  1. Past hour
  2. I agree. I know what I'd want. What we'd want is one thing. Whether it would actually bring us peace and closure is quite another. There's a metric shitton of things in this life that, if only I could get it, then it would surely make me happy/feel better/etc. But then, having gotten one or another of those things, it's amazing how often the thing that I wanted did NOT ultimately make me happy/feel better/etc. Knowing that pattern doesn't make me stop wanting those things. But it has made me more realistic about the outcome I expect from getting them. I'm suggesting that a realistic approach would be to acknowledge that the thing you very much want - vengeance - won't fill the void.
  3. Holy crap. Brandi on vocals, Sheryl on piano, and I'm not sure they made even the tiniest flub. Honestly I never really got the depth of this song until now, Bonnie's version was much glossier.
  4. Define "crazy" I said this earlier, Cam Newton reportedly got paid $180,000 as a senior to go play 1 year at Auburn. That's a drop in the bucket now. Will bagmen be able to pay 10x that now under the table? And I feel like most of the under the table stuff back then was on a player by player basis, not across an entire roster. I think there is a close to zero chance that any school that utilizes under the table bagmen will be able to compete with what Texas/Oregon/Ohio State will pay, legally, across an entire roster. Also, to your last question: Wisconsin vs Miami https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45552578/wisconsin-sues-miami-tampering-football-transfer
  5. Just got back from seeing it. The race scenes were fantastic. Loved seeing Lewis Hamilton and seeing him as one of the producers.
  6. I'm happy to be wrong
  7. Apparently mom is worse than the son. Likes to be the center of it all
  8. SPR Beach scene.
  9. The ol' Javonne Shepherd.
  10. See, that’s just not the case. I know exactly what I’d want if my child were to be stabbed to death.
  11. False. We need the temp on the stove to be turned up to max, so all who touch it suffer from undeniable and excruciating third degree burns. There is no way out of this except the changing of minds that can only come from suffering unspeakable pain. We're past the point of no return. We're committed. So let's do this.
  12. Gerry doesn’t like Ojo’s behavior relative to his current ability and he’s been fanboying JT3 for nearly 2 years now. Turntine is the much safer bet between the two. Ojo will look good on signing day, and will possibly leave before providing actual value on the investment.
  13. Well, at least he may not reproduce anymore.
  14. is @UTPhil2006 in denver yelling 'ball 5' ???
  15. Maybe every man, woman and child shouldn’t be carrying a deadly weapon.
  16. I can only speak to what the Goncalves family is saying publicly. I agree with them completely.
  17. BrickHorn

    Led Zeppelin

    I fucking love that song. Outside of LZ and LZII, it’s the best blues-inspired song they recorded. But I’d lump it in with Bring it on Home (another favorite of mine) as a hybrid. The front half is heavy, reverb soaked blues, but the original parts are pure rock. The first two albums include some straight up blues arrangements, just with a harder edge. Lemon Song, You Shook Me, and How Many More Times are good examples.
  18. Long time gf for some years now but wants a paternity test to make sure he's the father? Lmao. Doesn't want him to have any custody but wants money to pay for all pregnancy expenses. Sounds like a typical finessing whore.
  19. Yes and no. The evidence on such matters -- as in, actually gathering input from people after the fact -- indicates that Twice's take is the general rule. Not that I don't get Hitch's take; if one of my kids had been a victim, I'd almost certainly feel the same way. I have an overdeveloped sense of vengeance, I admit it. BUT...I'm also objectively rational enough to know that no matter how much I'd want that outcome, it is very likely, even certain, that once the perpetrator was dead...I'd still not have that closure. That is because some things are so horrific that no "closure" or peace can be obtained by external events. It can only be obtained by doing the one thing that so many of us are loathe to do: letting go. And again, I don't know if I could ever pull that off. I'd probably carry unspeakable pain, rage, and hate to my grave. But that's my weakness, of which I am well aware. I won't lie to myself and tell myself that I would obtain peace and closure that way. It's okay and human to want that revenge. Just don't lie to yourself and insist that vengeance is the way to peace and closure. Millennia of human experience tells us that's not the case.
  20. All of this. The AI provision banning any regulation for a decade was also scrapped. Maybe responsible governance can address that shit 4 years from now. The Dems need to take the House in 2026 and play hardball with the budget and try to chip away at the edges of this monstrosity.
