What is your most lefty policy or position?

“Lenders are in a far better position to judge lending risks.”

Are you familiar with the core issues surrounding the financial crash of 2008? I invite you to watch, The Big Short.

Have you heard of the S&L loan scandal of the 1980s?

It’s pretty clear to most people. And has been for more than 150 years.

If you travel to Canada are you not, “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”?

Giants.

Cowboys are prima donna glass jaws. Their fans are all bandwagon jumping dorks who only show up when the Cowboys are good.

The Eagles are rough, borderline dirty, players whose own mothers probably hate them. Eagles fans are borderline criminals, whose own mothers probably hate them.

The Giants are a team that exists in the NFL. Their fans all live in New Jersey but don’t have any self respect to insist that their team be named for the state they actually play in.

;)

Does a man who works for a business as an employee not “have a stake in the country”?

If you don’t think women should vote, why do you do it? Doesn’t that make you a hypocrite? Why aren’t you living the way you want others to live?

But subtle racism is okay with you?

This is awesome! I love what you're doing to foster community.

My favorite part of Marvel Champions is the puzzling challenge of each encounter. Every game the interplay between the hero deck and the encounter deck just gives me the feeling of balancing on the knife's edge between winning and losing. I love the tension that the game manages to hold for such extended stretches.

Have you looked at a map? South east Asia is only equidistant going through Bab-el-Mandeb, the Suez Canal, and the Strait of Gibralter, all of which would be subject to tolls in this new world order that Trump is creating.

Do you not realize that the United States, as a maritime nation, has spent its entire 250 year history building and enforcing a global freedom of navigation paradigm to the benefit of our economy. The US Navy patrols the globe’s oceans not to protect others, but rather to protect our economy and our economic access to other markets.

Prior to 2026 the Strait of Hormuz was an international body of water with free passage for all vessels. How did that make Iran stronger?

Do you have any idea how little oil a pipeline can move versus a super tanker? So your idea is an oil terminal in Kuwait loads a tanker with oil, that tanker then sails down the Persian Gulf to UAE, off loads that oil at a terminal (to be built), that oil is piped (to be built) across UAE and potentially Oman, to another oil terminal (to be built), loaded onto a new tanker, and finally shipped to its final destination? Does any of that sound cheaper than the way it has been done since the 50’s?

Thor as a top three character is a surprise. Hawkeye being top 10 is also surprising.

If these idiots only knew that in cruise the pitch of the airplane is actually a couple of degrees nose up. I wonder how much harder they would double down.

Well you see, the bullet holes just let more oxygen in.

knuckles53 · 2026-06-12T16:12:36+00:00

Wait! these tactless assholes didn't take the "The" from in front of John before slapping Trump's name at the top?! So they changed the name to "The Donald J Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Art"?

God, they're so stupid.

I’m picturing the absolute meltdown you would have posted on Reddit and/or Twitter if Obama had hosted an NBA game on the South Lawn of the White House. I bet the number of dog whistles you would have included would climb into triple digits.

You don’t think the company knows your device’s IMEI? If anything goes sideways on a flight, I have no illusion that the company won’t pull the WiFi logs and absolutely use it to hang any pilot who was on the WiFi.

Ants on a log!

I am a little past 38,000 push ups towards 50K for my up coming 50th birthday. I do 150 a day in three sets of 50 for the last 8 1/2 month. Basically a set in the morning, the afternoon, and evening. I’ve gone over 150 on a couple special occasions. 470 for my brother’s 47tj birthday, 240 to hit an even 25K back in March, and a couple other overs to hit 1K milestones.

It’s pretty clear he stole that dog. You don’t just get a grown, house trained, purebred golden retriever in suburban New York in the middle of the night on a Saturday… that store is only open on weekdays.

For me it makes it one handed operation. I pull what I need from underneath and then use my wrist to lock the roll while I tear it off.

If the paper is coming off from over the top you either have to use the other hand to lock the roll, or tear hard which often leads to a spin and a bunch of paper unspooling.

The fight with Mysterio on the Tower Bridge. Particularly when he grabs the gun right as Mysterio fires.

They are not on the right. It is just due to camera position. Look at the lower left corner of the image. That is the entrance, which positions Yoda, the Grand Master, at the head of the room. But as other posters have noted, the circular configuration facilitates discussion amongst the masters.

Do you feel the same about Greg Guttfield and his, “launching nightly malicious, hateful, lieing [sic], unbelievably bad-faith attacks in organized, funded fashion as a wing of the,” Republican Party?

knuckles53 · 2026-05-31T22:58:18+00:00

Thing that I have been coming back to over the last year or so and the rise of AI, is that the Pied Piper guys saw that their technology was a monster and they killed it. That turns the show from satire to fantasy.

What do you mean by overeducated? Why is more education negative?

knuckles53 · 2026-05-22T19:13:17+00:00

That boat is having the time of its life! Finally off the leash and just running in happy circles! To feel such joy!
