LOL. You’re right, if they make Massachusetts worse than Oklahoma then Oklahoma’s ranking would improve! I never thought about that. BRILLIANT!

I hate having to explain this to people when I talk about the insane cost of healthcare in the US.

“but US healthcare is the best so of course it’s going to be the most expensive”

No, you moron. It’s the exact same procedure by equally qualified doctors using the same equipment.

In case you’re wondering why you’re getting down voted, it’s because you didn’t even offer up a valid argument and instead engaged in ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy.

I get that correlation does not necessarily mean causation, but if the richest states are almost all blue and the poorest ones almost all red, that is a very strong correlation and trying to claim it is insignificant only makes you seem the fool.

You seem to be intelligent. Ask yourself why this post made you so upset.

First of all, “all counties were red/blue” is not what “unanimous” means.

I agree with you there.

Second of all, I don’t think “ha ha your state is poor” is the grand slam argument you think it is.

Takes a lot of mental gymnastics to boil down all the listed differences as “state is poor”. Unless you mean “poor” as in “in bad shape” and not “economically suffering”. I’ll assume you mean the former as that’s the only way your argument makes sense.

I think it’s more about how a state is voting against its own interests. There is NOTHING about the Republican platform that would improve any of the listed metrics. If anything, Republican politics would only further worsen an already bad state of affairs.

And of the off chance your initial argument was entirely economic, it’s Democrats who want federal government involvement to help poor states.

You’re going to need to pick the hair out of your teeth afterwards.

I actually really love Birdie Wing.

Part of it is that there’s less hidden costs. I like it when it’s just “the total is $30” instead of “there’s $8 shipping and a $2 service fee and then $4 in taxes and…”

I’ve also seen some online stores lure in a customer with a really cheap initial price and then on the last page just slam them with insane shipping and handling fees hoping that the customer either doesn’t notice or feels too invested at this point to cancel their purchase.

But yes, part of it is also people are stupid when they see the word “free” as if the store wouldn’t move the cost somewhere else.

This tracks pretty hard.

After hearing about how big a flop the Borderlands movie was, I decided to watch it.

It was so abysmally bad I took psychic damage. Days latter I’m still wondering how anyone could have made those script decisions unless they were actively sabotaging the project.

I was unable to sleep one night so I starting making a YouTube video about how terrible the movie was. I’d say I’m at level 53.

Oh, TIL. Thanks!

Breed them out of existence.

Considering they unironically released a loli mascot and implemented the plot of Dogma as real policy I can no longer tell if this is fake or not.

I dug down to get the audio. The girl is saying, “Bentley” in a seductive voice then tapping or rubbing various parts of the car. Donald says, “Citroën” in duck-speak and then does Donald Duck noises at times.

This is sadly the best photo I’ve seen of him.

After you provide a source: “lol I’m not reading that”

Reminds me of the Skyrim meme: Explore ancient tomb. Find fresh cabbages!

Let’s go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this to all blow over

Fage is definitely my favorite yogurt. I’m always like “how the fuck is this so God damn good? It has virtually no sugar or anything added”

Also in case you didnt know, for many reduced fat items they just end up adding more sugar.

Back in 2016 I worked at a place that had beer in the fridge for after work shindigs. The day after Trump was elected we were all in the kitchen drinking beer at 10AM instead of coffee. No one questioned it.
