I’m sure you can do an adequate job of explaining the obvious. An industrial society of roughly 22 million people with a standing army in place was able to successfully wear out an agrarian society of 5.5 million that had to raise, train, cloth and provision an army during wartime. Better prepared...

re: What are white people good at

Posted by tilthatday on 5/12/24 at 11:22 am
It is my fondest wish that the first white man to sight the continents of Africa or North America, had turned around and gone back to Europe. I am confident Europe would look much like it does now. Native Americans would still be trying to discover the wheel and Africa would be, well, Africa....

re: Tipping at restaurants

Posted by tilthatday on 4/29/24 at 7:35 am
You’re missing the point again. These restaurants want customers. They will go out of business without patrons. Then no one is better off. And I’m most frustrated by the spread of tipping to new areas where the “service” is minimal and, again, what the business consists of. You sell me a cup of co...

We’re not talking about the real problem here. The restaurant industry has tricked you into thinking you should pay their employees. And the servers are fine with that because they end up making far more under this tipping scam than any sensible wage would pay. The sole purpose of the restaurant i...
Some folks seem to be missing the point here. She is not leaving porn or the sex trade. She is just changing formats. That's it. She's doing OF because it's more lucrative and wants to delete any inventory that could diminish the value of new product. Oh, that and publicize her Only Fans site. This...

Two evenly matched teams. One played better on the night and won. If they played again in a week, the score could be reversed. As someone posted earlier, their star had a big night and ours didn't. Sorry to say, it happens all the time. ...
The WaPo is a niche publication with no real credibility. Its readers are, almost by definition, older, eastern and out of touch. This article won’t mean anything to anyone you could possibly care about. ...
No one reads the Washington Post. If anyone does, they already agree with whatever liberal bullshite it publishes. So forget about it. An irrelevant article in an irrelevant rag. ...
[quote]Kelly and Denbrock preferred a mobile QB.[/quote To be fair, it was more than mobility. I'm a Myles fan too, but to say the only difference was mobility is shorting JD by a lot. Daniels was a generational talent who might well be the number 1 pick in the draft after winning the Heisman. A ...

re: Jury trial vs only a judge

Posted by tilthatday on 3/13/24 at 7:46 am
Judges are extremely reluctant to make a deal on cases like this. They are monitored by local groups. Talk to the prosecutor. Try to get a diversion or expungement program. If you go to trial, prepare for the worst....

Bidenomics. This is it in full force. The new normal has a lot of folks believing $3.00 for a gallon of gas is a good price and inflation is just part of life. Printing all that Covid money and handing out all those "free giveaways" is coming home to roost. And wait until you see what financing fo...
I think most experts would tell you there is no “safe amount “ to drink. It used to be considered ok or even healthy to be a light or moderate drinker. Those days are gone. Research shows any amount of alcohol has a deleterious effect on your health. ...
