  1. i am always late to the party for most shows but i just finished S1 of this...and i don't think i've literally laughed out loud this much at a tv show in years 🤣🤣🤣

    has it won all the Emmys? bc it should win all the Emmys. every episode has been hysterical.

    i mean seriously the vampire council meeting with Wesley on sketchy wifi Skype? ahahahaaahaa 🤣

    The Dow jumped another 500 points today.  My 401k is up 10%.  

    That was the standard from January 20, 2017 to January 19, 2021 so it's the greatest economy in world history! 

    congratulations Joe Biden!!

    And Jon Gruden, rightfully so.

    But cancel culture most certainly exists.  LGBT is trying to get Netflix to pull his stuff. You’ve got LGBT show runners quitting shows in protest and you can bet they’ll be litigious. 

    Nobody cancelled Kaepernick. It turns out he wasn’t a very good QB. 

    ...and Netflix has said "yeah, no, we're not pulling shit, Chapelle is awesome(moneymaker) and he's not going anywhere". nobody is cancelling him.

    but someone has quit working there bc of it, which is totally appropriate and the way to walk the walk, good for them.

    and Netflix has also said, explicitly, 'we encourage free thought/speech and support our employees speaking their minds, good or bad'.

    and the trans employee initially fired for crashing the meeting was reinstated and Netflix publicly apologized.

    there's literally nothing to litigate here.

        Seriously for a second, let me help you out bro. I know you meant well, but this is truly a low brow effort. There is a ton of low hanging fruit readily available for the picking had you just grabbed the proverbial step-stool and just reached your stubby little arms up and snagged a few. You could've come with Steve Sarkisian being a drunk, us being on our 4th corch in a decade, or even how we have been wandering the CFB desert since you joined the SEC. The only problem is this isn't Texags. We aren't a bunch of sunshine pumpers over here. Any dressing down of us we've already done ourselves. However, after taking the time to sign up and tapping your index finger on your nose in deep thought, you decided to go with the above posts. So let me show you how it's done.

      The Fighting Texas A&M Aggies are now sitting at 82 years since they last hoisted a NC trophy. The University of Texas at Austin, you know the Flagship university of the state with roughly half the acceptance rate as your precious aggy, would have to smash 3 of its 4 NC trophies, and then go another 66 years of what you've been giggling at the last decade in order to match the ineptitude in College Station. Aggy is the real life manifestation of Groundhog's Day. Imagine waking up every morning, despite never seeing the Aggies successful in football your entire life, and still believing the ags are gonna win. Purgatory sounds about right. However, there is one thing your football team and fanbase has done exceptionally well, and that is provide laughs for us for damn near 3 generations. And for that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. There are things that can be counted on. The sun will rise in the morning, and the Aggy Annual Rollercoaster Ride(tm) will come off the tracks somewhere in October. The clock is ticking ag, and winter is coming. Winter is coming. It's going to get cold in the SEC West soon. You should build a bonfire.

      See, that wasn't difficult at all. I took the low hanging fruit and just tossed it into a paragraph, capping it off with an insensitive comment about your bonfire. Now take a few notes and come back under a new name and try a bit harder.

  5. well, that's too bad. i for one did not find your schtick overly offensive and sometimes even appreciated your viewpoint, but there are definitely posters with greater fire in their belly that you frequently enraged. guess you FAFO finally.  

    for the record, you are the reason i have suggested a rep-neutral eyeroll🙄 reaction. i don't think i ever found you worthy of an actual neg but your Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer schtick could often make my eyes roll out of my head lol.

    this sounds like a frightful policy.   Particularly from the group who were warned that, left to their natural end, would completely decimate the country in under a year.  They burned the country down last year and stoked civil disobedience to the point of violence, over and over and over, ruined any semblance of a free and fair democratic election and the dipshits in the "Cloak Room" fucking ate it up, 900, everyday to the point to where they lie about criminal threats of violence here just to keep their fucking face out of the mirror.

    Your idea is a noble one (not negging in the Cloak Room) , but you are speaking to lunatics who can only have their drivel paid attention to by absolutely shutting down intelligent debate, or, worse, honest discussion.   The mods here are frightened of them as well, which isn't surprising, but it is disappointing. 

     

    These assholes gleefully cheered on the most corrupt idea ever to consider the office of t

     

    But, Brisket is Brown and Subliminal is gay, in case you haven't been reminded in the last 5 minutes in the Cloak Room.

    THAT point needs to be made over and over in that shit room or else, much like Biden gets away with it only with the complicit censorship, can survive that "Cloak Room" circle jerk because dissent is banned.   You are trying to reason with the wrong crew.   

    These are the destroyers of America, Americana, the Constitution, your children, education, medicine, scientist's credibility, monetary policy, foreign policy, not being branded globally as beta male pussy incompetent, thick,  talentless corruption and any pretense of honesty.

     

    Miss me yet?

     

    But remember...in case you forgot....Brisket is brown and Subliminal is gay. 

     

      This is 99 percent of the Cloak Room and everything that's embarrassing the State of Texas

  7. she was...and that reminds me of something the movie did do that surprised me...it made me feel sorry for Livia.

    specifically, when Johnny came home to the surprise party and she was beaming, clearly so happy to see him, but he just immediately started in with the negative, bitching at her about the black family moving in like she could do anything about it, embarrassing her in front of everybody, and this was their first time reunited after however long he'd been in prison...i felt bad for her and totally empathized with her reaction in that scene (well ok  maybe not the breaking dishes part lol).

    TOTAL dick move on his part and it made me think more about how much of Johnnyboy's torment she had to endure over the years and how that likely affected her personality.

    Quits mean that employees are finding other job opportunities and are taking them.  Essentially there is a fuck ton of moving around going on in the economy rn.  It’s not an indicator that tells you anything without more economic and data context.  

    that sounds like a good thing, people having options and taking them.

    Are we taking bets on whether Abbott fires the employee that Huffines is on a rampage over?

    there's a woman with that last name that is a CPS Specialist IV at DFPS. her whole job is to advocate and protect children, and she's probably pretty good at it given the classification. if Abbott orders her fired...man, i don't even know,  that's like next level fucked up.

    Well, it was hilarious, so clearly y’all have no sense of humor. 

    i mean i normally agree but this felt like he did this special just to have a 30 minute airing of grievances against one specific group. and i think he's got some legitimate grievances. but that's not exactly your standard stand-up comedian tv special set.

    it wasn't bad, and it was thought provoking, but i didn't find it very funny.
