  1. I'm less interested in this generation's perceived intolerance and more in what seems to be a generational embrace of "control and order" at an age range where typically the cohort is generally all about "freedom and fighting the man". The preceding generations have issued a blueprint that they start pretty "liberal" and they end pretty "conservative" as they age....hell the Baby Boomers were hippies and free love and all that back in the 60s. I gotta think the control they grew up with from devices monitoring them as they slept as babies, helicopter parent syndrome, where all their battles were fought for them, the control of phones and reduced ventures into the outside world, the control they themselves have to exhibit when they do go into the outside world because something (a phone) is watching them, recording them all the time and mistakes of my generation's youth stayed local while theirs can be put on display for all the world to see, etc all have some part to play in why "control" feels more comfortable to this age group. That embrace probably only deepens with the Alphas.
  2. Ok fair Kinda makes your earlier post on why the man was killed premature bullshit doe.
  3. I mean can’t we all agree that even if you are not interested in “hearing from the killer” that I dunno it might be at least something to catch the person first understand what the authorities believe to be background and motive before we sew this one all up in a tidy ball?
  4. Today I am learning the world is full of Daniel Kafees Haven’t caught a suspect, haven’t interviewed a witness and already have got this one all figured out and plea bargained.
  5. Dude could have at least shown his level of commitment by smashing a TV in anger like the NFL and College clickbait dudes do.
  6. Well, a large portion of Hispanics are catholic, and then a lot of black people are of some protestant faith, soooo
  7. Concur....Mike White levels of hotness.
  8. It doesn't. It would be nice if we solved the gun problem to such a point that there was no look over there, "BUT the gangs", Instead many won't admit it is a much larger problem and just whatabout this and whatabout that to keep any real progress from being made. It should actually be some of these people's wet dreams for it to really ONLY be the gangs....considering who generally is in gangs. The hard core pipe hitting truth is that both Charlie Kirk and Melissa Hortman were victims of America as we know it. Take it away Donald....
  9. The person of interest is getting them one of them free prisoner sex change operations....so the narrative all checks out 😎
  10. Should be based off the looks of it. I used to have a Polaris before I went Dolphin robot. Obviously still have the return for it in the wall. I did what you did at one point as well and that was the solution.
  11. You need to remove the rest of the white piece that is still threaded into the wall and get you a whole new one to screw in (to the black socket surrounding it) Since you broke it off you are probably going to need some needle nose pliers or something like that to grab the rest of it and turn it. Remember righty tighty, lefty loosey.
  12. I refuse to believe the death of some influencer is going to be Aldhani but this fucking timeline.
  13. I mean we are pretty much allies with Rome on the list of fallen empires so I don't see what the problem is
  14. We’ve done this one. The seats are pretty full during big games. They ain’t ever going to be full for SJSU. It isn’t changing
  15. The Bas Rutten appearance takes me back about 20-25 years to the glory days of early Internet videos
  16. I dunno if they are really more intolerant. I tend to think that with technology and social media the intolerance is more broadly known and glommed on to by other pockets of disaffected/intolerants. In that way, it is no different than all the other age groups. We've managed to bring the worst of us together.
  17. My daughter (no pics) worked for 8 weeks the summer after her sophomore year in Malaysia (KL) and Bali (each for about 4 weeks). Pretty sure she would tell you she enjoyed KL more than Bali. She likes big cities and there was a lot to do there. She also took a weekend flight down to Singapore and loved that and wants to return. Also did a weekend up on George Town Island and thought that was great.
  18. It's still a good 15 yards which if you give up gonna run out of time anyway.
  19. Conjugal visits in Huntsville?
  20. What a terrible couple of throws. Bailed out on the first one, not so much on the second one.
  21. Wesley. It's Texas. You're black.
