  1. Homelessness is a nuanced, multifaceted issue with no easy answers. It’s also a regional and national issue. Longterm answers must be done at all levels of government and depends on sound economic, healthcare, education, housing, and criminal justice policies. It’s trending in the opposite direction to say the least. Austin’s strategy to target short-term intervention seems like a sound one. Next time you walk by the College of Social Work try to not scratch their lambos from all the sweet homeless cash they get.
  2. Eliminating agencies and bureaucrats is worth the squeeze to these nihilists. Then, selectively bothsiding who’s responsible for all the bullshit. American “intellectuals” glamorizing Russian politics or equating the US to Russia has been a bothsides tradition for over a century.
  3. Back up the Brinks truck, these cowards didnt put Luka on the trading block because they had no way to explain it. No contract dispute or player dissatisfaction. No rebuild. I think Barkley got traded without his knowledge for Jeff Hornacek and some spares. But that was offseason.
  4. Turn the other cheek was legit. Get a christian pop singer to cover it and its a legit hit
  5. Said this awhile back. Both guys really struggled with injuries though. Sam was used as a battering room. Ewers unlucky and has a slight frame. Watch Sam vs LSU then ISU later in the 2019 season. Night and day. Game on the line, I go Sam every time. September Ewers is no slouch. I do think Ewers made the right choice. Leaving Texas would hurt a significant UT legacy.
  6. Like I implied, it was an uneventful trip, probably took several weeks. They would have looked like warmed over shit wearing the clothes on their back. Probably wouldve passed by population centers. If they bypassed those like they said, it would have been over a month. Its unlikely. Late stage GOT had them traveling distances instantly. Early GOT had them get waylayed and it showed the struggle of traveling in unfamiliar territory. That was a symptom of lazy storytelling. My recollection of S1 showed them driving a vehicle and having some struggles in populated areas. They even made fun of Ellie’s converse sneakers. So it’s a minor quibble.
  7. Jackson Hole to Seattle is 850 miles. Are we to believe outside of one rainstorm, two small women on a horse would have an uneventful trip? Then they ride into Seattle after seeing a fresh murder site. Oh, “look a piece of shit, lets be seen in broad daylight for miles on the same path as the war atrocities!” 0 for 3 episode-wise >Good Deena the Explorer Catherine O’Hara >Bad Casual Seattle daytrip Unexplained cult without context, bringing hammers to a gunfight The H&M Wolves storming the REI closing scene >Ugly Pacing issues Ellie’s dialogue and likeability, not her looks
  8. Really bad take and verifiably incorrect. I bet about 1/3 of hall of fame QBs road pine. Maybe more, especially in the old days. Roger Fuckin Staubach was a backup as a 27-year old rookie, and he was one of the greatest college qbs of alltime. Now teams sometimes form succession plans and draft backups as heir apparents or upside guys.
  9. I wonder why people blame democrats for republicans behavior. Weird. It’s almost like there’s a systematic campaign to undermine democracy using sophisticated and chaotic misinformation campaigns that include narratives that elected officials are all corrupt, that the adversaries to fascism are weak, and that both sides are to blame. This, despite actions and rhetoric from nerdy, boring politicians, scientists and others who attempt to speak the truth. And, these truth-sayers are intimidated and ignored and shouted down.
  10. I largely agree. Joel’s just gonna stand pat while Jackson Hole is under siege. Even after hes shot in the legs, shes arm length and monologues. I do think he had some reasons to take it, but its a stretch. Ellie putsing around is also unlikely. She’d already showed high level (yet cocky) clearing skills. She has the element of surprise and somehow gets detected by supersoldier who was watching the torture.
  11. It was a good plan, but hasnt changed because: 1) It goes to a general fund 2) It doesnt impact red areas as much 3) the state has effectively deflected blame to local entities 4) it punishes austin 5) they’ve crushed legal challenges to equity and adequacy, even though the state constitution requires it A functioning governmental body would adjust the recapture formula at least every decade as part of a broader effort to improve public education for all.
  12. I made the mistake of watching ESPN draft coverage and 3 of the “analysts” started the broadcast making the case for Sanders at #1. Thats quite a difference in reality.
  13. Hurley is fat. Bella Ramsey aint fat. When people make superficial criticisms of actors based on how they dont conform to a detail from the source material, it’s an invalid criticism for a variety of reasons. Take it to the gamers board or cloak room, these make believe notions of what this character is or isnt based on what the tv show isnt showing. Based on what we’re seeing, Im seeing some lightweight acting and writing. Catherine OHara is a heavy hitter. As is Dora the Explorer as Dena who jumps off the screen. Bella did OK season 1 as a kid. Now shes the lead, it’s looking grim based on the combo of a script that depicts her as unsympathetic and her acting which is not leading character material.
  14. Huh, that’s weird. It’s almost like the US coordinates with Russia while treating Zelensky as an adversary.
  15. Right now they act and are written like plot devices. An inevitable character who does stupid shit to advance an inevitable thing. First season looked like grown ass actors and writers doing grown ass acting and writing. Getting late stage GOT and TWD vibes. Its like Sand Snakes vs Sand Snakes. So help me with Abby joins forces with Ellie like Neegan and Maggie…
  16. The source material for The Godfather was weak, though the book was popular. Think there was a whole chapter on Sonny’s mistress who needed a big dick for her huge pussy. Thank God that Coppola had the genius to change it. Im skeptical Bella Ramsey can carry this show, especially when shes written as an entitled asshole. Further, the baddie plays like an NPC. I had less video game vibes in the first season. We’ll see.
  17. That was Gruden? I thought it was Frank Caliendo
  18. Who look 12 and can pass as a boy in the actual show. Like they spent a whole season as a boy!
  19. I know they’re different movies but how does it compare to Coen Brother’s Inside Llewyn Davis? The movie is outstanding and one of my favorite Coen Bros.
