Nintendo Kid posted:The guy claimed it was acceptable to drink like double your daily caloric value per day in milk. It was strange and he was trying to use it to justify some other dumb argument. I can't remember, but also it's either the Freep founder or the Conservepedia guy who boasts of drinking an implausible amount of milk daily. Also on the Christie thing. Wasn't the bridge shut down for about 5 days, and caused complete chaos every day. Shouldn't he have noticed it, found out what was going on, and ordered the bridge reopened by about day 2? I mean he claims not to have known anything about it till he read about it subsequently in the Wall Street Journal, but wouldn't the bridge story have been front page news in New Jersey papers and local TV news? For a Governor, he and his advisors sound implausibly incurious about noticing what's going on in his state.

It wasn't complete and utter chaos, it was really really bad traffic. And sometimes they have to close lanes on the GWB for real repairs/accidents so it's not unthinkable that it wouldn't be on his radar

redreader posted:I heard so much about it and was exited to try it but it sucks. All of my midwestern colleagues forgo actually-good restaurants that serve good food to get a loving in and out burger at least once per visit. I hate fast food but in and out is like... the best poo poo-tier fast food there is. It's still poo poo-tier though. It's poo poo food. We have like, thai, ramen, mexican, italian, mediterranean, pho, steak, restaurant burgers (not poo poo fast food burgers) in walking distance, and they can expense food, but they drive to loving in and out. What the hell. Nostalgia, maybe? When I was in high school, In and Out was the best poo poo-tier fast food joint around, and so we went. Sure, for a dollar or two more you could go to tommy's famous chiliburgers, but who wants to spend that kind of money? Nowadays, in addition to having more disposable income (what with the whole job-having adult thing), food quality has increased overall, with even places like McD's and Carl's trying to improve their quality (or at least, spend money on claiming they did so). With mixed results.

Had a friend who first heard that CFA did the anti-gay campaign thing but didn't mind it until it blew up on social media and only then did he boycott. Then they did the whole PR song and dance and then he started going back.  They still support anti-LGBT groups!

As an idiot that actually likes fast food (but knows it's garbage so I try not to eat it often) I did like their spicy chicken sandwich, waffle fries, and lemon-aid. I've been good about never going back after they (probably) paid off that one activist to lie and say they had totally changed and everything was cool despite still giving money to anti-LGBT groups, just not as openly. Boycotting really is a pain in the rear end since so many companies are terrible such as the tons of stuff owned by the Kochs or Nestle Corporation.

Hillary Clinton consumed calories to generate energy and the New York Times is on it!quote:At the time of this writing, much about Mrs. Clinton’s order was still unknown. We do know that it was a chicken bowl (with guacamole, according to ABC News). Less known, but critical: Did she get rice and beans, which are free with the order? What about fajita vegetables, or more than one kind of salsa? Even more important, from a calorie perspective: Did she include cheese and sour cream? This information, much like the contents of some of her emails when she was secretary of state, we may never know.

Dolash posted:It seems gay marriage managed to spread across America mostly as a state-by-state thing, in no small part assisted by the Obama Administration being quietly supportive, to the point that even if a Republican President were to win in 2016 and immediately try to crack down on states where gay marriage has now been legal for years it'd be wildly unpopular and be met with stiff resistance. I think this was a conservative response to exactly those two sweeping measures, and liberal groups are just starting to realize that the same tactics work for them. In theory, that's the very idea of "laboratories of democracy," but I think that idea has been outdated since the 1940s for the most part. Also the gay marriage issue is a little different than marijuana, because (I think) only 13 states of the 37 with legalized marriage crossed that threshold legislatively. The other 24 were all judicial decisions. Some number of those surely would have legalized soon anyway, but for image reasons it is different.

They criticize people of their exact same income level for not being motivated enough, abjectly oppose programs that would be paid for by a higher income bracket and benefit them and view "ivory tower" education as a net negative. If your president is educated it is an insult in their eyes because it is a concept ultimately foreign, which is why the generic Texas politician is all the rage. They can sound dumb, have the right non east coast (IE the bad guys who have Ivy leagues and lattes and whatever the gently caress else they associate with alien culture) accent and act out of spite rather than logic. Its all about the base impulse and reveling in it, they know how irresponsible it is and are PROUD of it because they think it spites people who they think are too smart to be true Americans. Its a pretty hosed up culture at a lot of levels. Nolanar posted:There will be bonus points for whoever makes the quickest pivot between criticizing Hillary's age and invoking the glorious legacy of Ronald Reagan (pbuh). If this race wasn't spattered with all matter of casual misogyny I would actually rethink my notions on the flexibility and thought put into these issues by the base on the right. This makes it so much easer, challenging my own assumptions would take so much energy and they are doing me the favor of confirming them anyway.

I actually do think that Hillary's age is a slight concern, if only because Reagan's brain was mush by his second term. But then that means Bill will pull the strings behind the presidency and I guess that's not the worst thing in the world.
