Unrelated news, @HymanKaplan...my whole life the days off for a baseball team were either monday or thursday. Last couple years the scheduling has been stupid. The Cards have a day off on a sunday, that makes zero financial sense. Baseball teams should play friday through sunday like they always have. Also, don't like playing rivals less and American league teams more. I don't care at all about playing the Mariners.

On a divisional note, @warrior-cat @trueblujr2 ...the Cards and Reds have a 3 game series starting Monday. Not sure any bragging rights can be gained. It's sadly 2 mediocre teams trying to be less mediocre.
Trying? The Reds have cornered the market on mediocre to bad for a long time now.
 
Bull, the study showed our society is crap, exactly as expected. We work ourselves to death with no healthcare. That's what the recipients used the money for, living. It's proof of concept.
True first sentence because of social media and the liberal mindset. False for the rest.

I noticed this as well. You're right though. Monday and Thursday used to be "travel days"

I blame Biden/climate change. (and the Cardinals, who used to OWN the Reds, seem to have a lot of trouble with them now)

The last time I went to a Reds/Cardinals game in Cincy, I went with several GYERO guys. An unnamed GYERO poster, paid an usher at the park 20 dollars, so he and I could use a janitorial closet to do a couple of rails, and smoke a heater during the 7th inning stretch. (back when I did that stuff) LOL
 
You didn’t address the substance of the post. You want your kids to have a leg up on everyone else. None of what you posted here is justification for that.
Yes I want my kids to have a leg up on everyone else. In the classroom, on the ball field and the job opportunities that come in the future once they enter the work force. That will come from them working hard to achieve what they want to achieve and to go get what they want. I will teach them not to be a Dion and make excuses on why you and your future are stagnated while others around you become successful and build asset wealth. The problem is you Dion and people like you...not the hard workers who want a better life.
 
Some of you -- well, maybe 2 -- might remember when I quoted Karl Rove 3 Little Rules for politics.

1) Attack your opponent's strength from your weakness
2) Accuse your opponent of doing what you're doing.
3) Be worse than anyone can imagine.

As witness: JD Vance who has had multiple names, multiple religions, multiple sexualities, and opposite views on Donald Trump has accused Harris and Walz of not being at home in their own skins. A man who has more personalities than a wind sock in a hurricane has accused someone else of not being at home in their skins.

AND

After giving the most tepid defense of his wife earlier in the campaign, he has accused the happily married Walz of not loving his own wife. To make a pun off the title of a WW2 movie, A Fib Too Far.

Remember when we told you that, if Rove actually said that, he stole if from someone else. Any gander who that was? And who has used that for decades?
 
Yeah. Do I ever advocate for any of these things for myself? Austin posts my student debt quote all the time. I understand advocating for others is anathema to the conservative worldview but not all of us are like that.

If any of that had been true, no one would stop saying it.I wonder if Democrats are aware of how badly they have been brainwashed. Democrats made Hitler appear out of nowhere and disappear just as quickly.Suddenly, Democrats are focused on "no tax on tips" and stronger border security.Instead of Hitler.Democrats won't even ask questions about that.

And they will gaslight by insisting they have been for both always and never saw Trump as Hitler.

It is nauseating to sit through their spin cycle.

If you can't get him killed, steal everything he stands for. The misfit toys of Gotham are taking over the country and it's disgusting.

George Orwell was a socialist. I love when non-socialists quote him.
He also knew the dangers in totalitarian regimes. Which his most noted works are about. He most likely was smart enough to understand socialism was a nice concept but would be impossible to implement due to human greed and lust for power. As has been proven over and over and over again. But true humanitarians like you and the 2 queefs who liked your post think they will be the ones to get it right.

One maxim is ancient. One came from Goebbels. I believe Rove added "Be worse than anyone can imagine."

I mention the rules because sometimes what Republicans do can seem confusing until you adjust for Rove's words of wisdom.

Hope that helps.
 
Now you're imagining things...
The answer is "null"

It has no answer.

(SQRT of 3x)(SQRT of 3x) = (-7)(-7)

3x = 49

x = 49/3

when you substitute 49/3 for x in the original equation you come up with: SQRT of 49 = -7, which is false, so the answer is null. Just like Kamala's policies/rhetoric.

This is why you ALWAYS have to check your answer, when you are dealing with equations that contain radical expressions. The more you know.

Good try, but no. your three things were captured in Rules for Radicals. The Dims have been using this strategy for decades. You can break free.

My first look i was thinking you need an imaginary number, i , in which i(squared) = -1. But putting pen to paper, you may be correct. +1 for the clown, -1 for the joker.

You say here it will come from hard work. So why do they need your inherited assets to accomplish that? Why not just the hard work?

Wait a minute ... if you plug/substitue 49i(squ) / 3 into your equation, then you would get -7. So, either way, Kamala's policies are null or imaginary. Dealer's choice.

Orwell wrote about what he saw. Yes, he hated totalitarianism. But don't imagine for a second that he didn't despise right wingers. So, when right wingers try to co-opt Orwell, it's droll to me.

Orwell wrote lots of things in addition to 1984 and Animal House. Road to Wigan Pier (about his life in the north of England), Homage to Catalonia (about his experience fighting Fascism in Spain), and Down and Out in Paris and London (his bohemian life as a young writer).

The biggest thing that makes right wingers trying to co-opt Orwell so repulsive is that Orwell's most striking characteristics are his honesty and decency.

I "MAY" be correct? LOL

I'm absolutely correct. I promise you. 🧐

I've had to retract some things occasionally on here, but that will NEVER happen when it comes to math. LOL

Although Dion has tried to argue mathematics with me occasionally, but you can guess how that worked out.

(I'm just poking fun. Like I've said on here before, I do math problems on a chalkboard in my den, FOR FUN. So, at the end of the day, I'm probably the biggest loser on this board. LOL)

I mean, I have a collection of first edition math textbooks, for f***'s sake. LOL

Alinsky's Rules
  1. "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
  2. "Never go outside the experience of your people."
  3. "Whenever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy."
  4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
  5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
  6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
  7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
  8. "Keep the pressure on."
  9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
  10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
  11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."
  12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
  13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
If you bother to read them, you'll see that some of them are confusing, goofy, and dull. Even bureaucratic. And you'll also see that they're different from Rove's. Alinsky's were a framework to organize the poor. Rove's are to take power.
