  1. I think I'm in. Was just checking the Instagram account yesterday, looks pretty cool.
  2. I was under the impression it was more than that. In fact I just heard about the guy walking in on her shower, the original story I'd heard was she told her mom about harassment (and/or sexual assault) from another superior. This is an incredibly fucked up story, and an incredible way for a soldier's country to fail them.
  3. Two positive reviews? Oh now I'm intrigued. I was going to try it eventually, but my eyebrows raised when y'all mentioned the jalapenos. I know Fast food pico isn't going to be spicy enough. Gotta try it this weekend.
  4. Dustin did his thing, gotta respect it. Felt like Hooker was out of the fight in the 4th and 5th. I was surprised they didn't remark on how he was scared to let his hands go. Compared to 1 and 2 when he had combos, body work, counter-punching.... He couldn't even throw a 1-2 without looking completely gassed in round 4. All takedown attempts. If it was boxing I would've guessed he broke a hand or something.
  5. Damn, this is true, but on the sunshine pumping note: Jamaal had Vince and Colt. D'Onta had ....... Swoopes and True freshman Shane?
  6. Welp, is what it is. I won't believe that he got beat out during COVID before the team has actually started practicing and while 13 players are quarantined, considering he started 6 games as a true sophomore. He was a high four-star and IIRC was at one point a 5-star talent and the top in Texas. By the end he was 2nd to Green. He's definitely a guy that should've panned out, but we've had plenty of luck finding high four-star guys that don't over the past decade. We'll keep the play-making guy from Lamar and hope that he continues to be stellar in the defensive backfield. I remember Cook's evaluations being basically that he was the high floor guy, whereas Green and Jamison had higher ceilings and more athleticism. Maybe that was spot on. If he goes to UH or somewhere closer to home then I'll believe the "personal issues" stuff a lot more. Not that it's really my business.
  7. I've listened to all their podcasts regularly at one point in time, and I think I'm the opposite of you. Schaub wore on me enough to where I realized he wasn't that funny (certainly not as much as Callen) and I didn't respect him much as a person. But I feel you on delia coming off as an asshole, until I saw him interact with Bobby Lee (another podcast favorite of mine) and some others. He is a super good friend it seems like. So I took to liking him. I know we joke around here and as men in general that 18 is all good (and 17 in some states!) But if you're a popular comedian using your semi-fame as a 30-32 year old picking up 16-18 year olds off Twitter and Instagram..... Sorry but you're a weird piece of shit and I'd rather not associate.
  8. I have full confidence that CDC will handle this well, because I actually believe that he cares about the issues. Not a great first reaction from Juwan though. He is known to be reactionary, so maybe he cools down after sleeping on it.
  9. If we stick to people that make dumb jokes about them being elite whites and having the only access to special munitions would that do something for ya? Not sure how you're expanding this example to "everyone that makes dumb jokes." Edit: OH, not to mention "cancel" culture is a bullshit snowflake issue. Fromm isn't being cancelled from shit. He'll still be making millions next year. Not to call you out specifically for this shit, but I'm tired of hearing it from comedians and celebrities when very few people actually get "cancelled".
  10. You're describing the Black Panthers. If you're wondering how the U.S. system would handle black people being armed, you can go back to this history. It's not unprecedented.
  11. I'm not suuuuper deep in the UFC game, but I've caught a LOT of fights over the past couple years, and I didn't really know shit outside of the main even of the last fight night (woodley). I'm looking forward to Sugar Sean and Sterling, Neil Magny impressed me with his last fight, and Nunes is the baddest woman on the planet. Or are y'all this critical of it bc it's PPV? I guess I can understand that, I'm not paying for it either way though.
  12. Definitely not as good as season 2, but it's also better. Also, you get way more answers, but also you get none. I think it's the 2nd best season. Its also a crazy fun ride, not so much like season 1.
  13. Why even bring starters up? These clowns say he wasn't good enough to be in the league in general. Mf'er I'm a Cowboys fan, gtfoh. Our backups were Kellen Moore and Brandon Weeden. I actually watched these guys play, you can't tell me he's worse than Kellen Moore and Brandon fucking Weeden. Gtttttfffff.
  14. Both and add in her skills as an actor.
  15. Are we seeing reports that they're destroying "their neighborhood"? I know that's a common trope and people get their panties in a bunch because a CVS got its windows smashed, but as of now it actually looks focused. And fuck them. They're going to pay millions in the civil suit anyway, tack on some more to pay for the damaged cars. I don't feel bad one bit for those protestors smashing windows of cop cars. You make noise and get the mayor to put on some fucking pressure.
