  1. ya i never understood lobster... it's this tasteless meat that you have to smother butter on it for it to be edible and it's like $40 a pound... WHY crab is good tho
  2. My credit card's give me 1-4% cash back depending on category of purchase. It seems I average out to spending like $2000 a month on the credit card so that's like, probably $500 a year in cash back. I guess it's not a big deal but I'd rather have the $500 than the blood sucking retailing assholes.
  3. I drove through Montana and a few places had tap but it was tap and signature. And it wasn't instant like it is here, you had to select the account (savings, checking, or credit) and click ok for the total amount to be charged, etc. It's like they sat down and thought "how can we get rid of all the conveniences of tap?" That may have just been because it was Montana though. idk how it works in the other states.
  4. I will eat a fucking crow if that thing is operational in 24 months. Hell, if it’s even CLOSE to operational within five years and isn’t a massive fucking disaster by that time, I’ll eat a crow.
  5. Lol you didn’t understand my point at all. My point is this: You think I don’t want a white SCOTUS because I’m racist against whites (lol). You’re wrong. That’s not the reason I’m against another old white dude being SCOTUS. The reason I don’t want a white SCOTUS because I think society is better off when the people in power come from diverse backgrounds. Which you already agreed is ok to think sooooo.... edit: or did you agree on that? I'm not sure. You were being pretty evasive. Either way, lol @ the notion that I'm racist against white people.
  6. If you cook your wife spaghetti for 8 days in a row and on the nineth day she says “I hope we don’t have spaghetti again” you would be completely unreasonable to conclude that she doesn’t like spaghetti. SCOTUS is, and always has been, dominated by white men. That’s a pretty obvious problem, IMO. That doesn’t make me racist to point that out, nor does it make me racist to hope it changes.
  7. oh you edited your post, but that edit doesn't work. nobody is saying that the supreme court should be dominated by black people... but here you are totally ok with a supreme court dominated by white people. and not just white people but white men specifically as a majority.
  8. i don't even understand what your disagreement is right now? Are you saying that the majority of people in power in the USA were not white men historically? Or that the majority of people in power currently are not white men? Or that it's not a problem that the majority of people in power are white men? Or you think that none of that is a problem?
  9. Saying that it's a problem that the majority of the people in power historically have been, and continue to be, white men, is like the opposite of racism. Lol.
  10. On an individual basis, literally no identity has anything to do with ideology. Whether we're talking about gender, race, religion, or nationality, I'm sure you could find any and every ideology represented. So this is a poor argument. Nobody is, say, liberal because they are Catholic (after all, I'm sure you can find communist Catholics), nor is anyone communist because they are Hindu (since I'm sure you can find liberal Hindus). We can still find patterns. When a certain identity is over-represented historically, that make a huge difference on the way society develops. "To say otherwise is ignorant."
  11. You take old white men off the voter rolls for the the last election, and the results are probably different. You take old white men out of the SCOTUS and their decisions are likely different. Any seat of power in western society has been held by "old white men" for the majority of the past 300 or so odd years. I don't really see why it's so outrageous to acknowledge either of those two facts.
  12. I don't think a yearly physical is that important or necessary for a man in his 20's - 30's with no pre-existing health conditions. I had a shitload of doctors appointments due to recovering from injuries from a traffic collision about 5 years ago and when I was pretty much recovered I asked my doctor about yearly exams (because I hadn't been going to a doctor regularly before then) and she said they weren't really necessary until I get in my 40's or 50's. This article says basically the same thing my doctor said (except more in depth). The only thing that is really necessary (according to the article) on a man <40 years old is a blood pressure test which can be done at most pharmacies for free (I have a home blood pressure tester my mom gave me for some reason). https://www.ctvnews.ca/lifestyle/is-an-annual-physical-necessary-the-doctor-is-out-on-that-one-1.2017959
  13. I wonder what the Israeli’s long term plan is? You’d think they would’ve learned from South Africa. What they’re doing is not sustainable.
