    I didn’t watch Sanders last night. That’s not that unusual though, I never watch the rebuttal. Two years is a long time, but I assume they’ll start to coalesce around captain Ron in the near future. 

    Agreed. If there's anything small-government conservatives can get behind, it's a requirement that teenage girls submit their menstrual cycle data to a Federal government database.

    Got a ps5 this week. I have had a series x since launch but I've been bored lately and decided I want to play the Sony exclusives. I haven't had a ps since og ps1 when I was in high school. Spider-Man is up first, with forbidden west probably up next. Gow ragnarok doesn't really interest me much, any other must play exclusives? 

    Anything by Naughty Dog. Uncharted series and Last of Us 

  3. What's truly hilarious about this is that the gun nuts will defend this position to the death, and then the next time a bunch of kids are murdered they will show up here and say things like "all we're saying is that we need reasonable gun restrictions, but all you guys want to do is ban all guns. why cant we come together on this?"

  4. 5th circuit just struck down a law prohibiting persons with domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms. Just as the founding fathers wanted it. Our resident gun nuts rejoice.

    I would have much preferred to see Bill find new purpose in helping Joel. 

    I'll put the below in spoilers because they're in the game, although clearly not in the show bc Bill's dead:

    Spoiler

    Joel and Ellie actually do meet Bill in the game, but Frank has left Bill. It becomes apparent that Bill remained the Bill we saw in the show during the first 4 year of the pandemic - alone, unwilling to take any risks, content to hole himself up alone. In the game, he and Frank appeared to have a falling out over this issue. The Bill from the game is a mean, bitter, selfish man who helps Joel and Ellie mainly because he "owes them one." Purely transactional. Bill views Joel's risky plan to transport Ellie as a good way to get oneself killed for no reason. Bill in the game is the cautionary tale of what Joel may become if he doesn't find something to love and care for. His only purpose was staying alive. The Bill from the show goes in the opposite direction.

    So what is the difference between runners and stalkers? In the last episode, they were running, so are those the runners? Have they shown a stalker yet?

    This fan wiki covers all the types of infected. Not that many. You can click on each type for a summary but majority haven't been in the show yet. And some of the descriptions may contain some minor spoilers

  7. I got busted plenty of times in high school in college. Few overnight stints in jail. Should've' died several times. None particularly noteworthy though.

    But I do have a pretty good one. Buddy of mine was back in Houston from his freshman year at UT. He's driving his car down River Oaks Blvd trying to find some chick's house who lived nearby. Its around midnight and its raining. He's hammered and probably going about 45 miles an hour when he realizes he's about to miss his turn and just hooks the car left. We immediately go into a skid and he runs through the median and destroys a newly planted tree - still had the stakes and cables to support it. Car is left sitting in the median. A Harris County Constable happened to be driving by and is on scene within 30 seconds of the crash. This guy gets out of his car and is about 6'4" wearing a cowboy hat and a rain slicker.  Constable is pissed. Asks a bunch of questions. No idea why he believed the lie that we hadn't been drinking. Maybe just didn't care. Eventually asks my buddy to get his ID and paperwork from the car.

    My friend has a glass pipe, coated in ready-to-be-scraped resin sitting in his cup holder. So he reaches in the car to obtain the info and also discreetly grabs the glass pipe and palms it while handing the ID to officer. When officer turns his back, my buddy throws the pipe as far as he can into the darkness. About 5 seconds later you could hear a loud "pop" come from the direction of the house where he threw it. Constable looks in that direction for a second, then walks to his car to check out the ID and paperwork. Makes us sit on the curb next to the car.

    Constable comes back a few minutes later. Still pissed, he begins to lecture my friend about driving and being reckless, etc. Then, he looks at the destroyed tree and says "do you have any idea how much these trees cost?

    My friend pauses for about 2-3 seconds, looks up at the constable, and says "what am I, an arborist?"

    To this day I'm not sure how he avoided going to jail that night, but that arborist line has become a regular part of all of our shared language.

    Explicit: “The primary [issue] isnt the [skin color]”

     

    less than 10 minutes later:

    Implied: “The issue is the skin color of the cops”

    Well, the first is about why police are emboldened to inflict terror upon communities they are supposed to be serving. The second is about the public reaction to said terror. Come on man.
