The ur-gooner

Or they pad it with a ton of absolute garbage

for leaving reddit pedantry behind.

It’s usually not, you’re right. Reddit sports forums – especially team specific ones – are dominated by sports radio type garbage takes.

But you also have at least some people on reddit who are trying to go deeper, or who have more perspective, than your drunk uncle yelling at the TV. So it’s a lot of shit but a decent amount of good, where sports radio is almost all shit.

Sports radio is usually terrible though lol. Sports stuff is a legitimate hole here (compared to reddit), but I also have to imagine it’s much more resource intensive to host/moderate. Game threads routinely get thousands or tens of thousands of comments – it’s a bunch of people in there for three hours straight – and people yell at each other over sports all the time.

Taiwan hasn’t even been “democratic” (in the sense of “murder all political opponents to the left of Reagan for 40 years and then start letting people vote for the party that did this”) for more than a few decades, so even at face value this barely counts.

You want more of them?

The pure (libertarian) socialists’ ideological anticipations remain untainted by existing practice. They do not explain how the manifold functions of a revolutionary society would be organized, how external attack and internal sabotage would be thwarted, how bureaucracy would be avoided, scarce resources allocated, policy differences settled, priorities set, and production and distribution conducted. Instead, they offer vague statements about how the workers themselves will directly own and control the means of production and will arrive at their own solutions through creative struggle. No surprise then that the pure socialists support every revolution except the ones that succeed.

I wonder how the government of nk earned those sanctions?

“We do horrible things to them, but we’re the good guys so they must deserve it”

If opiods were as cheap as this person claims and as deadly as cops claim, the U.S. would have dropped them on Afghanistan, not encouraged the locals to grow them.

You can return empty bottles in some states, but it’s for 5 cents. The guy I spoke to last Thursday about his fentanyl addiction told me he needed about $100 to get his fix for the day back when he used. It’s just absurd.

Wonder what the milk to iPhone exchange rate is these days

It’s such a comical lie, it’s almost insulting how bad it is

[Removed a bit too much hostility.]

I work with homeless people, many of whom have substance abuse issues. I’ve heard of all sorts of ways to get money for drugs (by the way, $2-4 isn’t going to get that done, not even close) and have never heard of anything close to this ridiculous.

It’s unbelievable. As someone else pointed out, with selling them you’re looking at $40, not $2-4, for standing at an intersection or in a park. And you don’t need to do it 30-40 times to get your fix.

I have seen homeless who buy bottled water on SNAP only to dump and resell the bottles so they could get cash for their addictions.

If you’re going to lie, why make up the most nonsensical lie imaginable?

Perhaps if you commented on particle physics it would mean something.

Correct, the best communities clown on this garbage or just delete it.

You’re right, emojis are cool and fun, glad you enjoy

I think we can all predict what the response will be lol
