  1. This is stupid and you should feel like a moron for even thinking this and associating people who are with TFG. You have zero idea what autism is or what it looks like.
  2. Well yeah I’d prefer that, but FIFA is run by Trump adjacent grifters. The only way this gets cancelled is the two biggest confederations of UEFA and CONMEBOL refusing to show up and instead having their own competition. Again as likely to happen as my scenario, but one can hope.
  3. I want the US to make it out of the group stage and have to play Brazil and get beat 7-0 . Bowing out to an African nation would also be acceptable. I want Mexico to win the whole thing. When they do I want them to have a 100 piece Mariachi band on stage with them playing their national anthem and I want the trophy presented first to Vicente Fox. Then I want Vicente to cuss out TFG like he’s done on several occasions. Granted TFG won’t be anywhere near that stage or game, but Vicente will still bring the thunder. I want all the Mexicans in the stands in unison to cuss out TFG in a nice heart-warming chant. That would be the perfect World Cup.
  4. If you live through to the end of this bout with fascism you'll get your shot to do so. That 2011 Ghadafi scene might wind up playing out in the US with some of the more well-known traitors I think.
  5. They’re all floating downstream right now.
  6. Called my mom to see how they were doing. They never get flooded where she lives because the house is on the high ground just outside of Lampasas on CR 1020. However, she did say that the electricity has been out since 2:30 this morning. Pedernales is usually faster about getting it restored so they must be having some bigger issues right now. I’m honestly surprised Lampasas doesn’t have more flood issues since the town is bowl shaped. That it has been almost 70 years since the big flood in 1957 seems like they are overdue for a big one.
  7. The last time I remember Lampasas getting rain like this I was maybe 10 or so and the road by our house on CR1020 that took us into town went from a small creek to a river-sized body of water that was about 150 yards across at least. Never forget seeing all that water go up so quickly.
  8. Yeah Lampasas got a whole bunch of rain. It flooded Sulphur Creek and the annual Spring Ho festival. They put a bunch of booths at the park and I saw some pictures of the water. Probably damaged a lot of stuff for vendors that left their things out overnight.
  9. If they ever want to do a movie just on Mr. Terrific, I am in for that. To echo others, he was awesome. That part was scripted really well, and the acting was top notch.
  10. He's white so he's alright. A good illegal. Many people are calling him the best illegal.
  11. He’s just so awkward looking, but I guess I would be as well if I was that height and that thin. I do hope he stays healthy. I still believe what will keep him away from anymore serious injuries will be advances in science that can help guys like himself and Wemby overcome all of the catastrophic injuries that players that height seem to suffer. The human body is just not meant to play sports like basketball at that height, but I do hope he has a long career even if his fanbase is made up partly of dirt burglars and Bob Stoops fans.
  12. These people are infuriating. Take pictures of all of these vehicles that put the flags in them that readily identify them as racist morons. Save the pictures and then when we overcome this clown car level fascism it’ll be time to get some of these idiots thrown in jail for supporting a traitorous regime that is attempting to dismantle the entire country.
  13. Reading this is why I will go back to see it in 3D. The best feeling I have at the end of a movie is walking out smiling and feeling at peace. This one really struck a good chord with me personally. Those are the best kind of movies.
  14. As a kid I did not take to Superhero movies. We did not have a theatre to go to so everything was VHS. It was something about the kryptonite and what it did to Superman that I didn’t like. I had nothing really against the movies, but that one thing bothered me for whatever reason. I really didn’t watch any superhero movies as a child. If I watched anything I wanted to see movies that were based in factual events and history. Guess that should’ve been a clue for me as to how life would go for me. I loved this movie though and how they portrayed the kryptonite. Just a wonderful movie that I want to go back and see in 3D.
  15. I think it would be awesome if 2K26 let her morph into a grizzly bear anytime she goes on a mebounding spree in the game.
  16. Yeah that makes no sense to me either. He’s a father that loves and misses his son. The thinking that men cannot be emotional like that is silly. I loved this Superman. It’s the first time I ever enjoyed a Superman movie. More emotion from the men in the movie is a welcome development. Also you’re right. This version of Superman, and the movie overall, really captured on screen the hellscape that we are seeing in the real world. Credit to Gunn for that and a great movie overall.
  17. If for no other reason than he really, really does not like dogs.
  18. I have to use Regal out here because there is no alternative like AMC or Alamo for movies. The 30 minutes of previews are standard for them. I always show up around 25 minutes into the previews. This is definitely a movie I would NOT want to see in 4DX. I really like that kind of film, but not this one because I figured it would be a ton of seat shaking. I just watched it in RPX and it was fine. I just got in from this one and I still feel really good about having seen it. Some good life lessons in the film for anyone paying attention to things like that.
  19. As a kid I never liked the Superman movies. I was talking to my mom this evening about this and she never realized I didn't enjoy them because I never said anything. I really, really enjoyed this one though. Krypto was awesome. Having a Superdog made the movie for me. I had zero expectations going in, but I left the movie smiling. It seems like the goal of the movie was to show someone doing good deeds for no other reason than because they want to and that is who they are. I loved that aspect and can't wait for the next Superman movie.
  20. What this reminds me of is when you run across fans of some obscure band that wound up going mainstream. They got millions of new fans because more people were exposed to this cool music, but the original fans look at these new fans of the band, as well as the band itself, of being sellouts. I am going to watch because of Clark and if I can catch Bueckers when she has nationally televised games. Luckily I work with a woman who was a baller back in Palau and she represented her country on the court. We talk about a lot of players and she opens me up to the ones she really likes which is pretty cool. Clark is still why I watch, but knowing more from someone that played ball and loves the WNBA is cool.
  21. Really shows off the ball handling skills here. Make sure her open court awareness is set to zero. That was three double dribbles in possession. Jesus tap dancing Christ I would hide her from any exposure to young hoopers looking to emulate someone’s game.
  22. You know missing layups for you or I is whatever. Everyone that ever played basketball has missed them. However, NO ONE IS PAYING US TO REPEATEDLY MISS THEM. I mean how does her coach watch her make shooting a basketball look like she’s coming out of the trenches at the Battle of the Somme? It’s embarrassing for her and anyone that coached her that she cannot make the bunnies.
  23. If they’re going to do this they have to do it right. I want to see all of her creative ways to miss layups included in her arsenal.
  24. This cover seems, well, I don’t know what to make of it. Melo because of the memories of a volume shooter that never came close to winning an NBA title? SGA who does not seem to be all that well liked by anyone outside of Oklahoma? Reese instead of the reason millions more people watch the WNBA in Clark? I do not get this, but I also haven’t played an NBA video game in at least 15 years or more. Maybe their internal surveys said this would be a good cover I guess.
