@TheRoseCompany @ScubaBootie @obvious_shirts 1:01, 1;39, and 2:13 were all balls

@ScubaBootie @obvious_shirts He’s painting it. There’s only one pitch strike that was debatable.

Just wanted to highlight how ridiculous the 1st inning of Kerry Wood’s 20K masterpiece was: - 100mph to the umps face to start the game - What HoFer Craig Biggio called his most embarrassing swing of his career - Strikes out NL batting leader Derek Bell on possibly the nastiest, definition of fall-off-the-table, curveball you’ve ever seen - Strikes out HoFer and one of the greatest fastball hitters…on three fastballs. -Just absolutely disgusting stuff - Kerry Wood Forever

@Ed1473439527977 @Beobachter5764 @lizisamused @CartoonsHateHer The guy in the video is 100% on gear lol

@Beobachter5764 @lizisamused @CartoonsHateHer This guy is near the peak of natural muscle development - a body that takes years and years of work in the gym. Women who ‘don’t like muscle’ will tell you this ‘isn’t too big’. They don’t know what they’re on about. They just dislike steroid levels of muscle but don’t realise

Want to guess which body type was more popular among conservative women than liberal women? How starkly women's physical standards change as they age from 20 to 40? All of that and more inside! Link in replies.

@CartoonsHateHer @ReubenR80027912 He likes that you're slim. Probably doesn't care at all about size.

@ReubenR80027912 lol I disagree, I think my husband would find me hotter if I had like 2 extra cup sizes, although I don't think it matters to him that much, certainly not enough to fund breast implants. he'll never say it because he's nice!

@sam103373865462 @OhYouBlockhead Snack size Cheetos only last you 3 minutes. Double the price of the stripper per hour

@OhYouBlockhead Can't afford snacks but can blow 1200 bucks in a strip club?

Why Your Vegas Trip Sucks First, you're late. You get to your hotel at about 4 pm, just in time to wait with all the other yokels dragging their luggage in one giant line of the damned. You're stuck anywhere from 1-3 hours, covered in travel dust, waiting to start any of the super fun, cool things you know you're going to do. You check in with your online reservation for the cheapest room. You don't tip the front desk clerk. When you get to your room, instead of feeling like a Fun Vegas Tourist, for some reason you feel like a kid too easily impressed by the cheap marble in the bathroom. You have a big, shitty view of the roof of an adjacent administrative building and half a parking lot. Also, as soon as you step foot in your room, you realize you're starving but surrounded by capsules of tiny, cheap snacks you can't afford. After relaxing, which includes turning on the TV for some reason, you hurry back downstairs to "beat the crowds." You go to the casino. You sit at the first $15 minimum blackjack table you see, a 6:5 continuous shuffle machine covered in sidebets you don't understand. You tip the cocktail girl a red $5 chip and ask for $3 change. On your biggest hand, you split two 9s against a 7 and get mad when you lose. You go back to your room and get dressed in wrinkled clothes then go down and wait in line for dinner at the most popular restaurant where you're staying. Maybe you did some Reddit research on "best steakhouse in Vegas." It doesn't matter. You wait 45 minutes to be seated in the Den of Hell, surrounded by drunk bachelor parties shouting at the top of their lungs and grey, skeleton men clinking glasses of wine with their daughters. You order the steak with the Chef's Star next to it, specifying rare so they know you know. You see a group of girls who don't look twice at you. Whatever. It's late enough that you go to a strip club, using a Vegas Insider tip that you can get limo service for free. You tell yourself you won't get scammed. In the strip club, you immediately go to a private room for with the first girl who talks to you. You spend $1,200 for an hour without getting so much as a high five in return. You lie to your boys in the group text. In the Uber back to your hotel, you text your ex. Maybe you hate yourself and spread this out over a 4-day weekend. On your flight home, you write something pithy about how Vegas sucks. The whole city is overrated.

@Lordpandawaffle @whitesundesert My wife watches me replace swaybar links on her car and happily trades that for folding laundry. And I say "trade" only in the loosest definition of the word - we don't keep score of domestic labor. I imagine most good marriages don't.

@Lordpandawaffle @whitesundesert In the same sense you could buy new clothes instead of doing laundry.

The feminists who complain men don’t do enough around the house seem to have absolutely no idea what men do around the house.

@Lordpandawaffle @whitesundesert "something that doesn't need to be done" Beats the hell out of foundation or driveway repair

@whitesundesert Choosing to do something that doesn't need to be done? Digging it by hand instead of waiting to get equipment to do it faster?

@ranman_the @wil_da_beast630 Internships/apprenticeships would be vastly superior than the 2nd highschool model. We can't keep striping young people of prime working years and tens of thousands of dollars.

In a knowledge economy, you need far more 115+ IQ workers than exist. HS Immigration can make up for some of that, but the only way to fill the roles is to train up some midwits as best you can & hope they don’t mess up too much. University is currently the best way to select the least destructive midwits to take knowledge worker roles during this competency crisis, although this flawed solution will soon be outmoded by AI advancements.

Lost in the IQ debate in the comments - where Moe points out that the figure is 5% if you set the population mean rather than the white mean at 100, or simply have Blacks at (89) with whites at 100 - is a deeper point. Well under 20% of WHITE people have an IQ of 115, using OP's bell curve. But, something like 70% of all white and ADOS males at least try college. Very arguably, a ton of people are wasting their time and should learn a trade.

