  1. As a rule you never watch what you hope is a good horror movie after seeing a good one. Hereditary is haunting and it hangs with you, so your next one should be something like Killer Klowns from Outter Space. Think of it as a palate cleanser. Speaking of which, Talk to Me is a pretty good horror movie. It’s not “elevated horror” a term I hate for reasons I don’t feel like writing an essay on at the moment, but it’s entertaining and sufficiently creepy. Watch it at night if you’re feeling lonely. Muhahaha! i get what you’re saying on Joker. People built it up to be amazing. It wasn’t incredible. I tend to be more wary of positive reviews than negative ones.
  2. Ive been putting off seeing this movie for years despite being a horror fanatic. The wrong people are saying too much about this one and that usually isn't a great sign. I'll eventually get around to it. But you really hated Joker? I liked that movie. The fandom for it is a toxic cesspool similar to Fight Club, but i liked the movie.
  3. this is a very new unexpected spin on an old familiar song. This is the third country song by Shaboozey that I'm going to listen to way too many times. And he's from NoVA.
  4. i sincerely hope it’s from after October, because who sat around learning to say death to America in solidarity with Iran in 2022?
  5. Minny, by virtue of being blown out by the Suns today, have earned a 3 v 6 series against those very same Suns. OKC ends #1, Denver 2nd. They’ll play the winners of the play in. fun times ahead!
  6. Maybe they offered to send some volunteers to continue training Americans “peace activists” for free.
  7. That says Venezuela is also showing the Chilean forest fire video as evidence of a successful attack in Israel. Not surprising. When you’re a weak saber rattling authoritarian paper tiger, pretending to be victorious is the best you’re ever going to get. Depends on the level of damage. I could see you being right if the iron dome did its work and the damage and loss of life are minimal. Hopefully this is the case.
  8. This is my concern as well. Israel is not one to shrug anything off. Irans strike could prove largely ineffective, and Israel might still decide to launch a major strike in retaliation. It would be very much in character for them to do so.
  9. Absolutely. He gave everyone the business in his era, and centers haven’t gotten any better defending in the low post.
  10. both the centers playing in that game are players the likes of which we’ve never seen. it wasn’t long ago we were lamenting the state of the NBA center position. Now we’re marveling at its reinvention.
  11. Great article on how suits and their wall street culture killed Boeing. https://prospect.org/infrastructure/transportation/2024-03-28-suicide-mission-boeing/ this part is extremely telling Among the multitude of predictable sins detailed in this article this point here annoys me the most. It should be a federal crime for any company or organization to instruct members or employees to avoid documentation of problems. There is only one reason to ever do this, and it’s to avoid accountability.
  12. I could have gone with taxes or even how to farm bug protein to prevent the vegans from winning… but I’m trying to be a more positive person.
  13. No Timmy you won’t be in music class like your older siblings, you’re part of our new 3rd grade program on life skills. You’ll be learning how to use tampons to stop puncture wounds from bleeding. Then, assuming you survive, we’ll move on to mortgage loan applications.
  14. And now there’s a three way tie at the top of the west. Denver somehow managed to lose to San Antonio today.
  15. The fact that he shoots on the move gives me hope. Spot up shooting just can’t be trusted sometimes, but guys that can pull up usually can shoot for real.
  16. Edey is slow. Glacial. He has no future in the NBA as a starter, though I’d be surprised if he didn’t hang around on the bench. He’s huge and rebounds well. There’s always the possibility that he might develop enough offense to be useful and 7’4 players don’t grow on trees. We all saw how long Boban stuck around in the NBA, and he didn’t have much game other than just being enormous. Clingan is the better prospect but he’s really just a high energy big with no offense. I think he can be a starter in the NBA, but not a star. It’s a shame he wasn’t developed better, because with his speed and size, he’d be dangerous if skilled. As he is though he’s not the sort of player you’d want out of a lottery pick where you’re hoping for bigs like Embid, KAT, Wemby, AD, etc. Guys that force the opposing team to account for what they bring offensively. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think the wizards should draft a Zaccharie Risacher. I know I know. Another foreign born wing player?! lol the difference this time, is this young man is 18 and is hitting threes off the dribble. A 6-9 wing that can drive and shoot off the bounce? That’s hard to pass up in this draft.
  17. the suns are clearly the biggest threat in the play in though. They have big time scoring options that will likely hit another gear come playoff time. Eliminating KD Booker and Beal won’t be easy, and easy is what you want as a top seed in the first round. If things stay as is I’m looking forward to that Clippers Mavs series.
  18. Suns being in the play in currently has to be infuriating for the Timberwolves and Nuggets. That is not a team they want to face in the first round.
  19. No one would have believed you if you had predicted this.
  20. My wife is an accountant and I have asked her repeatedly to confirm that her company expects her to murder people she catches cooking the books. So far she’s denied everything… but the secrets out, right? They even made a movie about it. Why lie? anyway I don’t push it too far now that I know what she, and her team of accountants, are capable of. I keep all my receipts too.
  21. I had exactly this reaction to seeing the image and I’m glad someone else took the time to write it out.
  22. So this is blowing up on social media. Facebook parent being listed as the source on Dr Phil does not strike me as credible. Sounds like total bull****. So I headed over to Reddit teachers, and sure enough it’s being discussed, but the answer is not the clear “no this is bull****” I was hoping for. See for yourself: https://www.reddit.com/r/Teachers/s/6PVH884z6I Anyone here want to dispel this nightmare? Please tell me that no where in US public schools is getting 70% wrong on all submitted work, still passing.
  23. I’m not expecting CJ Stroud. Hell, I’m not expecting year two of CJ Stroud to match year one. He had an absurd year in terms of limiting turnovers and mistakes. I am expecting a QB that looks the part. Sam Howell did for about half a season and then fell apart. How good i expect them to play largely depends on if they’re playing behind a good offensive line, or the wet toilet paper we have currently.
