  1. it underlined what a racket the west 6th dui money pit is. but it also highlighted that the common man never gets a fair shake. ward was on the radio the next day and charges were dropped by drive time. most of the rest of us are fired as we show up at work the next day straight from downtown. please note i do not fault him for using any connections he could to get out from under the state's ridiculous dui revenue machine.
  2. still, that's some bullshit. you don't have to like someone for a fight to be reasonably fair, even if the guy deserves it. that door guy has a lot to answer for in my opinion. you have a psycho wielding a stick outside your bar. you're on 6th. the only reason you throw that guy out there is so he can fight an unfair fight. cops should be there any second, just wait out the stick guy. then, when the unarmed guy starts getting the upper hand with the stick, the door guy fucking grabs it. what the hell dude. once, i almost got arrested in leidseplein during a near riot during a street fight. short version: dude is ejected from club, resists, loses the fight, and is on his hands and knees in the street. out of the club, defeated, got what he deserved, i reckon. then one of the bouncers takes a running start and just free kicks the guy's head. near everyone went around went from slightly interested bystander to a very vocal enemy of the club right then in that moment. as the police were arresting the guy on the stretcher, i was trying to tell them it wasn't a fair fight and the guy had given up when the guy took a free run kick at him. that's when the dutch police said to me "you don't tell me what happened. i tell you what happened." me and my boss tried again and the ams cop basically implied i could join the unconscious guy if i wanted to keep talking about it. police be police no matter where you are. never talk to them ever.
  3. i accidentally happened on the first episode, where he kind of explains himself sort of about what happened near the end of his time at klbj. sadly, it wasn't too introspective, and he's got a lot of mental health work to do, but hopefully he eases into it and gets comfortable. always felt he had so much more to offer if he could just get out of his own way. starting off with fucking art acevedo as a guest is not the best way to win over a common man fan though, i will tell you that much. it's good to have friends in high places (ask jeff ward) but i think dale's impression of that relationship is extremely naive. but whatever, ain't my business. jeff ward hasn't changed too terribly much and i think that's a good thing? i haven't decided, because i can only really catch podcasts these days, and his is weird and janky and edited all strange.
  4. that's weird, because beaujolais is already a cheap merlot with a beaujolais label.
  5. he's got ted's looks too. just a trifecta. so the republicans will probably elect him because he's fucking terrible and insistent on tearing shit down. which i guess is a platform. or a bonfire. whichever.
  6. nevertheless, it was a rhetoric masterclass put on by a "confused old man"
  7. no shit, and biden was fucking masterful at playing them into showing out their division. for such a befuddled old man, he sure seems pretty clever.
  8. ending? lol. i'm starting to suspect that taylor sheridan is good at beginnings. yellowstone went off the rails in the second season, but it could just be that i'm tired of the lone wolf anti-hero protagonist archetype that is everywhere right now. "only i have a plan, but i'm not sharing it with anyone, even the audience" gets annoying after awhile. no wonder everyone hates you, protagonist. that goes for peaky blinders and gangs of london too. it's getting played out. the godfather came out 50 fucking years ago.
  9. for real. yall remember when al franken was an immature asshole that one time forever ago and posed to a picture where he was pretending to molest someone? yall remember how all the democrats rallied around him because they really needed his vote for this or that? oh, right. they didn't toss him out on his ear, because he was wise enough to look around, see the mood, understand that this meant he had to resign, and he gtfo, and nobody really talks that much about it any longer. neither santos nor most republicans seem to be able to understand that. good on mitt. good old boy that he is, goddamn if he doesn't look like someone i don't want to hate as a republican these days.
  10. this guy? fucking hell
  11. um, look, i'm just a common dumbass, but, uh, holing up in a vegas hotel room with a bunch of drugs, alex jones, and conspiracy video shit sounds like my idea of a party.
  12. goddammit, i snorted at "betty crocker's goon squad" that's funny shit.
  13. ever since i quit drinking, weed is the way i get through my days. it's so much better and so much different. but mostly, it's helped me in any number of ways. i won't get all new wavy on yalls asses, but it's had a massive positive effect on my anxiety, which can, at times, be fucking debilitating, if i'm honest. i'm a much more responsible and productive human being using weed instead of booze. which is kind of fucking irritating, but that's neither here nor there. it's a fucking joke that it's not legal. by itself, it would fund so much shit in this state, and the lege could actually find a way to cut our taxes oh wait lol
  14. me too. but he worked on this shit he said he was going to work on. it's not his job to be liked by me (well, ain't none of them got that job any more - i'm outside the city limits now), his job is to advocate on behalf of his constituents. he did a great job at that.
  15. lol this seems very important to you
  16. you know, as bad as i wanted that fat cunt ashley out, this situation with the saudis blows. as such, i'm sort of without a club. i'm kinda rooting fro brentford because that's a colleague's home club. but i don't really know where to turn. reflexively still watched the nufc match, and should feel pretty good about the place in the table and the cup final but it's all kind of meh.
  17. of course games are rigged. in some cases perhaps by competing interests even. what kind of weird pollyanna world do yall live in?

    LBGTQ

    it's pretty much in the term normal. people are generally dismissive or deride things that make them uncomfortable. so they revert to their version of normal. it's not about the patient feeling normal or better.
  20. so what? public servants always get to double dip. why not teachers who have put in the time?
  21. yall want austin politics go ahead and start an austin politics thread on cr. please and thanks.
  22. it's always better to not insult your audience's intelligence. it's the same fucking meal. you don't need a neon sign saying "hey, look, it's the same fucking meal!!!!" nor do you even need frank saying something like "just like our first meal." in case you haven't noticed non-verbal communication is a key element to this show, and was in the game, which is part of what made it so revolutionary.

    LBGTQ

    no you fucking weren't, dude. you were interested in being a fucking condescending prick because you got all this shit figured out, right? if you weren't, well, here i am telling you you are. you are a condescending prick. maybe you don't mean to be. but you are.

    LBGTQ

    i'm not sure of that. i mean, poe possibly, i guess, because he has made the completely ridiculous statement that he doesn't know any gay people in real life because none live near him because he lives in some fantasy land.
  25. i told yall for years that you were gonna get a la carte and you were going to pay the same if you were lucky but probably more. why? math. my argument at the time was simply "because tom brady needs to get paid." (while i'm patting myself on the back, i also once made the bold statement that people would stop stealing music once songs were available for $0.99 with guaranteed quality. that wasn't the only reason people stopped stealing music, but it was a big fucking contributor) there is no way to completely upend an industry from the distribution side but radically redesign the cost structure from top to bottom. at the end of the day the is a number on the other side of the = sign you need to reach. content creators need $x. ask @henrygandorf. he's not taking a paycut (well, he probably is, but he probably doesn't want to) because you watch content on a premium paramount plus subscription as opposed to the paramount network on a hulu subscription or through a triple play bundle on spectrum cable. it still costs him the same amount of work to produce that content. he doesn't care. he's got the same bills to pay as yesterday. tom brady doesn't care. lorne michaels doesn't care. so the math simply doesn't work without subsidy of some kind. you have to reach that $x. someone's paying. we're paying. that's how it's going to work. because we fucking need and love our content. also, if you want a tubi or freevee experience, they are out there, and they suck. you can also probably still download sketchy mp3s if you really wanted to do so. but you get what you pay for. there's a reason hbo was able to pull off that amazing episode of last of us this week. because i (and millions of others) pay for it. you want to pay $5/mo for content, that content is going to be hot garbage.
