  1. Who are you afraid of? Is it a specific group of people that you feel threatened by or is it a "it could be anyone, anywhere, anytime" kind of thing? I have the feeling Jews are not alone whatever the answer. I'm sorry this is happening.
  2. What is it with Republicans and junkies?
  3. I quit after I got 6 of the first 8 incorrect.
  4. Uh, oh. I always assumed he'd be the shut-up-and-throw, I'm-not-going-ruin-the-brand type. Well shit.
  5. The thing I had to do playing the game was give up on character and focus on story, narrative, theme, whatever you want to call it. It was a bit of a shock, and it's a lot easier to do with an immersive video game. It's also difficult to do considering how HBO marketed season 2 with the constant Pedro+Bella buddy pressers. If you're able to get past the characters and focus on the story being told, you might be in for something special. I played through the first game probably 5 times and played through the second game only once (it was a loooong game). I can't say that the game's story ended the way I wanted it to, but I will say that 5 years later it has stuck with me and 5 years later, it's still making me think, and in my opinion, that's good storytelling.
  6. Sounds like Trump is starting to feel his leash. I can't imagine a person so ill-equipped to deal with Putin as Donald Trump. Donald Trump makes deals with people, reneges on the deal, bullies them by suing and stalling them into submission, then forcing them to settle for any terms that will cut their losses. This is effective when dealing with building contractors. Putin kills people because they ruin his morning. I don't see Trump forum by him to do anything he doesn't want to do.
  7. I don't know if they're his kryptonite, but that does give me a new Tex-ism... Drier than a lesbian looking at Ted Cruz. Thanks!
  8. I found something online that said only the first $25K of tips wouldn't be taxed, and that it was really just a ploy to get people to fully report their income. Save them a little on the front end, to tax them more on the back. It was online, so I figured it must be true. Would appreciate any actual expertise.
  9. Really pathetic when the event that generates the most excitement on a college campus is a visit from... Charlie Kirk.
  10. You would have preferred Yellow Ledbetter?
  11. I bet they literally make them jump through hoops... because they a just that unoriginal.
  12. This makes sense. Considering the CO (the lady from Waiting) looks to eventually become the cult leader.
  13. They got the private school voucher grift that they wanted, now they can finish off public schools as per the plan. https://www.chron.com/politics/article/texas-public-school-funding-bill-20315208.php?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwKJwrpjbGNrAonCr2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEek4h-i8pBZl79v_yV9L7011vwoptpG0TPsV6-D8k49vQuXbfcCPyojtAjfqM_aem_LIiyBe9NIywZs90g7NKgMg
  14. The gibberish allows his supporters to fill in blanks with whatever eloquence they wish to be there... like listening to Boomhauer.

    If you're not listening to Pablo Torre Finds Out, you should give it a try... https://www.instagram.com/p/DJW5X-ZNJJa/?igsh=aGl5d2JidTNhZ3Jk
  16. It's all bullshit. Saying anything without regard for the truth, or the impact uttering the words will have, or even if the thing is possible in this reality. It's the unfiltered mind of a stupid child... not just a stupid child, the stupidest child you've ever met. If nothing happens, it's forgotten and never brought up again. If something good happens, he takes credit (even if there is zero connection). If something bad happens, it's Joe Biden's fault. Good thing the adults are back.
  17. Nah, some of these people should check out now. They're going to flip their MAGA lids when this plot twists. It was a hard game to play, but the payoff was some of the best storytelling I've ever seen. If they're struggling this much after 2 episodes they're going be miserable and they're going to make everyone else miserable too.
  18. That turkey so white it told me that Candace Owens is "one of the good ones".
  19. You know, I did things the right way. People said I should save for my son's education, so I saved for my son's education. Started a 529 because people said it was the right way. I didn't choose anything too risky, just Index Funds because people said it was the right way. I put a little (very little) money in each month and put some of his birthday and Christmas money every year. My son graduated high school last year with $20K in that 529. I know that's nothing to some of ya'll, but to me, considering that I started college with Jack Shit, being able to give my son that $20K is something I take great pride in. And now, after 20 years of doing the right thing, when my son actually needs that money to pay for school, I'm worried Trump's fucking around and I'm going to be the one finding out. Fuck every one of you that voted for him. Fuck you for not knowing better. Fuck you for not caring.
  20. They're fine. They don't know any better.
  21. DOGE cutting the agencies that have always accomplished the most while being given the least. Some might even call these agencies... efficient? Oh, the irony.
  22. I'm sure there will be a huge yearly budget dedicated to preventing people from pissing on his grave. It will just be another one of those costs DOGE chooses to ignore. They may even hire some of the fired NPS rangers for the jobs.
  23. Walking to the corner store every Sunday so my mom could make a long-distance collect call to her mom in California. I'd sit on the metal parking stop at wait to tell my grandma hello. According to Google Map, the corner store is gone now, but it was still up in 2008.... pay phone was gone. Every time I see a payphone or a shabby corner store, I get a tiny gut punch.
  24. Shoulda sold the coupon on eBay. Seriously though, that sucks... sorry.
  25. I'm always torn what to do with cards like this. Sell it now while people are paying a premium or hold onto it, so I have something better than their base rookie. I always end up deciding I don't really need the cash and hold onto the card. It's also how I end up selling a /25 Wander Franco for $3. Nice pull.
