i don't 100% know, because i'm not her, but i would imagine that using extremely disingenuous dad RAWR arguments like "i don't want dudes destroying my daughter in sports RAWR" is near the top of the list. also near the top is pretending if you don't use a slur, you aren't offending people with your opinion. what part of "the trans issue" do you disagree with? can you at least let us in on what "the trans issue" is in your world? because in my world, it's nothing at all. just like you having the hiccups or someone needing to burp. it just is. it's not an issue. it doesn't need to be an issue. i feel like you are coming at it like someone else is making this an issue. why do you think that?

yeah, so it's the fact that you seem to imply that only the language you use is offensive that is the problem you are having here. you know it's possible to be offensive to people without calling them names, right? you're going to have to do some real work to onvince me this isn't some hateful troll job, hoenstly, because i'm struggling to not ban you for 60 days this next time. convince me you are a real person who really believes these things.

and they were very angry. and hungry, but mostly angry. i'm going to compare this movie experience to when you were 15 or something and you were dropped off at the movie theater meeting friends, and you had an idea of what you wanted to see, but you weren't sure and oh shit that's sold out, ok, let's see the dinosaur movie even tough i don't know anything about it, oh it's got adam driver, interesting, and by the end, there are all kinds of problems with the movie, it wasn't really that good, but you were out with your family and both teenage sons at the same time at alamo drafthouse and you are weirdly okay with them actively whispering to each other and laughing at the movie and you suddenly realize you are 45 and can still have fun at a shit movie. so that's how this movie is.

which, i mean, let the, uh, first among us cast, uh..yeah. this houston takeover has always been the republican endgame. i'm not surprised that the democrats haven't seen it even though everyone seems to have been yelling it forever. isolate and control local school boards and city councils, etc. grass roots the fuck out of this. use bigger bully pulpits to advance smaller local agendas in line with nationalist party rhetoric. i think the republicans are going to fuck this up because they rushed and went at the king (houston isd, really? only reason they couldn't go after austin was recapture, i guess), but this has always, always been the goal with public school. look no further than the state school officials and how the textbook circus goes. it's a clusterfuck, by design. republicans seem to have the philosophy that only they can fix what only they can tear down. but then they fix fuckall and leave the rest of us holding the bag. fuckers.

one hell of a light show on the travis hays county line. not sure i have ever seen anything like it. just one massive thunderhead with a number of smaller ones with lightning jumping between them. continuous but distant thunder. incredible

lol right? I'm over name hires. fuck it. we got a guy. hire this man.

I'll watch this later but I'll argue that the last of us was a real story wedged into a video game more than a show adapted from a video game.

oh hey guys, what's up

yeah, it does bring in a whole consent angle. "well, we're pretty sure she would do it, so we're doing it" isn't exactly a moral revelation. i mean, yeah, she might well have done it, and she basically had resigned herself to the end of the journey being the end of her life potentially. that's what the whole hangdog thing was about (in the game it's really disconcerting, because she's so irrepressible the whole time), but they basically snat5ched her up, figured out who she was, drugged her and prepped her for surgery. bingo bango, let's go, she'd do it, so let's not ask her.

nah grimes got him on that meth pipe and he hasn't looked back

it's actually worse (better?) in the game. you spend the whole game wading through blood of hunters, zombies, etc to get her to that point. then they (make you?) really unleash joel. there are hints throughout the game of what joel is capable of doing. he has a whole sordid survival history we aren't fully privy to but we know he's done some bad shit. in fact, tess frames this as his redemption. which it might be but he does some bad shit to get there. the game really holds up a mirror though. you kill the entire game sometimes in really monstrous ways but only at the end with joel's rampage does it suddenly feel gross. no spoilers but as joel you kind of have to shoot the doctor but you don't have to shoot the nurses. i shot the nurses because i was in for a penny but yeah. and then joel lying about it. twice. and the okay at the end. so great. also thought the pacing was perfect. your last real boss in the game is that fucking psycho cannibal. everything after that is denouement even your rampage in the hospital and the giraffes and all that.

think this dude might be on drugs

nah, they got wetlands and national oversight and shit. florida people are trash, don't get me wrong, but they do seem to care about their wretched swamps.

harry carey was my father's spirit animal. they were like best friends. they would get drunk together nearly every afternoon and watch the cubbies.

ha was traveling last week in Barcelona in the Gothic quarter with a colleague. he's mostly strict halal, so we wander around and find a cool looking place. we go in and he looks at me says "sorry too many white people" and we ended up eating at a place with hookahs. goddamn that place was fucking great.

he's all they got and we are all lucky to have him.

i'm not even an employment lawyer, much less a lawyer of any kind, and i had a for real pavlovian response to the idea of suing elon based on this twitter exchange. hoisted by your own petard indeed.

reading this thread has been interesting. i'm about as pinche gringo as one can get, but i've been fortunate enough to travel all over the world, and i tend to be drawn to sketchy ass areas in general because they are more interesting. i stay in whitechapel area in london. i don't think that's a big deal, but some people are shocked when they hear that. i like to think i know how to keep my head on a swivel, appear on guard enough to not be worth the trouble, etc. i'm a very experienced traveler. that said, i ain't traveling through mexico. in recent years, i've been to a 6 star resort there and felt safe enough walking through the local town, but i have no illusions as to why i felt safe. but yall gringoing your way across interior mexico these days are brave or comfortable or something else.

the game was released in 2013. i only recently played it, because i have kids and am very picky with video game time, and it was a fucking masterpiece of storytelling plus gameplay. the only other game experience i've ever had that was so good was maybe mass effect 2. but then that went and ruined everything with the original end of mass effect 3. but honestly, the game is so good, because you can play it on a stupid impossible level and have zombies all up in your shit everywhere, but it's really the down time in the game that makes it. ellie reading the puns, or just asking about things we just think about as normal. it's also the space in between the words. the show captures it perfectly. it's hard to nail down, but they just got it perfectly. also, that fucking psycho chasing you around the restaurant took me fucking forever, especially once he started ducking. how she kills him in the show is pretty much how you feel as a gamer. but everything, the grooming, the hand touch, the "oh," god it's all so fucking creepy. i could barely watch it in the game, and it was even harder in the show. my wife couldn't even.

yeah, deb got sideways with the owners - that happens, whatever. she's going to be hard to replace, but i'm sure you can give it a go. what i don't understand is this slavish need to do a music talk hybrid in the morning. if i want music, i can get music. if i want local content, i gotta wait through the fucking foo fighters my hero? get out of here. i'll listen to the podcast, thanks. i do not understand the business, as outlined earlier, but it's broken af. i wasn't a jason and deb guy, but they were local content which seems to be going away so we can hear some more pink fucking floyd.

yeah, but this guy is the elite. i guess we have mattress mack. i stand down.

this is my impression. he's not overly argumentative, but he does manage to fire back without sounding too petulant. i honestly thought he would've already broken by now. he's playing the part of "i'm a bad guy, i've done bad things, also addiction, but i didn't kill anyone" very well. i mean, as a neutral observer who hasn't followed this as closely as my wife, i think this guy is guilty af

also, prosecutor richard dreyfuss from what about bob is coming across as richard dreyfuss from what about bob or maybe richard dreyfuss in let it ride either way, it's not a great look.
