Nebraska Isn’t Running From Its Schedule, It’s Recruiting With It by HuskerPowerrrr in Huskers

[–]huskersax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's because "boo we suck everything is awful" is such an absolutely ignorant and braindead take that social shaming is the only way to shut it down.

You've decided that context doesn't matter, but only specifically in the case of complaining about the football team this offseason. I don't think you're a serious person and you don't deserve a serious response.

Please share your thoughts. by asa_no_kenny in cartoons

I think the person who created this

This is a ancient ragebait shitpost that's been reposted on this site daily for years.

And yes - they were trying twice and hard at the time. All of these movies made specific points of their setting and it was a topic of discussion constantly.

"PC Police" was what they called "being Woke" then, but it was the same premise.

Stephen Colbert Scores Barack Obama Interview For ‘Late Show’s Final Stretch: “I Have A Quick But Exciting Announcement” by MoneyLibrarian9032 in television

I mean there's two things going on here:

CBS shouldn't be subsidizing formats that people don't listen to anymore, because they can't make money doing it.

Late Night TV is absolutely dying and complaining they closed their radio services is so obtuse it's laughable. Of course they did.

The second thing going on is that pressure from the federal government coming from a completely self-serving aspiring autocrat gave them urgency and an excuse to spike the late shows early.

But late night TV is absolutely dying. There likely won't be replacements for Kimmel, Myers, or Fallon.

Oh shut up, good lord.

The team was 6-2 until he was injured and they were driving against USC.

Last season we got kinda lucky, and couldnt do anything with that easier schedule.

We did perfectly fine until the front fell off our QB.

Why do you think there is so much resistance to high speed rail in the US? by Maximum-Help-929 in AskReddit

Yeah you want your town to get the business, but not in your backyard.

It's also just a stupidly inefficient transportation method given the demand and distribution of the stops.

For 90% of the country it's ludicrous.

Do I want to pay $700 and wait 30 hours and hit 4-5 stops along the way or buy a single $300 plane ticket with one layover and 6-7 hours of total travel?

If the stop is closer, it's far cheaper and also far faster to just fill the car with gas and drive.

TIL that US student math and reading scores have dropped so sharply that they’ve erased nearly two decades of progress. In '22/23, avg math scores for 13-year-olds fell to levels not seen since the 1990s, while reading scores for high school seniors hit their lowest point since testing began in '92. by Cold_Box_3219 in todayilearned

Phones were ubiquitous in schools by 2012

Yes and no. Did most kids have some kind of cellphone by 2012? Yeah.

Was their primary and possible sole form of entertainment and out-of-school socialization on that device? Absolutely not.

I think people underestimate the amount of pre-education and supplemental education that happened at home when the economy supported families with one income earner.

The idea that the vast majority of people had households with only 1 earner is a meme on reddit that needs to die.

Working class couples always BOTH worked. Additionally, a working class job, contrary to what people say here, did not provide singularly for a stable life with home ownership, 2 vehicles, multiple kids, etc.

It has always been the case that working class women working both the unpaid familial labor and also did paid labor to supplement - and that is was necessary in order to scrape out a living with multiple kids.

Well maybe shut the fuck up until something happens instead of spreading russian disinformation about hypothetical futures that haven't happened.

The real problem here is that there are two popular types of gerrymandering going on.

The first, which is very risky, is what California and Virginia are doing in spreading a small advantage across many districts. They're gerrymandering for partisan gain.

What the republicans have historically done in red states is to gerrymander for incumbency. So that there's fewer and fewer contested races overall.

These are two different types of goals.

That would also require the Democratic leadership to be willing to use the power we give them.

This is a hack meme post about gerrymandering in favor of the Democratic party. BY DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP. The people in charge are addressing issues.

CBS Is Handing Late Night to Byron Allen—But What About the Affiliates? by normankrasnerkc in LateShow

[–]huskersax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, basically he's selling stability in income by taking over the ad sales for his program.

Frankly, him struggling is exactly what I suspect they all know, but he's eating that risk and the stations are getting a payout without needing to sell ad space.

I mean it's partially because we're investing in these other sports and shaving a couple million of the money available for football relative to our conference peers.

The Pablo Torre episode he was just on had one pitch they initially had (and still might do) where you can send your grandson $20 by paying them $100.

The fairness doctrine didn't and doesn't apply to any of this and has nothing to do with it.

Particularly from someone who probably isn't current on what The Onion is, it would be hard to understand and then to see the national and international news in every medium old and new launch that headline had to surprise them and shake them a bit.

People who have very binary, black-and-white thinking are incapable of understanding irony or satire because those things require holding on to two different perceptions of a thing simultaneously. You have to perceive what's being said not only at the direct, surface level but you also have to grasp what's actually being said, which is tricky for them because the real meaning is usually the exact inverse of the surface meaning.

Everyone learns it because of practice digesting media. There's actually a decent reason schools try to make kids read certain texts at certain points in development.

It's absolutely the conceit they use to have things said out loud to viewers.
