Zendaya already has an Emmy. -and- Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Award. How much more famous does she need to be, really? -- nm - IAmQale Apr 12, 15:05 6
- Zendaya sounds like a U2 song, but I don't know if getting a U2 song named after you at this late date would boost your fame any. -- nm - Max Apr 12, 15:17 3

So the latest nonsense from the National Review is basically them going all out for restricting democracy, using Jim Crow as an example of bad things - Reagen Apr 12, 15:04 22
- Look, unrestricted democracy can sometimes lead to restricted democracy. Do I have to spell it out for you? -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 15:46
- Lol. -- nm - znufrii Apr 12, 15:06
- We need these Jim Crow-esque laws to stop Jim Crow -- nm - ty97 Apr 12, 15:06
- Interesting article yesterday that 120 CEOs of large companies got together this weekend to discuss how to fight these voting law changes. - pmb Apr 12, 15:06 18
  - I'm troubled by this. I mean, they are on the side of good here, but I'm troubled anyway. -- nm - ty97 Apr 12, 15:06 17
    - Reverse boycott -- nm - Dano Apr 12, 15:17 1
      - also known as a Republican boycott, since they generally buy a bunch of stuff to destroy it. -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 15:18
    - I mean the current system as dictated by Citizens United is a slow moving disaster. But given the facts on the ground, it's better than corps - Reagen Apr 12, 15:09 1
      - Yeah, we're on the same page. -- nm - ty97 Apr 12, 15:09
    - Sure, but there is also a reap/sow element to it. -- nm - pmb Apr 12, 15:08 12
      - Also, it's interesting to me that in some ways this is a reflection of corporations being more responsive to constituents than politicians. - pmb Apr 12, 15:09 11
        
        Different pools of people. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 12, 15:11 10
        
        Yes and no. These voting laws are widely unpopular even among republicans. There's a divide between republican politicians and republican voters on - pmb Apr 12, 15:15 6
        
        Maybe, but it isn't the Hillbilly Elegy crowd that the corporations are dancing to on this. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 12, 15:36 1
        
        I get your argument, but I don't think they go all in on this if it wasn't for the fact that it's a view shared by the majority of republicans too. - pmb Apr 12, 15:51
        
        Saw an interesting graph today that Jim Crow laws took out 30% of white voters at the same time. -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 15:17 3
        
        Republicans are perfectly happy to disenfranchise Republicans as long as the get more Democrats. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 15:51
        
        These would likely do the same. Some have expressed concern they might hurt themselves more than they help, but I don't think so. - pmb Apr 12, 15:24
        
        The GOP doesn't much like poor white people either. -- nm - . Apr 12, 15:23
        
        as an aside, I actually defended Winnipeg the other day at work. Prairie solidarity I guess - Reagen Apr 12, 15:13 2

- Ummm, that’s wrong at least for 2014. Brees had 40 more completions than Ryan. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 14:39 3
  - Actually, it’s just wrong in a lot of ways. Ryan led the league in completions in 19 and 20...that’s it. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 14:41 2

    - I believe so. Same batch, filled with helium. -- nm - Max Apr 12, 13:43 5
      - They moved the headstones but they didn't move the bodies? - JaxSean Apr 12, 13:45 4
        
        First we expected the sun to heat them up and make them expand. But maybe the expansion let the helium out? - Max Apr 12, 13:47 3
