Mr. Nice! posted:The piss tape exists, but it's not Trump getting peed on. It's just hookers pissing on a bed at his direction because (I'm guessing his phrasing) "that friend of the family obama slept in it." Probably, but it would also endanger any less than blazing-red state GOP congressman to claim any kind of support for Trump at all after this as well.

Proud Christian Mom posted:some of my wife's family lives in Kansas and they are teachers who routinely complain about the collapsing education system but by loving god they'll keep pulling that red lever Same for literally all of my family but Oklahoma. Had 1 brother up there who stayed in Tulsa after graduating from Oral Roberts U and then after Katrina all the family that survived (except me) moved up to the Tulsa area also. They complain about the schools but have enough money to send their kids to the private schools so just do that and vote straight ticket R every year because 'abortion'.

It's cool that everyone in the DoD, Congress etc know the space force is a joke and just let it run without shooting it down because the president is broke brained. Even cooler that they'll do this without invoking the 25th amendment.

Crakkerjakk posted:I mean, maybe. Whole bunch of Democrats voted for the recent bank deregulation bill, which means either she wasn't able to whip them to oppose it or she thinks it's a great idea if she's got such iron control of the Dems in the house. The question is gonna be whether when the Dems get back in power she'll be behind the president (whoever that is) or if her ability to whip the party will mysteriously degrade when it comes to pro-corporate poo poo. "I remember that person from TV" or "royal wedding!!" is sufficient to drown out the screams of thousands of brown children unfortunately.

I love football but college athletics are a horribly broken thing that needs to die. While I was at U Texas the athletic Dept recorded an all time profit record for schools nationwide, bringing in over $220m and we're doing a $6m renovation to the football stadium. Meanwhile we were in our 2nd of a 3 yr long hiring and wages freeze because the school budget was hosed (repercussions of the 2008 crash). The college football experience is really neat and a very unique thing. But drat, it's just not worth the exploitation, biogtry and academic hipocracy.

As someone who teaches / has taught college football players, I'm willing to bet it's a majority of them that think they can make it, at least in the first 2 years.

Also I'm in STEM but will be the first to argue that college should be well more than a tech training campus.

Smiling Jack posted:just want to remind everyone that Theranos was a thing As someone who works with patient samples / does research and has to deal with HIPAA, IACUC and IRB paperwork and applications constantly this poo poo was amazing. Like, they went in with some assholish "silicon valley" mindset that 'the only reason this poo poo takes so long / doesn't work the way it should is because of excessive regulations and outdated oversight.' Then they proceed to ignore a bunch of safety and private protection regs. They get called out for it but since they are 'disruptors' they ignore it and get the big FDA swinging dick all over them as a result. Guess what guys, when they tell you to knock it off, you knock it off. Apart from all the safety violation poo poo their product also just wasn't going to work as good as they wanted it to, so they cocked up a bunch of stuff showing it worked great. Like, impossibly great but we can't show you how because its a trade secret but trust the guys that are ignoring a million ethical and safety standards that we are being honest on this one point. I hope that Theranos is used as a classroom example for years.
