  1. Beau is Afraid (2023) WTF Although it would be fun having that statute of Parker Posey.
  2. Reading a biography of the great Bill T. Sherman. Lots of similarities in the years before the civil war. Didn't realize that some of the southern states kept Lincoln off of their presidential ballots. Lots of similarities in how the dumb southern whites went against their own interests by supporting slavery. Difference - the issue of slavery is a good degree more personal to most of those original seditionists that the"invasion of brown people" that frankly, they'd be less passionate about if they actually did have a personal relationship with some of those brown people. Plus, those southern boys in the 1860s weren't just dress up soldiers.
  3. I gotta disagree. I originally didn't like him, but if you listened to him he was a rapscallion, and I think he'd fuck someone up if he got the chance.
  4. I thought Texas was going to de-annex AZ after the last election.
  5. I've always put the Rape of Nanking at the bottom but...
  6. I keep waiting for these two to show up on What We Do in the Shadows. (Okay, so I'm four years behind on my pop culture).
  7. Well, my apologies to women. I generally get mad that they aren't closer to 100% non-Republican but hats off, and keep it up, and we will overcome.
  8. Give us an example where two lawyers represent clients with two different versions of the truth, and these duties you refer to would lead to a determination before a jury/judge gets to hear the case presented.
  9. No it doesn't. It asks that the parties engage in good faith but presumes there will be fuck ups. And there are usually remedies for those fuck ups. As in every other human endeavor. You are holding a system designed to try its best to resolve the most difficult conflicts of opposing views of the truth and/or justice by pretending there is a magic eight ball that will come up with the same result in the separate hands of two lawyers and a fact finder.
  10. Heh. It's insane. I did it via audio (about 60 hours total, I think). Interestingly, I only tired a bit in the last 10 hours or so. Two round trip road trips from Dallas to SA, and then 30 minutes a night.
  11. Just a small point. Ageism, however ugly you think it may be, is a whole lot more attractive than most "every other ugly thing in our culture".
  12. Not really. They accept that they are hated by people who don't understand, or who are unwilling to understand, the system.
  13. That's pretty awesome. I am trying to figure the stereo and the guitar set up in the same room as well, but it's a pretty small space. My blown receiver is a Technics as well but without that pretty wood finish.
  14. Just finished the Caro biography of Robert Moses. Yet another example of how there has always been a majority of stupid/misinformed/passive voters that have to be herded correctly at one's peril. I think the most common voter attitude in the past was apathy and a bit of envy. The internets have turned that attitude to rage and lots of envy. You used to just have to have the big newspapers in your pocket. It's more complicated now.
  15. It has to to with a bullshit narrative that anyone outside of a few folks responding to bulletin boards trolls even gives a shit.
  16. Holy shit, the replacement MMC cartridges for the B&O turntable are super expensive, so maybe just grabbing a new turntable and putting the old one aside for a bit.
  17. Who changed this thread title from Abbott Being a Dirty Cunt?
