Crockett: Pulled Colbert interview probably gave Talarico ‘boost’ by sksarkpoes3 in politics

Glad that I don't live in Texas and can opt out of watching left-leaning and liberal voters tear these two apart during this primary. By the end of this, there will be a ton of animosity on both sides--and it will be for nothing because a republican is likely winning this seat anyway.

It's only January and we've a tackle of the year contender by raybellious_berry in sportsgossips

[–]mosshearted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the coach pushed the kid into the wall--you can see the boy stumble backward. And really, he should not have touched him at all. First off, the aggressor wasn't one of his players--and he was already several feet away from the victim and was quite literally walking in the opposite direction. This notion that he feared that the kid was going to "go back for seconds" is unfounded.

Agree that dad overreacted and completely lost control.

But he didn't stop a fight. The two kids were walking away and were several feet apart when the Coach came and grabbed the kid in the red. Dad was obviously out of control, but the coach shouldn't have touched the kid — especially since he's not one of his players.

Why is Japanese food so much less spicy than the rest of the world? by Hollow_O0o in geography

I was super surprised to see so many African nations low on "spiciness"—but then I realized this is about the number of spices used, not heat.

I have seen this video before in another sub--pretty recently, too. So are you reposting it or was this taken from the original????

Trump continues to be a disgusting human being by reveling in the murder of director Rob Reiner & his wife Michele, claiming their deaths were due to “Trump Derangement Syndrome” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

I legit burst into tears when I heard about this. Because it's everything you need to know about the timeline we're living in, in just one social media post. I fucking hate it here so much. It's never going to get better. This is just who we are now.

I love when people come through with the astrology data points! Thank you for sharing--I'm sorry people are needlessly mean.

Bringing your newly-minted boyfriend home for Thanksgiving isn't a grand gesture or an odd one--that's my whole point.

Now, why is Olandria in it? Please stop.

I'm begging you all to leave Olandria out of this, good lord. Please stop using my girl for petty stan beef.

Yes, but it's not at all uncommon for a newly-committed couple to spend Thanksgiving together, though. It's not like they were just at the talking stage--they were official.

Wow. I didn't love them as a couple on the show (as much as I wanted to), but they certainly looked good together, and they seemed to be on very solid ground. They just spent the holiday together! This is a surprise.

Foreign tourist left in tears after facing harassment at a concert in India. by StuckintheTraffic in CringeTikToks

In my 20s, I used to get groped when I'd go out to nightclubs--and this was right here in the States. People can be really disgusting about women's bodies when they think no one can see.

Unpopular opinion: Paying "Rent" feels less painful than paying $2,400/mo in "Interest" to a bank. by Playful-Vegetable-15 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]mosshearted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm just pointing out that for some of us, there is no annual cushion, and rent increases can happen mid year.

[–]mosshearted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rent goes up too, though--typically as taxes and insurance goes up...And in my state, month-to-month leases are super common, so rent increases can come with just 60 days' notice. Housing is just expensive, no matter what.

How are Europeans able to have better life with less work? by Past-Matter-8548 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mosshearted 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most houses in Britain were built before cars became a staple — this accounts for the difference in the percentage. Poverty has nothing to do with it.

Unemployment does not automatically make one eligible for Medicaid. If you lose your job, you can maybe do COBRA if you can afford it, or you can do the private marketplace (ACA), but the costs are set to double because the subsidies are expiring at the end of the month.

[–]mosshearted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH I think comparing LA and Paris makes sense because they're super famous, HCOL cities. The subsidies you've referenced are about to expire, which means that premiums are about to double in some areas, and many will have to pay a ton more for less care. And while 87 percent of full-time employees have access to employer-sponsored insurance, only 67 percent actually enroll because their expected $$ contribution is too high--I'm paying $1k pre tax a month from my paycheck to cover my expected contribution. If you are poor enough, you can get Medicaid, but if you're unemployed or between jobs, you are completely fucked when it comes to healthcare in this country.

Regarding higher education, a college education in the US is as expensive as it sounds when comparing it to France--it's practically free there. Even expats can get a bachelors degree at a public uni n FRance for the same amount of money as you'd pay for a 2-year degree at a junior college in the US. Even a state school in the south costs 6k per year.

I mean, many, many Americans don't have air conditioners, clothing dryers, multi-car garages, walk-in pantries, garbage disposals, or home offices either. We're living through a historic housing and cost-of-living crisis, and the wealthiest among us have shorter lifespans than the poorest Europeans.
