    I was in 7th grade and I remember being extremely upset that they didn't cancel afternoon football practice. Selfish little asshole that I was not grasping the magnitude of the event, also why the fuck didn't they cancel football practice? After practice I remember going home and watch hour after hour of coverage on cable. I got sick of it later in the evening and noticed that Nickelodeon was the only channel not talking about it so I watched like an hour of Spongebob before going to bed. My wife was in Kindergarten at the time and has no memory of it other than adults being upset about something.

    We were all 12 years younger too which helped in 2011.

    Hey today should beat the September 8 high record by 7 fucking degrees.

    Most of the alure was that it gave the Black community a major superhero to identify with at a time when comic book movies were the most popular movies being made.

    No, the audience sucks ass too.

    My wife did the math on making 80k at her district in Texas (one of the better paying districts as it's known as a bad one). If she did summer school (3 weeks) plus signed up for tutoring for the entire year (Mon-Thu from 4-6:30), and she completed the TEA Leadership whatever program (usually that means lying about how good your kids can read to the state) then she'd come out at above $80k. This is on top of her Bilingual and Masters stipends that are there because she's expected to do both English and Spanish newsletters every 3 weeks, lesson planning for all 4 subjects (that she can't get help on from her teammates as she's the only Bilingual teacher in her grade at her school), grading, SPED Meetings, mentoring a new teacher, and being on the Hispanic heritage committee. I sarcastically told her she should do it and her response was: "I'd rather kill myself, but not after I kill you first"

    No they're not. Its all ancient history that has nothing to do with America today because its negative and questions the civil religion of American perfection which of course we can't have. Never mind the fact that the US had a Senator that said, "The negro cannot count forever on the kind of restraint that's thus far left him free to clog the streets, disrupt traffic, and interfere with other men's rights...Crime rates and irresponsibility among Negroes are facts of life which must be faced." And that motherfucker was in office until 2003.

    A madhouse and they used to do decoration up right, but some people have been disappointed in recent years. I'm sure if you haven't been around the holidays though that you'll find the decoration to still be good. I will say though that the week before Christmas is infinitely better than the week after. New Year's at Disney can be pure misery if you're going to ride rides instead of enjoying the party.

    Starfield

    SimonBolivar replied to NoName's topic in Video Games

    I use Greenlight to stream my XBox to Steamdeck for Starfield and it works like a charm. On Starfield, I haven't done any of the mainline missions after getting to New Atlantis as the UC Vanguard mission line is too good to stop (16 hours in the game total).

    SimonBolivar replied to NoName's topic in Video Games

    Uhhh, yes. Also I couldn't wait until Wednesday so I upgraded and played about 5 hours. I've done 0 main mission stuff since getting to New Atlantis and I'm still have a good time.

    Northwestern isn't amazing and they're bad more often than not, but they have had SOME success on the football field. Imagine where their football program would be if they got MAC money instead of B1G money. They'd have even less support and success than they have today.

    MWC has a pretty big GoR and/or buyout. I bet you see Wazzu and OSU joining them not the other way around. Also, I'm assuming that the AAC announcing that they aren't looking west means that the PNW 2 didn't pick them and not the other way around. It would be incredibly stupid of the 2024 AAC to allow their biggest competitor to add two former P5 schools.

    If your donors are telling you they'll foot the bill, then why not?

    Starfield

    SimonBolivar replied to NoName's topic in Video Games

    I'm doing my best to read absolutely nothing and just waiting for the official release on Wednesday but damn it's hard to do knowing for less than $100 I could be playing right now. (Fallout 3/NV/4 are my GOAT along with Outer Wilds)

    Here's SMU's schedule difference between AAC and ACC and you can see why, if the donors had the money, it was an easy choice to move even with the future of the conference being uncertain and your closest opponent being pretty far away. 2023: LaTech @ Oklahoma Prairie View A&M @ TCU Charlotte @ East Carolina @ Temple Tulsa @ Rice North Texas @ Memphis Navy 2024 Schedule (ACC portion is hypothetical): Houston Christian @ Vanderbilt TCU Stanford @ Cal FSU @ Georgia Tech Louisville @ NCST Syracuse @ Virginia Tech Wake Forest

    Happy for SMU in all this and I'm looking forward to seeing how they do bringing ACC teams to the Hilltop.

    As someone that gets violently seasick, suicide sounds like a better option to me.

    This isn't the Spanish thread, but I was reading El Mundo today when I came across the translation of Saint Petersburg and it's now my favorite, San Petersburgo. My grandfather was a general contractor before he passed and that's the exact type of word he would make up when not knowing the official Spanish word for something.

    Already downloaded on the Xbox for the regular release not the special edition.

    Diaby has been one hell of a signing. Also playing Everton, Hibs, and Burnley sure is good for confidence.

    Ya LaTech is a lost cause this year.
