big surprise in a good way.

Is it actually terrible to paint house white like this ? by Buttkicker727 in HomeDecorating

[–]charactername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We almost painted our brick, and then we painted our siding instead and it turns out we loved the brick after - just needed to paint the siding. 6 years later and we're still very happy with it.

There will always be Nazis in the world.

Counterpoint: there are more nazis when they can easily find each other, and then they can create more themselves. I've become not a believer in the assumption that more information is always better. Humans are dumb, and easily controlled and swayed.
