what a shit fight...
I'm "that guy" and could see this happening to me. I have had 3-4 fights literally land in my lap or at my feet. I didn't move but some literally made it down a block or two and ended up right at my feet.

I’m pretty impressed with how Charlotte is transforming into Wendy Jr. It’s good acting.
Agreed. She's a bright spot in Season 4 and arguably the most likable character: she seems to be the only one that is smart and has some basic emotional intelligence as well as not being completely self-absorbed.

You're confusing 1994 with 1990 (and I said 1989 when it was 1990). And Ann Richards had nothing to do with it. It was Bullock and other Tech/Baylor people in the legislature. Dodds was AD by then and DKR had no influence on those decisions.
To quote Bill Cunningham, president at the time, in his book ("The Texas Way"), "Dodds and I briefed the UT System regents at a board meeting in August 1990 in Odessa, and they gave me an informal nod to proceed with the Pac 10." Texas, A&M and Arkansas were all planning moves. Arkansas officially accepted the SEC invitation on 8/1/1990, so it was before Texas changed their mind, but after Texas was planning to leave as well.
The UGA president did approach Cunningham about the SEC in the summer of 1989. That was when Texas started looking at its other options and Cunningham said he really had no interest in the SEC, but they certainly talked about it.
The Ann Richards thing is one of the most frequently repeated misinformation in Texas college sports. Yes, it was political, but it was not Ann Richards. As noted, on the Baylor side it was Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock and Sen. David Sibley (R-Waco), who was a very powerful senator at the time. On the Tech side, it was House Speaker Pete Laney (D-some little town near Lubbock) and Sen. Rob Junell (D-Lubbock), like Sibley a very powerful senator.

The entire "Washington Football Team" is just SAF. I mean do people need to be reminded what sport? Why not just "Washington." Seems pretty obvious it is a team and it plays football ... this isn't the damn MLS.

This exact same thing happened in West around 2005-06 IIRC. It was crazy how much damage the blast did. Buildings miles away had some damage, and the immediate area around the fertilizer plant looked like something out of World War II bombing.

I agree that my idea of realism could definitely vary from others. Maybe I've watched too many shows/movies where characters who are reluctant to talk about their crimes actually don't talk about it. Ozark is similar to the movies where they rely on a climatic court scene with a crafty lawyer who gets another person to confess to the crime and frees their client! Sure it could happen and probably does once in while, but I'm guessing it's pretty rare. Usually the guilty party shuts up.
About the Shaw/Javi interaction - Javi is refusing to supply Shaw because of the FBI raids on his trucks. She buys from another source. At this point, unless I missed it, Javi is still refusing to supply Shaw.
Shaw could 1) continue to buy from Darlene 2) start buying more expensive product from Madagascar again or 3) hope that Javi starts supplying again.
Shaw chooses to rat out the Byrds and cuts off the supply from Darlene. Javi is still refusing to supply Shaw. So by ratting out Darlene, Shaw is hoping that the Byrds can smooth things over with Javi and he'll start supplying Shaw again. She didn't even ask for that. Shaw just gave up Darlene and put all of her eggs in one volatile basket. She may hope that the Byrds can smooth things over and get the supply from Javi going again. He's already screwed her over by refusing to supply over an issue that Shaw has no control over - how does Shaw know that Javi won't do it again in the future? Seems like a bad business decision to choose a volatile, threatening Javi (currently not supplying) vs Darlene (already supplying). And if she's really intimidated, she has her own murderous psychopath she can send to eliminate Javi.
The show has characters like Shaw make dumb choices to advance the plot and create more puzzles for the Bryds to get out of. The whole Shaw supply was a series of dumb choices to create drama.
I can tolerate a bunch of unrealism if there is some internal consistency. What gets annoying about Ozark the Byrde's ability to get out of all kinds of jams by having characters act inconsistently. It really started S1E1 when Del decided to spare Marty at the auto salvage place over an Ozarks brochure and then spares he and Wendy subsequently after Marty lied to him about Wendy knowing about the business. Marty continually talks his way out of ridiculous situations by pure power of persuasion although he rarely is decisive and constantly waffles.
Darlene was an even crazier example of this and Ruth to a lesser degree. If the cartel, the mob, and others acted consistently, no way they survived as long as they have. Speaking of Shaw - have a hard time believing that character they way she is presented decides "buying heroin from a drug cartel seems like a great idea."

Read up on Josef Mengele. It might help.

Can't we all agree that it's bizarro world when 60s "counterculture" artists in 2022 are like "agree with the gubment or else!"

Fucking Gen X always fucked. We have irrelevant, washed up Boomers trying to get attention and Gen Z grievance studies majors that believe men can have babies censoring what is "science." I would put on my Docs and go slap olds and instahoes but I am too apathetic.
