@LuFins-Dad said in DIE Dean Gone: @Horace said in DIE Dean Gone: @LuFins-Dad said in DIE Dean Gone: The biggest problem is the failure to teach basic classical logic anymore. People are not being taught how to follow basic progressions of thought and steps in their thinking. Feelings are promoted over logic as well. I try to keep up to date with state of the art leftist thinking and messaging. This morning I listened to an interview with the author of a book about how we're all going to die of heat exhaustion. Most of the interview was devoted to hand wringing that Texas recently passed a bill removing the right for water breaks for construction workers. This is tantamount to murder, or something, because humans need water. Meanwhile, something tells me that workers can drink as much as they want. And meanwhile, the legislation was in an effort to remove a bunch of regulations, the 'right to water breaks' among them, that were collectively strangling businesses trying to get stuff done. And nobody is getting less water now than before. The Texas bill did not remove the right to take water breaks. The Texas bill removed the ability for public works unions to negotiate with individual communities and required the unions to negotiate with the state. It also voided the current contracts with various communities. In some of those contracts were a determined number of water breaks, thereby creating your talking point. So the leftist take was even dumber than I understood it to be. It's all just blatant emotional manipulation of the low information leftist masses.

Billy never quite lived up to his college performance. NFL ain't beanbag.

Biden, or at least his handlers, have excelled at buying votes.

@George-K said in Everything is either racist or far-right: @Mik said in Everything is either racist or far-right: Silly me, I always thought women's liberation meant they could make their own choices. Instead, it's a cafeteria plan with limited options. "If a male enjoys dressing up and behaving like a woman, he was born that way. If a female enjoys dressing up and behaving like a woman, she was brainwashed by society." That is maybe the best observation I have seen on the subject. Men are celebrated for adopting the most ridiculous caricatures and fetishized visions of what being a woman is. A woman that decides that she would like to adopt the ideals of our grandparents in what a husband/wife relationship are belittled and abused… We can recognize that we didn’t live up to those ideals without dismissing those ideals…

Good description. Which is why FOX has made a mistake. Gutfeld! Should not have moved to the 9pm(CDT) slot.

That's funny!

Might be a little projection going on there.

Lovely.

@LuFins-Dad said in Lottery Winner!: @George-K said in Lottery Winner!: , that should mean the winner takes home about $433.7 million. That’s huge, but it’s a far cry from being a billionaire. That’s very much like being a billionaire. Most billionaires value is not liquid, but in assets. When they sell those assets, they too will be paying that 37%. Beyond that, let’s say you blow $33.7 million on a couple of houses, cars, donations, cars, and a bunch of fun… Put the rest into frigging CDs, and live off half the interest ($10M at 5% in year 1) and reinvest the rest, you will be a billionaire in 12-15 years, while being exceedingly wealthy and living in luxury. Well, first thing you do is give 10% to the church...

That is awful. It is current. But really ugly, just not right.

Wow. Bit of a tearjerker there.
