  1. Damn shame this was made.  Horrible compared to the original trilogy even though the cast  had some stars.  One actor that I normally can’t stand and find hideous is awkwafina but strange enough, at the end, when she didn’t have the crazy make up and hair, she looked decent.  
     

    bangability rankings:

     

    1 Sandra bullock - classic beauty. Have had a crush on her forever

    2 Ann Hathaway.  Underrated body

    3 Kate blanchett

    4 Rihanna 

    5 awkwafina.  Yep I said it

    6 Helena bonham Carter 

    7 Sarah Paulson 

    8 Mindy kaling

    These kids will all get serious time.  I live in Maricopa county and this was/is a very big deal.  Too big to get swept under the rug.  Maybe I’m being naive, I guess time will tell.  And as far as these being rich kids… it’s Gilbert, not Paradise Valley.  They are all most likely middle to upper middle class kids.  They won’t have rockstar defense teams, they will all be racing to cut the best deals possible, all of which I expect to include doing hard time.

    From what I’ve seen it’s on a level with Plano, not Southlake

    Arch has the touch

    When was the last time a 5 star sat two years ?

    When was the last time we had a five star whose family probably had 9 figs in the bank

     

     

    This is  nothing burger that you tools are drumming up.  There is no controversy. Malik looked good in spring last year

  4. Last week Jayden Daniels was odds on favorite to be #2 pick.  This week DC brought the top four qbs together and apparently Daniels didn’t handle it well. Drake Maye has closed the gap big time

    This place is wild, haha. First, I always thought Shadow Operative 2.0 was also Derka, but I guess not? I also remember a poster named Lurka Lurka, so he is certainly a surly celebrity. I obviously don't follow UT basketball threads here, although I did spend some time in the Chris Beard thread since it was national news, but I've been here long enough to have seen the "Derka Effect," for lack of a better term, more than a few times. The pattern used to be Derka has a strong opinion, someone disagrees, Derka comes back hard and won't let it go, and everything goes to shit. At some point the pattern became so well established that it was accelerated to Derka has strong opinion, disagreeing opinion is super aggressive knowing where the conversation would lead, and it goes to shit right off the bat. I got super annoyed in the TV and Movies board when he decided he no longer liked a show and shit on anyone's opinion if they still liked it, but it was easy enough to ignore.

    Ultimately, if the site's owners and moderators (who I assume don't make much, if anything, off this place) have to spend an inordinate amount of time offline dealing with the issue (including with his mom apparently?), they are more than justified in making it go away, especially when the poster refuses a simple request to ignore those who accelerated the pattern of aggressive disagreeing opinions. I do specifically recall a post of his somewhere implying that he'd off himself and would blame another poster, that alone in my mind would justify the owner's decision, regardless of what the other poster had said.

    I also have some experience dealing with people and mental illness and the mantra has always been to be empathetic, but don't enable them to use it as an excuse to treat others the way they don't want to be treated. That sort of rings a bell here. All that said, it sounds like he was a major contributor to UT basketball threads which I don't follow so I guess that's where his support comes from, because in the areas I've observed it, the contributions have rarely justified the nonsense. Just a humble opinion because I saw this thread bumping constantly and decided to click and was bored. I'm mostly here for the lolz anyway.

    this is actually a really great summary.   He wouldn’t let you ignore him in the other threads even after we acknowledged his point.   Like in the dragons thread, everyone was either saying “ok shoes not perfect we know you don’t like it but can we just discuss” and Derka just goes aggro.  
     

    also calling out the owner of the site is not the best idea. In doing so he justifies the perma ban imo

    Because I'm tired of them.  LeBron is almost fucking 40 and has been the center of the basketball world for 20 years.  KD is 35.  Steph is 36.  Just go away and let me watch the younger guys like Ant, Brunson, Halliburton, Chet, Banchero, etc.  I'd be much more interested in watching that.  I'm not a big fan of the old dudes hanging on for one more go-round.  You've had your shot, now let the younger guys take over.

    I don't need any more LeBron, Steph or KD in my life.  I'm full.

    Young dudes have had some challenges in international competition. Last Olympics KD was the only one worth a shit. Forgot you’re not a Texas fan.  
     

    I want to see the old guys one more time
