They will never apologize, therefore, they will never recover

They are not apologizing however they are acknowledging that they f***ed up badly by not only reversing course but trying to go uber-macho. MMA alliance and now NFL legends.

Prediction: Some folk will move on from the controversy and go back to Bud Light, some will never do so. There will be some recovery but they'll never reach their old heights or number 1 status in their niche again.

For women, it’s because they believe their self perceived severe lack of attractiveness renders them unable to compete with most other women.

Made a tweak to your thesis, I think it has a lot of merit but form some/many of these girls the root issue is that what they see in the mirror doesn't match what anyone else sees when they look at her. It's a shame really, and it makes them too easily manipulated by people who want to use them in one way or the other (either to take advantage of with sweet words or to co-opt into mutilating themselves on the promise that will make them feel good about themselves finally, all to bolster their own advocacy)

At least he'll be protected if she bites him

They should love her, she lit the middle east on fire and murdered Gaddafi so Libya could be a staging ground for their successful invasion of Europe. She should be considered a hero to them.

COVID? What's that? Oh yeah, that unnecessary and contrived hysteria from a few years ago that ruined the economy and destroyed our election system so Trump couldn't be President.

I don't care to re-energize that just because there's another election that Dems are losing coming up.

I was in my 20s in the 90s so it was the soundrtrack of my bar hopping days. But over the past decade or so I kind of ignored it, my interest in grunge waning.

However I've recently been re-immersing myself in the music and grunge was gigantic but really only for a few years, strictly speaking. Nirvana collapsed, Pearl Jam changed their sound, etc. After that we had brit-pop (Oasis) and trip-hop (Bjork, Portishead) and the rise of hip-hop and a lot of unusual mixes of genres (Pat Boone singing metal? Us3 putting out music that blended jazz and hop hop, etc). And you had stuff that stood on their own like Dave Matthews and Beck and NIN and others.

I Think the 90s was actually a really interesting era for music, now that I have some distance to re-evaluate it properly. Nothing like today, lots of new bands with totally unique sounds and experimentation with cross-genre work, pretty creative instead of the same song autotuned and overproduced over and over with every artist to the point of genericity.

I got to number 2, Macarena, and knew their criteria for best song was vastly different than mine.

In fairness, in the Biden economy she was forced to choose between rent or gasoline and bullets.

He named his kids after Buckly. Without watching it I’ll give him the benefit of the dount that based on the description (pounding the table and laughing while sayin I agree) he was trolling the other guy.

While short on evidence so far, House Republicans are plowing forward with their inquiry...

Let me rewrite that: "Despite a mountain of hard evidence, House Republicans continue slow-rolling their inquiry..."

Observation: if you listen a trans person talk about their lives they will quickly go into the path of their crushing depression and ongoing mental health struggles. Almost every single time.

They are mentally ill, it's not a debate, they will tell you themselves. And instead of treating their mental illness so they can live happy normal lives, the medical community has decided that the best treatment for their mental illness is to mutilate them, then pretend the treatment worked and give each other high fives for their progressivism.

Meanwhile, the people go on suffering until a disproportionate number commit suicide. They are worthy of sympathy, the medical community has let them down badly.

Every single American citizen could get a $1B check and there would still be almost $100B left over.

Boy, this article is written by a humorless woke puritan who sees everything as something “problematic”. The Nuclear family didn’t age well?

Liar. Forget about it, you will not get a spot in a future Trump admin and you will not get a single vote in 2028. You made your bed, lie in it. Why not, you lie everywhere else.

The Chiefs banned headdresses in 2020 at their stadium over criticism from liberal groups. They said at the time that the "chop" motion fans make was also under review.

I'd actually like to see them announce that in order to placate a few non-indian agitatators with a white-savior complex they will ban the tomahawk chop and anyone who does it will be removed.

The vast sea of empty stadium seats during a big game will be fun to see.

There were 40 sources (i.e. witnesses) so way more than 40 FBI agents engaged in making sure an uber-corrupt politician doesn’t face charges because he’s a democrat. Meanwhile, others are busy framing Trump.

But do you remember Jerry Penacoli? He was a news anchor, not a weatherman, but there were rumors about.... stuff.

I don’t buy the premise of this article.

We have TSA Pre-Check. Problem is, nowadays, so does everyone else.

It's still faster than the regular line.

She was smart she dumped Paul. and Paul's lovers have all had bad luck heaelth wise.

Or am I?
