It was an incredibly impressive play for us as fans obviously. But the commentators were gushing over it too. It’s the kind of play that earns him some money when scouts watch it.
We went through this earlier in the year with my folks when my dad got his cancer diagnosis. They burned through about 6-7% of their 7-figure retirement fund in the 7 to 8 months that he lived in nursing facilities, Assisted Living and Hospice. We chose nice facilities for him to spend his last months, so part of that cost was elevated by choice, but even the “cheaper” options aren’t that cheap.
My Brother-in-Law’s MIL went through a similar length of stay in various facilities in her final months and they could only afford places that were “okay”, which in reality are incredibly fucking depressing places. Old folks in gurneys moaning in the hallways. It still cost them a lot of money. The cost of End-of-Life care is shockingly, stunningly expensive. It sets up a perverse situation where the ill would prefer to just drop dead than burn through their retirement and estate.
Someone in reddit described him as low-information but high-compassion, which I think was an apt description and a good reason for Harris to go on his show. Let’s face it, people who are convinced by facts have already decided their vote. These are emotional and instinctual appeals rather than logical.
Yes he’s dumb. But he’s aware that he’s dumb and makes up for it with compassion and honesty. She’s also quite good at the emotional appeal angle as well.
I fucking hope he does. He’s going to drain the Republican Party of all life and money until he dies. He’ll be holding smaller and smaller “rallies” in hotel conference rooms rambling about random old movies. I want his life to end as pitifully and insignificantly as possible.
I agree that VP candidates don't really move the needle much on votes for. But Vance might be the most consequential VP pick for votes against.
He has the worst favorability rating of anyone on a modern Presidential ticket. He's somehow more repugnant to women than Trump because Trump is just the old lech Granduncle. Younger women deal with assholes like Vance on the regular and probably perceive him to be more dangerous.
I thought one of the major reasons to support legalization is that it would get legally reclassified so that actual medical research can be done on it.
I love that they’re arguing whether or not they should have moved up from #24 or down to #25 and we’re on here thinking we’re fine with giving up the #1 spot for a while.
I think this is based on that report one year which showed their AD having a bigger budget than UT’s. But as someone on here explained it was because of the fundraising to do the stadium reconstruction in the offseason. But TexAgs crowed about how they were “richer than the sips” because of this report.
If you’re going to be that pudgy and schlumphy, you can at least cross your arms or something so your shoulders don’t look like a rained-on dirt berm. The guy just lets his stupid arms hang by his sides like they’re paralyzed appendages. It makes him look even worse. He’s definitely not making the best of what he’s got physically.
He’s got the same silhouette as an inflatable clown punching bag.
