Tim’s thread about anything but politics

If you think Ayton is the missing piece, you must have been missing a lazy player with zero basketball IQ. -
I find it hard to not see trans as mental illness...

Imagine being Rusty. Mrs. Rusty: How was your day, dear? Rusty: Great! I spent all day pretending to be a trans woman on the internet, Again. Mrs. Rusty: Mkay dear. Hey, can you change litter box #12? It's getting kinda smelly. Rusty: I just got my nails done, can you do it? -
Later in the thread I said I was drinking... Seriously though, I think they are overrated. IMO you can basically break songs down into music, vocals, and lyrics. CCR music sucks, it's basically simple 3 or 4 chord progressions with mostly rhythm guitar. The voice sucks. You might say it "goes" with the music, because you are used to hearing it together, but objectively he isn't a good singer. Lyrics, meh... Born on the bayou... born on the bayou... born on the bayou... I'd have to dig into their lyrics more, but I'm not interested. I could say the exact same for Tom Petty. I wouldn't say I hate them. I appreciate that both groups have a place in the history of American music. I just don't think either should sniff a spot on any top bands list.

I’m willing to question the media now.

More BBC lies. Since Hamas murdered and raped a bunch of Israelis on 10/7/23, the BBC's Arabic division has been a steaming pile of shiot. And this is just the ones they felt compelled to correct. Trust the MSM! -
Biden's EO Signer made it very difficult for schools to prohibit boys in girls' sports. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/biden-proposes-using-title-ix-to-stop-blanket-bans-on-transgender-athletes#:~:text=Biden proposes using Title IX to stop blanket bans on transgender athletes,-Apr 7%2C 2023&text=A rule change the Biden,19th News about the restrictions. Is the POTUS mainstream enough?

Sorry but it's not a fringe issue to the new mainstream of your party, which is the woke Left. You and the others are just trying to minimize it because you realize it is a losing issue for your side.

You think it's stupid to discuss how whenever the government subsidizes things, the underlying things tend to go up in cost? Bless your heart. Maybe explain to us again what a false dichotomy is.

Democratic Socialists of America "demand sheet" for Mamdani: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/weird-scary-and-insanely-stupid-social-media-stunned-by-anti-israel-dem-socialist-demand-sheet-for-mamdani/ar-AA1PX4ti?ocid=BingNewsSerp Seems focused on socialism, in a profoundly antisemitic way. This is like TimHauck's wet dream. Also, for those wondering how Mamdani could tie socialism to Islamism, here's a primer. I know, I know, Mamdani hasn't agreed to this, and it's not mainstream, because nothing on the ever-more-powerful far left is ever mainstream.

The previous owners of our house had 3 large-ish dogs. The carpeting smelled of wet dog, and we ended up removing it all (we wanted tile anyway). We did the remodel 3 years ago. My wife claims to still smell wet dog from our vacuum. -

Somebody listed you in a fock/marry/kill thread. I was going to say "marry" for you because of your sweet garage setup/tool collection. Also because you are too old for sex, so we could be like an old, sexless married couple. But I never posted in it, so... Welcome back. -
I put "affordable" in quotes. It's a matter of perspective. It's more affordable to the people getting free stuff. It's less affordable for the taxpayers paying for it. Of course you gloss over your total misread of my college/DEI analogy. I would too, if I were you. Actually I'd probably just stop posting if I were you.
-
Anything is "affordable" if you subsidize it enough. You know what would be even more affordable? Socialism, wheeeee!!!!! That doesn't address the underlying price increases, which was the point of the college/DEI analogy. Your inability to grasp the English language is amazing. I really hope it is just laziness, because I'm not sure you could function if it were an intelligence issue.

Rs aren't making it unaffordable. It IS unaffordable. I hope that the Rs vote to extend the subsidies, but with the understanding that the underlying costs need to be addressed. Some basic problems: 1. We need it to be for catastrophic care only. The underlying model -- young, healthy people will pay for old, unhealthy people -- was always wrong, and it is more wrong now that so many young people don't have jobs (another issue, probably beyond the scope of this). 2. Why are healthcare costs rising so much? I suspect that part of it was the subsidies. Specifically, once the government agreed to subsidize costs, the HC companies said Yahtzee, we can raise prices and people won't notice! It's like when the Feds got into the college loan business -- the colleges had no incentive to lower costs, so they built lazy rivers and hired 100 DEI VPs. Again, I'm speculating here as to the reasons, but the costs need to be analyzed.

You are equating UCLA to Oregon? Stick to being wrong about politics. USC is sneaky good, though. I know you are a UCLA fan, so I just figured I'd add that dig to you.
