@Amb8819@janecoaston I mean, I think this is a pretty widely held view. Most voters don't have a 4 year degree (fact), and many of them dislike those who do. They imagine grads are mostly coastal liberals with fake jobs who couldn't build something with their hands if their life depended on it.
@NYCDubliner@JosephPolitano@JerusalemDemsas But I also understand that you need to allow people to have some level of risky fun, even if you don't agree/understand, or you'll get demolished in a democracy. And parlays are incredibly popular, not because anybody thinks they'll actually hit a big one, but because they're fun
@NYCDubliner@JosephPolitano@JerusalemDemsas And I understand the counter point: that the fact that a risky bet is so fun is exactly why it's addicting and a problem. And I understand the econ/math reasons why that's true.
@DavidTa78624227@TerryC40058623@lionel_trolling@jessesingal That's what I don't get with all this. I fully understand the argument of why birthright citizenship is bad (even if I don't fully agree), but then...do something about it. Just asking the Supreme Court to pretty please do it for you seems like a bad strategy.
@JosephPolitano@JerusalemDemsas I mostly find these interesting, but banning parlays is pretty dumb. I understand why it's good on paper, but it's also extremely tone deaf.
@janecoaston The older I get, the more I realize that most terrible right wing ideologies are at least partially based in "I wish I was allowed to have/score a hot girlfriend in high school".
From the Taliban to the alt right, it's the driving force.
@g_mosumbo_18@souljagoyteller "This man murdered 3 people"
"Yeah, who cares, I find it much more concerning that a completely different person in another state murdered 5 people!"

@RoxTexAstros@TASKing13 Tbf, if your entire itinerary is NRG to downtown, it's pretty solid. And Metro bus from IAH to downtown is finally functional.
Yes, Houston Metro sucks overall, but I can see how a tourist can be tricked for a weekend.
@adhdrunsme@NateSilver538 I mean, even if your first point is correct...what a weird second sentence.
Idk. Not even about you. Just a weird thing about the Internet, how people just go straight to insults. Idk how that's supposed to be helpful.
I also disagree with sentence #1, but okay.
@adhdrunsme@NateSilver538 Dude. I'm not even super-anti-Trump. But this is the first time anybody talked about it.

He made a big deal about how he saved so much money, and "There'll be no leaks. There'll be no anything."
I agree it's a dumb story, but let's not lie about it.
