  1. To be clear I’m just drawing some parallels with current events with the book I’m reading that post Civil War South with the Republicans trying to push civil rights initially. But by the time Grant left office and Hayes took over the Republicans have absolutely lost the political will on civil rights and shifted to economic interests in the North and West. Not to mention Haye’s own election had its issues with figuring out who won all the votes just like Biden/Trump with Democrats alleging all sorts of shenanigans without proof. History really is fascinating.
  2. It’s really fascinating because nothing is new. All the stuff we bitch and worry about it’s happened before. The recalcitrance of some of living in a multi-racial democracy/society. Government civil right policies and institutions weakened over time because priorities shifted and/or lack of political will to see things through.
  3. We need something like this here in the US: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/fallen-monument-park Also currently reading Civil War by Other means for school... #@$@ me, the war/lost cause never ended for some in the South. It's a shame how much of our population wants to ignore this reality.
  4. Silly fun. During certain shots, Swan looks a bit like Sela Ward.
  5. By now you should be well aware that people are irrational. You’re both correct. Why’s that so hard to accept?
  6. Maybe it’s getting older and being more aware, but writers have got to find a different ways for cops to be motivated besides the “we put our lives at risk every day” type of dialogue.
  7. Thanks and yeah good points—I agree! I might play aorund with this in post and see if I can fix some of it. This was one of those snap a pic before I drown in a cloud of midges pics. I was not prepared for the environment. 😂
  8. Random shots. Edinburgh Getting eaten alive by midges in the highlands back in June Copenhagen Trying to channel Swayze... Chipinque park in Monterrey
  9. Is this satire that I just don’t get?
  10. Less preening and more film study and bp.
  11. At that level does one really care?
  12. Why? Is there an English speaking policy with the Dodgers or MLB? With that said he and other players using the service probably should learn since those translators are most likely not translating exactly what the players are saying.
  13. Well that was exciting
  14. Horrrible
  15. Boy... your definition of didn't work out may be quite different from most.
  16. My speed run is tonight so I splurged on 2 Little Ola's egg sandwiches for lunch. With tip ~$20. Something tells me it's way tastier than anything from pluckers!
  17. Good grief, 1,600 calories...
  18. It's concerning despite the data that most businesses and citizens don't feel positively about the economy. The admin can't solve biases and stupididity but they really need a plan/action to manage this.
  19. Ooomph… getting hard to assume positive with that comment.
  20. Lol, the first time I went to visit Idaho to visit friends and explore.. that's what my dad brought up.
  21. I have two friends from there originally that moved back to Idaho. From their stories it sounds worse than TX. I'll keep enjoying it as a visitor... one of them has a great cabin right outside of Yellowstone.
  22. Well that was a craptacular series
  23. CA is on the tright track of teaching media literacy to their kids. But overall, as citizens we just lack a lot of critical thinking... or just having the ability to pause, reflect, and think about what we consume with any semblance of curiosity.
  24. At least he can put the quality education he's received from aggy to use...