  16. I'm one of the people who also consider it one of my personal favorites, if not favorite show ever. Season 2 is my favorite season of TV so far. I think I've found difficulty recommending it to people because a lot of people aren't down to dwell in darkness for extended periods of time. It will make you live around those feelings of despair and explore them a bit, but I found the payoff to be amazing. You gotta be willing to think about the story, there's no "answer" if that's what you're looking for. Oh, on TOS I posted some photos of happily stumbling upon them filming Season 3 in the middle of Lockhart. Awesome story/day. A friend and I made a day trip from Austin, doing the rounds, drinking beer and eating at a picnic table outside of Black's and wondering what the hell kind of festival is going on in downtown Lockhart. There's a bunch of camping tents out in the middle of the square, all on the street. Then I start to notice a bunch of hippie-looking people walking around the square. Which is when I noticed something else is up, because Lockhart doesn't strike me as the type of town where hippies would be invited to have a festival. So we wander over to the square and it took me a few minutes before I realized we're on the fucking set of what became the first episodes of Season 3. Theroux was in his Police uni across the street, and Carrie Coon's fine ass was walking with an assistant within arm's reach, right past me. Eventually somebody realized two Mexican bros looked out of place as fuck on the set and they shooed us off. The big floating Gary Busey was up at this point (and the man on the tower). Pretty cool.
  17. I just finished watching "Get Out" this weekend for the 2nd or 3rd time, hadn't seen it in over a year. That ending scene where he's choking his ex-gf (who'd just tried to finish him with a rifle) and she plays victim as the "cop lights" pull up........ what a slick commentary. And on the fuckin' nose. I often fear that the genius of little points like this that were included in the film by Jordan Peele were probably viewed as "unbelievable" or "heavy-handed" or hokey or whatever by some viewers. This is literally what the fuck we just saw in this video. They know god-damned well how to use their feminine whiteness.
  18. A family friend from the church I grew up going to (his family and my family were both very active, so our families were friends) wound up shooting a kid (probably younger than 21) after the kid showed up in their backyard one night after the family's teenage daughter broke up with him. Likely some semi-innocent teenage feelings that the kid couldn't process, but the dad took him for an intruder and shot before realizing who it was. Would see him at church after the incident, apparently he got off. A kid I played little league with in the valley, who lived down the street from me in rural RGV, was working Corpus some years ago (we were maybe mid-20s) and apparently got into an argument after dinging some assholes car while trying to park in a fuckin whataburger. The cholo/gangster/Corpus local was in the car with another dude or two, they came out, argued about a fucking dented car, cold-cocked the dude I knew, and he died at the hospital. Senseless.
  19. A hellscape. Multiple people on multiple pages of this thread have admitted to checking out a construction site before, but now not only is it unfathomable, but it speaks to rural america being a *hellscape* because people wander into construction sites to check out the progress and see what's going on. Let me add myself to the list, I walked across the street into one of the gentrification special homes here in East Austin a couple years ago with a neighbor. Walked around the home, walked upstairs, noted how the 3-floor plan looked and admired the outdoor deck at the main bedroom, came down and went back home. Sorry for contributing to making East Austin a hellscape. The rhetoric will continue to ramp up from "hey who cares people do it all the time" to "hey maybe it's not cool to do that" to "your neighborhood sounds like a hellscape if people have the audacity to walk onto property that's not theirs" to "black man need shotgun in his face for trespassing on property that's not mine nor the killer's". Just keep going, you're almost there!
  20. It's a vast state brother, and there's plenty of Mexican-Americans in it. I worked in an RGV high school the year that they hosted it in Edinburg. Schools from all over South Texas. San Antonio on down. Not to say there isn't some in the big cities as well.
  21. Don't judge too hard but I just discovered this album a few weeks ago. I think I went down a youtube hole with rock and just wound up googling the best Rock albums of the early 2000s (that I missed bc I was in middle school) and this popped up. Yeah I'm digging it. Never got into QOTSA but I think my newfound interest in TOOL led me here.
  22. And the construction site wasn't even theirs. And apparently their statement was that the construction site had been dormant for a while bc the owner was sick so they didn't think it'd be complete, or some shit like that. So what exactly were they protecting then?
  23. Took a hill country drive out to Willow City on Sunday. That was much needed. If the parks are closed there's still other ways to find some scenery. Great hill country views just outside Johnson City, full of blue bonnets and cliffs and hills and just general non-city shit.
  24. I'll vote for MJ (voted for her in the primary), but after Cruz beat Beto I have absolutely ZERO confidence that Cornyn's going anywhere. Beto had a shitload of momentum, seemingly tons of money pouring in, and was running against the Cuban-Canadian who let Trump talk shit about both his wife and father. Still he was voted back. Sorry but I have zero confidence the old white guy will get voted out in Texas. I felt that Cruz was reaching historic levels of unlikeability......... didn't make a shit. Don't get me wrong, I hate his smugness and I definitely think he's a POS politician, but this state is what it is.
