Dayton has been getting better the past 4-5 years. It's mainly the people who live in the country areas surrounding it who are legit scared of it for some reason who weird me out.

The reason they're scared starts with the letter "B".

It's a shame that she's probably going to be 100% on board with the GOP again as soon as the election ends because she looks so close to just snapping and telling them all to gently caress off but she never will. She'd still be a quasi-white supremacist either way though.

I'd have had a newfound respect for her if she said "Mr. Spekaer do you really want sex scandals from the 90s brought back up? You? Of all people? Are you sure about this?" Does she not realize she can make Newt go silent or completely lose his mind by pointing out he was cheating on his (dying?) wife while going after Bill for his affair with Monica? Or does she know that bringing it up could make the GOP go nuclear against her or Fox News if they wouldn't immediately shitcan her?

earlier tonight her twitter account (and i assume also her show then) was flogging the OBAMA KNEW!!! ABOUT EMAILS!!! story so yeah, she's just yet another one of the mainstream GOP intellectual lights that push the dumb fever swamp blog stories as news and then wonder why their candidates for elected office keep coming out of the comment sections

A big downside of Trump is going to be that as soon as anyone whos only 90% as big of a misogynistic racist xenophobe runs for the ticket, the droves of republicans will flock back saying "ohhh finally a good republican again! What a good man! He's sure no Trump! Someone we can support! Yay white guy!!". Hes moved the bar far enough that republican candidates can be worse than ever, but just not as bad as Trump and get taken as a serious candidate and moderate who can be supported.

Dayton/Youngtown/Toledo/Akron are all depressing as gently caress, and you shouldn't live there. Most of my extended family lives in the outskirts of Akron or Youngstown, and it's like stepping into a Stephen King novel everytime I go out there. Don't do it.

You can order them in what are called "Ways", which go from 3-5 Ways depending on your preference.

IE,

3-way: Spaghetti, chili, cheese
4-way: Spaghetti, chili, cheese and a choice of onions or beans
5-way: Spaghetti, chili, cheese, onions, and beans

I always get mine as a 4-way with onion (extra onion please) and habanero cheese (read: not loving spicy in the slightest, gently caress your delicate and overly-sensitive Midwestern palates! :argh:) and usually with a side order of fries and a coney. If I'm not feeling chili, then I get their buffalo chicken wrap.

I can't help it; raised on it, love it as comfort food, sue me! :colbert:

Youngstown is pretty depressing. Although I never knew much about the NW, like Lima.

Ravenna is so small (about 11k) it's kind of a stretch to even call it a town. If that's big enough to consider, there are 11k shitholes all over the country that are mostly interchangeable in awfulness.

Also I always think its weird that people call SE Ohio "rust belt", since as far as I know everything east of, say, Chillicothe has never been anything but farm country (maybe a couple coal mines near the river?). But I guess if you make a mental line from Cleveland to Pittsburgh ...

I'm pretty sure Thailand isn't the comparison you're looking for. I'd lean toward something like a blend of Pho and the bricks of whale blubber Inuit people chow down on when they're doing the old school hunting feast stuff.

I lived in Ohio for quite a while and I don't think I ever had Skyline chill. I think the first time was actually from a can as a dip at a party with a bunch of old Athens peoples in Seattle.

Chili on top of noodles? Looks pretty dry for chili and no side of cornbread.

The shredded cheese ratio is pretty crazy too.

It's okay, I think it's ludicrous too with the cheese. They always dump the poo poo on there and I have to grab a clump and put it to the side just to have what would be considered a merely excessive amount of cheese for a plate of chili.

I was thinking again about that Scott Adams tweet a few pages back. He's setting it up so that if another terrorist attack happens, he can gloat that Obama's policies (and thus Clinton's) are weak on national security, and if another attack doesn't happen, that his argument has been validated. When he's been talking up Trump's persuasion skills, he often points out Trump tries creating these "heads I win, tails you lose" situations. By saying that NATO allies do not supply enough troops and funding, he can claim it is because of his threats if there is ever an increase in troops and funding.

My interpretation is that in his zeal to try to find another rhetorical pairing like this, and show off his psychological manipulation techniques, he stopped putting as much effort into processing what he was actually saying. All his tweets afterward present himself as being bullied by Clinton supporters accusing him of a psychological break, too lazy to present a decent rebuttal. I'd say that amount of effort is only fair for someone who has made his audience unsure whether he's interested in having an honest conversation with them, or he's interested in stroking his ego while he manipulates them.
