Nicole Cliffe left Twitter like 20 minutes after following me and I hope that's not why she left. Posts are my own and not those of the DoD or US Army.
Does anyone else find it annoying when football commentators use the phrase "read option" (pro commentators are esp. guilty of this)? EVERY option play, no matter how they are drawn up or executed, involves a "read" of some sort. It would be like saying a play was a "throw pass" or a "kick punt."

Imo a lot of the problems with society people are mad about online are really spiritual, ethical, and psychological (e.g 'male loneliness crisis'), and unfortunately there are no political solutions to such things. You need to take responsibility for your own growth and fulfilment.

Sports are a funny thing. Like, there's no team I love more than the Nebraska Cornhusker football team. They're the only team I follow that can still break my heart. But when it comes to sports hate? It's somehow not one of Nebraska's rival that my hate burns the brightest for. /1

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

The basic problem of health insurance: if you want sick people to be able to get insurance, then the insurance product ceases to be traditional insurance, bc the insurer cannot price risk. Once you accept that sick people should get insurance, you must accept some variety of a socialized system.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

Like all christo-atheist arguments about the Bible reduce down to “this is the shittiest most inaccurate science textbook I’ve ever seen” because they’re fundamentally incapable of understanding why something other than a science textbook might be meaningful to people.
