He didn't make a mistake and even then, offered an apology, but cancel culture works both ways, and the ratings for Katie's opener isn't looking so great. Not ready for David Spade, either. I'm probably not in until Paradise resumes.

Gotta get that Discount Tire road hazard warranty. Thing is, I don't even bother with Discount Tire anymore. These are on three-stage refinished HREs, Discount Tire would surely fuck up, so I switched to a mobile and enthusiast-oriented tire and wheel guy.- The New Car Fanatic Thread
Here's an excellent way to ruin my weekend and piss away $430 on a replacement tire. Was a new Continental Extreme Contact Sport in an odd size that I can't retrieve until Tuesday. I am now looking at LS/LT-swapped Jeeps to add to the stable.- 2021 NCAA Tournament - Meta thread
Bonus: The ACC remains absent after the Sweet Sixteen- Joe Biden 2021
Is this where we have an opportunity to fix it with legislation, or pass it on to the taxpayer and look the other way, while using Trump as a convenient yesteryear talking-point of distraction?- Bachelor/Bachelorette/Paradise Catch-All
Matt has so poorly handled this season that I'm likely to just delete the DVR queue and stop watching for a while. Bring back BIP, or I'm out.- Rewarding fiscal irresponsibility...
We're not supposed to discuss enforcement of the current law and amnesty quotas already in place, are we? Humane means of immigration exist through consulates, but it's not a swift process, nor accommodating enough to the masses who annually exceed these quotas, to the tune of one million annually. It's that piece of the system that's actually "broken," right now, not enforcement or states' rights.- Rewarding fiscal irresponsibility...
"We're gonna fix immigration, but don't come now," type messaging, and likely poor PR by the White House to Mexico and the rest of Central America. The unfortunate collateral to granting DACA amnesty might influence families to send off more of their children, for at least an opportunity to enroll in public schools, find a free meal/shelter and potentially land a future DACA-type fortune. Free flights to other border towns and diverting FEMA resources to pick up for CBP is bad PR to the American taxpayer as well.- Rewarding fiscal irresponsibility...
Concerned Democrats - "Have you tried just throwing a few squares at the plebes while looking the other way? We do that with our southern borders and it's all working out just fine! No, we don't need to address the root of the problem just yet, these tasty squares will hold them over until the next administration anyways!" Concerned Republicans - "Have you tried doing nothing about this while talking around the problem? Deflection is a far cheaper method, bro! I mean, someone's gotta pay the maintenance schedule for the Corporate Learjet."- Rewarding fiscal irresponsibility...
That's great when inflation isn't a thing and central banks aren't printing their asses off among an asset bubble in the longest bull market run in history. This ball of yarn will never correct itself.- Rewarding fiscal irresponsibility...
The title of the thread is "rewarding financial irresponsibility" and, ironically, to keep the pitchforks down and money printer hot, we're now in full-send basic income* *one or more fuck trophies required- Rewarding fiscal irresponsibility...
Great win for the Banks and Chinese goods I suppose? Fantastic mechanism to slow down the already-snail's-pace of the IRS, much like diverting FEMA resources to border response. It's another form of entitlements the middle-class taxpayer is on the hook for, and one that I'll never realize. I support the economic stimulus motivation, but when 60% of the first-round CARES-act stimulus payments were diverted into savings or paying down debt, these direct payments have proven marginally effective. https://www.nber.org/digest/oct20/most-stimulus-payments-were-saved-or-applied-debt- Rewarding fiscal irresponsibility...
It's no longer a tax credit, the IRS is now issuing $300 monthly checks to the too-WIDE pool of eligibility, including those who now have no work incentives/requirements. It's absolutely an effective stimulus, but becomes basic income policy if the benefit continues beyond December. It's flawed and has no spend stipulation, diapers be damned.- Rewarding fiscal irresponsibility...
Funny, given the title of this thread, I assumed it hinted at ever-expanding entitlements programs, now the no-strings-attached, $3,600-per-child benefit attached to the COVID-19 relief bill. https://www.businessinsider.com/child-allowance-payment-stimulus-bill-basic-income-2021-3 https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2021/03/14/thanks-to-the-stimulus-bill-child-allowances-are-here-to-stay-but-we-have-to-pay-for-them/?utm_source=pushly- Hi Fi and Home theater set ups
I'm jealous of the light control and contrast of modern LCD and OLED displays-- they'll always be a couple steps ahead of the projector but also difficult to mimic the cinema feel. This is one of those interests where if you keep using it, you'll keep convincing yourself of the ways you could "make it better." I'm now as the point where I'm ready to ditch the AVR for a processor/amp(s) setup (Yamaha CX/MX-A5200 or Anthem AVM/MCA) and relocate the projector into an enclosure outside the room. Have a hundred other projects I'd rather knock out ahead of it.- GEORGIA CAN SUCK MY DICK

I caught that in a different article this morning, going to cross-post it in the Jawja thread.- Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
"Ice-T, Eazy-E, Malcom-X, Fuckin' A... Oh wait, that's been done before too.- Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
Woke crowd: Can't start Hudson Card, too many "privilegeds" huddled around the center. Woke crowd: Coach Banks needs to enroll in sensitivity training. Girlfriend checks out but pet monkey is highly racist.- Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
Fuck that, I'm tired of the shifting goalposts of cultural "racist" victimhood, mostly by ill-read and marginally-experienced Millennial little orange-slice-eating, everyone-got-a-trophy shits. Their social media slanders of self-declared agendas and demands are equally as bullying as one who shames a donor's E-mail with "the blacks" in its content. There's a legitimate cause to reform treatment misappropriations, not reinvent a brand because their bygone history doesn't fit their agenda. We're also not alone in this currently, Baylor is about to deal with the same nonsense that affects the entire institution's name.- Bachelor/Bachelorette/Paradise Catch-All
