america's super power is that a sikh guy can move to america, put on an american flag snap up button down and cowboy hat on top of his dastar and say god bless america and a chud will high five him and say hell yeah brotherrr!!!

the thing you have to understand about elite swimmers is that they are, without exception, some of the dumbest idiots on the planet. i turned down scholarships because it is the most boring sport imaginable and your brain has to be walnut sized to tough it out. i wouldn't worry about any of this

the swimmer who was born with webbed feet says trans people have a "biological advantage" that doesnt belong in sports. incredible. you cant make this shit up www.buzzfeed.com/ryanschocket...

a mistake a lot of first time parents make is not taking babies places early on while they're still immobile and will sleep 18 hours per day and in almost any environment, especially if being held. Take your baby to a basketball game or the Odyssey or happy hour, you'll regret not doing so by age 1

is there some future competitive advantage with college admissions if you deafened your child to Ludwig Göransson

Every time this discourse comes up, I'll reskeet this video. If you're willing to pay the *inflation-adjusted* equivalent of the "high quality old thing," you can find something similar today! But if you're looking at nominal prices, of course it'll seem worse made.

The takeaway: you can still buy the quality you used to, you just need to pay the inflation-adjusted price of what it "used to" cost (eg, something that was $30 would now be $100, and the $100 thing will be as good as the old one). However, there are now cheaper options, which *are* lower quality.
