Nostalgia4Ass posted:Post 9/11 GI Bill is the one exception. Speaking of this, I have a close friend who told me he identifies as a republican (doesn't like Trump but sees himself as a Tom Nichols type) recently because of this because that bill helped make him who he is, so therefore, he's a republican. I asked where he got that idea. "Well it got passed by Bush." "It was passed by and written by a Dem controlled Congress. I mean it was bipartisan bill but bush had no hand in it other than signing the final bill." "Don't care!"  His wife is pretty good at calling out his stupidity on this stuff but it's incredibly grating sometimes.

Sacrist65 posted:I feel like I know what the result will be, but you could try telling him that it was introduced by jim Webb (D-Vietnam) and was originally opposed by the guy selected to replace Bush, John McCain(R-Island owned by lobbyist) because of retention issues it would cause. Which is partially why it sat on the presidents desk for a year. Oh I did. "Jim Webb was a Marine bro, just like you, and his son was a Marine too, that's why he wrote and pushed for the bill." "Nope, Bush!" I love him to death but he's dumb as poo poo with this stuff sometimes and will also get very  after reading any book (no matter how outdated) because he thinks it makes him more qualified than anyone else to speak on the subject. Because he read a book. One book. Cognitive dissonance is a motherfucker.

Sacrist65 posted:does the book in question start with, "in the beginning god created heaven and the earth"? Nah, that'd be the easy explanation. He'll read something that is arguably good (Steve Coll's Ghost Wars comes to mind) but then stops there and won't hear out that there are other journalists/academics with other takes on the subject. He's gotten better over the years in fairness. I told him he sounds like Tom Nichols at this point. I don't even think people like Shapiro are on his radar, and fortunately most of his bad takes extend to FP stuff like Nichols but domestic stuff he's pretty middle of the road. In fairness, he doesn't bring this stuff up very often (if he did, I wouldn't hang around him) and he knows that I'm pretty far to the left and he's never given me poo poo for it nor tried to tell me my views are bad or dumb. I think I'm mostly just frustrated at watching a friend pretend the opposite of something is true despite clear evidence to the contrary.

I didn't see it but apparently President Cheesebrain got the wrong city when he gave his remarks. Said Toledo.

Casimir Radon posted:I really need to buy a house next year because I'm sick of throwing rent money down a black hole. I'm just afraid that the moment I do that the economy is really going to go down hard, and I'll be screwed. Lol don't worry I just did it for you. Though I bought in the DC metro area so that'll insulate things better than if I had bought elsewhere.

kill me now posted:When impossible starts selling in grocery stores it will 100% replace ground beef for me. Pretty much. I had one a few weeks back and it was pretty good. I'm not going to say I'll never have ground beef ever again, but if I have the option, I'll likely go with the impossible. And TBH, as much as I love steaks, I've moved more towards only eating it when I go out somewhere and even then it's like once every few months.

Fallom posted:Vegans who frown on people for eating things that are supposed to resemble meat have been a thing forever dude Yeah my sister is one of those. You'd think saying "Hey I'm moving over to a more plant based diet and it's cool there are ways to do it that make it more palatable for people who are life long meat eaters" would get you some kind of encouraging reaction instead of being called a shitlord for eating meat but

Wonder Free posted:Flying tonight at 0400 into it. 5 day forecasts are still not accurate enough - they can be off by 1-200 miles. That being said, it’s going to smack in the east coast of Florida somewhere, probably as a major. I know its been said but you have the coolest loving job.
