Part of this is about direct backlash, but there’s also the issue of rankings. If Trump appointments more judges that didn’t go to liberal Ivy League law schools and those judges selects clerks that didn’t go to liberal Ivy League law schools, Harvard could take a hit in the law school (and other departments) rankings. Last thing Harvard wants is their reputation as the pathway to elite jobs sullied.

This must’ve been what it felt like back in the day, seeing people treat the most slack-jawed, inbred Hapsburg as divinely ordained to rule.

So much of the show is taking place inside JD’s head so yeah, he sees his internal self in the best light. That was the contrast with the not-day dream parts, there he’s needy and constantly seeking validation. I’d say the worst thing with his character is that they Flanderized him as the show went on to milk the “JD doesn’t get traditional masculinity” jokes.

The problem with that in a reboot is he’s not going to be the unsure new doctor straight out of med school anymore, Zach Braff is 50. He’s older now than the actor that played Doctor Cox was at the start of the show. It won’t make sense for him to have been practicing medicine for more than two decades and still be unsure and needy. Which most likely means they’ll have a new, unsure doctor just out of med school which will just make the show feel derivative and stale.

+1 to Mosby being a dick.

They already tried a spin off and it didn’t work. Leave the past behind, Disney.

My lawn is not weed choked, it supports a diverse ecosystem

Sounds like your dad is the “starts projects but never finishes them” type. And I get that finding a contractor that isn’t a scumbag is hard, been burned on that end before.

The part that doesn’t add up to me is that it seems like a selective cheapness. Your dad doesn’t want to spend the money to fix the roof because that might be $10k, yet has a sailboat, two SUVs, and I have to assume they didn’t get to $70k in credit card debt without buying some nice treats with that money. Which says to me the cheapness with the house is a rationalization crutch for their spending; if I’m cheap when it comes to home repairs, that counters out the toys for big boys.

Maybe try focusing less on the fiscal aspect and more their age. Like, your dad, statistically speaking, isn’t likely to live much more than another decade, which means he’d be leaving all those repairs and issues entirely on your mom’s shoulders. Make it more about thinking about her than resell values. And if you can, convince him to sell the stupid boat. As the saying goes, the two best days in a boat owner’s life are the day they buy a boat and the day they sell it.

Anything political on Subreddit Drama always brings out the smug libs with an undeserved sense of being the adults in the room.

For me it was the envy episode, absolutely childish analysis of how and why post-revolutionary states do what they do.

It is such a myopic worldview, if things aren’t achieved on a 6 month timespan they are worthless and you did nothing but turn off the sensible white moderates.

But also you’re being an unreasonable, idealistic radical if you expect Team Blue to be able to affect any meaningful change in four years of a presidency.

Yeah that’s one of the core problems with the Democrats from a pure campaign horse race perspective. They refuse to buil up the local and state parties outside of the coastal enclaves and they have a centralized, focus grouped control of everything. So instead of local characters people will like, they run the most soulless, out of central casting robots.

Some porn star getting a breast reduction

I’d still argue that “Berniecrat + gunz” is more likely to be a winning platform in some areas of flyover country than something like

Sure, but a strategic alliance is a much more workable version of that than reviving the Carolingian state.

For them, morality is a thing to keep the Lessers in line. It doesn’t apply to those at the top of the hierarchy because that would violate the idea of a hierarchy.

Neoliberalism Passive Voice

a United States of Europe

That has got to be the most cucked thing a European has ever written.

Also, loooooooool at the idea of those seven countries merging into one, let alone whatever other 13 unnamed countries they have in mind. This is the most pathetic combination of neoliberalism and Retvrn to Tradition, restore the Holy Roman Empire in order to quell the Slavic horde feudal revivalism.

And Singapore

What was the thing racists were complaining about McDonald’s doing?

There’s been several attempts at these wish-washy “sensible alternatives to the dual party partisan bickering and pork barrel spending” third parties, and, besides the brief Reform Party era, they always end up with like 0.25 percent of the vote.

Yeah that’s the big difference this time, people aren’t buying the “blame it all on the Palestinians” excuses from Zionists.
