Speaking of Denzel. I yelled at the kids the other day, "SHOE PROGRAM! 23 HOUR LOCK DOWN!"

Victor came to life for me this week finally. Gave him some 3D with the backstory, a moral arc, a rubicon to cross at the bus station, some redemption, etc. I hope Victor becomes some gangland or henchmen from the rogue gallery and this is his stealth origin story, but I don't think we are that lucky (and I don't know the lore well enough or not to know). This show is fantastic to me and Collin Ferrel is a tour de force. Helo isn't entirely wrong, as the writing/plot can be a bit episodic or soapy, but it is a comic book and gangland mash up, so some of that is forgivable. They are getting the balance right 90% of the time.

It's interesting the only two females in the cast (at least from what I remember) are very mentally ill. The mom swivel chairs from dementia to salient, if a bit cruel, ambition and narcissism (e.g. If my son is a nothing, am I a nothing?). Reminds me of the R-rated version of the mom in Kindergarten cop.

I watched the deleted joker scene on the first page someone posted and thought how gruesome and dark joker looks. It makes Ledger’s joker look downright squeaky clean. I caught The Batman (2022) on HBO after watching ep 1 of Penguin and forgot how awesome Paul Dano was.

That video is super sweet and wholesome. Good for her! America’s Sweetheart.

Also, Caitlin Clark was nearly unanimously the ROTY. I wonder if Kirk Bohl’s had the one dissenting vote lol

It was the "bro built like the snapchat logo" for me.

The offense the last two series looks like the Sam Ehlinger years oof.

He was better.

Ah, we both are semi-retired and stay home for the most part and either drive together or run seperate errands as needed by taking which ever car you are in the mood for. I guess I can see when we were commuting to work you'd have "his" and "her" car.

Is this weird? This is what I do. I pay for both, they are both mine, and interchangable based upon moods.

I worked for a company who had a huge footprint in Raleigh area (essentially the NA HQ) and I didn't enjoy my trips or time there. YMMV, this wasn't the suburbs, in the loop downtown.

Gotta be a race component though.

dude nah. Texas is being gestapo about marijuana. They are raiding places and disregarding local laws on the books (e.g. decriminilazation in Denton County, these laws above) with, and I'll quote the DEA + APD strikeforce from last week "I'm not going to argue the science" when being pushed back on: From last week: Allen police raid 9 hemp businesses accused of selling products with illegal levels of THC Police executed search and seizure warrants after investigating the sale of THC products. A lawyer for the businesses called the raid questionable. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/allen-police-cannabis-shops-raids-siezure/287-138ed26e-343a-482c-aeed-0bfcc21b6afc

God bless you surly Rolex wearing tech bros descending upon SF for dream fest in a month.

The word “dime” gets thrown around too casually these days for my tastes, but this is one of those appropriate times. That’s an NFL throw.

Lots of dry haters and quiet “just playing devils advocate” haters gone all but extinct in the Caitlin conversation these days. You just love to see it.

I know whatyamean.

Why should she have to change her plans just because the league is jealous and petty towards her? She didn't do anything wrong by being awesome and media and fan friendly and putting the sport on the map.

I agree but also laughed because…kinda true.

That part isn’t different, just a downfall and highlighting how inferior picking up most foods to go is versus being served dining in. My broader point was how much it sucks to pay almost double for the honor of getting soggy inferior take out versus paying regular list price to pick it up yourself. In either case your food experience at home is inferior.

I can see paying a premium to be safe from getting on the roads when inebriated, touche. However, woe to the drunk and high person at 10:30am in the middle of a work day, which was my experience.

I didn't even realize Ketamine could be addictive. I guess I'm showing my age and naiveté as I've never had ketamine.

Less makes me surly and more very confused. I was at a diner by my house today and someone came in upset that the delivery was wrong. I overheard the cashier saying "Oh we had two Sam's and he took your food and you got his food, blah blah." It got me thinking, and I don't understand the appeal or desire to order food and have it delivered to your house with one of these apps. Door Dash, Uber Eats, GrubHub, etc. et al. For me it's not simply the finances, though by the time you finish paying the service fees, delivery fees, junk fees, you are paying a minimum of 50% more and in some cases even more. For me it's more of getting your food when it's less than fresh. No food does well put in hot and let to steam itself in a styrofoam container. You get the benefit of soggy food, lukewarm, and the great forever chemicals you get to ingest from the hot food on styrofoam. That is if you even get your food order correct. What am I missing? If you can order it for delivery, you can surely throw on some gym shorts and a shirt and some crocs and drive yourself to pick it up yourself at a minimum, right?

What is the best way to "shop" insurances? Someone mentioned go to an indy guy and have him do it-- how do you find those folks? I will go online and do a search but then get fatigued after putting ALL my info in a website after one or two times. Alternatively I've inputted my info once to "shop" and go spam calls for a day trying to sell me on everything but I was looking for.
