More than 10% of every population does stuff like that

I'm pretty sure we've already designated Australia as the place to send our undesirables. No take backs

Sure, but saying that doesn't change the fact that almost everyone in the industrialized world does live that way

Honestly, eating vegan, or even vegetarian, is too much of a hassle for most people most of the time, and that's by design. So is eating anything that isn't 80% corn syrup and processed sugar. Our society prioritizes cheap and/or artificial over everything else. Until that changes at a systemic level people aren't going to change their eating habits.

This is true for much more than just food as well. Most won't stop using plastic until the alternatives are cheaper and more accessible. Same with renewable energy, public transportation, pesticides, polyester clothing, etc. Most people are fundamentally lazy and will not go out of their way to do something beneficial for others unless they have a financial incentive to do so. Awareness of a problem only elicits a response in a small minority of the population.

The difference is that it's only newsworthy when Dems do bad shit or when Reps don't do bad shit.

The endorsement loses quite a bit of steam when you follow it up with a statement that makes it sound like you disagree with everything he stands for though, wouldn't you agree?

Winning in Texas is a long shot with anyone. A white Christian man is exactly the kind of person you need to run there, especially one attempting to push back against MAGAs hold on Christian voters using socialist language from the Bible and calling out Republican hypocrisy. If you want to play identity politics games just so you can end up with another Hakeem Jefferies you're only going to lose by a wider margin. That's the kind of shit that got us here in the first place.

If you want others to fall in line then maybe that's what you should do instead of complaining about the candidate that won the primary. Say something positive about the only dude with a shot at winning a Senate seat in Texas

I know it's partly because conservative voters pretend to care about the economy, and for whatever reason their primary metrics for judging its health seem to be the price of gas and eggs, but I really wish we could stop framing the destruction we are causing throughout the world solely in terms of how much it now costs us to fill up our cars. It makes me almost hope we see an actual invasion on US soil just so we'll realize that war costs much more than a few extra bucks at the gas pump. That's not a healthy or sustainable attitude for an entire society to have, to say the least.

People who summarize videos in the comments shouldn't have to pay taxes. You're doing enough public service already

That really will be the perfect repost when he dies and MAGA inevitably tries to call out everyone celebrating as disrespectful

That lip bite really sells the idea that he wants to fuck those noodles

 

For the first time in two decades, Oklahoma State is in search of a new football coach.

Oklahoma State fired Mike Gundy, effective immediately, according to Robert Allen.

In his 21st season, Gundy accumulated a 170-90 record with the Cowboys. That’s the most wins in program history, and it isn’t particularly close. Pat Jones, Gundy’s coach, is second on Oklahoma State’s all-time wins list at 62-60.

Eleven of Gundy’s teams spent at least one week in the top 10 of the AP poll, climbing as high as No. 2 in the rankings in 2011. Gundy-led teams have had a pair of top 10 finishes in the AP Poll, finishing third in 2011 and seventh in 2021.

Six of Gundy’s teams finished in the top 10 nationally for scoring offense. The aforementioned 2011 team finished the season averaging 48.7 points a game, which ranked second in the nation. OSU’s 2017 squad finished second nationally in total offense, averaging 568.9 yards a game. Led by quarterback Mason Rudolph, that 2017 team finished first nationally in passing offense, averaging 389.2 pass yards a game.

OSU’s best defense under Gundy came in 2021 when coordinator Jim Knowles’ group allowed just 18.1 points and 297.9 yards a game, which ranked ninth and fifth in the country, respectively.

Gundy teams loved a big win. He had 11 wins against AP top-10 opponents, with the most recent being the Cowboys’ 27-24 win against No. 10 Oklahoma in 2023. Gundy has beaten the No. 3 team in the AP Poll twice, besting Missouri 28-23 in 2008 and Baylor 49-17 in 2013.

From 2006 to 2023, OSU teams finished with a winning record. Eight of those squads had at least 10 wins. There have only been three other teams in OSU’s history finish with double-digit wins, and Gundy was the quarterback for two of those squads.

Speaking of his playing days, Gundy still ranks fourth on OSU’s all-time passing list with 8,473 yards, and the three players ahead of Gundy (Mason Rudolph, Spencer Sanders and Brandon Weeden) were all coached by Gundy. Gundy ranks fifth on OSU’s passing touchdowns list with 57.

 

Can we add the option to exclude communities and/or posts that are in a different language than our chosen default? I'm guessing filtering communities would be easier than individual posts but I'm not sure how language would be flagged. I understand some people may want to see some of these posts but even multilingual people must be bombarded with posts in languages they don't speak. I'm getting pretty annoyed that half of my feed is stuff I can't read.

I've looked through the settings multiple times but I suppose it's still possible this already exists and I just missed it.
