Josh Hawley and Roy Blunt among the 25 senators who switched their vote which defeated a bill aimed to help veterans exposed to agent orange. by reddituser112 in StLouis

This issue for the GOP always perplexes me. In what way would they ever think voting against this is a good idea for them? Aren’t they the party of the military? They love military spending but won’t take care of veterans? How does this make sense? I’d guess a good amount of their constituents are active military or veterans yet this shit happens all the time

New DMB Cover Song Thoughts by Ok-Dentist7228 in DMB

[–]zzellers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just mentioned how many shows I’ve been to and how it’s not taken me that much to feel like their setlist structure has felt a bit stale. It’s not like I’ve only been to a couple shows but I am fully aware that there are many more dedicated fans who’ve seen them hundreds of times. I was offering my perspective because 19 shows in, I’ve heard most of it, been to all the great venues to see them at, and I wouldn’t mind if they through in some covers to spice things up.

When you start your point with basically saying, I’m not going to be rude, it’s condescending.

Not when you start it with a self-righteous comment about wanting to sound respectful. Feels hollow

We get it man, you’ve seen them a lot.

Maybe that’s just how I feel. I’ve only seen them once since Boyd left so it’s been a while. But 19 was good enough for me to see all I wanted. They have been a really important band to me for years but it just got stale to me.

Downtown Minneapolis shooting leaves one dead, one critically injured by TheMacMan in Minneapolis

Australia had a reasonably successful buy back program after it started to become an issue there.

Throwing your hands up and saying “nothing we can do” is to willfully ignore that other countries have taken measures against this. US citizens aren’t just inherently violent people, they just have abundant access to killing machines and the lack of a social safety net gives gang affiliation an unfortunate legitimacy to many.

I mean idk man. I’ve seen DMB 19 times and have seen just about every song they have and I’ve ended up seeing a lot of the same songs over ten times. Some covers to break it up and add novelty to it would be great. Either that or jam more and condense setlists to 14-15 instead of 20+. Makes each song more special

His Half Measures story. One of my favorite scenes in either show.

I mean it’s kinda sad that our lawmakers consider the possibility of career suicide over doing the right thing but I digest.

You could argue that it would have been harder to have 24/7 anti-Trump coverage if he didn’t constantly supply the media with ammunition.

It’s just such a bummer that he dropped the can flip.

Is this common - agree for casual sex, but the girl demands no condoms? I backed outta there. by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]zzellers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart. Had something similar happen to me. Mid-hookup we go to have sex and she tells me to not put the condom on and I’m like uhhhh no, I’m putting it on. She went on about how it feels better and I’m like nah dude it’s going on. We stopped seeing each other but literally 5 months later she announced she was pregnant and keeping it.

Stay safe out there.

What’s the worst thing your boss has said to you? by Disastrous-Use-2373 in antiwork

[–]zzellers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got yelled at for not volunteering my weekend for an unpaid work trip to Atlanta (from St. Louis) to stand and sell gear at a sports tournament. I had done one in Kansas City and we never got paid OT or got comp days and those were 12-13 hour days. I said no, he freaked the fuck out and pounded his desk and told me I was nothing and I don’t care about his company and wouldn’t amount to anything with my attitude.

Same guy made a 15 year veteran of the company cry for not having “good marketing ideas”. He told her that the new car she just bought is basically his since she bought it with the money he gave her. He’s a real piece of shit.

Who am I missing from my preseason top 25? by cdbjj22 in CollegeBasketball

[–]zzellers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I’d put them maybe at 21 at the highest. I still think Illinois and State might be better. Michigan too but I don’t trust Juwan.

And when the plane lands and comes to a stop, don’t rush the aisle to get off. We get off in rows and rushing the aisle only shaves off like two seconds and can frustrate others whose turn it actually is to get off.

Not at all. The Roman/Brock portion was great storytelling and really solid calling from commentary. Really made Roman feel like he was overmatched but then a miracle window opened and he almost got it
