  1. you trying to tell me Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?!?
  2. as a family, we used to go to a church that we really liked. they did not preach hate, welcomed lgbtq community and were pretty much the polar opposite of the Jefress led downtown Baptist church in Dallas. we are still members, still donate a decent chunk of change to them every year, but we just don't go anymore. For me it's a complete lack of faith and really stems from shit i cannot wrap my head around. - Can God be active in our lives. I'm talking about direct divine intervention. God nudging a semi truck to the left to avoid an oncoming car. More to the point, God choosing to intervene. I cannot reconcile God choosing NOT to intervene when children are raped. Either there are no miracles, no divine intervention, no 'God has planned out your entire life' and we are left to the laws of probability and human misery to deal with shit on our own OR the alternative is frankly sickening in that God helps some people in some situations but allows such horror to be visited on the innocent. Yes, i get that we were kicked out the Garden and now bad shit happens because man sucks, but doesn't the concept of 'sometimes' miracles seem horrifying? So if there is no divine intervention we are left with God as the perfect clockmaker. Set the world in motion and then take a step back and let things play out. OK i guess we should be grateful and pay homage for being created, but the Bible directly contradicts that theory with tale after tale of God's vengeance, mercy, love and wrath. So back to square 1.
  3. his face does not work with the mask and chinstrap. cgi that shit to make it look non-scrunched up.
  4. Nice work! doing keto and just seeing the results first hand will change your outlook on food going forward whether you stay on keto or not. i did it for ~7 months to get down to actually below my target weight, then eased off keto and started adding things back in that I missed eating. But it sticks in your mind that eating stuff like hamburger buns, pasta, pastries, candy etc... 2x a day was the cause of all the weight gain to begin with. makes it easier to avoid and easier to look for alternatives and substitutes for those things. or just eat them way less often. i'm still hovering just under 220 (6'7'') about 1.5 years off keto; about 10lbs above my lowest weight.
  5. yeah, good on them for getting whatever they can. that said, just post signs that say Darwin is watching, do shit at your own risk and save all the scratch to buy an ocean-proof body collecting robot.
  6. all it take is 1/5 willful ignorance. 3/5 actual ignorance, 2/5 being a colossal piece of shit and a complete lack of understanding fractions.
  7. i saw the same thing on twitter, but digging through web shows some pictures of Nestor in cap/gown with 2020 as the grad year. Maybe he pulled an O'bannon and had 2 Sr years, but who knows.
  8. 'member the cereal that did not even have a box? just the sad plastic bag and product placement on the bottom shelf.
  9. State prisons too. thought i heard on the radio that prisons were getting a lot of doses now.
  10. Pigman : "A Bridge Too Far." Caine and Hackman in the same movie. This is my thesis man! This is my closing argument! I CAN STOP WATCHING TV!
  11. your ears are full of shit if that is what you are hearing from my post. there is no CR in my post at all, why invoke political BS here? abbott was too much of a pussy to handle the negative feels he got from the mah freedom crowd so he dumped that shit onto the shoulders of the Texas businesses. What a fucking hero he is. smh. but at least we are not talking about how he and his appointees fucked up the power grid much anymore or the push to take away employees rights to sue over C19 protocols their employer takes (or doesn't take). All i said was that in Dallas, not much seems to have changed despite the order. In other parts of Texas I am sure it's different. I am curious if any large retailers are saying no mask needed, come on in. There are a few places in Dallas like Eatily (sp?) that don't require masks. Some hate it, some like it. it's a restaurant so in-room dining has little to do with wearing a mask anyway. eat inside or don't, who GAF?
  12. What major businesses have waived mask mandates? my grocery store, the pool store, the liquor store, home depot etc.. are still requiring masks as i hit up all of those this weekend in Dallas. Yes, we are 'open' but anecdotally, not much has changed for me. kids are still required to wear one at school and they have not bitched about it one time this year despite doing this since Sept. the whole 'did masks do anything?' debate is just going to get further muddied in the public mind. Oh well, worry about that later. shit is looking up and and it's awesome to see the vax rolling in. not going to debbie downer this shit.
  13. what benefits are worth $125K? (First person to type 'French' gets stabbed) $5000 per month health insurance + $5000 per month pension/401K match? parking, free sunscreen, increased share of metal detector finds?
  14. yeah, i saw that too. about Luka being sick "are you hurt or are you injured?"
  15. they got the 80 - 84 and then forgot to score for about 7 minutes in the fourth. The refs were all kinds of pissy with them to start the 4th. Surprised Rick did not take an early exit. Bright side, no techs for Luka
  16. i don't have the finer details worked out yet, but give me 20 cubic meters of tannerite and we can make something happen maybe get the thing from Oceans 13(?) that dug the chunnel? definitely use this guy as captain next time
  17. damn, between this instacart hero and the victim in the other supermarket mass killing, these guy/gals should be getting combat pay.
  18. just got my pipes fixed. no real damage to the pumps, but the booster pump that runs the vac is squealing like something from Deliverance. Used to be mildly annoying, but now is pretty bad.
  19. is that a tattoo or neckical herp-aids?
  20. I think Ol' Freak Nasty got after her
  21. more of a '1 in the hand coil' kind of snake.
  22. we should probably see if the bears are reacting differently to vax'd women to be sure
