  1. Good take- she’s a really good actor and regardless of the fact that she’s not conventionally attractive the camera really likes her face, which is true for a lot of actors.* Her problem is that what I’ve seen so far is bad dialogue and bad story telling. * Quite a few film and TV actors have a real uncanny valley look that draws the camera but would be strange and unsettling in another context. I’ve been in a room with Olivia Wilde and the structure of her face is so unusual that she looks like she’s on a slightly different evolutionary path. Same thing with Austin Butler. Anna Kendrick looks extremely fragile, etc. Neither are unattractive, per se, they just look sort of human-adjacent
  2. So he’s a weeb, a neckbeard, a sex pest (allegedly), AND, of course:

  5. She’s witty- when she was about 14 she was listening to my FIL sing Paul Ryan’s praises and when he said “and I like that he doesn’t have any skeletons in his closet,” she said “Or in his body!”
  6. This is ridiculous and I like Old Settlers Park
  7. Only sort of related - I drive a Ford. My daughter was in town recently, and one day we pulled up behind a Cybertruck with one of those "I got it before I knew he was a Nazi" bumper stickers. I laughed, and she said, "Yeah that's funny, but what would be really funny is if you got one of those stickers."
  8. I haven't read this thread to avoid spoilers. I really liked Season 1. Episode 1 and 2 of this season have bored me to tears. Is there any reason to keep watching?
  9. This is true. My kid is finishing college in Scotland. Once upon a time an American abroad (and especially a Texan!) was treated like a visiting celebrity. Not so anymore. It's more a mix of sadness and dismay mixed with superiority - like the way we treated Croat and Bosnian refugees in the 90's. Now the first question she gets is "Do you have guns?" After Uvalde the jokes wore thin and she pitched an opinion piece for the student newspaper called "The mass shooting in my home is not your punchline," but they didn't want to run it because if America doesn't like being the butt of jokes about shootings we shouldn't let so many people get shot.
  10. Brother I've spent the better part of multiple Saturday mornings in the Walmart on the Seawall in Galveston. I have seen some shit.
  11. Honestly America would be better off if our consumption shifted back to mostly wearing clothing made in America that was fairly expensive, very high quality, and made by skilled union labor.

  13. My grandad is buried in that cemetery. He served in WWII and took part in the Battle of the Bulge and its aftermath. After the war ended he spent nearly a year on cleanup in Germany and Eastern France. Since he had an armorer’s rating one of his jobs was to destroy M1919’s by shooting them into river banks for hours until the barrels melted. They didn’t have much ear protection and he was hard of hearing for the rest of his life. He died in 2021 at 100, and we finally had the funeral about a year later. It was a small group- me and my kids, my dad and his wife, my aunt and her family, and a couple of friends. They led us to a little pavilion, we all said a few words, they played taps, and folded up the flag. Then the Officer In Charge presented the folded flag to my aunt and said, “On behalf of the president of the United States and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your loved one’s honorable and faithful service.” The last time my grandfather voted in a Federal election was when he voted for Joe Biden in 2020. It was the first time he had voted for a Democrat since Jimmy Carter in ‘76. He said that 2020 was the most important vote of his life, and maybe the most important thing he ever did for his country.
