Lmao, I meant that she has a doctorate; intellectual stimulation is important for offsetting the effects of cognitive decline. I read Tib's post about doctors moments before writing my own and it must've subliminally snuck its way in my post. I was probably my third beer by then too.

Considering that both candidates are very old, the First Lady being a doctor gives me some comfort about rolling Joe out another 4 years. I think Biden will have more of his faculties remaining by 2028 than Trump will.

Thank you for your openness and candor! It was good, clear writing too. While the congressional, gubernatorial, and presidential elections in NY are decidedly Democratic in outcomes, it hasn't stopped me from voting. Especially locally. I took a class in law school called Current Topics in Local Government and it was a great experience. The main takeaway was how much more local municipalities directly affect the day to day lives of their citizens. Despite this, they have disproportionately low turnouts. I'd strongly encourage you to vote in local elections. It's a precious gift even if it's diluted at times.

It's also the most-liked post in the thread fwiw. I don't think it's "the" official policy stance of the right, but I bring it up in part because the current coalition isn't really united by policy. There are a significant number who genuinely support the US taking a step back from the current world order (which, iirc, we both agreed on in another thread as the wrong path forward), and they are standing shoulder to shoulder with people who are saying the opposite--that we don't want isolationism. Instead of looking at each other upon hearing an obvious discrepancy of policy opinions, they continue to look straight ahead at the person/thing that they hate. Idk, just a head-scratcher that I'm noticing more and more but can't quite wrap my head around it.

Well, two of them are in the AFC East so I don't mind putting off this whole solving thing for a bit 😅

Wow... you don't vote? By choice?

It was in the very first reply, @Doc.

The reactions on the right are... confusing. If Biden retaliates, then he's just an arm of the military-industrial complex. If Biden doesn't retaliate strongly enough, then he makes us look weak and shows the need for a "strongman" in the White House. If Biden uses it as support for a broader plan to curtail US interventionism, then he's a foreign policy nightmare destabilizing the world order. Like... what's the baby-bear Goldilocks response that's "just right"?

Quantitatively, how large of a segment are you referring to?

Reading "Brady" and it referring to Joe instead of Tom is going to take some getting used to lol.

Doesn't feel like the 49ers want the win.

You seem to have a very narrow view of crime. I don't mean that as a put-down either. I just think your correlation between IQ and crime (specifically violent crime) misses a lot of the overall picture.

I think I know what DVOA is. But what tf is EPA?

I've noticed this as well, especially since the playoffs started and I've had a chance to watch other teams of playoff caliber. Put Allen on the Greatest Show on Turf and that team is probably the first 3-peat SB winner in NFL history.

Deterrence, reform, and removal are not mutually exclusive of each other. Punishment is absolutely a deterrence. I didn't commit half a dozen crimes this week alone because I didn't want to be punished.

I think it's cruel and unusual punishment. On the other hand, I support one's choice to end their own life via euthanasia, including criminals with life sentences.

Reading your mention of UFA reminds me of RFA. Are there any RFA WRs worth the 28th (and possibly the 94th?) pick(s) that we could offer a contract to that another team couldn't match? It could be a clever way to turn a late 1st into something less risky and proven, but idk if there's anyone worth it.

Omg…

❤️

This is winnable!!!!

Those last two throws ugh..

Amazing defense.

We got hosed. That shouldn’t have been a penalty. All of the announcers are stunned themselves. You can hear it in their voices.

Wow.

A flag?!
