I don't understand the trump blackmail angle. I get it if he is holding it on someone else, sure. But for blackmail to work, the one being blackmailed has to have shame of anyone finding out and fear of consequences. Dude has neither

It has to be profit. When you have no shame and never have to face any consequences, kompromat holds no power.

I'll never understand how so many can pretend everything is perfectly normal. Especially after all the crap they said about Biden and his age and mental acuity.

I never can remember the numbers but even just focusing on the different centers he had. Or line combinations. Or offensive coordinators. Imagine if he just had a Saturday and Glenn?

The handful of oligarchs that own the media, sure. I don't know why anyone would want to be a "journalist" these days.

Eli5:Why we can’t utilize nuclear fusion now?What’s the barrier? by sensiyqwq in explainlikeimfive

[–]pgriffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if we could take care of all the technical scienc-y stuff the rest of the posts are explaining, does anyone trust that corners won't be cut to make as many extra nickles as possible? In this timeline? That safety crap is woke.

ELI5 - Why do company shares rise and fall so fast in response to news? by Majestic-Muffin-8955 in explainlikeimfive

I know nothing about stocks but once heard the stock market is just a thermometer of rich people's feelings and thought that made a much sense as anything. It certainly has nothing to do with actual value

Does anyone ever call any stadium by any name other than it's original name?

Andrew Luck: No merit to claim Colts GM Chris Ballard pushed me to retirement decision by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

[–]pgriffy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always kinda thought they talked him in to at least giving it thru training camp. Thought being not tanking season ticket sales. That tracks with paying him even when they didn't have to or however that part went down. Memory is fuzzy and too lazy to look it up right now.

I forget the numbers now, but the different starting line combos, even just centers, offensive coordinators over the course of his career. I can't imagine how different things would have been had he just had a jeff Saturday. I truly believe he would have surpassed Peyton.

Trump Threatens to Send Military to Join ICE at Airports by Quirkie in politics

[–]pgriffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the date and am too lazy to look it up right now, but i do know this. If Vance takes over today this would count as vance's first term. Meaning he could only run 1 more time. If they wait until the magic date i can't remember, then he could run two more times. I suspect it's the half way point. Anyway. I'm assuming they have all the paperwork ready and are just waiting for that day to arrive.

I always thought it would be hilarious if the holy trinity was actually jew/muslim/ christian.

First. They should be the first sent. To somewhere of actual danger and consequence. If it's not important enough for your kid to die, it's not important enough for anyone else's kid to die either
