  1. I honestly don't think he does. The game has changed and if he doesn't win he's cooked.
  2. Yea there is no way this isn't going to suck. And it's gonna be so sad and depressing.
  3. Most of our parents for on level kids don't seem to hardly care how their kids are doing in school. I rarely get an email from them.
  4. At the school I teach our two AP Lang teachers both quit in the first semester last year leaving students with long terms subs for a major AP class all year lol. In Social Studies we don't have much of a problem with this but in math and science especially they have teachers randomly quitting all the time. I also have kids who miss literally the entire semester. I have no idea where they are skipping to but they never show up except for maybe the very end of the 9 weeks. The biggest crazy thing I see now is kids constantly skipping test day and expecting to just auto make it up without notifying me even in my AP history classes. It's like kids have zero sense of respect or how to interact with authority anymore since Covid. And the parents don't either. Millennial parents are either completely apathetic or they are overbearing. There is no in between with them. And I honestly don't give a fuck. They pay us shit in Austin area compared to the cost of living and I have basically three different jobs.
  5. I've watched Vietnam with my classes and I honestly think it's his most well done.
  6. Shoah by Lanzmann is basically the gold standard for documentaries, 9 hours long but really worth the watch if you love history and want to learn a lot more about witnessing genocide from all sides. Some of the interviews are chilling and devastating. They Shall not Grow Old by Peter Jackson is an excellent colorized documentary about Britain and the First World War
  7. Yea this. I basically didn't watch after the mid-90s so have no recollection of the shows and stars after that except for the few glances when my nephews were watching in the 2000s.
  8. They always do some stupid shit like this. Elevated bar snacks is super lame.
  9. Season 2 has grown on my over the years as one of my favorite seasons of television ever. Gonna rewatch yet again after finishing The Americans.
  10. It's the phones plain and simple along with social media because of the phones and social isolation because of the phones and depression and anxiety because of the phones etc.
  11. I never bet on games and I even stopped playing fantasy football like 10 years ago. The focus on betting and gambling is horrendous and I'm sick of hearing about it. After my Chiefs won the super bowl a kid on the baseball team at my school asked if I bet on the game. So like drugs kids are being advertised to and it is normalized for them to be betting on games now. Like wtf? I'm sure there are just so many gambling addicts now compared to what there were just a few years ago with it being everywhere now.
  12. i'm 46 and am quite glad I never had kids. I only have to worry about us for the most part.
  13. My wife and I have nothing tying us down here. After she gets through her principal cert we are moving to Colorado or Chicago area. Maybe Washington State so we can flee if need be lol. I remember asking my Modern French history professor at KU whether or not the Nazis could happen here and he unequivocally said no chance. This was like 2005 or so. There was a real cult of European liberalism and democracy back then. As a scholar of modern Germany as well as a teacher of AP US History and AP Euro I have seen and worried about the parallels for a long time. Any scholar of African American studies or the South/West knows that America hasn't been the liberal democratic paradise the white middle and upper middle class left have led us to believe. And it's gonna be too late for them once it actually happens. They're not ready for it and will have no clue what to do. The rich will do what they always do which is to flee somewhere else. But tons of people are gonna be stuck in the middle of it. Some you thought were super liberal will begin siding with the oppressors. It's depressing to even think about but I kind of just dgaf anymore.
  14. The writing is beyond bad and there aren't even funny young stars on there except for maybe Bowen Yang. I've watched maybe two episodes this season.
  15. This series has been terrific. I will definitely be buying it on blu ray if they release one for the special features.
  16. It's way cheaper, more addictive and now everyone is used to it. Addicts want the most insane high and fent gives them that. The reason its in things like coke is that drug dealers in small operations don't clean the machines they use to mix fent into their opioids so it contaminates the coke. Almost all heroin is laced with fent now. It's all about maximizing profits and taking advantage of so many people in deep despair.
  17. My nephew's wife and two friends died the weekend of the super bowl after snorting what they thought was coke but it was contaminated with fent. That's two people in consecutive years that are a part of my extended family that have died the exact same way. She has a precious 2 year old girl that now grows up without a mom. She was 24 years old.
  18. Can't get any more seasons of Mindhunter on Netflix or another platform but let's churn out more season of this dead franchise.
  19. Did your parents have any other children that lived? You're grotesque. You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece.
  20. I refuse to watch the Med seasons because of her. She's just awful. I'm an addict. I wish I had the strong moral fiber you had because Sandy is the worst. The boat just completely sucks because of her in every way.
  21. Sinner has been playing amazing the last several weeks/months and is ready for this moment. Djok couldn't handle it which is and isn't surprising. He was missing shots he normally doesn't miss and consistently doing so.
