That Midwestern Guy

I’m on the thing. bsky.app/profile/midwes…

@WittyEchoes My wife is more educated than me. 🤷‍♂️ I’m looking forwards to the day she makes more money than me (tech school straight into work she went to college as an adult and is just starting out).

MEN ONLY: Would you date a girl who’s more educated and has a higher degree than you?

@JeninYounesEsq @kthalps I loved the “you can’t find Jewish rabbis calling to nuke all Muslims.” Umm… not in America I guess. But let’s take a look at Israeli politicians timelines for posts about Arabs/Muslims to see “both sides” here please.

Maher's monologue is so full of illogic and factual inaccuracies it's hard to list them all. He conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel and Zionism, even substituting the words for each other when allegedly quoting someone. He claims Randy Fine has never called for nuking or killing Palestinians, which is a blatant lie or at best very sloppy, since Fine has done precisely those things. And the claim it's antisemitic to focus on Israel is such a tired one. We don't fund and provide diplomatic cover for the atrocities of any other country the way that we do for Israel. We aren't violating the First Amendment for the Sudanese government, nor are we banning the Taiwanese from this country. North Korea isn't buying an election in Kentucky. Americans single out Israel for criticism because (1) its crimes are horrific and have been going on for 80 years; (2) as Americans, we can potentially influence our government's policy of supporting Israel; and (3) no other country exercises this kind of influence over our laws, policies, and politics. It's not that complicated.

@mrs_socialista How wild will it be if the US invades Cuba and They have successful drone strikes on US soil? The empire is crumbling.

Cuba has a right to defend itself and have thinga that will help them do it. It doesn't mean they are planning an attack. That is projection as always. Cuba has never done shit to the US unlike the numerous ways that the US has physically harmed Cuba for decades.

@MJ_Melendezz I just don’t understand why Cags isn’t in there every single day at this point. Does Q hate him? Even if you feel like the season is still salvageable what lineup is not made better with him? I stopped watching weeks ago. I hate I paid for the year in advance.

Good thing we didn’t play Cags today

@fatfabfeminist @loud_socialist Is the substance a fucking documentary?

@JamesTate121 @dhartk I believe de la Rocha et al covered this in one of their pieces of work. Turns out that some of those who work forces are indeed the same that burn crosses.

One and the same.

every single thing about this video is funny to me

@VinnysCorner1 Probably one of the great 9-ballers or snooker players. The games are often quite boring because the first shooter gets to run the table frequently, but the tough shots are really fun to watch. Effren Reyes maybe?

You get $5 million to watch one players' highlights for 72 hours straight. Choose your athlete…

@royalsclubhouse Yeah and the boos that followed showed at least some of 20,000 or so in attendance realized it too.

Been asking all year why Maikel Garcia no longer runs out ground balls. Just cost the #Royals a lead off base runner right there.

@indoor_wildling Nudge nudge about blue light being bad before bed… I post from my phone, smoking a joint before bed… no blue light here… <_< >_>

Can’t sleep so I decided to kick everyone’s ass in overwatch and now I’m finally feeling better and a little less edgy.

@OldRowSwig @ljmontello Ticket masters parent companies owns a huge chunk of the big venues in the country. Hey squeezed out most competitors even for places they don’t directly own.

Major concert tours are cancelling because of unsold seats? Have they considered lowering the price of tickets from $2,000 or using someone who is not Ticketmaster for ticket sales?

@nut_history My favorite statistical anomaly is Khris Davis. His season-to-season numbers and even midseason splits were so consistent (.251? .253?) it was scary.

Adam Dunn: 2005: exactly 40 HRs
2006: exactly 40 HRs
2007: exactly 40 HRs
2008: exactly 40 HRs

@Shauncore Given how bad the royals have played in April the last few years I think I’ll just wait until may next year and see if they do it again.

How tf are you going to offer half off in MAY?

@kcroyalstv Guess we know not to subscribe until may next year.

@EoinHiggins_ @MissPavIichenko Things I listen to Dawkins about: Evolution That’s it.

I simply cannot overstress how brick stupid this man is. Reddit circa 2006 in shambles.

@qopsee99 That’s in August so probably.

Do you guys think you’ll still be tweeting when you’re 40?

@Jomboy_ Yes. There HAS to be a line somewhere. Maybe you could make it so if it’s within the Margins it can’t be overturned but then everyone watching the game just knows it should have been the other way and has to move on…

Genuine question: Whatever you change the margin to… you’re always going to have calls that are 0.5% within that new area right? You can’t run away from this, right?

@CaptainCons It’s not hard - I’m a big dude over 6 foot and I’d just lay in bed and let them climb on me and use my legs as a slide… Man I miss that.

@CaptainCons Dad of 2 - they’re 19/15 now so not much playing anymore. But like… why not? So long as you’re parenting first, doing play second it’s fine. I’d come home from a 10 hour day and I (almost, I’m human) always took at least 5-10 minutes to play in some manner with my kids daily.

Some of my fondest memories are just having a catch with my dad in the backyard Don’t fall for this crap

@PokerJermz Because J5s is easier to play BvSvB than little pairs and is ahead of a lot of the calling ranges (T9s-54s, one gappers, etc) and a pair of jacks/pair of 5s wins at showdown a lot more often than 22.

Most poker players get this wrong in 6-max BTN: A2o = fold 22 = open ~ 30% of the time J5s = open 100% of the time Why does J5s open more than 22
