  1. A man can only take so many arrogant head shakes.
  2. Pure gold.
  3. Ames was secretly cultivating a generation of socialists.
  4. On second thought...the people demand a rematch.
  5. I'm actually expecting them to go a different route since they went the "rematch" route this past season.
  6. I skimmed this thread, so I apologize if it was already mentioned, but I have memories of Ames from when I was very young. I remember there being complimentary bags of popcorn to help yourself to while shopping. I loved going there as a kid for the popcorn while my Mom was shopping.
  7. I'm enjoying this because I dislike the Don and the people in his administration. Strictly personal. I'm unashamed to admit this.
  8. I don't even jog/run for exercise, just isn't my thing. I do enjoy long walks with my dog. I often walk at Delaware park (for those familiar with Buffalo). I park my car on Nottingham to walk over the bridge going over the 198 and that's obviously also the path for bikers. I do my part and walk to the right along the rails. Sometimes my dog pulls to the other side when she's having fun on her walk. Hipster doofus cyclists take issue with this and ring their bells. This isn't a problem. My problem is the head/hand shaking and smart comment that always follows. "You need to watch out guys" (Head shake) The feelings amount to the worst road rage imaginable. I'm WALKING. I'M TRYING TO ENJOY THE LOVELY DAY. SLOW DOWN AND AVOID ME. ARE YOU TRAINING FOR THE TOUR DE FRANCE? NO? F OFF THEN. I literally yell "shut up" towards them now. They keep peddling away because hipsters are cowards at the end of the day. I lived in Brooklyn for three years. I have even worse stories living there, including nearly destroying a cyclist who ran a red light as I was going through an intersection...then waved his hand at me. I almost followed him.
  9. I'm biased against cyclists, have had nothing but terrible experiences with them. I'm getting angry just thinking about them all.
  10. Don't break into someone's house.
  11. I also think it's funny that along racial demographics, libertarians are predominantly white. Racial population trends are not in your favor either.
  12. Yes, you are very principled we get it. But who isn't being marginalized? What tired rhetoric not moving off of principles is. We have a few hundred million Americans. Everyone is marginalized, it's called living in a community. Yes, yes, yes the equally tired rhetoric of being elected to represent a base's ideologies will follow. Last I checked, those people are elected to serve that groups best interest. Digging in and refusing to give an inch doesn't accomplish that in the real world. You get cut out. Getting some of what you want is more than getting none. It's called a divisional strategy. The libertarian base is the most entitled base of all.
  13. I hope this is some allegorical device.
  14. Not Highlander (which is amazing btw) but this wall of death story. I'm going to let this one go, seems like a bad acid trip.
  15. Umm what? Is this some 70s reference I'm too young for?
  16. Every single one of us can empathize with watching loved ones age and pass and facing our own mortality. As of now, I wouldn't want to prolong life, but I'm sure that perspective may change if I have children/grandchildren. It's interesting to think about. My problem is the obvious issues with execution if technology really does afford us this one day. If the rich/poor dynamic wasn't contentious enough politically, this would take it to new extremes. Scarcity of resources would be huge of course. This is a bit too individualistic for me. For every wise elderly person I meet, I meet several who are products of questionable ideologies reinforced for decades. Give those people another thirty years while also legislating how many children we can have (this would definitely need to happen, no?) and we may get stuck with a lack of youthful innovation. I'm skeptical that we would be better off as a whole. We've all been in the place of wishing we had just a little longer with someone. On an individual scale it's sad, but in broad strokes it's necessary.
  17. You know Terry Pegula's sports passion is the Sabres right? He would not be able to move the Bills and still own the Sabres. Quite the hot take you have here.
  18. My last name is very similar and I find this story hilarious.
  19. I haven't enjoyed a press conference so much since the infamous Whaley press conference.
  20. It's being reported Ryan pulled it and Trump supported the decision. Pulling it was the right thing to do, I was hoping they voted.
  21. WH holding press briefing. CNN reporting the votes aren't there. Trying to listen at work.
  22. Keep trying to paint my argument in a leftist color, it's not and I've explained it several times. The FC are just progressives turned on their heads. Fierce individualists and idealouges, a.k.a people unbearable to work with. The snowflakes got their way and EHB's are up for repeal, but we'll see what the moderates do.
  23. I never said that. I'm all about compromise. The far right is as terrible as the far left. Both groups need to reflect on their extreme positions and realize logically they would need to give up the most ground. I was originally responding to a person who wants everyone to acknowledge taxation as an evil. Some real old testament ****. Obviously that person's minority position would stand to give up the most ground.
