Has Jersey Mike's been expanding? They have been around here for well more than a decade.

But yeah they are far better than Subway, but thats like comparing something like Five Guys, In N Out, or Whataburger to McDonalds.

Thom Yorke - Suspiria

How have I not heard of this

Because it just came out and its a movie soundtrack.

And its such a damn good soundtrack.

Ready Player One is very good once you get past all the nostalgia pandering. It has its faults, but it is classic Spielberg storytelling and spectacle.

Tomb Raider is very bland.

35. Pusha T - DAYTONA
36. Jeff Rosenstock - POST-

This is a tragedy. Jeffs best, worse than the Kanye 5s worst? No way!

But I like a lot of the albums on your list, and about a third to a half would also make my top 50. Pretty solid year.

Daytona was my favorite of the albums he was involved with this year (also I definitely preferred Worry, which might be in my top 10 of that year). Though I will admit, Ghost Town on ye is incredible, but the incredible highs of that album don't outweigh the big lows of it to me, Daytona I loved throughout.

Also I just have to include Jenny Hval's new EP on here even if it isn't a full album. It's simply remarkable. Another confirmation to me that she is the greatest working artist today.

In comparison to the league around them, easily Jordan. Individually, I think Lebron edges him out, and not just in his own skill but as a team leader.

I agree with this, but if your comparing individual talent against the league they're in, then wilt is probably the best in that regard

Oh definitely.

why would anyone want to know this

It kind of makes sense because I think in the eyes of women who struggle to have children naturally, things like IVF is still kind of stigmatized and viewed as unnatural. I'm sure thats the mindset of her declaring this, since so many people care about what celebrities do, its an attempt to make IVF more normalized.

like it or not... he has been at the forefront of almost every good innovation in hip hop over the last 15 years.

Explains the hip-hop dumpster fire of late.

I would argue Migos and Future are mostly the chief influence over a lot of the last few years, but notably the trends that I am not a fan of nor are plenty of others, like simple trap beats being the norm and the more mumble style of vocals.

Just because of his music. And... like it or not... he has been at the forefront of almost every good innovation in hip hop over the last 15 years. He isn't the best rapper, far from it, and he isn't the best producer (though he is pretty great). But from his first albums to his pop rap albums to his more experimental post-MBDTF albums, each of them ushered in a new wave of artists clearly influenced by Kanye's styles.

Also I'll never understand the people who are against modern Kanye's music but massive fans of his old stuff. The College Dropout is my favorite album of his too, but Yeezus, outside of maybe Bound 2 as a closer, was fantastic, and Life of Pablo, despite being a mess of an album, had some really genius ideas underlying a decent amount of the tracks. Also I'm not personally a fan of his most recent album, but the other 2018 albums he worked heavily on (Kids See Ghosts and Pusha T's album) both had some fantastic production imo.

But yeah, I don't think anyone is claiming he is a genius outside of music and self-branding, and if they are they are kidding themselves.

Just finished episode 9 so one episode to go. Really fantastic show. Particularly loved episodes 5 and 6, some really amazing stuff, very emotional too. Frequently more of a family drama than a horror movie, but that just makes it all the better.

Been watching it, about half way through now. Really like it, Flanagan has a good sense for horror and I really like how the series deals with childhood trauma and manifesting those traumas into horror motifs.

Yeah I heard so much hating on them throughout the day so I was curious and looked them up. It is actually incredible how much he sounds like Robert Plant, but embarrassing too. I gave 3 songs a chance, and while they do sound like Led Zeppelin, it really feels like they are trying their best to do a straight imitation of them. I wouldn't go as far as to say I hated it, but it was definitely bad.

Some people liked the first one, no one liked the 2nd.

Really? Maybe when it came out, but recently I have seen nothing but massive praise for Halloween II. Most of the people I see talk about it think its the best non-Carpenter Halloween.

I haven't seen it, or any of the Halloween movies besides Carpenter's original.

Obviously not saying these are the end all to which presidents is better than who, and obviously all of our own rankings would differ due to political opinions. But a ranking based on the opinion of an expert carries far more weight, no matter the subject, and its silly to just yell bias when there isn't a chance in hell you, me, or anyone in this topic is more informed on American political history than any of the people polled.

Recently they already surveyed 170 members of the American Political Science Association and, even though his term isn't complete yet so it isn't a fair assessment, Trump was ranked at the bottom, just barely below Buchanan overall.

In particular, here is the bottom 10 compared between democratic scholars, independent scholars, and republican scholars

Bias!

The bias being... Republicans whose profession is studying the nature of politics think Trump is one of the worst presidents?

I'm sorry but I don't care what either your average Joe who hasn't studied history, economics, or international politics since high school, if ever, thinks about the quality of presidents and how they have shaped into its history, and instead only know what they know through all the bias in their life, such as you. People who study history daily, from all sources? Yeah those are the people who are going to have informed and minimally biased opinions.

You and ICOYAR are just ridiculous, imagine thinking highly educated people are the people who are most not to be trusted when it comes to the things that they dedicate their lives towards. It's like not trusting an aerospace engineer when it comes to designing planes; better consult Zeus when it comes to plane design, he clearly is more informed.

Democrat Scholars
35. Taylor
36. Tyler
37. Hoover
38. A. Johnson
39. Fillmore
40. Pierce
41. Harding
42. W.H. Harrison
43. Buchanan
44. Trump

Independent
35. Hoover
36. Nixon
37. Tyler
38. Fillmore
39. Harding
40. Pierce
41. A. Johnson
42. W.H. Harrison
43. Trump
44. Buchanan

Republican
35. Garfield
36. Taylor
37. Tyler
38. Harding
39. Filmore
40. Trump
41. A. Johnson
42. Pierce
43. W.H. Harrison
44. Buchanan

So Trump, Buchanan, W.H. Harrison, Andrew Johnson, Pierce, Harding, Fillmore are common between all three in the bottom 10, Trump being the only post WW2 president of the 7.

In comparison to the top 10 for each party, Lincoln, FDR, Theodore Roosevelt and Washington are in the top 4 for each, while Jefferson, Truman, Eisenhower are also in the top 10 of each. Meanwhile the democrats had Obama, LBJ and Wilson in the top 10, indepndents had Reagan, Madison and John Adams, and republicans had Reagan, McKinley, and Jackson.

Yeah its definitely a mixed bag. I generally think of the episodes as individual entities instead of a show as a whole because there is definitely a lot of variation in the quality of episodes.

40 hours per week. I'm fine with amount of free time. It's when I have it that I'm not thrilled about.

I get Monday and Tuesday off. I work from 130pm to 10 PM. I'm ok with the days off since the woman that I just started seeing has the same days. But I'd really like to work earlier.

That's not bad considering how it coincides with the woman you are seeing. I assume you are both busy on the weekends though then?

I volunteer for OT to make extra $$.

I wish but I'm gonna be an exempt/salary employee so overtime is expected and unpaid, but the job itself does pay very well and a good $5-15k a year more than some of the other jobs I have interviewed for over the past few months.

I guess the reason I ask is because next week I will be starting my first real job after graduating last May, but it is very likely I will be working 50+ hours a week. And while I am definitely excited, I'm not sure I am prepared to transition into this sort of work-life balance without it just making my depression worse. I don't know, I am just worried, but excited to finally be doing something substantial and making real money too.
