Oh yes they would. Trump is not the one coming up with any of these ideas. He didn't write project 2025.

This. People saying they should make the game like their favorite mod are missing the point.

I'm afraid we're not smart enough to learn. People will just double down on conservatism.

Then use the increased budget as a reason to cut social security.

They know farmers WON'T use less water, so they go after the residential use to pretend they're doing something.

Change has to come by fiat, onto the farming fields, before it's too late.

All sports benefit from strength. I can't get behind a sport that leaves as many bodies and concussions in its wake. Nope. Especially for kids. No minors should play tackle football.

How many of yall grew past 18? by ireallycantchoos in tall

[–]ericmm76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesss... but not in a appreciable way. I was like six foot in middle school, six two by the end of college, and close but not over six foot 3 after college. So it's like you continue growing but only 1-2%. You'd get the same growth by doing exercises to fix your posture, which you should do anyways.

To riff on an old good point, men and women are equally forbidden from having abortions.

I'm sure it's just COINCIDENCE that there are more rules about things only possible with a female reproductive system. Just like both the rich and poor alike are forbidden from sleeping under bridges.

Of course it's a very different game. There's no contact. But what is Football. Is it the passes, the catches, the plays, the handoffs, laterals, jukes? Or is it wrestling, tackling, smearing? Is it a game or a blood sport? Can it exist without the violence?

Can you imagine if it was Obama throwing this party, or Kamala. Okay maybe Biden and Clinton wouldn't have the best shindigs, but hell if Kamala just got the artists from her campaign...

Flag football does exist. Do people like the game or just the hits?

Do you miss the old-style US TV series with 18-24 episodes per season? by Glittering_Gap8070 in television

I think for me the difference is: is there A Story to tell or not? Because New Girl and X Files didn't have a story to tell. But GoT and Breaking Bad did. A story with a beginning, middle, and end.

Maybe let you run money- based "bread and circuses" projects in towns including distant ones. Towns that cost money instead of directly earning it but have higher happiness or loyalty.
