    Came here to post her too, fuck she looks young in this video. I discovered her a few months ago in a contemporary setting: Most beautiful song I heard last year. Period.

    About as much closure and "hope" we can get from this show. Earn needed that. There was a lot of showcase acting in that episode and everybody did well. Al on the plane was pretty damn solid, Darius getting "serious" and focusing at that Jewish spot, Earn baring himself for Darius, all good shit.

    I can agree with most of this view. Part of me doesn't agree that common sense hasn't been honed over 200,000 years though. If Black people are walking in and out of the front door with luggage while wearing a sun hat and lounging clothes and packing up their personal vehicle, I'd mind my own business, because that's not how robberies usually work. But I get your point in general, about general situations though.

    I, for one, am pro-thread on this subject. I welcome the discussion around people being afraid of people of other races and feeling that they need cops to protect them from them. I don't expect any societal change whatsoever to come from this thread, but given how society (aside from college campuses) is prone to deflect conversations like this because it makes them feel uncomfortable, I think this is a good place for it. I suppose this thread has about the same purpose as any other thread on SurlyHorns or its predecessors, to discuss a topic that you normally wouldn't have someone else to discuss it with at this particular moment, so you come here to do it.

    This is partially why I'm picking Warriors in 6. Because they run an offense and are healthy now. The Jazz may have had a "great" defense but ran a Shaka Smart offense. Pass the ball around the perimeter until somebody gathered enough courage to take their man one-on-one. And then if you miss watch Gobert follow up soft or get boxed out repeatedly. Draymond ain't playing that soft shit, and the Rockets will actually have to defend a whole floor. We'll see...

    Loma vs. Linares this weekend. They're really pushing Linares as a threat to Loma, personally I don't think anybody within a couple of divisions can challenge him except Mikey. Linares has fast hands and looks pretty athletic in the ring but has been in some firefights with B+ level fighters in England. Loma is no B+ fighter.

    Many HBO shows here, but as much as I love The Wire, only a couple of versions were good, would've rather skipped the intro many times. The Sopranos, The Leftovers S2, Game of Thrones, all of them solid. Sanford & Son I'll never forget, but otherwise damn y'all are old. Bc nobody likes the 90s.... and this song gets stuck in my head every few months...

    Cinco de Mayo

    BurdineBandit replied to tfoolry's topic in Lulz

    Lmao. Surly has evolved to Vic jokes en espanol. I like it.

    Not to mention, with all this talk of hesitance to give him the Super Max with his history of injuries, is Jordan willing to spend that kind of money on a guy who we aren't sure will play for the majority of his next contract? Wouldn't they take that into account too?

    I was wondering what the hate for this kid was about. Had never seen him fight. He looked to have fast hands and be pretty conventional, ala Mikey Garcia, nothing too flashy nor devastating power. His post-fight interview was pretty normal too, aside from calling out Tank, who he's 2 or 3 years away from fighting.

    Fuckin' roasting was a legit extracurricular activity in Houston too. Somebody told me I looked like Sabonis when I played basketball in middle school and I never lived it down. In all seriousness that one bystander that stays quiet is important. It always stuck out to me the few times somebody in the group (especially somebody with clout) would step in and redirect bc the target was taking it too harshly. More people gotta raise kids like that. Interesting topic to make an episode about.

    I thought I was gonna be the same way, but my basketball fandom came back. LeBron is playing too damn well to pass up, he's really staking his claim as the clear-cut #2 in history. Watching the Rockets inch closer and closer to collapse is also riveting enough for me to pay attention. Plus Joe Ingles is a cheeky bastard and I can't get enough of him.

    It really is funny. It's like if someone asked about the benefits of moving to Austin and everybody started saying how great it can be and how much it has changed for the better but then a conversation about living in Kyle actually broke out.

    Because I trust our front office to turn an actual Top 10 pick into a star. We haven't had one of those in decades. But I also wonder about the market, if I have the market wrong then of course you go get multiple first-rounders, multiple all-stars and ownership stakes in another franchise, but it was only a month ago that "rumors" were having it that the market for Kawhi wasn't as strong as you would think (for a Top 3 guy). If we can get Tatum or Brown from the Celtics, of course I want that, but not if they don't come with a lottery pick. I'd rather take Saric and draft our own lottery guy. The overall value to me would be higher.
  16. BurdineBandit
    Saric and a 1st-rounder (Lottery only) would work for me. Throw in whoever and get Pau off the books. Saric is a guy who would thrive in our system with his IQ and well-rounded game. Shit get Belinelli back here too.

    It's been a stickler point for me since I grew up inside the 610 loop, but the answer seems to be the same to both "should I live in Houston" and "should I live in San Antonio", it seems like a NO if you respond "sure, move to The Woodlands, quick!" or "sure, move to Blanco!" My mom lived in Blanco for years, and that's even less like San Antonio than the Woodlands is to Houston. Blanco is a hill country town out in the brush, San Antonio is a city.

    Vinyl

    BurdineBandit replied to CooterBrown's topic in Music

    Think I might do this, if only for the Clipse - Lord Willin' release. Great Southern Hip-Hop debut. Got into vinyl about a year ago and have about 15-20 sitting at home with my little setup. I still enjoy the physical manifestation of albums/artwork/booklets. I'm too old to be putting up posters n shit but getting handed down my dad's The Beatles (white album) with the poster inside and then finding a Fleetwood Mac 'Rumours' with a poster/booklet inside was pretty cool. Makes me feel like a kid opening the CD case to read the lyric booklet.

    It's not as easy as it seems, and there aren't. San Antonio suffers a bit from the Hispanic culture just like the Valley does, I lived in the Valley at 23-24 and it was terrible. Everybody seemed to be married or with kids, at that young ass age. Moved myself back to Austin and it's a 180. San Antonio is much more like the RGV than Austin, although it is slowly changing so I hear (gentrification, etc.). I have a friend that was just telling me how much she misses San Antonio "hip bars", especially off of St. Mary's (rd, ave, st. whatever), but she also just moved back to Austin bc there's shit to do in SA, so there's some cognitive dissonance there.

    So we're going there huh? Weed doesn't replace purpose in life, because there is no purpose in life. When you "find" your purpose in life it's still you rationalizing your time on this earth and how you choose to spend it. We all are born, exist, and then die. The purpose you claim for yourself won't stop this cycle, it'll just make you feel better for having endured it. Holton Hill. There I'm on subject.

    Kawhi ain't talking about shit. "Sources" and unnamed "League execs" are talkin bout practice. It's bullshit.

    His daddy needs to worry about his DWI. If his daddy's a dipshit and raised a dipshit, then the Browns deserve exactly what's coming to them after drafting two dipshits from dipshit families.

    We're staying at a hostel in Roma. I'm a single dude just trying to see something new on the cheap. Apparently the tacos and bars are right out the front door though so that's as convenient as can be for post-museum/site evenings.
