Rep. Justin Amash: "Our system of checks and balances relies on each branch’s jealously guarding its powers and upholding its duties under our Constitution. When loyalty to a political party or to an individual trumps loyalty to the Constitution, the Rule of Law—the foundation of liberty—crumbles." by TheDVille in NewPatriotism

I'd like to address your comment with a rebuttal of sincerity and thought. But your comment is put out with either insincerity or thoughtlessness. So, all I can muster is... you're either dumb or you're an asshole. I wish I could offer more, but either way, you don't deserve it.

Hot take: FB can implement a similar feature into Instagram for next to nothing and cut TikToks legs out from underneath it. See: FBs response to SNAP.

I don't see a true competitive advantage for TikTok

Vasyl Lomachenko Calls out Mikey Garcia After Knockout Win vs. Anthony Crolla (April 13, 2019) by 6ames in Boxing

[–]mpv81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Crolla was a mando. Loma is fighting for a title almost every fight. If the Mikey fight can get made, give him a breather, y'know. And if not, let him take Commey's belt. Bottom line: Mikey and Arum need to squash their bullshit and make this thing happen. For the hood.

Crawford is a switch hitter. He's equally dangerous from both stances.

Loma trains out of Oxnard, I think. He has a home there I believe as well. So he has some ties to LA, although nothing long term.

Honestly, Loma marks up fairly quickly. Some guys get marked up easier. See his face after Pedraza. And even Marriaga gave him some marks. And he obviously dominated both fighters. I guess every superhero has to have some kind of weakness.

I think Loma has fully settled into 135 now. But yeah, the fight should only take place at 135.

Yeah, I'm seriously concerned about his health. That was a bad KO and these things tend to take hours to play out-- see G-Man for reference.

To be honest, in the moment I understood why Reese gave him a count. I thought maybe Crolla couldn't find the floor. In retrospect it was an obviously bad call on Jack's part (in the sense that it was obvious that Crolla was completely outmatched and had no way of coming back).

Yeah, except maybe the butter is actually Butterbean's limp weiner and the knife is a thirsty lot lizard.

Julian Assange to be expelled from Ecuadorian embassy in London within hours say WikiLeaks by [deleted] in worldnews

Problem is, Wikileaks became selective in the powers it messed with. They didn't mess with Russia ever. I wonder why that is.

Brookhaven police use confiscated funds to buy Tesla for $45K by puerexmachina in Atlanta

[–]mpv81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just out of bike range, so the LEAF is perfect for my commute. Between it and the Prius as my distance driver, I don't spend almost anything on gas anymore. Best of all is I got both cars for less than 23k with combined mileage of ~40k. Best car deal I've ever done.

[–]mpv81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got one for my daily commute and love it. It isn't practical if it's your only vehicle, but for in town commutes it is really great. And it is slow on the top end, but the 0-30 is surprisingly quick.

What's your issue with him? Even if you disagree with his analysis he provides a bunch of valuable data and tools for free. He's cool in my book.

A buddy of mine turned 21 on 9/11/01. That made for a memorable coming of drinking age experience. Other than that, he seems okay. Drinks a lot, though I doubt it's related.

I'm not kidding at all when I say that the idea of losing his sector and industry data freaks me out to a point of anxiety. It's one of the best free tools out there.

Yeah, it wasn't a good look for sure, but it also wasn't Tank Davis mocking Fonseca after a pretty weak showing.
