  1. S2 really does seem to focus more on the overall story arc and intersecting but separate storylines, where the bits in S1 seem to finish more. Gilroy's writing definitely doesn't lend itself as much to fast-paced action as much as rewarding repeated viewings. That was definitely the case on Rogue 1; initial reactions were that the final third made up for a slow first two acts, while later on people really started to enjoy the character development in the beginning more.
  2. 100% "Oh, you've had two people come by to install flooring here and both messed it up? Let me spend the rest of my weekend helping you install it properly." True story. Same guy trying to pass the Bar.
  3. wrong sport 🤣🤣
  4. Well, aggy certainly doesn't. But be warned: There are Plan II grads about these parts. Nerding out over Mongol westward expansion may occur. Khan's open attitude towards technology is one of the things Michael Prawdin cites as one of the key elements of Mongol military success. Prawdin's history of the Mongols also gave us one of the legendary scenes of cinema: It's right there on page 90. None of Howard's stories had this scene.
  5. This is the kind of thing an aggy sports message board could never even dream of having on it.
  6. naw that's more a midpoint between Chinese and Siberian don't look khazakh at all
  7. Thing is, if you look em up, they actually look a lot more like this. Like somewhere between Turkish and Chinese
  8. Someone explain this one to me? my kid's gen z and his and his peers' reaction was the top photo... what am I missing here?
  9. I feel ya, man. A friend of ours just moved here a few years back from a former Soviet bloc country (if I say the name, the memes will get outta hand). He was a lawyer there, and he's gone to USC night school plus studying for the bar. He's coming up on attempt #3 soon. So take your problem, add a decade in age, and sprinkle on some "not my first language" fun in there, and you've got yourself a fun ol time.

  14. What you own is your own kingdom What you do is your own glory What you love is your own power What you live is your own story In your head is the answer Let it guide you along Let your heart be the anchor And the beat of your song when i picked up the bass this was the first song I tried to learn
  15. I always hated this one. I can't describe why. Good music, but... ugh.
  16. A hero. Nobility. God's chosen of the order of burnt orange. That only looks like a plastic helmet; it's the king's crown. Though surrounded by a sea of maroon, he sinks not; nay, this man rises above it, undefiled.
  17. kp75dhcd064e1.mp4 Especially this goddamn motherfuckin LEGEND.
  18. I love the racist/sexist "but the demographics!" bullshit.
