Every single media bully and pawn actively attacking the G5 inclusion in the #CFP would’ve rooted for the Soviets at the Miracle on Ice in 1980. There’s nothing more American than rooting for the underdog when everyone counts them out.
@thejonwander@allie__voss My thoughts exactly. I don’t want to be cynical, but one is basically just getting lost in a corporate resumé database, and the other is a giant red flag due to the social media aspect. I’m always open to being convinced otherwise, but that’s how it seems to me right now
@megha_lilly There absolutely is nothing beautiful about Dombey and Son. I can do Frankenstein and British Romantic poetry, those are wonderful, but Charles Dickens is a hard unequivocal no.
@Jeremy_xyz@FightWithMemes I’d definitely say getting bullied as a kid was the genesis of my misanthropy. While I stopped the bullying eventually, my dislike for people has only been reinforced over the years
Miami Ohio Basketball is 30-0, but a large number of pundits have downplayed the accomplishment based on their weak schedule. FOIA requests have confirmed Miami AD David Sayler’s comments that they tried to schedule top teams but they all declined.
The football-ification of college basketball debate is not good. The NCAA Tournament is not about getting the best teams in. That's why there's 68 freakin' spots. Have you seen the bubble? Stop defending mid. I'm going to enjoy the Miami ride as long as it goes.
@SYNESTHEIZURE And even if there hypothetically was, we don’t know nearly enough about the vast majority of those practices to really make a judgement call on that. What we have was usually recorded by someone else, think Roman impressions of Germanic beliefs
@TPatbat It doesn’t help that there are people out there who have a religious-like view of therapy as something you absolutely have to have or else you’re somehow broken or morally wrong. Then again, people tend to double down when something gets accused of being a scam
@allie__voss I got invited to a book club once that read nothing but YA, but that was mixed gender I think. I don’t like YA so I didn’t join, but at least it wasn’t smut 🤷
