No, I don’t think so. I do wonder though how people like Cruz and our esteemed governor, who share 80% of the politics of the shooter, can keep pulling from that well when the costs of doing so have been made so manifest.
It wins them elections.

I work at a large tech company that had a ton of computer scientists and engineers working with NASA leading up to and during the launch. Today one of our SVPs in Houston did a livestream panel discussion with several of the guys who were involved, and it was really cool. One of them was 22 during the launch, and the oldest of this group was 27. It's crazy thinking how young they were.

Will and Lucas aren’t really needed anymore. They’re redundant as characters and other newer characters like robin or max add more to the show. Will’s only role is to inform them when the monsters are near but is that really necessary. Lucas’ main contribution was identifying the fireworks which actually could have been anyone and the fireworks could have dropped from the story without much of a difference. Susie was on for 5 minutes and had a bigger role at least as comic relief.
Glad they brought back Murray. He’s the best non-main character.
I got the feeling that they are trying to set up a "Will is gay" storyline at some point. Not sure how it will work into the overall narrative but the "It's not my fault you don't like girls" comment from Mike seemed really pointed.

Yeah, after Princess Bride I think of him in Twister. He's really found a niche playing douches.

the episode where they lose cheddar is a great one.
Love the Cinco de Mayo one. The discussion of Mr. Hootsworth's bandana color always makes me lol.

RIP, Cheddar. You never were a common bitch.

I guess it's not beyond belief that O'Hara would be macking on her teammate, but I believe she's straight. I thought the two above are Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris, who are engaged.

The gravitron operator called him magnum, to help along the slower viewers.
Speaking of, the rides at the fair were exactly what I remember going to every year at grape fest and main st days.
My son and I rode the Gravitron last year at the annual carnival in the Dell Diamond parking lot. I'm pretty sure they hadn't cleaned the inside since the 80s.

I think we can talk spoilers here, but if not, mods can delete this.
My son (11) and I binged the whole thing today. The last episode killed me. Got super dusty. I really enjoyed the whole season. A few random thoughts/observations:
- I'm glad they let Billy redeem himself at least somewhat. I'm sad, however, that there will be no more cocky lifeguard Billy. Because I wanted to see more of his...character development.
- My son predicted Billy would die because the main deaths in the previous seasons were also characters whose names started with a B. This prediction led us to the tubes to figure out what Hopper's first name was because neither of us could remember. (It's Jim.) This gave us temporary relief, but when he and Joyce made their date plan in episode 7-ish I figured something bad would happen to him.
- Loved Erica, although her character was a little cliched.
- Dusty and Suzie singing the theme from The Neverending Story was fantastic, as was her giving him shit about not knowing Planck's Constant. "Phoebe Cates, but hotter." LOL.
- I'm glad we got more Murray this season.

Dog: "Damn. Are you ever going to clean behind the sofa?"
The sofa is normally pushed up against the wall. Wasn't till we pulled it away that we saw what was under it.

How did we let this get off the first page?
Here's my now 70-lb, 7-month-old puppy still thinking he's a lap dog.
And here's Rocket and Edgar after we picked them up from the dog ranch after boarding for a week. That's my 11-yo son under them. You can't tell from the pic but Rocket has his front legs around my son's neck. Like a hug.

My kids really want to see it. Ok for 7 year old?
My 7-yo loved it. So did I, and my husband and my 11-yo. It could've been more than it was, but...I guess I wasn't expecting a Best Picture nominee, and if you go into it just looking to see a good movie, I think you'll be really happy. It has rom-com elements for sure, but also real humor, and it's fun thinking about what the world would be like without the Beatles and other stuff.

The 6-month-old puppy has finally surpassed his big brother Edgar. Puppy is at 65.2 lbs today, and Edgar is 59 lbs at 4 years old. He's gonna be a big'un.

The dogs stood and barked at the couch till we looked under it.

I need some help finding a tough dog toy. My Boston Terrier will instantly destroy anything that I give him, unless he doesn't like it. Then he just ignores it. I got him a classic Kong but unless it has peanut butter in it, he's not too keen about it. I got him a big donut (made of a tough-looking corduroy material), he tore it open. Got him a Kong ring, he tore off the covering (tennis ball kind of felt). Tonight, I got him a Kong bone that has crackling plastic inside of it, like an empty plastic water bottle. He tore off the top of it.
I got him a water buffalo horn once and he likes it, but the smell is so horrible, my wife can't stand it. I'm at a loss.
Where'd you get the water buffalo horn? My two are insanely heavy chewers and these are the only things that last, and I've never had one that smelled. We've also had luck with really thick rope toys.

I don't believe in punishing the women who have had abortions. I am sincerely sorry if I have conveyed that. I do not hate them. I do not think any of my posts say something like that, but I never have felt that way.
I hate that they ever felt like it was a good( or best) option to have an abortion. I wish abortion clinics would go out of business, not because of the law, but rather lack of business.
1. While what the doctors are performing is legal, I have the conviction that what they are doing is profoundly immoral. Again, i don't blame the woman for choosing a legal option in dealing with their pregnancy. I do believe there is plenty of burden on the doctors who perform the abortion.
2. I do believe the man who pushes a woman to have an abortion is a coward. Own your business. If you didn't want a child, or acknowledge the possibility with the woman; don't have sex with her. I have walked this walk, but on this board, that means nothing compared to political playbooks and agendas. If men would man the fuck up, our society would be way better off. that isn't a very popular stance, but I absolutely feel that way. If more men did what they were supposed to do, women wouldn't feel so isolated and scared as fuc( I don't say that as a shot at women. i say it with the voice of experience.)
"Oh slorch, that isn't how we live. That's too much guilt and blame for us. Bullshit. It's accountability... for the men of the world.
I have said repeatedly that i hate the notion that pregnancy just magically appears out of thin air... Generally speaking, two people own it. I believe it is a 50/50 endeavor. that also drives why I get pissed off about people claiming it is a women's issue. It is not... or at least it should not be.
I know. I am idealistic as fuck. Part of it comes from my childhood background where my bio parents could have just as easily aborted me as what they did in real life, which was to neglect and abuse me during the 2 different chances they had before I was adopted before the age of 4. Secondly, I have lived this whole freaking situation, where my now wife had to tell me she was pregnant, and i could see the outright fear in her face. She had no idea what I was going to say. When I say i get the fear women have, I think there is some substance there. On the flip side, there was no way i was going to not own my actions. 26 years later, we are still married and have raised a family. maybe that's immaterial. maybe that's trivial... i can understand that take. I feel it matters to own what you do. I was man enough to father a child, I at least needed to support the mom and raise the kid, even if we had not gotten married... i'm rambling sorry.
The world's bigger than lil ole slorch and we need practical solutions. I get that. My suggestions are practical, but not always easy.
The politics of this turn me way off. I do believe if we focused on being responsible human beings, our society would be in a much better spot... but where's the political capital to be gleaned in acting right?
I appreciate this. Thank you. I'll have more to say in the morning but wanted to acknowledge this tonight.

I do.
Posted earlier in the thread about raising kids who won't get abortions.
It's amazing how it's an "ole slorch disagrees with us on this particular point, so he opposes everything."
Not even close, my friend. But in today's society, disagreement equals "he hates me."
Not true at all. i just disagree on some of the proposed solutions.
I'm genuinely curious as to your thoughts (and those of the other pro-lifers in this thread) on punishing men who fund/approve of/push women to have abortions, or if you think any punishment should rest solely on the woman. I haven't seen any of you address this topic although it's been brought up several times.

Beto is on fire. And I just saw this, which pretty much proves his point from yesterday. Members of the press, what the fuck indeed.
