Yeah it’s a really good thing global warming is a liberal conspiracy, otherwise I’d be starting to get reallllll nervous right now.
Watching people struggle to choose between the tesla t and the apple apple would be so satisfying for me.
Chartreuse as well tbh, just the other way around.
You mean to tell me I’ve been painstakingly pressing the shift key during captcha tests for YEARS and it doesn’t actually matter?
Haha, winged, like a bird.
… oh my god
He also got Thor to dress as Freya to pretend to marry a giant king
Shameless plug for !cfb@fanaticus.social it’s the offseason so it’s not crazy active. But if you’re looking for college football…
Don’t wear cloth of mixed fabric was my favorite of god’s laws.
They hated him because he spoke the truth
Honestly idk lol, but the first time I made cookies topped with himalayan salt flakes I became an instant convert from sea salt and haven’t looked back.
Sorry that you haven’t tried himalayan salt brother
Ok regardless of whether or not you should be able to. Why the fuck would you? Wouldn’t it be in your ultimate best interest to recieve negative feedback early? So that it could be addressed?
Yeah not sure about the other responsible gun owners, but I certainly want my neighbors to have some firepower. Remember that firearms are supposed to be a check and/or balance against tyranny.
LSD is classified the same as heroin???
Didn’t we do this one already?
Yeah not a massive fan of the wireless trend, but I do get it’s convenience. Which is why I think DACs should be making their way to earbuds near you.
Yeah and this is where I’m willing to admit I’m a weirdo. But like I don’t need pictures of myself, or my food, or the fireworks. If I can see the detail in question for a funny thing I stumbled upon, then the camera is good enough for me. I certainly don’t need 8 different kinds of camera in my phone.
So before I get into this, know that I’m biased as a colligate sport fan and a former NCAA athlete. But this is a bad take. Sports provide all sorts of benefit both internally and externally for the university. It is true that some athletic budgets are insane, and for what it’s worth I agree that the salaries that get paid are insane. But this is simply the price of an arms war. These colleges want the best facilities and coaches. And it’s not just for the dick measuring contest, though make no mistake that is absolutely part of it. But all sorts of studies show that general contributions and academic donations in particular increase with athletic team success, notably championship winning teams. People like to belong to a community, and sports fandom is one of the most tried and true sources of community. Plus the tv contacts for the so called revenue sports would make an oil tycoon blush. The presidents of these schools continue to invest in these programs because they continually prove to be an excellent roi. And I firmly believe that these same presidents know more than either of us about running their universities. And all of that is aside from what these sports provide to the most important stakeholders in a college, it’s enrollees. Again recognizing my bias here, but the only reason I made it through school to get my 2 degrees that I use professionally was the sports team I trained with. These teams provide structure to the college life, something that can be hard to maintain as you essentially start a new life. Plus, sport and exercise prove to boost academic performance both on the short and long timescale. Most institutions report higher average GPAs in the athletic department than the general population. Ever notice that elite academic institutions also tend to have elite athletic programs? This isnt always obvious as it’s often non revenue sports outside of the state schools that are in the aforementioned dick measuring contest. And even schools that aren’t know for athletic or academics will still tend to offer intramural sports as again they are a massive boon for the students but I feel like at this point I’m straying from the original point. All in all these athletic programs are good for both the institution as a whole, and those that study at them.
tl;dr Sports good for college
