  1. the little things - It was decent but had some plot holes. It was set in the mid 70's LA, so it was interesting to see how they did the period stuff like no cell phones but digital pagers, etc. I enjoyed it enough to sit through it, but that's about all I can say.
  2. Make them in the shape of crosses and you'd quadruple your sales.
  3. I don't know. Lots of talk on the football side about forearms and calves.
  4. Pretty much like these two:
  5. I don't think kids spend as much time learning to actually write vs using a keyboard. My youngest was never taught cursive and even 3 years into college his handwriting is about like a 4th grader. But then lots of kids his age are at the same level. But he can hammer out texts on a phone in record time. Another thing that is weighing on this generation is actually finding something they can do as a career that isn't destined to be impacted to some degree by AI or robotics. That also leads to pretty much everyone already in the workforce too. The old ways of doing things are rapidly changing, and the valuation of what an individual can bring to society will have to change. Humans have the capacity to produce and that's what has given purpose to our lives for centuries. But what happens when that production is done more efficiently by robots or AI systems? Then what do humans do with their time? What do they have coming in to support themselves and their families? Or do we scale back from the efficiency of those systems in order to keep humans viable? All this plays into the apathy too for a lot of these kids. A shrinking job market, no company loyalty, unaffordable housing, etc.
  6. And to make it worse, we have to endure the mission of ABC to make these two Wolfpack guards into demigods
  7. So much class and scrap in this team and it's been coached into them. I liked his comments about playing with an edge and AMo talking about being the villain. There's a difference between playing with and edge and playing like thugs and outright trying to humiliate the other team like Mulkey's crews have always done. Mulkey counts on her players getting into the other team's heads. Vic wants his getting into their passing lanes, on their boards. I hate to think about losing Muhammed too, she always brings a certain focused energy with her when she comes in.
  8. That do that daily. 5 times. Facing Kyle Field.
  9. These people are going all in on Project 2025 and Agenda 47.
  10. Only way for lots of them to be able to stomach being in college station. Being high. Can't honestly imagine what life would be like as a black female athlete in that backasswards racist town. Especially one that is taller than most of the other students, like bball or vball players.
  11. The worst is when they do it in Europe. And no, they aren't random young Europeans who like the colors and logo. I do see a lot of young Europeans wearing Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Columbia etc...and then when it comes to non-ivies you get ND and I've even seen a few Longhorn hoodies and tshirts on what I don't think were American tourists. You remember a few years ago something showed up on the internet where some ignorant TAMU fan had scratched graffiti into the Colosseum or some other venerated site? Like they expect people who visit from around the world to recognize their symbol and say "yes, it is now complete, Texas A & M has been here."
  12. If Mitchell stays, they need to put him in the Disu chair of shooting practice all summer.
  13. I have a cousin who went to TAMU, and his 3 kids went too. I have never seen them in anything that isn't black, white, grey or maroon for at least 20 years. It's astounding.
  14. Somehow the use of the word 'ain't' in that very precisely written response just doesn't fit. She can't pull off the 'Aww, shucks' delivery like DKR, Bum and others did. But usually they would break into that when they wanted to appear humble. This woman has no idea what humble is. It just rings so false, like the rest of her. I would shudder to hear Sark or Vic or any of our coaches speak like that.
  15. Part of the aggie grift, I imagine.
  16. If there's one thing they know how to do it's polishing turds.
  17. Our boy Graham is at it again. This time it's the Trev hire. And of course none of it make sense. This guy is going to be good for a lot of laughs going forward. Texas A&M hiring Trev Alberts shows they are still one step ahead of Texas, OU The Texas A&M Aggies are showing that they won’t back down to anybody in the new era of collegiate athletics.

  18. Mad respect for you being an election worker. A thankless job made harder by the idiots passing laws to make it harder to vote, not easier.
  19. Probably the fact he conceded before the polls were closed? Maybe they do it differently there, and release count as they come in, and not wait until after the polls close. Doubtful. He might have been going off of exit poll results?
  20. Don't forget Liz Carpenter. https://www.chron.com/opinion/editorials/article/the-funny-feminist-liz-carpenter-knew-how-to-1708575.php
  21. Yep. Was actually thinking integrity. But you are right, it's a mindset away from capitalism, consumerism and material wealth.
  22. Yeah. David Dennison. What a dipshit.
  23. Seems with the increased O&G self-dependency and movement towards renewables here in the states and across the world, the Saudis would not be carrying as big a stick as they did in the past. There's still a place for them moving forward but diminished.
  24. Yes, some standards need to be set. But I think something like the Hays Commission would ensue. They tried to clean up Hollywood and in so doing they set up their own propaganda machine, which in turn stifled a lot of artistic talent and concepts. So, it has to be done right. The problem is Trump has made even facts questionable. And a sizeable chunk of people look to the Bible as the only fact. Yeah, there's a lot to untangle here. But then we do it in a lot of other things like football and business, so just nut up and put groups in categories and have them abide within a set of rules to stay in that category. That would separate ONN and Fox from actual news reporting agencies. And once those standards are set, then maybe MSM starts to lean harder back into the facts and away from the MTG type carwreck sensationalistic reporting they feel they have to provide to compete with Fox and that ilk. I think back to the day when you stood in line at the grocer and could choose from Time, or LIFE or tabloids. We used to thumb through the tabloids for the amusement and take home a Time of Newsweek for the real truth. Somehow, we need to bring back that basic knowledge of truth from bullshit. Why is Snopes so highly regarded? How do we bottle that?