@DanteJeffe14617 @L0m3z @Goodstyle42 The only rightwinger in the federal government with any sort of functional power is Stephen Miller. Republicans stand to get slaughtered, but ringwingers really only lose immigration enforcement.

@KappaCheatma @L0m3z @Goodstyle42 You right wingers.

Expert class libs like Matt really thought Obama had solved politics and the country would just keep doing Obamism forever. Much of the post Obama-era derangement is their psychic shock at realizing most people—outside their No Kings bubble—now regard him as an utter failure.

@DanteJeffe14617 @L0m3z @Goodstyle42 Who is you guys?

@KappaCheatma @L0m3z @Goodstyle42 You guys are going to get slaughtered in the next election and ‘28.

@DanteJeffe14617 @L0m3z @Goodstyle42 Popular vote is only one of many options. It doesn't have any special providence over 'enacting your worldview'

@L0m3z @Goodstyle42 Your ability to enact your worldview does in fact depend on how popular Trump is and your worldview is very unpopular.

@thierryw @ArthurBoreman That is what this is

@ArthurBoreman Selon le décret 93-1074 du 13 septembre 1993[8], les pains "quelle que soit leur forme" « de tradition française » ne peuvent être fabriquée qu'avec les ingrédients suivants : farine de blé, eau, levure et/ou levain, sel.

Is every single person have some sort of mental illness about American bread? Here is a “sourdough” loaf, baked and sold AT WALMART. It has ZERO grams of added sugar, less than may French baguettes in France…

@Jedwards_radio @thecavemommy @fimbres_paul Salvage title

@thecavemommy @fimbres_paul What planet do you live on?

Conversation with Dave Ramsey (probably) Person: Hey Dave, I’m thinking about buying a new car Dave: NO Person: But Dave, check out these numbers Dave: NO Person: Dave, do you know what the used car market is like these days? I literally have $20k for a down payment on a new car. Dave: Then buy a 20k car. Person: But Dave, a used $20k car has 150k miles on it already. I drive about 15k miles a year. If I financed the car over 5 years, the car would still only have 75k miles on it by the time I’m done paying it off. I would get at least 8 extra years out of the car. Dave: You can’t afford the car if you have to finance the car Person: But Dave, I make $9,000 a month. A modest $400 a month car payment is very do-able for me. Dave: You’re going to be losing so much money to interest Person: Not really Dave. I have very good credit. I got approval for a 4% interest rate. Dave: That’s $2,000 extra you’d be paying in interest. Imagine if that was sitting in the stock market? Person: Yeah but Dave I’ll not be spending thousands in repairs on my car all the time if I get a used one, so in the grand scheme of things what’s $2,000 interest? Dave: No, buy a used car Person: I have 3 kids. We just want a reliable car and will drive it for 15 years. Dave: Go have your kids powerwash a house. No new car.

@babyblueice22 @OGmusical @MelbaofNM Exactly. They're grasping for excuses instead of just telling the truth: they don't want to commit to the responsibility/time of having kids

@KappaCheatma @OGmusical @MelbaofNM No -- they do mention it, but their main claim is that their brand new, $450K house in a $$$ suburb at 2000 square feet IS NOT BIG ENOUGH for even one baby.

Truly everything is framing. Two blue-collar workers without college degrees and associated debt own a large home in a nice area, have the discretionary income to support golfing, and are not living paycheck to paycheck. They feel they cannot afford to have children. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are raising children well on much less. This is not an affordability problem, this is a risk tolerance or values problem. I am personally perfectly fine with people choosing not to have children if that isn’t their priority, but telling the truth is important.

@OGmusical @MelbaofNM This couple's reason for staying childless has absolutely nothing to do with golf or savings rate, though

@MelbaofNM "Having a child would mean literally no savings and the notion that you could spare $100 to go golfing is a fantasy." Yeah for some reason people are not viewing this as a viable choice.

@lacherbauer @devahaz It depends. I'll buy fresh brioche for the sandwich unless I know I'll be eating with a european. Then I'll make it on bleached wonderbread with miracle whip and American cheese

@KappaCheatma @devahaz Are you just eating naked ham slices and cheese like charcuterie? Lol

Europeans see a photo of an aisle of 500 different packaged sliced breads in a US grocery store and can’t comprehend the scale of abundance in America that there’s also a whole entire separate giant bakery section full of breads like these

@lacherbauer @devahaz For shame!

@KappaCheatma @devahaz I’m American.

@lacherbauer @devahaz It's peasant food. You guys have enough money to buy meat and dairy. We like to call you europoor, but you're not THAT poor

@KappaCheatma @devahaz Actual blasphemy.

@lacherbauer @devahaz Polish Chicago grocer bread isnt any better than the slop you can buy at Walmart. You guys have plenty of decent diet staples, why lose your shirt over bread? Its only reason for continued existence is being a delivery vehicle for actual food

Go to a German bakery in Germany or to a Polish grocery store in Chicago, and then compare with Whole Foods. Your response here is a good example of that, we have access to good “mediocre” bread. But, for “good” bread in the US you need to find a niche bakery or an ethnic European shop.

@odoacer493 @scrimsyyy >breakfast >bread

@scrimsyyy Never compare US supermarket bread to stuff sold in Europe. Not everyone likes corn syrup in their morning staple.

i'm crine they're all so insistent we don't know what they're talking about when they say bread. every full sized grocery store has this
