Destino

I was wrong. Iowa managed to hold their lead. Nice to see recognizable players, a rivalry, and a strong crowd for the women’s game.

Women have better shot selection in college than the men’s game. Not saying they’re better players, but they put up much fewer garbage floaters against two or three defenders. This is a good game. Iowa is winning but I feel like LSU will win. They seem to have a size advantage everywhere.

2nd in the west at the moment.

*angrily shaves*

Duke is cooked. They can’t buy a three ball right now. Shots are all way off.

Zach Edey’s offense looks like he started playing basketball in 2021.

Survival of the fittest. Pulling people out of the water weakens the species!

I said this in the offseason and was shunned. When they resigned Draymond to that huge deal, it was over. Trade them all for picks.

Why waste so much time going for 2 there. Wasn’t time for a Steve Nash impersonation.

UNC is cooked.

Can someone explain why the warriors are barely clinging to the final play in spot despite being mostly healthy all season? What was the point of keeping the band together if 10th place in the west it what they can manage when playing? They’re one game above the rockets. If they fall to 11th with everyone healthy… that’s going to be embarrassing.

CNN is saying the ship had severe electrical problems for days prior to the crash. That’s the sort of claim that turns accident to negligence in a hurry. related note, my impression of ocean shipping in general has long been that they’re poorly maintained rusted tubs held together largely by inadequate improvised repairs done by the haunted nomadic crew drawn to this sort of occupation. It’s possible I read too much fiction. lol

This image really changes the perspective. That’s a really big boat.

You process faster than I do. If I fell into a river along with approximately a billion tons of steel and concrete only to be plucked out of certain watery death my brain wouldn’t be contemplating anything. Guilt? My inner monologue would read like so: “aaaaaaaAAAAHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh omg omg omg aaaaaaaAAAAHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh“ if I made it home it would be on instinct alone.

I heard the bridge was vaxxed, weakening the steel with estrogen DNA.

Update, I didn’t sleep last night. 7 other kids she knows had a similar night. All seven were at the same party and attend the same school so it could have happened at either place. Not sure what they ate but it messed them up. All seven seem to have gotten over the worst of it though.

Would have been much worse at rush hour for sure. I don’t know if anyone was on the bridge when it was hit but I sincerely hope not. Terrifying watching it collapse like that. It went so quickly. I would have assumed they had a barrier of some kind around the support structures to stop a collision with a massive ship. Evidently we were all just one wrong turn of a cargo ship from being sent screaming into the river.

Yeah it’s memorable. Popeyes sold me some under cooked chicken once. Hit me right I a pulled up at home. Didn’t make it to the bathroom, I fouled every container shaped object on my way to it. Fruit bowl, potted plant, and trash can. I spent a full 24 hours unable to keep down a sip of water. This was more than twenty years ago and I remember clear as day. Food poisoning sucks. Imagine what those cruise lines with norovirus outbreaks were like. Same symptoms but like a thousand people at once… trapped together on a boat. Stuff of nightmares.

Food poisoning is the most likely explanation since they’re all sick at the same time. She can’t keep anything down yet, not even a sip of water. We’ve all been there, it’s miserable. So we’re up watching anime.

Today I got word my daughter’s friend spent all day throwing up. Then of another thread. So I asked her, were these two wonderful young ladies at the party you attended on Sunday? You bet they were. Present situation: I’ve washed out this bucket 8 times or so. My kid is miserable. God save me from children’s parties. This is going to be a long night.

I’ve been wondering when they were going to get around to this. The accusations made against him are bad. If he did it, I hope he was dumb enough to keep evidence proving so beyond a doubt.

Hey if you like Sam Elliott and bad movies I have a recommendation that can’t be beat. Behold!

I’ll add that the reluctant killer trope kind of bores me. Poor Patrick Swayze is forced to kill a guy and he just feels terrible about it. Then he goes murdering his way through a rich guys house but feels awful the whole time because no one ever wins a fight or pain don’t hurt or whatever. Jake Gyllenhaal On the other hand is walking around thinking “keep it happy man, they’re paying good money so as long as I don’t kill anyone I can live on that boat.” It’s clear that he’s barely in control annd wildly over compensating to keep the demon under control. Dude tries to tell people, but they’re like “what you dangerous? No man, you’re so nice!” but no one stops him from getting on that bus. lol if you ask me which the more believable character is, there’s no contest. Amateur philosopher and famous bouncer that reluctantly rips out throats is not more believable than violent twitchy man with a violent past losing his **** and killing some dudes.
