    Is this the meta-Disney thread? I'm going to be in Orlando in August at a conference, staying at the Disney Carribbean Resort and thinking of bringing family along and taking off a few days extra and maybe doing something Disney-ish. Questions: 1) I assume a Disney resort like this one (6 pools, waterslides, shopping, etc.) is enough to keep the family busy for a day or two while I am working? 2) Is Epcot or something like that a better alternative than actual Disney Disney? My kids are older and probably not into the whole thing. For example, they'd prefer Universal Studios to Disneyland in Anaheim.

    Ugh. I feel horrible for the idiot Hays' kids.

    Agree with you 100%, especially your penultimate sentence. Which is why a lesson I've learned in life is Don't eat anywhere with a Drive-thru unless it's Chick-Fil-A.

    I spent an interesting 8 days in London at the end of June and one thing I learned from talking to the people I met (random people at the hotel, bars and uber drivers so take that demographic/sample size into consideration) was that Brexit is cool and good and also, surprisingly, that they want to get rid of the royal family business. They think why is a ceremonial and powerless family getting all these cool concessions and tax-free living the good life for no reason when they aren't even the power. Just for tradition? Bullocks.

    Traveling to Memphis for work so I thought I'd watch "If Beale St. Could talk" and wow, what a film. Beautiful. Moving. Sad. Strong. I enjoyed it as much as any movie I've seen in 2019 I think...except for John Wick 3, because, I mean, come on.

    For you "My wallet is ready"er's....what exactly are you contemplating spending? $30 on tickets and some gas to the movie theatre?

    There are semi-nice hotels I've stayed at in Austin that are near the homeless facility and that area gets positively unwalk-able when the sun starts going down.

    Counterpoint: If you are ordering food for 2 or more, from anywhere not named Chick-Fil-A, there is an 80% that something, somewhere in your order is wrong. The lesson here really is that you shouldn't eat anywhere that has a drive-thru unless it's Chick-Fil-A. *Edit to add sacrilege, I include Whataburger in that too. Always screwing up in the drive-thru. And another thing I've actively witnessed and think is super unfortunate, the quality of worker and customer service has gone to McDonald's level the last few years.

    Kamala is toast now that the TSwift nation is against her due to her fraternizing with the enemy Scooter Braun. #2019 #PeakGenZ

    Fair point. I thought this excerpt was interesting, given that the story seems to be a "hindsight is 20/20" regret-piece (if not justification piece), given how much more horrible behavior has been normalized since:

    "First off, as far as Tweeden is concerned, she made her place in the world being a sex symbol (playboy, hooters, etc.). So her making a big deal out of this is pretty lame and doesn't hold much water." You can't say things like that, according to the feminists in the article. Also those saying "just because it feels to you [the victim or "victim"] like assault doesn't mean it is, it could just be grossly inappropriate humor" also don't seem to understand that there are some schools of feminist and new age thought that, actually, if you identify it as such as the victim, it absolutely is assault. The article also speaks to a few propononets who think that way and still stand by the resignation. This is one of those very sticky situations where it could have really gone either way. It sounds to me like it was a lot of dumb luck that sunk him, though.

    I have some very smart friends who can't or won't believe this, it's crazy to me how blind some people are.

    So if he's Deadman Walking 2.0 after Beto in a few months, you do think he will fight another war of attrition and try and outlast the seige, Victory or Death with God looking down upon him and he found 60 beaves-style?

    So any predictions when Bernie drops out?

    I'm really surprised at how many homeless people are in Nashville. It rivals anything I've seen in Austin.

    Don't forget Ben Affleck. Daniel Craig was awesome as Bond. Maybe cooler than Connery. I said it.

    I've always heard the low dose aspirin daily thing as well but recently was told that it's better not to take aspirin-- I think the thinking is being changed to your family members way of thinking...

    This year seemed lackluster, or is it just me.

    I've never connected through CLT and not had to be that idiot running over people allll the looooooong waaaaaay through the B terminal sections to get to the other side of E; panting out of breath as I plop into my seat and coughing and catching my breath.

    These comments are gold though: After asking them if there was anything flying into the state of Florida either that day or early the following morning (OK, more like begging like Keith Sweat in his prime), I got an early morning flight into Tampa in First Class because they canceled my flight. I then booked a rental, then drove the hour and a half to the House of Mouse. You needed to go full light skint to get that fixed son. Not merely light skinned. Be so light skinned that Drake hears of your begging and gets ideas for a new record. LOL

    Group 1 is wasted if you are the last one on and have to gate check your carry-on tho. But, what you described above can't be helped sometimes-- especially when you are ready to roll off and see your family ASAP.
