  1. I definitely did not fit the model minority myth. I was horribad at math. Instead I excelled in art and various humanities subjects. I was not well prepared at all when I went to Texas. And the counselors were not very good. So I really admire all who graduated. I wish there was more resources to help me out like there are now. I promptly flunked out my 2nd year. Attempt number two this fall… going back for graduate degree.
  2. I dunno why but I just had a prepping for SAT verbal flashback with your use of braggadocio
  3. Would be funny if the writers found a way to add in Trump to compete with Nixon.
  4. Sam Richardson is such a great actor. Was fun to see him play such an asshole on Lasso.
  5. Yeah, for me... the big mysery that I want to learn more about is why the pact is so strict about stuff like that. There was an episode early on, where they menitoned why no elevators in the Silo.
  6. I for one am rooting for the return of R rated raunchy comedies back in theater.
  7. Pretty good discussion with a visual artist about the “controversy” https://youtu.be/r-C-EBNPUMk
  8. Man, Anson Mount has the best hair in Star Trek history
  9. By 1 game... this team kinda stinks. Don't see any sense of urgency either, which I recognize is just my frustration and I'm totally projecting. But they don't really seem to care.
  10. I mean the laxative dosage & instructions from what your doctor is gonna prescribe before the day of procedure should clean you out just fine unless you're super backed up. Had mine checked for the first time couple of weeks ago.
  11. Enjoyed it! Hopefully S2 has more episodes.
  12. Like a pound cake. Basically most of our cakes in the US
  13. Helo's cavalier attitude and strong opinions about stuff he doesn't know is... actually a bit amazing.
  14. Season 2 renewed. Apparently S1 covers half of the first book.
  15. Lost coast is really affordable and gorgeous with very linited scattered pockets of hopelessness, decline meth/opiods. No different than Texas coast of other places in my experience, and in some ways better people in the small towns. SF is really bad for petty crime and theft right now but I grew up in Houston in the 80s. To me it's overblown. Homeless issue is out of hand, but if I was homeless anywhere in the US I'd take free bus fair to Cali for the weather. Urban camping paradise. I lived out in the bay area for nearly 10 years. I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said. I just remember my first roadtrip up there shattering my myth of everything is perfect in the state. But some of those old lumber towns….yech.
  16. Even as you drive north, past wine country on the way up to the Oregon border... it's still really beautiful. But also some really depressing dead/dying towns. Where hearing banjos playing in the background seems appropriate.
  17. Summer... when I re-learn to get up early to run. I guess there are some benefits.
  18. Couldn’t make it through a random episode of the podcast in the past, but this documentary was really enjoyable. Really enjoy their dynamics with each other.
  19. Maybe we should er… work in some stretching/yoga into the team’s routine.
  20. <shrug> eh you got me on misusing the phrase
