  1. Not my wheelhouse, as kids are older, but man the reviews online are vicious - on pace to outflop Marvels
  2. My older ariats have stretched out to the point that I can get insoles in them and I could wear them all day. Such a difference.
  3. Welcome to the world of the swagger wagon!
  4. Following - broke off the little plastic handle to an air freshener in one of the vents, so when I crank the air it rattles around in there and drives me crazy
  5. Mule has typical mule face....what the actual fuck are we doing out here....
  6. $1 totinos for the win. I had a stack of them. Pop 'em in that little toaster oven that sat on the counter with a glass door. I used to murder those with extreme prejudice.
  7. People are tribal. News at 11. This constant "we should....we should.....we should". Maybe it's you should. You should get off social media. You should focus on spending more time with the people that matter in your life. You should control what you can control - this begins with the acknowledgement that the more time you spend on social media, just know that you are being intentionally manipulated. Again, there is a clear correlation between the polling and the spike in online use. Would someone in drag be treated differently in a small city - yeah. Would someone from a small town who dresses and talks like they are from a small town be treated differently in a big city - yeah.
  8. Too soon....
  9. Lol. No, but I've been to Coleman and Runnels county. San Saba county. Lots of twats, but also lots of just regular people. I think the rural vs urban distinction comes down to needing one another. It's more difficult to be self-sustaining in rural America. I've had many reciprocal situations over the years having fence problems, vehicle issues, cattle issues where your neighbors matter. I've helped mend neighbors fences and had them pull me out of the damn mud when I was being a dumb ass. Or let us know when a cow was stuck. You can't uber home. There is no food delivery. There are not stores on every corner. Being a good neighbor matters more
  10. All true, and I think social media has ramped that up to a 10. It's amplifying unrealistic expectations. What's the saying: "Comparison is the thief of joy" Social media says hold my beer.
  11. Because it was face to face. Spend time WITH people. Do shit WITH people. That doesn't have to end when you get a job and a house. We're social creatures, but there is nothing social and this new medium that uses the precise algorithms or getting people upset because they figured out cute puppy pictures don't drive engagement like anger does. The worst thing FB ever did was add that little red dot. A notification when someone else liked or commented on YOUR post - so we check it out, and that's the hook. This site is no different. Take that away and you'd have to search back over your posts to see what everyone thinks, but instead that little red dot sucks you in and takes you right back into the fray....it's an engagement mechanism to drive more and more responses.
  12. Correlates with the timeline social media went into hyperdrive....newsflash people. Get the fuck off social media. You want to talk politics and geopolitical shit, do it face to face. Social media and the rise in depression That's people. Find better people, or change the subject My man!
  13. Wait, we talking football or Chi-O's and tri-delts?
  14. Yeah, back in the 80's the FBI created what they called the Tueller Drill. Stating that if someone is within 21ft of you, they can close the gap faster than you can draw, aim, and fire your pistol. It's not 100% accurate, but the point is clear. Keep your distance.
  15. So many, but let's start with firearms as I've been binging cop/drug/special agent shows lately and I'm grumpy Bullets do not "spark" on impact. Protagonist shoulder impacts - especially around the clavicle destroy the entire arm. It's done. If it nicks the deltoid, maybe...but a solid hit anywhere around the joint and it's game over. Reloading. It's a thing Hiding behind cars. Not a thing. Pistol rounds maybe. Rifle rounds, outside of the engine block, are passing through. Especially the doors. Pistol accuracy - when did every cop, every criminal, and every agent learn to shoot their sidearm with the accuracy and efficacy of a tier 1 operator that spends tens of thousands of rounds a week in practice. Suppressors. They are not "silencers", they are suppressors. And unless they are using sub-sonic ammo, and even that isn't "silent" it's still loud. Especially inside. A suppressed, sub-sonic .22lr is the only thing that comes close to "Hollywood quiet" Vests - they can stop many pistol rounds, but you will often have cracked ribs and internal bleeding as a souvenir. On to explosives Grenades make a very loud "pop". There is no fireball. They don't take down buildings. It's not like a can of gasoline ignited. Cars when they catch fire don't explode. They burn aggressively, but they don't explode like a 55 gallon drum of gasoline
  16. This all sounds great, but I want to be able to manufacture long, soul-crushing drives and wear teams down. This pass rush is going to reek havoc on teams having to play from behind and on obvious passing downs.
  17. Isolated for over a year with the same annoying people - yeah, I get it
  18. Salties in Australia say hold my beer - but point taken
  19. The chair is against the wall
  20. Leave your flappy turkey neck out of this Greatest. Movie. Evah….
  21. Watched that steaming pile of kitten shit over the weekend. 90's robot uprising nonsense. I just turned it off, and I love Pratt and sci-fi movies.
  22. Not a great sign when you put all your aces down on the table early on in the game
