  1. I was just trying to say that if there is a manifesto left for the police to find, I am not expecting it to be truthful. Obviously the right will have their delusions regardless of what they find.
  2. If this is at all coordinated, the "manifesto" is going to advance the narrative that this was antifa/false flag/leftist violence.
  3. I just wish there was an option to ignore people who quote people on my ignore list. There are like 20 threads in DT and CR that should be focused on news or policy or whatever that are constantly derailed by these pointless exchanges.
  4. Oh good, I'm glad Gil thought it was important to pay his respects and remind everyone that he has the all-time shittiest, most uncultured take on anything ever.
  5. Trump will art of the deal this thing and TACO it, Elon knows too much. He absolutely won the election for him, and obviously the Epstein file thing is not a bluff.
  6. If it's a new service, why tf don't they send a tech out so that you at least have someone there to troubleshoot it rather than going back and forth with their tier 1 support. The tech may not be especially savvy, but he can see that you have multiple devices, hardwired and bypassing the router that gets abysmal speeds using standard tests. Have you ever done a tracert? I would run a tracert to ookla, Google DNS, a cdn, whatever you can think of and see where it goes. Frontier techs are probably just running a connectivity test from their fiber distribution point/hub directly to your modem. Yeah, no shit it works fine, there is nothing between here and there. Your other tests are actually making multiple hops to reach other networks, and something's slowing it down along the way. You may need to demonstrate that concept to them until they get someone to help you that understands. Do all the dumbass shit they suggest though, eventually they will hit the end of their script and escalate.
  7. This shit was kinda wild.
  8. I'll preface this by saying that my love of outrageously bad movies is alarming to many, especially my wife. Mamoa's character work in Fast X is just phenomenal. He takes the unhinged villain role to a totally new place, and it's fantastic.
  9. I made it through 4 episodes, holy shit what a nosedive. Did ChatGPT write this script during the strike?
  10. It will be a disgrace many times over, that much I know. My favorite sporting event will likely be ruined by some combination of shameful foreign diplomatic antics, human rights violations, and blatant unprecedented corruption. It's too infuriating to even try and imagine the ways it will be debased.
  11. My kids' elementary school (Hays CISD) has already announced they are cutting STEM completely for next year to avoid staff reductions.
  12. Every episode has 3-4 moments that are legit the most bizarre situations I've seen on television. The funniest thing so far (I think we are through EP 4) was the lingering shit on Nathan in the chicken place where the extra was pretending to dip and eat a chicken strip. I laughed so fucking hard, ran it back and watched again laughing even harder.
  13. I would have been happy with a tie going into this match but damn, we dominated that game for 75 or so minutes. Vancouver keeper seems like a badass based on the games I've watched this year. I remember him from previous years, but he seems locked the fuck in this year. Bukari was really causing problems tonight, I wish Uzuni was making more of an impact. Sabovic had his best two performances Wednesday and tonight, he is starting to look like a great rotational replacement for Dani or Sanchez. Regarding Wolff taking corners, I agree that he is not doing well, but I honestly don't think we have better options. We haven't had anyone who could provide good corner service since Fagundez.
  14. If it's any consolation, I watched Silo season 2 with brightness turned up all the way and still couldn't see a goddamn thing. It was worse than GoT dragons at night.
  15. Unsurprising result at Cincinnati, but for a minute there I thought we might be able to take a point on the road. We seem to play a two-man game once we get into their third, and as a result we need someone to make an amazing play in order to get a legit scoring chance. Right now, that's pretty much Wolff, sometimes Biro or Bukari. We should have a lot more depth to our tactics at this point. Not necessarily more complicated, but there should be more facets to our strategy.
  16. 7 minutes plus stoppage time, and I feel sorta confident we won't get another shot off.
  17. Evander just murders us every time. I member having a legit 10 one year.
  18. No shots in goal other than the PK. Wolff is doing work this second half though.
  19. In exchange, China will concede 80% reciprocal friendship.
  20. He has grown on me. If Tristan had gone home, he would be a dark horse to win it imo.
  21. Lots of us did, but Dani has not really progressed imo.
  22. That was really terrible soccer until Wolff, Sanchez and Biro came in. Vazquez still should have scored twice prior to the switch. And that second El Paso goal was a cluster fuck ending with a missed save. But El Paso should not have been able to hang with us, that's bad fucking news. Or just more confirmation that this team's standing was smoke an mirrors before losing by multiple goals in 3 out of the last 4 league games. I believe this team is hot garbage without Sanchez and Wolff on the field. I'd be fine if Rubio didn't see the field again.
  23. Fuck yes. The two best shows for me are Foundation and Severance, and both have massive gaps between seasons. I wish I could cryogenically freeze the part of my brain that stored that information because I can't remember shit without a rewatch.
  24. "Obviously our economy sucks..." Nooo, YOUR LIFE sucks. The economy has nothing to do with that. Also, if you think the economy sucks now, hoo boy, the second half of 2025 is going to be lit.
