YouTube and podcasts gives everyone a soapbox now. It's sad.

selectix

The obnoxious camera work ruins this, though

I see two peaks. Is it the one in the front or the back?

That old guy at the end just needed to use the restroom

We don't talk about True Detective Season 2

That show totally ripped off Black Mirror

Technically, you can solve the gender issue in sports if you just no longer separate them into Men's and Women's teams.

But I suspect you will cause a massive representation problem with some sports being nearly impossible for women to make the team without the team being influenced to have more women. It would be a PR nightmere ten times more controversial than it is now.

Kaley Cuoco. Is it because she is funny?

It is sad that voters are so polarized that everything is binary.

She is Dick Cheney's daughter!!! Dick Cheney!! So why shouldn't she favor conservative judges?

So unless she swings wildy to the left and becomes a liberal, then she must be bad?

If we lose our moderate voice, we lose the foundation for common sense solutions that will benefit everyone. Instead we are stuck an extreme pendalum of constantly "winning" or "losing"

After a homeless person broke into our car in a parking garage for a nap, I have found it harder to sympathize with the homeless. The car smelled for months and they took valuables and destroyed the baby seats. I no longer immediately take the side of the homeless when I hear of a relocation effort even though I know one bad experience doesn't represent an entire group. But after a dozen other negative and scary experiences, it gets to you.

That is like saying Pelosi or Diane Feinstein wouldn't have won in CA without Biden's support. They literally could be caught on camera curb stomping puppies and still won their elections by a landslide as well.

"Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton is about the real life death of his son who tragically fell out of an apartment window. Once you know the context, the words will destroy you.

"Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven?"

"It's for research!"

The speech literally references colonialism in the past as his justification for a "new" world order. That is a page right out out of the "restoring of your national pride" MAGA propaganda playbook. Go forward by pulling up the past!

You are describing an hourly wage job. You get close to the same amoint of paid vacation and unlimited sick days for the high-paying white collar jobs...which would be worth moving for.

You probably will make at least 2x as much but you might have to work late or work weekends to meet deadlines and get the job done. It all various a lot depending on your industry and would be unfair to say one job represents them all.

My fellow moderates and I make up the biggest faction at 40%. We will stand up before it gets to that point. The hyper-partisanship right now is sensless but everything in the universe comes and goes in cycles.

Someone is going to accidentally find a really unique "geode" a hundred years from now

Hollywood Star Lanes should have leveraged the popularity of The Big Lebowski to drum up business from that cult following.

I hate that video of things I want to try are speed up 100x and fit into a 5 secondclip. And videos on r/idiotsincars show 2 minutes of normal, mundane driving before the actual accident.

selectix

Plot twist: the guy in the video caused the fire

That was one of the most cogent, nuanced comments I have seen on reddit in years. It is difficult to get a comment noticed these days that isn't polarized or binary to fit some myopic world view. Reddit used to be full of discourse, now it has evolved into a bit of a hivemind.

Edit: typo.

How often do the extreme conservative and liberal members within any party agree?

I think Kevin Johnson is the CEO of Starbucks now. Howard Schultz stepped down a while ago

People get mad even if you don't have a strong opinion about the conflict. It is possible neither party in the conflict has enough moral authority left to be in the right. Maybe that's why: everyone is picking A or B...but the answer is C.

Legally, the man with the sign. That seems to be the most important conclusion to me.
