re: Livvy Dunne will be a regular on the Baywatch reboot

What is she even doing now that she’s not a third-string gymnast?
This is the definition of being a hater. She has clearly done a good job of keeping herself relevant and establishing celebrity status.
I never actively kept up with her or the gymnastics team, just an easily observable assessment that she is more than a gymnast. She has positioned herself to be an actual It Girl, rather than simply a gymnast, which is pretty shrewd because the most famous female gymnasts peak at like 16.
Couple all that with the fact that she is a proud LSU alum, and dating another that will likely be the richest LSU player ever very soon, you have to be a hater by nature to make this sort of comment.
re: Tucker doing his CIA mind tricks thing, says Trump means rape Iranian women for trophies

Trump wouldnt lie would he?
I’m not sure how you could call it a lie, as you are using one line from a press release and a series of press conferences as the entire claim. And even if you do accept the quote as the entire claim that all nuclear development facilities have been destroyed, that does not preclude them from continuing development since that time.
You can not like the decisions from the US, I get that, but those attacks last year were very explicitly framed as a warning, and Iran has a history of secretly developing nuclear sites and not honoring agreements, nuclear agreements specifically. Point being, time has passed, and it is not unreasonable to believe that their nuclear capabilities are more advanced now (or a few weeks ago) than they were after those strikes last year.
Calling Trump a liar over this, in my opinion, is a defense mechanism from having to mentally engage and understand the entire history surrounding Iranian hostility. It spans decades, and countries and leaders have been involved - it is an incredibly dynamic situation involving different t cultures and radical beliefs. In other words, it’s complicated.
None of that is a justification, it’s just a counter to a very lazy viewpoint attempting to establish what cannot be a justification

It’s mind boggling after what happened in Iraq with the claims of wmd’s and people still bite on it every single time.
Well this is quite a different story, and has developed a lot since that time. Iran’s uranium enrichment saga is pretty well documented. It’s actually mind boggling that you would equate the two.

That’s because most people capable of being in politics have too much integrity to play the game. The result is Congress being filled with liars and grifters which compounds keeping good people out of

Independent means neither party represents you.
I think the point is that it’s relatively easy to affirmatively say the Democratic Party does NOT represent you, without saying the Republican Party does.
The Dems have positioned themselves as all or nothing and have made it very transparent, so I agree with the notion that being “independent” in the sense of considering both sides in this day in age is rather silly. The Dems are infected, it’s a hijacked party.

That’s true. Both of these examples are straight up dangerous if you don’t know about them, but the interstate to interstate ramp is crazy because of the incoming speed from I55

You think he is a nazi, which is bad. You think he is like Hitler, who while honest, is bad because he is a nazi. But you also think we may just be finding out he may have been right about the Jews all along…which again makes Trump very bad.
Are you capable of constructing a coherent point? Or simply throwing out outrageous statements that can only be considered independent of any other thought running through your brain?
I envy how easy it must be to live a life without intellectual honesty.
Tired of not being alone.

I’m not against them either, as long as they accomplish something. Unfortunately, all they seem to be doing, is collecting money for the government at the expense of business and consumers.
And it pissed off other countries that would have increased tariffs on their goods. It’s almost as if the impact of tariffs is more dynamic than who “pays” for them.

The day AI can be thrown under the bus is the day this claim may become true. The deeper I get into my career, the more I realize my job, as with most professional jobs, is outsourcing decision-making, responsibility and liability.

A lazy and incorrect take.
Lazy? Maybe. Incorrect? You didn’t explain how so.
Louisiana roads are not good, the output of new, or reconstruction, is underwhelming. At least some of that deserves to be put on the contractors, and it sounds like we are in agreement that the contracting market is highly concentrated with profitable companies.
In job inspection or resident inspection is a complete joke and gravy train for whoever has the contract.
re: Why does interstate work take so long? The 18 mile Atchafalaya stretch took 2 years
Posted by OceanMan on 2/16/26 at 8:16 am to Ramblin Wreck
My anecdotal take is that at least in LA, there here are no good road contractors. There are a few big ones that charge huge fees and take as long as they want, which has led to the lower bidders having huge variations in quality.
The major projects I have seen finished in the past 10 years have been underwhelming at best, unacceptable at worst. From engineering and planning issues, to premature surface degradation and poorly marked roads. Most of the projects leave behind temporary or straight up incorrect markings that make it look incomplete.
And I know this wasn’t always the case because I’ve seen other roads, writhing LA and especially outside. Florida roads from highways to local streets are much higher quality.
Another thing I’ve noticed in the past 5 years or so is the amount of paint just spilled onto the surface, which I imagine is from careless subs. Shame.
