  1. Cynical and dated, for the most part. The kind of take you'd expect to see on TexAgs in 2003. The issue, as always, is that we're trying at all. We should just not try because we haven't done it yet.
  2. I thought Graham Platner and Bernie Sanders both gave excellent speeches at Sanders' Labor Day event. Graham came on at 39:40 and Bernie speaks at 1:18:40
  3. @blacklab sorry if you have addressed this earlier, but have you thought about scraping box score data or using an API like CFBD for real time stats?
  4. Very nice! I can see it on Firefox on Android FWIW, it's not a button or anything just text that says Light/Dark that you tap
  5. Not sure if this show just isn't for me but random thoughts: A whole lot of shit the Jackal does makes no sense. He's billed as a guy that makes no mistakes, yet he does shit like openly discuss killing someone for money in public with a woman he literally just met 1 minute prior. He leaves a massive wake of destruction and obvious clues almost everywhere he goes. At times, he comes off as less of a master assassin than a more serious Mr. Bean type character who is just constantly at the mercy of an endless series of implausible accidents. There are so many plot inconsistencies and unbelievable coincidences that it would take all day to go through them, and the plot is also extremely telegraphed almost all the time. The tech conspiracy at the heart of the plot is insanely stupid and lacks any depth, especially compared to entirely realistic conspiracy in the novel. Complete waste of Charles Dance's talents casting him as basically a nameless, boring, corpo piece of shit that you forget exists every time he's off screen. The cast consists of quite a few heavy hitters, all great actors in their own right, but the show still feels like a soap opera half the time, especially the family subplot. Everything to do with his wife, child, and in-laws is so incredibly cheesy, poorly acted and poorly written that it feels almost deliberately bad. I know that real life intelligence agencies are exactly this evil and worse, but this portrayal of MI6 just feels generically cartoonish as hell. None of the characters involved are interesting at all. Bianca's character makes no sense, other than being a generic avatar for MI6. There is no reason for her to have a family subplot at all, it was all stupid and unnecessary. Nothing that happens carries any emotional weight at all because we just hop from one unbelievable scenario to another. I thought the first few episodes were pretty good and then the show just entirely went off the rails and got goofier every episode. I will probably still watch the next season because I'm a glutton for punishment.
  6. I suppose I'm mostly going to reserve judgment until I see some details. Neither the ad nor the website seems to offer anything substantive beyond mere platitudes. Not going to go CR here, but...while I like what Campbell has done for Tech, specifically (with regard to NIL etc.), I'm skeptical of his ability to do anything meaningful or good in the political arena. Given what I personally know about all the stupid fucking shit he believes and stuff like the dipshit he's pushing for Tech chancellor right now, I would be very hesitant to support any legislation he is pushing.
  7. This. Just the most obvious emperor has no clothes situation. Tom Brady really did make him.
  8. We can probably thank human biology for that, as it's not as simple as pointing and shooting. Engaging any large living target to kill causes a massive adrenaline rush, even with training. I don't know if you've ever been a deer hunter, but "buck fever" is real and very difficult to suppress even for the most seasoned hunter. I hate to even give the impression that I'm drawing a comparison between game hunting and mass shooters, but the point is I imagine that the flood of adrenaline in your system that makes you jittery and makes your hands shaky as fuck sometimes when you're hunting is amplified tenfold in a situation like this, unless you have had A) a complete psychotic break in which your brain is not functioning/producing hormones normally, and/or B) extensive military training. Someone like Charles Whitman would be a good example of both.
  9. Zionists being extremely Nazi-coded is nothing new
  10. He needs to scowl a bit more. That'll probably help. He's an average NFL coach without Brady and probably just a straight F-tier college coach. I hope they lose out.
  11. Can you paste the article in a spoiler? It's paywalled.
  12. I need that fucking shirt.
  13. Link? I'm not calling you a liar, I have a fair number of differences with Mr. Campbell. But I'm interested to know what his position is on that, I haven't seen anything that I cared to pay attention to.
  14. Jesus enough with the AI pics
  15. What is this man doing
  16. Dude committed DURING his OV to pig aggy, too. That must have been awkward.
  17. Ahhh I did not know that
  18. I mean there's still hope
  19. Why would you put the grass through that
  20. Keep posting tweets from pedophiles to make your point, though, I'm sure it will land eventually you Zionist pussy.
  21. This is actually it. I'm shocked he didn't just outright call him a kapo.
  22. Diddy Dan follower claims to not know who Destiny is. Desperation doesn't suit you, stick to your usual hasbara, you fucking prick. I actually weep for your daughters that you follow guys like Pedo Dan to get your clips. Hopefully they grow up relatively normal.
  23. God damn it fucking rules and makes so much sense that 956 is a Destiny fan. God that's so fucking funny. Literally made my Saturday.
