  2. I was in my daughter's school the other day, and there was a poster on the wall, professionally designed and printed, something about making sure you are prepared for college/life after high school. The title said, in big bold letters: "Preparing for You're Future" I pointed it out to my daughter as we walked by, and she rolled her eyes and said "no one cares, Dad." I told her I care. Now I can tell her assholes on the internet also care.
  3. Do I look like I am joking? Seriously though. It dragged. Pablo's in his self made prison. Lets drag that out for three episodes be cause we still have 4 more episodes until the season ends. Lets make up some unneeded drama by having the main character get kidnapped, then released, and everything's fine. That'll take care of one episode. Its the same problem over and over with a lot of these shows. Good premise, starts off good, generally good acting, then the writers start mailing it in. The first season of Dark Winds had the same problem. I also thought the voice over narration was unneeded. The plot was pretty straight forward. It felt like the narration was just tacked on for the people who watch their phones more than the TV, and can't follow a plot and need help. Good for them I guess, but it takes away from the quality of the show. Also, it seemed that a couple of times the narration was used to explain the plot hole away. Just do away with the narration, and don't have plot holes. (The narration in Blade Runner, for example, was also not needed. It was added later because the studios though the audience was too dumb to understand what was going on without it. If that's the case, the solution is a better script/writing/editing/whatever, not narration.)

  5. What is the difference between sex and gender? Google AI gets it right: sex refers to an individual's biological attributes, including chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive organs, typically classified as male or female. Gender, on the other hand, is a social construct related to an individual's self-perception and expression, which may or may not align with their assigned sex at birth Maybe Nancy should learn the difference. "Biology" isn't bigotry, because "biology" doesn't give a shit about gender, or which bathroom people use. So, I can tell you the sex of all the different non-lethal sex chromosome variations*, but I would have to ask the individual what their gender is. (Note they are called "sex chromosomes" and not "gender chromosomes", Nancy). Anybody claiming that male sex = male gender or female sex = female gender doesn't know shit about biology or sociology or psychology, and needs to STFU. *Simple answer: Presence of a Y chromosome = individual develops as a male; lack of a Y chromosome = individual develops as a female). But even that gets complicated because there are gene mutations on the Y chromosome that can result in female sex characteristics being expressed, despite the individual being genetically male. tldr: sex and gender are not the same thing.
  6. Assuming there is a rooster in the mix, can you get the hens to brood the eggs, and produce chicks? Anybody?
  7. I think technically they are extorting the foreign countries, not bribing them. Checkmate libtards.
  8. I imagine that they recover it if they can for no other reason than they don't want anyone else will recover it. I can't imagine that anything on a high tech jet is usable after sitting on the bottom of the ocean.
  9. Same with the Muslim community. They are conservative, so they have to come up with a "reason" to note vote for Harris. That reason is Gaza.
  10. When you only watch fox you never hear this.
  11. Take your crummy Doge and shove it up your ass -Tanner, probably
  12. Hearing that song makes me feel a little flashback-y
  13. both statements are true
  14. Welp, Carney shows up and sucks off DoTARd, after basically running against him to win the election. Other than gently suggesting that Canada is not for sale, he crawled around that meeting like a gimp in a rubber suit. Disappointing.
  15. Maybe she's upset that "gender" should be "genders"? Not surprised she's a grammar nazi.
  16. I think in aggregate, we are not being hysterical enough.
  17. Finally watched Narcos (first season only). Very meh. Started second season, couldn't make it through the first episode. I think if they had done away with the narration, it would have been a lot better. So, I recommend you do not watch it.
  18. I hope none are. I hope someone in congress grows some balls and stops it. I expect they will try to sell as much as they can. Will it actually happen? Who knows? But even trying to sell off national forests/parks should result in figurative pitchforks and literal guillotines.
  19. I seem to recall her being pretty fucking hot way back before all the surgery. Damn shame.
  20. I tried my hardest to hear or see dOTarD during the campaign. The one time I listened to part of one his rallies, he said something like "I'm going to impose tariffs like you've never seen. 100%, maybe 200%, who knows how high I'll go." And fat, old, white people wearing DoTArD shit on their shirts and heads, all made in chyna of course, clapped and yelled in approval.
  21. For halloween, I pass out ceramic-filtered rainwater in dried gourd containers.
  22. We line dry. Unless its just a wet, drizzly, foggy day, it dries at least as quickly, if not quicker, on the line than in the dryer.
  23. Couple of summers ago, I took the TGV from Germany to Paris. If you've ever ridden the TGV, you know how crowded and chaotic the boarding process is. So my wife and I get on the train, and fight our way through the crowded stairs to the upper level of the train where are seats are, but get stuck in the mosh at the top of the stair. Can't move forward or back, people just crammed in. There was this American family of father, mother, teenage son, teenage daughter, and younger son who had just an incredible shit load of baggage. I honestly have no idea how they managed to get on the train with all their shit. They were behind us a little ways on the stairs, also completely log jammed, like everybody else. Trains starts pulling away from the station, and the mother starts screaming about one of her bags. "Did you get my bag!!?? Did you leave it at the station?? Frank, where's my bag?" at the top of her lungs. Just completely losing her shit. Screaming at her family for losing her bag, screaming at the train conductors to stop the train, etc. Just completely unbelievable. As if they were actually going to stop the high speed train and return to the station for her stupid bag. People were laughing at her in three or four different languages.
  24. One of my favorite Yellowstone idiot deaths: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Colin_Scott#:~:text=On June 7%2C 2016%2C Colin,spring in Yellowstone National Park. On June 7, 2016, Colin Nathaniel Scott, a 23-year-old American man from Portland, Oregon, died after falling into a thermal hot spring in Yellowstone National Park. The incident occurred in the Norris Geyser Basin, an area known for its geothermal features, including acidic and high-temperature hot springs. Scott and his sister, Sable Scott, had deviated from the designated boardwalk area and entered a restricted section of the park. Reports indicate that they intended to partake in "hot potting," the prohibited activity of bathing in Yellowstone's thermal pools. When park officials arrived at the scene, they initially found partial remains, including Scott's head, upper torso, and hands.[1] However, the extreme heat of the spring, which had reached 100 °C (212 °F), along with an incoming lightning storm, prevented immediate recovery. By the following day, the acidic water had dissolved his body, leaving only a few personal belongings, such as his wallet and flip-flops. Boiled to death in acid. What a way to go.
