  1. I happened across this point of view which made me have a little more empathy for women who massacre their faces in pursuit of slowing down time and aging. I've read that women do indeed become invisible to a patriarchal society after a certain age and look (and it's even more pronounced in arenas like Hollywood where a lot of middle aged women have recently spoken up and gave visibility to the issue). Anyways, read and see if you agree: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/desperate-for-botox
  2. Amen brother. There is a lot of toxicity in kid's sports, especially as it's become a professional job at the earliest ages and these kids can make millions of bucks before they ever get drafted, but it's a crucible of character building opportunities as you said so well.
  3. Tough seeing your kid gut it out and leave it all out on the field in the playoffs and come up short. Builds character though. And Southlake Carroll is a machine. If it's anything like it was when I was at UT he will have fraternity brothers who he has played against in Texas HS football for the last four years and they will be some of his best friends and he was competing against some of his future best friends and didn't even know it.
  4. I bought airpods from amazon at a very low (shocking) price and they sent two different chinese knock off brands. I had to drive to whole foods to take them back and was worried they would think I was scamming them, but they scammed me!
  5. Broke the seal on the first fire of the year.
  6. It's funny because he's a manlet that can fit in a Women's Large.
  7. It's probably Elf but, like others have said, it's nostalgic in a way that brings back joyful and warm memories when kids were little, so it gets a lifetime pass.
  8. Cue the Black Friday meme: “we all got big tvs put them groceries on sale!”
  9. Was reading letterbox and Reddit and was surprised to find the biggest problem people had was with christoph waltz character and the writing in of his character and role. Funny to see people turning on him as a one trick pony and the “all he does is play christoph waltz in every movie”.
  10. Yes that is a very much part of the book. I don't know what to think of this movie to be honest. It's half cheese, half interesting. It's like if The Prestige and Twilite had a baby called Twilite Prestige: Dawn of Frankenstein had a film baby.
  11. And the thing is, the prices are reaching parity. I’ve spent two weeks of every month this year in NYC. Prices for fine dining (omakase, steaks, standard fine dining) are about equal to what I see in Atlanta or Dallas or Miami (red states). Either the prices in other cities are catching up to NYC and a steak experience in Plano is a rip off to the experience in the City or NYC has flattened out and is a better deal. Can’t comment on LA.
  12. I get the sense a bunch of Uncs on here don’t know this so let me help out the room: Add "-ai" to your Google queries and the experience is like it was from 2001-2022.
  13. Makes sense. I just don’t know how necessary Oaxacan is, for me.
  14. Pretty much a dead bet after the 3rd play of the game. Crazy bets be like that, I guess.
  15. I thought this was for sure a youtuber putting out some spicy hot 'tent.
