2022 Austin Elections - Mayoral and otherwise
DanRydell replied to Biff Tannen's topic in Cloak Room
That's an extremely bizarre takeaway from a race where both candidates were high quality. -
That first part is not even remotely true but yes, girlfriends qualify as family violence.
-
I’ve mostly enjoyed it but the editors and Jeff have been really focusing on trying to force sappy “inspirational” moments which has been pretty cringey.
-
I didn’t hear Dwight’s name brought up at all. Did I miss something or was this just a terrible edit?
-
Affirmative action might the best example of the difference between textualism and originalism. I think reasonable minds can disagree on what exactly "equal protection" means from a textualism perspective but there is absolutely no honest originalist argument that the equal protection clause prohibits corrective race-based programs when the same Congress that enacted the 14th Amendment also created the Freedman's Bureau.

I thought they were setting her up too much with the edit and that Jeanine was going to play the idol for her.
-
Jeanine was the one who actually went through his bag

There really weren't any apps that did what it did (Vine had been the closest but had gone defunct), which is why it became so popular (a pandemic keeping people home and bored also helped).
-
Yeah, there’s the off-screen battle at the end of season one where Tyrion gets knocked out just as it’s starting and we wake up with him after it’s over.
-
The first battle was Season 2, Episode 9. The second wasn’t until Season 4, Episode 9.
-
Seems like the producers perhaps underestimated how easy it would be to get beads from one’s tribemates.
-
So you think season one of GoT suffered from a lack of sufficient table setting?
-
I’m literally asking for the opposite. What the fuck are you talking about?
-
This. Trying to avoid unanimity because Ruth, Mays, whatever weren’t unanimous is dumb, but if I think 11 guys are worthy, I’m gonna leave of the guy who doesn’t need my vote to get over the top.
-
This has been the longest prologue ever. I guess we’ll find out if it’s been worth it once the show starts in earnest, but I doubt it. If GoT had been set up like this, we would have had a first season just rushing through Robert/Lyanna/Rhaegar, the Ned/Cat and Jon/Lysa courtships, Littlefinger’s history with Cat/Lysa, Robert’s Rebellion, Jaime’s king slaying, the Robert/Cersei wedding, Ned taking in Jon Snow, and Jon Arryn’s poisoning. Instead we started out in media res, spent some real time with people and let the story breathe, and just learned these things as needed as we went.

The competitions play a significant role in who makes the final two. They mean power, they mean safety, they can lead to and/or destroy alliances, etc. If competition performance is important to the jurors, it can also play a significant role in who wins the jury vote. But there’s certainly no requirement that the jurors care about competition performance.
-
Of course it's true, and it always has been true. Fortunately there are literally countless other TV shows you can watch that don't involve a winner being declared by the judgment of their competitors.
-
Where do you have “building relationships with the jurors” on their resumes? The point of Big Brother is not to win comps or even to avoid the block. The point is to get to the final two and to then get a majority of the jury to vote for you. Winning comps can certainly be a tool for getting to the end, and they can be a tool for winning votes to the degree jurors think they should matter, but they don’t have to be.
-
The pacing of this show so far is all sorts of fucked IMO. They're throwing a lot of plot at viewers but then not really giving the show room to breathe or doing the work that's necessary to let people really get to know and love/hate the characters. If these characters aren't really important and we just need to some major plot points for later, this is pure prologue and probably should have just been done through interspersed flashbacks or something. If they're intending to convey something other than prologue, then the first five episodes should have been drawn out for a full season. This show feels like it would have chopped Ned's head off halfway through episode two, which doesn't land remotely the same as doing so in episode 9.
-
Yeah, this makes no sense George.
-
If he should have, he would have.
-
That was one of the most lopsided jury Q&A/final speech performance I can recall.
-
I would assume the same. Otherwise they’d have to actually cut a couple of legs and episodes.
-
The only team I really hate so far is the motivational speakers. Hopefully they stick around just long enough to show their asses enought to tank their business.

Nothing is tiring with a large enough trust fund
