  1. I'm excited to see George and Stevie. I love Phoebe Bridgers and Megan Thee Stallion. It's called having eclectic music tastes and loving live music. I like Billie Eilish too. Why do I want to see Foo Fighters or Pearl Jam yet again if I can see other acts? And I love FF and Pearl Jam btw.
  2. I love this lineup. See you all there for weekend 1.
  3. That'd be like me reading all of David Irving's Holocaust denial writings and speeches just before a grad seminar on Nazi Germany and/or the Holocaust.
  4. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore with Jim Crow terms such as "Purity Vote."
  5. I hate adults who don't do the readings before discussion. Gtfo of here and educate your dumbass.
  6. Being afraid of black voices and intersectional experiences is all you had to say aggy scum. Maybe read a few fucking books before coming over here and dumping your bullshit fear for all.
  7. People will be like I waited two years for this fucking shit?
  8. That scene was all kinds of awesome. Poor Mikey Day.
  9. Why only two episodes? I just want to finish this tonight.
  10. Ah the dude who just got fired for harassment.
  11. Is he the one who just got eliminated or is that Gabriel?
  12. Sara's gotta be the favorite so far right? And she's boring af like almost everyone else this season.
  13. It is quite healthy to have an open discussion about this after a horrible death like Jake's. Silence is unhealthy, unproductive and the status quo.
  14. He's actually dead so he can't laugh anymore. And we were both machine gunners and NCOs for the same gd unit. Gtfo with your melodrama. And no this is a unique death that resonates with people much like Basilone's death resonated with people.
  15. Because a tragic death by someone like Jake resonates with people that are connected to UT or football or whatever. It absolutely matters that people know what happened to him. It could save someone's life.
  16. Did the show Happy Endings write that article?
  17. I don't think he's gonna be able to make the Marine Corps Ball next November.
  18. Drops tomorrow on Amazon Prime. Gonna be tough to watch I think but hopefully it is good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pq5Usc_JDA https://tv.avclub.com/barry-jenkins-outdoes-himself-in-the-transcendent-under-1846804108 Barry Jenkins outdoes himself in the transcendent Underground Railroad In late April, a clip from Chelsea Handler’s 2016 series, Chelsea Does, in which a Confederate apologist compared enslaved human beings to farm equipment, went viral. What the man tells Handler isn’t that shocking to Black people educated in the South, but it’s still horrifying: “People were taken care of. Would you take a tractor that you just bought brand new and tear it up, misuse it? No, you’re going to take care of it, ’cause you just spent a pile of money on that. Those people produced their crops, worked their fields, so you’re not gonna mistreat something like that.” Cora Randall (Thuso Mbedu), the hero of Amazon Prime Video’s The Underground Railroad, is not a tractor. She’s a person who has never tasted pure, untainted freedom but nonetheless thirsts for it. No matter what the Constitution might’ve said at the time, freedom is the natural human condition and Cora is driven to escape her captivity. This puts her, like every enslaved person, in existential conflict with an evil institution. After all, a tractor or a piece of furniture won’t defy you, nor will it slip away at the first opportunity. Slavery could only function through the deliberate and ongoing dehumanization of a people. It was a torturous process that would begin anew with the birth of every Black child, but one that never fully succeeded, despite the chains and whips, because the human spirit is not so easily destroyed.
  19. Why? It's been like a week. We're all adults here who should be able to discuss this in a respectful manner. Silence seems just weird at this point.
  20. Fentanyl and its derivatives seem to be a common thread in a lot of these overdose deaths. They just drop fucking dead without any time to react. Many times they think they are taking oxy or something but it's fake oxy laced with fentanyl and every batch has a different amount with the line between getting high and overdosing being razor thin.
  21. An ex works for the county and they all know so I also know. I understand the respect angle but when does the statute of limitations end?
  22. How is wondering how someone died tragically being an asshole?
