    The only thing that really bugged me about this movie was Han giving up the space fuel for nothing and without a fight. I didn't see any reason for him to give it all away for a rebel effort that was in its infancy and wasn't well known. His character seems like the type that would try to pull a bait and switch to steal it all, or at least negotiate to keep some of it. He just kind of rolled over and was like "sure, take the stuff worth millions of space bucks, you need it more than me." Maybe it's a setup for another plot twist in a future film that makes him more jaded, but in this film it wasn't very Han-like.
     

    i think it's because he hasn't had the optimism beaten out of him. remember, he says "i have a really good feeling about this"

    The eagle symbol Xhaka and Shaqiri did after scoring represents the Albanian flag..both these guys families fled Albania/Kosovo from the Serbs during the Yugoslav War...Xhakas father was imprisoned for 3 years for protesting. It was personal for those guys.

    this is a very cool story, bro. thanks for that.

    You mean El Pollo Loco? My wife loves that place.

    I love how this thread has turned into a mostly civilized conversation around chicken. Maybe it’s the unifying topic for 2020. 

    that place is also pretty legit.

    when i lived in japan, there was a temple shopping district where there was a brazilian rotisserie chicken place. goddamn, that was a hangover cure. eating off a whole chicken with chopsticks and chimichurri.

    Mistakes are inevitable in any human endeavor.  The navel-gazing and handwringing about it is unwarranted.  Oh noes there was one mistake and now Trump will think he's right!  Woe is me!   Fuck him and his absurd self-serving standard for everyone else.  There's a big distinction between corrected mistakes and his constant intentional lies.   Media doesn't need to be perfect and can't be perfect.  They fucked up on the caption and fixed it.   The cover stands on its own despite the correction.  And Time is just one outlet.  Big fucking deal.

    How were they supposed to know where that kid was?  

    It's a cover.  Not a factual statement.  

    yall, it's about the time story about the original picture! it's not about the cover itself!

    The trump supporters are intellectually dishonest. TIME corrects when it’s wrong, at least. This administration does not. 

    Again, is anyone really refuting that thousands of migrant children have been forcibly separated from their parents?

    actually, yes there is a ton of intellectual dishonesty or cognitive dissonance going on. people say "but obama started putting kids in detention centers!" with an outrage they don't transfer to the current act of putting kids in detention centers. nevermind that skirts the issue of the policy change from unaccompanied minors to all minors of parents arrested, and of course we are going to arrest them all. it's fucking maddening.

    but my point here is that time misreported about this very issue that is being intentionally misrepresented. they have to be better.

    It's not about truth or falsity or sensationalization.  It's about the presentation of information in an  interesting and informative way.    Your standard would leave no room for editorial cartoons or anything beyond a dry recitation of facts.  Talk about playing into Trump's hands. 

    that correction tweet is not about the cover. it's about the original story going along with the picture, that stated she was carried away, kicking and screaming, not reunited with her mother and them both being put in a van.

    the trump supporters already cry fake news in the face of reality. no reason to help them legitimize that belief. that's a pretty big fucking unforced error by time.

    Correction: The original version of this story misstated what happened to the girl in the photo after she taken from the scene. The girl was not carried away screaming by U.S. Border Patrol agents; her mother picked her up and the two were taken away together.

    I hear you, but then there are plenty of times I get stuck behind some slow fuck and finally get around them, on;ly to0 get stuck at a light that turns red just afterward. Then they give me some shitty look, when I woulda made that light easily had I not been stuck behind their slow ass. No excuse for tailgating though, for sure.

    well, i'll go as fast as traffic allows. westgate lane at 5:30 is not going to be a fast travel road. we're all probably stopping at a couple of lights. there's probably not a lot of space between me and the car in front of me, but i won't tailgate him so you can feel alright about being behind me. i'm going 38 in a 35, and there's no where else to go, man. (that's the royal you, you know, the editorial)

    Avenatti is kind of the poster boy for those that have temporarily (hopefully) lost their minds because of trump.  He is everything that most people on here claim they hate:

    1) He lies constantly

    2) He is financially corrupt including 1) bankrupting the coffee chain he owned and then lied that he owned, 2) failed to pay millions in taxes on the the chain, 3) hired lawyers to help resolve the issue and then stiffed them on their bills and they sued him, 4) failed to honor an agreement with a former law partner that sued him and that he settled with and then failed to honor the settlement 5) failed to pay his personal income taxes, 6) withheld payroll taxes from employees but never sent them to the IRS resulting in a $900K  lien against his personal property, 7) recently filed for bankruptcy for his current law firm, 😎 lied to the court, and admitted it, to try and get additional money from a judgement he won for his clients even though he had already been paid his entire fee

    3) Recently tried to get wealthy dems to fund his attack on trump but was turned down

    4) Is twice divorced and both wives claimed abuse in court proceedings but later denied them after the settlements

    5) Bought a house and reneged on the terms and had to be forcibly evicted by the owner and is being sued

    All that from just a few minutes of searching.  He is a total slime ball.  He lies about everything he is involved with and owes millions to creditors and the IRS and his ex partners and wives.

    Again, he represents everything people on here say they hate.  But he went after trump so he is a star apparently.  

    He claims to be handling the recent immigration cases pro bono but I bet he makes some sort of claim for payment.  Might even be a go fund me or similar type situation.

     

     

    lulz, pretty much every bullet point applies to our president.

    I’m a fan.  He needs to stick with issues relevant to his client’s case, not dive into immigration issues, etc.

    my understanding is that he's got clients who have had their kids taken away. 

  10. remember when you used to see plastic bags littered everywhere? you probably don't, but get ready to see it again. when i travel outside of austin and see all the plastic bags everywhere, i am thankful for the bag ban.

    and let's all laugh again at texas republicans for local control. except when they are against it.
