I was okay with the Russian collusion, the warmongering, the economic protectionism, and the disregard for basic due process rights.

BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT HEALTHY EATING!!!

PragerU does the exact same bad science and propaganda that national news does, it just has good presentation and rhetorical tricks. They get like 80% correct in most of their videos and then slip in some total garbage for the other 20%.


i feel like it's way lower than 80%. but maybe it just seems that way because the stats they cite are mostly correct but their reasoning is garbage.

i liked that prageru video where they literally cited 2pac quotes as "scientific evidence" for why kids need fathers growing up.

I don't get why the lefties are making a big deal of it as if it proves something on their side. This is the entire point, that the "discount" was never anything more than including the NRA on a huge list of potential groups that you can get minor discounts for if you specifically ask for them but nobody ever does.

That's the proof that this whole thing was just PC-virtue signaling on the part of Delta. That's what is annoying Republicans, not 4% higher airfare for traveling to the NRA conference.

I think you're missing that they also asked the NRA to take down their ads on their websites, etc.

And that if Georgia is threatening to take away a tax break on fuel over this, that they'll just more their hub to another state. Even guys like Neil Cavuto are pointing out how full of shit the Lt. Governor is.

I mean, has anyone actually listen to NRATV? It's hardly impartial itself, I'd understand why Delta would actually want to drop their sponsorship of it with great ideas as:

Comparing liberals to ISIS.
BLM will commit mass murder and rape against white people.
Blaming the Manchester Arena attack on multiculturalism and "gender-bending."
Warning people that don't support Trump are "Anti-American" and "will perish in the political flames of their own fires."
Claim that reporting on Trump's sexual assault accusations are against "freedom and the Constitution" (didn't know reporting was constitutionally illegal).
Correcting Kellyanne Conway's claim of a Bowling Green Massacre was aiding terrorists.
Initially speculating that the Las Vegas shooter targeted the concert because it was full of Trump supporters.
Etc.

Coming out of high school, I was a lot like her. Really smart, decent grades, been told my whole life "you have to go to college."

I said fuck that and didn't - became a secretary in the military instead. Ended up where I am today as I figured it out. Elite employer, six-figure income in 30s, zero debt. Government paid for both my degrees. If you're smart and motivated you'll figure your shit out eventually.

You added an intermediate step in there, and it worked out well for you. But ultimately, you still needed that graduate degree to even get a sniff of your current lifestyle.

I did a 4-year degree after high school but if I went straight into trade school and straight into working I would be literally 3, if not 4 years ahead of where I am now.... maybe.

My degree didn't get me a single job in my career, BUT college was a huge source of strong connections, both personal and professional, which have led me to my current job (6-figure salary at 25 #humblebrag #fakerich). I don't know if I would have known how to acquire those connections without college. I am pretty good at it now (i.e. when going to a new city and such) so it's definitely a learnable skill. But is it worth 4 years and $100k of learning (well $0 for me since I also leeched off the government).

I think it's pretty obvious that if you have any sense of networking and connections, trade schools and focused education is by far the way to go. If you don't, then you should learn those skills, or just be content with having less success than your skills deserve, which is also fine for many people.

This will also be super important in the next 50 years, when technological advances mean that those classes you took when you were a drunk 19 year old can't keep you floating until you're 65. You WILL have to relearn and do more focused education, 1 or 2 years or part time or whatever, several times before you retire.

Random thought from watching more Black Panther previews

Did they ever explain why a non-colonized isolated African state speaks English with a British accent?

They should have gone for real authenticity and done the whole thing in subtitled clicks and whatever.

I'm not complaining about the practicality of having people speak English instead of subtitles.

I'm wondering why specifically they would give them the exact same accent that "Africans colonized by the British" have in real life.
