    I love how much Shkreli loves punk even tho every band he's said he likes would fucking hate him

    I laugh every time I remember the hotelier have a legit pic of him wearing one of their shirts on their web store

    This is like how Paul Ryan loves Rage Against the Machine

    I can't tell if this is a joke or not

    Well, it is a joke

    But also completely true

    So I am thinking of picking up a George Foreman grill for the apartment. Anyone have any experience with them?

    Good ones are great. Shitty ones are really limited in what you can do with them. I have two: https://www.hamiltonbeach.com/all-indoor-grills-health-smart-indoor--outdoor-grill-31605n.html and https://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-25331-100-Square-Inch-Nonstick/dp/B001AQEPMM. The first one is great. The second one isn't as good - having the top makes it harder to clean, and I've never made a tasty steak with it. I'll use it now and again for steak tips but that's about it.

    If by "rigged" you mean Hillary was better prepared, more organized, understood party rules, had an actual plan, and had the support of high ranking party members who weren't bound by primary results, then yes the primary was rigged.

    plus, you know, got more votes

    i think superdelegates are a dumb idea and the whole "bernie doesn't have a chance because of them" definitely stifled a lot of momentum going into the later stages of the primaries

    i also think people would be a lot more against them if they hadn't benefited hillary but not like it matters now anyway. Hillary is the best candidate and will win and people will handwave away anything against her because at least she's not trump

    or maybe trump will win. You never know. I didn't think Brexit would happen and here we are. Politics is awful and i hate it but american politics is totally unavoidable

    Bernie never had a chance because he failed to pitch to anyone other than college students and aggrieved white voters.

    One of those groups is literally fucking the GOP right now. well technically both, but for different reasons.

    "Momentum" is a bullshit narrative term. we have math that tells us how these things will turn out once we actually start collecting samples.

    Bernie did fine, just too many people like Hillary too much

    Also momentum wasn't a bullshit narrative when people were complaining about Bernie not pulling out and ruining Hillary's chances.

    That was a bit of a clown move, but not for momentum reasons, and he worked pretty hard to make up for it once he dropped out.

    so the initiatives on my ballot for colorado:

    -get rid of caucuses, bring back open primaries (meaning you don't need to affiliate with a party to vote in them)
    -increase taxes on cigarettes by $1.75 per pack, using the proceeds for roughly half health expenses brought on by smoking and tobacco education/outreach for youth, and roughly half various good causes (veteran re-integration, more mental health services for the underprivileged etc)
    -an amendment to the state constitution that would, in effect, make it harder to alter the constitution
    -limited euthanasia (from none at all)
    -a mostly symbolic thing that involves a mention of slavery and indentured servitude in the constitution, and that some people say could eventually impact prison work programs
    -minimum wage increase
    -tax hike to fund UHC for the state
    -a low threshold ($6,000) exemption for possessory for certain property-driven incomes

    and then locally for me:

    -.25 percent tax increase to fund treatment for mental health and substance addiction in the county
    -giving the county/city permission to explore fiber internet as a utility eee
    -a small (tenth of a cent) tax increase to provide general funding to non profits- culture, arts, animal welfare etc- in the county

    and then two real-fucking-long ballot measures about the local school district jfc if i were a parent maybe i would bother trying to parse these impossibly long and complex debt/tax questions about schools

    The 31605 is perfect for that. I've been using mine for more than 5 years now. I use it for burgers even in summer when I could use my gas grill outside 15 feet away.

    @emnmnme i have been talking about how this song seems to be a break down of typical pop songs while remaining a typical pop song. the lyrics are ridiculous and seem to imply some sort of meta-narrative. i do not understand it.

    puppies are you voting for this coloradocares uhc thing? it is uh, a big expense. it would essentially double our state budget. it is a huge program. it would also be very comprehensive- no deductibles or copays whatsoever for basic or primary services, and specialty services would have copays waived for the impoverished. and everyone in colorado would be covered.

    it is so much money tho. i have heard the argument that we should wait for UHC to go federal because when there's that much purchasing power/negotiating strength, it lowers prices. and if we implement UHC locally, we don't have that sort of leverage to lower costs.

    Beck is stupidly talented as a musician and is pretty apt at breaking down songs/genres and reassembling them for his own ends.

    It is absolutely a critique on pop music while still being a good pop song

    a major pillar of UHC is the purchasing power of the federal government

    it is a lot harder to do at the state level

    that being said the price tag doesn't tend to include external savings such as not having to supply as great a volume of emergency services because of better preventative coverage

    Allegedly a voice of reason.
