    The thought has crossed my mind. They have at least wised up enough to not verbalize the stupid shit I was hearing from them from 2016-2020.

    This is where I've been at with my parents for the last 2 years. One the one hand, we're about to have 2 kids under 3 and could really use some help. On the other hand, I feel my blood boiling when the people they support continue to do things to jeopardize the future of their grandkids. I did see a Nikki Haley mailer on their table though, so perhaps approaching the subject to see if there is any hope of AT LEAST getting them to fully leave MAGA Land behind would be a worthwhile exercise.

    Is Israel trying to completely get rid of all the goodwill and sympathy built up immediately following the Hamas attacks? Because they're doing a pretty good job of it.

    The off-season really was the best part of Texas football for over a decade, until last season. It feels strange to be able to tune out for a while, knowing the actual games are going to be far more enjoyable than any spring/summer nonsense.

    Africa 2034 it is!

    For those who went with kids, how old were they? I've got a 2 year-old and another on the way, so I know it won't be anytime soon, but I'd like to go while wildlife is still a thing that exists.

    What is this cartel stuff? I always see you alluding to it, but I don't know if you ever laid out the connection. Is he somehow our states' most loathsome political figure? There are soooo many to choose from, hard to pick just one.

    So we're going to beat Georgia 3 times next year is what I'm getting from spring practice reports.

    Haidt was on hidden brain today. I only caught a little bit of it, but sounded like a good interview. He talked about how college kids were asked how much they would have to be paid to quit social media for a month, with an average response being something like $50. When asked what if we got everyone else on your school off social media at the same time, they said they would pay to quit, along with everyone else.

    He's why I drink Hennessey to this day.

    Probably true, but I got that moment when a young dolphin decided to investigate a group of us in the water at Magen's Bay in St. Thomas for about 15 minutes, before Mama finally came and escorted him away. Dolphins and orcas are the best.

    I didn't read it and really enjoyed season 1, so hopefully it gets renewed. I'm sure the Saul character does too, since he's supposed to be the smartest person in the show but spent all of season one getting high.

    I saw this guy while diving at an oil rig in the Gulf. Scared the shit out of me as I saw it swimming toward me, especially when I couldn't tell if it was a shark or not. It just stopped about 100 feet away and watched for a while.

    Auggie character gets super annoying in episode 6.

    Our oldest is June and youngest will be September/October, so they'll be 3 years apart. I'm kind of glad they have that hopeful separation in social life. And I would say we're definitely not overthinking it this go around like we may have the first time. If the wife wasn't dying of constant morning sickness, this pregnancy would be much lower stress than the last one.

    Very jealous of those kitchen cabinets as I work to salvage mine from the 1990's. Oh, and cute kid!

    Anyone else with 2 boys about 2 years apart? I've got to imagine that the time from the little one becoming mobile to the older one starting school is going to an absolute whirlwind. I wouldn't describe the big boy as a chill dude, so I think we'll be holding on for dear life for a while.

    #2 is going to be another boy! Due 28 months after his big brother.

    Same, 2017. The one I saw in Lassen Volcanic NP? More like a bear. It also got all up in our campsite, despite having our stuff in a bear container 100 yards away. We moved camp for the night...

    I was about to say, I don't really remember the name outside of Ana thinking she was the one person/thing he couldn't #bothsides about. There was no opposite and equally bad counter to her, apparently.

    If I didn't watch last year's tournament, I wouldn't know why Disu was playing.
  22. hookem2010
    Granted, I've only watched about 4 games this year, but has Horton ever made any sort of play?

    So the guy who shot people up at a BLM rally thought it would be a good idea to speak at the University of Memphis?

    This pregnancy has been an absolute ass-kicking for the wife (anybody else's 2nd seem so much harder than the 1st?), and we had a brief scare earlier this week, but the 12-week US looked great! Now that the baby looks like something and we will know the sex soon, shit is starting to feel real again.

    That's about as R as you can look without a goatee and pair of Oakleys.
