  1. Hint for the reader: if you are over the age of 50 and someone asks you "would you like to take a cognitive test?", it is NOT because they think you are a very stable genius. If anyone asks you that, you should be very worried.
  2. It might have been as benign as her sitting in an unsafe position on/near the railing, someone goofing off giving her a playful shove, and over she goes. Then everyone panics about an accidental homicide, etc. Lots of possible scenarios. The two that seem the weirdest are (1) a malevolent murder, someone actually tosses her over the side saying "die bitch!", and (2) a purposeful "goodbye cruel world" suicide plunge with 15 people present. Seems like it is likely some scenario in between.
  3. Substitute "Austin" for Nash Vegas, and I'm pretty much right there with her. The stuff that makes Austin or Nashville "it" cities today are generally things I hate. I will say that there is still some good country music around. It's just not what's drawing the big crowds. Luke Bryan sells out stadiums, Red Volkaert kinda fills the Continental Club. Also, get off my lawn.
  4. In fairness, the swag totally helps him pick up 16 year old chicks, so cut him some slack.
  5. Houston bayous would like a word.
  6. "Orchestrating a coup" by......tricking Kegbreath into committing a war crime? That's some 3D chess there.
  7. Talked to the boy last night (international relations major, senior year). His senior capstone is going to be on the past decade of shifting American engagement with NATO, and the cascading effects of same (increased european engagement, emboldened Russia, etc.). I'll be curious to read what he ends up with. I'm sure it will be rather depressing in the near term, but maybe some glimmers of hope in there.
  8. Was just discussing this with a neighbor yesterday. Round-trip Uber, with a decent tip, is about $80 from our neck of the woods. So, on any trip of 5 days or more, the ride share is a cheaper option. AND, it drops you right at the airport, no parking and then shuttle bus. And the walk to the ride share pickup when you arrive isn't bad, I call the car as we are downstairs at baggage claim, it usually shows up right as we get to the pickup spot. So, our new routine is that we only park for short business trips or for 3 day weekend type trips. Otherwise? Ride share is the best option. For longer trips, it's not even close, it's a no-brainer.
  9. Grok is just being honest. The oligarchs have created a version of the trolley problem where one of their lives actually has more worth than.....4.13 billion other human beings. The problem is not that this is an academic exercise or whatnot, the problem is that THIS IS WHAT THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE. If you put Elon Musk in a position to sacrifice himself, or sacrifice 4.13 billion human beings, he would exterminate half of all human life. And his conscience would be clear (spoiler - it's because he has no conscience). These people are as close to literal demons as we will ever see walking the earth. What else would you call a creature that would happily kill half of all humans?
  10. Saw Satan Jews at Emo’s back in the day. It was an uncomfortable show, mostly because it was hot and super loud. And a little bit because of the implied anti-semitism. But again, it was REALLY loud.
  11. Moscow, not Milan. Try to keep up here, people.
  12. Just like Donald Trump is a poor man's idea of what a rich man is like, these fucking maroons are what idiots think an intellectual is like. We are in the age of pretenders.
  13. Yep. First time I heard that song, and that line in particular, I thought "gotdamn....he nailed the shit outta that." Even if you didn't play football, or play in high school, you likely had SOME experience that fits that description. It's a pivotal transitional moment in a male's experience of life.
  14. Yeah, how you wouldn't do one of the jillion fantastic roast dinners on offer all over, I don't understand. That's one thing they do very, very well.
  15. Dr. Riviera was available, but Trump didn't trust a dirty spic.
