Major League teams have the big markets, the nationally broadcasted games, the star players. They don’t need to go hard. Minors, they’ve got 20 year olds who will likely never reach the majors and washed up journeymen. They deliver a banger like the Rocket City Trash Pandas, that’ll sell t-shirts to people who haven’t even stepped foot in the state.

“When the whole world is crying poor and you’re living your life in this wealthy bubble, it’s really frowned upon,” she says. They’ve all seen The White Lotus. “No one wants to be like that.”

There are only two reactions to that show: “This is a biting caricature of how contemptible the bourgeoisie are” or “OMG look how fabulous their vacations are I wish I was rich like that.”

See, this is why I have this pet theory that an intra-class divide between the traditional capitalists and the professional-managerial class of capitalists will be a pre-cursor to socialist revolution in the West. There’s too much contradiction between the meritocracy, capitalism is about letting the cream rise to the top narrative and the reality of how late stage capitalism is functioning practically. As the contradictions heightened, those who’ve bought into the former will be at odds with the traditionalists.

I see r/politics hasn’t changed in their level of discourse

The trespasser/thief argument is so convoluted as disease control/structural integrity is the practical reason. But hey, it’s reddit-logo, everything has to be discussed in the most abstract, idealistic terms possible.

Is this a copypasta?

…wah? 99% of the time circumcision is either due to patriarchal religious beliefs or dads who want their son to “look like them.” Pure ass nonsense.

Inevitably, some cultural warrior chud will scream about how this sullies the legacy of Shakespeare and then they’ll get dogwalked in the replies by everyone pointing out that female characters were portrayed by men in Shakespeare’s day.

I’m out of the loop on this, what happened to the anti-circumcision movement?

Putting aside that Israel is very much so being the aggressor against the Palestinian, what does Iran being antagonistic against them have to with the U.S.? Israel can take of themselves, they’re not owed arms.

Likewise, incel communities were originally gender inclusive and focused more on physical and mental issues/disabilities than toxic mindsets. Until the misogynists moved in and pushed everyone else out.

 

You’re legally obligated to kill them.

 
 

This shit be fire yo

 

“Accidentally” is a big assumption here. The attorneys think the DOT doesn’t have jurisdiction to overturn the pilot program, and as there’s no federal dollars being doled out it’s unlikely that they could kill it on budgetary grounds.

 

This right here is why whenever I go appliance shopping, the first thing I say to the sales rep is “I want a dumb appliance.” Not just an app, but a goddamn cloud account, to use a dishwasher is insane. And that there’s been an enterprising group of hackers that have developed a Python-based bypass is both endearing but also feels so goddamn dystopian that such a thing needs to exist.

 

The plan reduces the number of college credits needed to enter the NYPD’s Police Academy, increases the number of credits earned during academy training and reinstates a timed-run requirement for graduation, Tisch said in a release.

The minimum college credit requirement for entry into the academy has been reduced from 60 to 24 credits, the release said.

 

Then how do you explain all these comments that have been deleted by the Creator? Checkmate, heathens.

 

It’s all hyper focusing on the psychotic minority of people who drive into Manhattan and how hard it is for them, despite having commutes that could easily be done with public transit. There’s a scant few soundbites from strap hangers, the people who are the vast majority of commuters. One of the networks had a long interview with a tourist from Philadelphia who drove in for a Broadway show. She’s going on about how tough it’ll be for commuters, like, shut the fuck up, you are out of your element, you don’t live here, you don’t work here, stop opining on things you know nothing about.
