  1. Do the group 1 people get to take off sooner?
  2. Has there ever been a game, since the invention of the line of scrimmage, that ended in a 0-0 tie? Because I feel pretty good making the statement, "If you can hold your opponent to zero points, you will win the game." The number of times that statement ends up not being true is insignificant.
  3. that reminds me, I still use my old TI-84 calculator on occasion.
  4. Newspapers. Still buy em and read em. Pisses me off that you can't get a newspaper in an airport anymore. Also, glass pipes. I'm too old for that vaping crap.
  5. My mind agrees with you. Other body parts however have a different opinion.
  6. Didn't watch the video, and I'm not going to, but the kid doesn't look fat in the screenshot.
  7. I haven't read the thread, but based on just this last page, I don't think I missed much. But if Biden wants to win the youth vote, he needs to push hard for decriminalizing the Mary Jane at the federal level.
  8. The truly amazing thing is that she thought that telling that story would somehow be good for her political career.
  9. Getting your news from a citizen journalist is like getting your appendix removed from a citizen surgeon. (Except the citizen journalist is killing democracy, while the citizen surgeon is only killing you) The internet is killing democracy. But hey, it makes it easy to get the lulz on surlyhorns or to pay your bills or look at pics of your grandkids who live a thousand miles away! Some may say that social media is killing democracy. If you can separate social media from the internet, then I guess that is more accurate. But as long as we are going to have the internet, we are going to have social media. How long after you got your first email account did you get one of those fwd: fwd: fwd: fwd: emails from your uncle? The same uncle who has now probably gone full maga?
  10. I'm assume it was so expensive because there were complications.
  11. Hip or trick knee started aching or arthritis flared up suddenly. Been in the shelter three or four times spending summers as a youth on the grandparents' farm in N. Texas as a kid. Big hole in the ground with a heavy ass door that opened up from the ground. Concrete steps down into darkness, with only a kerosene lantern and some flashlights. Door was not rainproof so there was usually water in the bottom. Emergency radio would alarm would go off in the middle of the night and we'd grab flashlights and head for the shelter. We'd sit in the dark and look at each other and listen to the emergency radio and slap at mosquitos and sweat in the humidity and hope there were no snakes.
  12. attention whore getting desperate when the spotlight moves on.
  13. Also lot of kids died from diseases that are now preventable by.... yep, you guessed it... vaccines. (No, not Frank Stallone)
  14. Looking at that top pic, I had to spend a minute figuring out if I was looking at the back or the front. And I'm still not sure.
  15. He beat DOTard like a drum the last time they "debated". How sweet! He took Melania golfing for her birthday.
  16. Tents?! They were setting up TENTS!!??!11!??!!11 How about the cops walk over, and inform the tent people that tents are not allowed, and that they need to be taken down. I bet if they asked nicely, 90% of those tents would be taken down. And the 10% that refuse, write them a ticket and confiscate the tents. Do we really need to arrest people for setting up tents?
  17. I stand by my post. Assuming Hartzell is not aligned with abbott, then yeah Hartzell should have told abbott to go fuck himself. If that costs him his job, well then I guess he loses his job. I'm sure with a little effort he would be able to find gainful employment somewhere that he isn't beholden to wannabe fascists. Honestly, he probably should have resigned when he was forced to fire the DEI faculty. If for no other reason, he would not have been involved in this "next thing".
  18. And if he didn't have any other options, then he should have resigned. And held a press conference explaining why. Go out a hero, not become a fascist enabler.
  19. Also, speaking of being old, The Crown and Anchor was called "The Beach" when I was in school.
