I dunno, seems like Chapo has done OK at recruiting minority guests. Pod Save America made a whole network, so they've got more resources to dole out. Chapo doesn't seem interested in creating a network, so all they have are 2 guest host spots a week.

psa is hate listening for the weak. only the strongest can handle hate listening to the slate political gabfest.

I listen to that! I turn it off in a rage far less than PSA, but maybe that's because they aren't claiming to be leftists. Slate's Trumpcast and the 538 podcast too.

Bringing up stuff like journalistic malpractice with stories involving Russia isn't functionally useful for achieving that goal so he's considered an enemy now instead of just an irrelevant fringe jouralist.

It's weird to bring up journalistic malpractice to defend a guy who burned a source because her leak totally dunked on his narrative.

I know it sounds a bit tinfoily but I think Lovett is more lefty than he acts but he knows his brand is HEAVILY wrapped up with the most milquetoast dems at this point so we get poo poo like this where he'd rather be nice to his republican friend lying than a leftist acquaintance talking about a massively popular thing.

Maybe I'm just trying to justify liking the guy, though. Seems like he's a nice guy and all and I like his twitter poo poo.

As far as I can tell, Lovett's audience is entirely wine moms who lobby for Blue Cross Blue Shield to be able to seize sick people's houses but think they're super leftists because they went to the women's march.

Variations of this question got asked a few times through early church history, causing a great deal of strife. I mean, not nearly as many deaths as "this wafer represents Jesus" vs. "this wafer literally turns into the literal flesh of the literal physical body of Jesus when a priest puts it in your mouth," but yeah. Christian schisms are fun reading when you're in the right frame of mind for it and have no stake in the outcome.

Every once in awhile, I forget that this is what Catholics actually believe.

And I was raised Catholic. I mean, they taught it to us, but they're smart enough to de-emphasize it as much as possible.

It must have been weird for Whedon to follow up on the work of a director who made an entire film about how his brand of sexy girl power feminism is dumb and bad.

They're right about him being the tryhard audience self-insert character. Problem is, at his best he's just a less likeable version of the TV Flash.

I never watched the TV show, but it did seem like a big "gently caress you" that they didn't even audition the TV guy for the movie role.

There are so many hosed up parts to this story. I especially love how the store was open, and that people had to time their breaks. Like.... this isn’t cute. It’s hosed up.

It's got nothing on Waffle House wedding. "No, you can't have the day off for your wedding"

quote:

For years, the couple tried to marry on their Independence Day anniversary. But the bride was always scheduled to work. Instead of waiting any longer - she got the day off at the last minute; Mathis had to report for the morning shift - the couple of nine years decided to seal the deal at work.

I'm gonna need you to quantify the lifetime expected value of a ditch digger so I can say definitively if the world needs one or not.

I need to weigh their "achievements" vs. their food and housing costs. You know ... for society's sake somehow.

70 iq is supposed to be borderline retarded

IIRC, it's a normal distribution with 100 as the median and a 15 standard deviation. 96% of people fall within 2 standard deviations of the median, so 70 or less is like bottom 2%.

But ya know, IQ is a dumb measurement, and people with 70 IQ still got valid opinions and feelings. Except for that dude who's like "open minded" about Nazis.

They periodically have to increase the difficulty of the test to keep the average at 100, so if any old people brag about their score, depending on when they took it, they're actually borderline retarded.

How many Wilhelms in the 100?

I don't remember. The ones that I remember were a zombie movie where the guy takes the business end of a running lawnmower to a bunch of zombies and it lasts like 5 minutes. And one where this chick's banging a guy and she cuts off his head with a cleaver and then where his head was she puts and shrunken head and continues to bang the corpse.

If anyone can find me video of the zombie one, I would like to watch it again.
