  1. Another Rec for Rebels. Clone Wars is good too, with the exception of a handful of episodes, but it is a pretty sprawling story that has so much going on that it feels like more of a slog at times. Rebels is pretty tight story wise and looking back after you finish the series it doesn't really feel like any episodes were wasted.
  2. Anybody who starts a thread about a Twitter thread and only posts the first tweet should be banned.
  3. Blaster beams aren't lasers, brah.
  4. If global thermonuclear war erupts before the governments admits it has recovered alien spacecraft parts in the hearings on the 26th I'm gonna be pissed!
  5. What kind of person do you have to be to respond like that? If what @BearSchlongsaid is accurate, the grandfather thought he had emptied his weapon (1) and then placed it out of reach (2). Now, our standards now for securing a gun are more stringent than that, but what he did was probably extra careful for his generation. But you don't miss a beat and go out and lump him in with a group of traitors who wished to subvert the very fabric that holds our country together?
  6. I just leave them on all the time as I prefer it. My ADD makes it hard for my brain to focus on what is being said with all the background noise in movies and TV nowadays, so having the titles on helps me keep up with what is going on.
  7. Rapinoe rocking the Chilli Bowl.
  8. Oh, so she didn't forget her cards?
  9. At first I thought Vietnam was just kind of clumsy, but they are straight playing dirty.
  10. Yeah, that was deserved. The first half was pretty slow, but it turned out to be a pretty good match.
  11. Nigeria is getting pretty scrappy.
  12. How do the Surly music experts feel about this cover?
  13. If this takes down Dan Patrick the Democrats are gonna be pissed that they could have KO'd him all this time with just a $3 million donation from the right PAC.
  14. Are there a lot of courthouses in Tennessee where lynchings haven't taken place?
  15. I was born in '85, and I don't remember the word queer being used that much as a serious derogatory term. Yeah, we played smear the queer, but it was always a word that didn't really make sense to me as a derogatory term. If we wanted to call someone gay in derogatory way we said faggot. Queer was a word that old people used if they wanted to say something hurtful. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but it just felt off if somebody tried to use it with venom.
  16. I think you missed the part where they are all used the way retarded is now, and retarded was meant to be a non-offensive way to refer to those people. Now thise words are no longer associated with mentally disabled people and are just insults. If the word retarded follows that same path, it will lose the current connotations it has, and we will have to explain to our kids that special didn't always mean that.
  17. So, if you want to use the word retard, you might be able to just wait a few years, as words like idiot, moron, and imbecile aren't really considered particularly offensive anymore. Just be careful using the words handicapped and disabled, as they are clearly on borrowed time.
  18. Which is also why we can still call people dumb.
  19. Well if they keep putting the same tire back on that could be part of the problem.
  20. Do you get offended when people reply in incomplete sentences?
  21. of·fend /əˈfend/ verb 1. cause to feel upset, annoyed, or resentful.
  22. People are still buying Tecovas?
  23. Um, excuse me, but Roadhouse and Red Dawn were both made in the 80's. Point Break came shortly after. And let's not forget about Predator, Rambo, Die Hard, or even those forgotten treasures like The Outsiders.
