It's called a hat. Well, I'll have to take your word for it.

I feel like the show (and commentary in general) has really glossed over (not sure if we are still spoilering but doing it just in case)- Dedicated Stranger Things Series Thread
Ok but it would've been way less metal.- This Dude Has Been Killing Dogs
We can only hope.- Parasailing death seems like a horrible way to die.
Looks like the pilot did cut the line and they are investigating it as a crime. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mother-killed-kids-injured-after-parasail-line-cut-by-boats-captain_n_6298ebcde4b07aa938976b59?d_id=3758469&ref=bffbhuffpost&ncid_tag=fcbklnkushpmg00000063&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&utm_campaign=us_main&fbclid=IwAR27-CKWDZ2eRyaYPjKRbokGxQpKngoXkW5ABsxHnc5iLPCbbQUMUbvcAlI- Parasailing death seems like a horrible way to die.
This article looks like it's saying two different things, too. At first it says: "Snapped" makes it sound like an equipment failure. Then towards the bottom: "Cut" makes it sound deliberate. So which was it? I'm guessing the answer is that it snapped because it was cut. All this just confirms my decision to sit at the tiki bar and drink instead of going parasailing with the family when we're at the beach.- Parasailing death seems like a horrible way to die.
I'm sorry, I'm stuck on the fact that they cut the line. Am I missing some other definition of "cut the line", or is the actual procedure to send your parasailing clients to a horrible death when the winds get too strong? Or was the fact that they died after having the line cut an unusual occurrence?- Dedicated Stranger Things Series Thread
Re: Will- Dedicated Stranger Things Series Thread
I've actually really liked the longer episodes. The editing could be tighter, but they at least seem to be answering questions as they introduce new ones, and it doesn't feel rushed. A few thoughts:- [Discussion] Mass Shooting at Uvalde Elementary School
Took me a few minutes to realize that that post wasn't a joke. It really is crazy how far the Abbotts and Patricks and Cruzes and their ilk will bend over backwards to claim that mass shootings have nothing to do with gun control, and refuse out-of-hand to even have a real conversation about it with anyone who disagrees with their policies. If I have a pond, and my fish keep dying, at some point I have to stop trying to treat individual fish and acknowledge that there's something in the water.- You know, there are people in this world that don't have to put up with all this shit.

Basically the same trajectory as the Harry Potter cast.- Dedicated Stranger Things Series Thread
And we are to believe that that smokeshow is in middle school. Maybe we're up to 9th grade, but still.- Dedicated Stranger Things Series Thread
- researchers figure out why infants die from SIDS
I mentioned this on Shaggy back in the day, but my best friend's daughter died of SIDS in 2009, at 7 weeks old. She was at work and her husband found the baby when he went to see why her nap was longer than usual. To this day my friend (J) will say that she thinks she gave the baby mono, which J was diagnosed with shortly after the baby died, even though they couldn't find anything wrong during the autopsy. It was obvious to everyone that she just needed something concrete to blame, and it was easier to blame herself than anyone else. She and her husband didn't want to get pregnant again, and several years later they adopted a child to accompany their older daughter, who was 2 when the baby died. Anyway, maybe this news will help ease her mind, as much as anyone's mind could be eased in this situation.- Surly parents worried about their kids being attacked- megathread
Were I a high school senior today, I don't know that I would choose or eliminate a college specifically because of access to abortion, but I would certainly correlate that access to the general attitude toward women in that state, and wonder how seriously I'd be taken if I were to be assaulted, especially if that assault resulted in a pregnancy. It would be a hard enough situation without being in a state where, for example, there are legislators who think women who have abortions should be charged with assault or homicide, which could lead to the death penalty. And those are all considerations I would've thought about before we got to where we are now, with Roe about to be overturned. It's bad enough to worry about being attacked; it's a whole other level of awful to think of what the aftermath could be like in a state where I couldn't make medical decisions about my own body.- Surly parents worried about their kids being attacked- megathread
Y'all realize that women are raped when someone decides to rape them, and it has nothing to do with "being good", right?- The Golden Triangle Thread of Dominance
I graduated in 1999 - Dustin Long was a year behind me in school, so this was my freshman year at UT. Me and the guy I was dating at the time met my parents at Kyle Field for the semifinal that year. It was so exciting. PNG had gradually gotten better in their division since I'd been there, and even though they lost to Stephenville that year in the final, it was a great game.- The Golden Triangle Thread of Dominance
Ah, right - so I didn't make it up. And I do remember that gator story now that you mention it.- The Golden Triangle Thread of Dominance
I was gonna suggest Esther's in Groves, but Sartin's seems more likely - Esther's was the fancy place everyone went to for special occasions, when the mid-county folks didn't want to drive to Beaumont. However, there was some place on the bayou, maybe in Orange, that everyone went to and for the love of God its name is on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember it. I swear that they would let you catch your own crabs and then they'd cook them for you, but now that I type it out it sounds ridiculous.- Severance (Apple TV)
Yeah, but we did get a of the big questions answered - who was Helly's bitch outie, why was Irv always falling alseep, Mark and Mrs Cobel meeing outside as he is an innie to her outtie. And of course, Gemma! It could've been worse but I'm happy with what we got.- Severance (Apple TV)
