  1. It Follows Hereditary Midsommar Insidious 1 and 2 Conjuring 1 and 2 The Witch It remake Chapters 1 and 2 (fuck off, I liked them). Drag Me To Hell Those are my favorites. There are a lot more that I still like that are a tier or two below such as... Evil Dead remake Ouiji sequel Along Came The Devil Veronica Other Conjuring universe films
  2. Honestly that's a pretty good point. I'm still not at the point of not watching, but the self-imploding way we seem to always lose is pretty frustrating in and of itself.
  3. A 350 mile wide meteor could hit Texas and Oklahoma, just missing Austin by about 100 miles.
  4. Quit watching Texas football because we suck? Losing sucks and is frustrating, but it is what it is. Quit letting a game played by a bunch of 18-22 kids emotionally control your life. You won't get to enjoy the peaks if you bitch out and disappear during the valleys.
  5. Hopefully he's never allowed to fly again in his miserable life.

    Gym Pet Peeves

    Thanks. I'm only in my late 30's but this has been really bugging me. I've always loved bench pressing just from a vanity standpoint. It was one of the few big lifts that came pretty easy to me and I was always good at getting some decent numbers out of it, but it may be time to just quit flat benching altogether. Some mornings just pushing myself up out of bed on that side feels like somebody is stabbing an ice pick into my shoulder. Lat pulldown will kind of hurt too if I go too heavy. Yet for whatever reason I can still do a ton of pushups and not really feel much pain, but any kind of dips are absolutely not happening at this point.

    Gym Pet Peeves

    I hurt my right shoulder doing dumbell bench press like 2 years ago. I've always done barbell, but one day the gym was too crowded and I couldn't get a spot so just decided to mix it up and do dumbbells. My inexperienced ass went too heavy and way too deep (no bar to automatically stop me when I get to my chest) and I've had a screwed up rotator cuff ever since. I completely laid off lifting for over a year and the pain went away, but it came right back when I started back up again earlier this year. Any tips or suggestions on rehabbing it yourself? I've heard nothing but horror stories about doctors wanting to prematurely operate on rotator cuffs and surgeries making things worse.
  8. Between the two threads you have about 30 posts in the last 24 hours about Alec Baldwin, with possibly one or two containing original thought where you aren't just repeating yourself. Somebody's life tragically ended prematurely and you just can't contain your glee because it happened at the hands of somebody who votes differently than you. It's not the best look.
  9. Not quite as catchy as The Deplorable Choir.
  10. You Season 3 just didn't hit the same way as the first season. I wasn't in love with it. The ending with him and Love was strong but it felt weak in the middle. Not sure if it was just my mindset/mood when watching it but I found myself bored and looking at my phone too much at times during the show. Also, does Joe just become obsessed with every single girl he meets? I never felt any chemistry between him and the library chick other than we need someone for Joe to like this season.
  11. Someone trying to get me fired.
  12. This is no lie. Google took the best music streaming user interface and ruined it, IMO. There was no reason to get rid of it for Youtube.
  13. You know this isn't actually the Cloak Room, right? Same exact post submitted 16 hours after the first one like he didn't realize he already made it. Yep, definitely Ttom.
  14. The 80's and 90's weren't as bad as this current run of mediocrity. In 1983 we were a muffed punt away from a probable national title. We won 5 conference championships in the 80's and 90's, more than twice the amount we've won since including our good years under Mack. Akers, McWilliams, and Mackovic all won at least 1 conference title. We're now 12 seasons and 3 coaches removed from a conference championship. Don't get me wrong, those years sucked overall -- but there was at least an occasional highlight mixed in with the bad. Losing really doesn't affect me as much as it used to. The final years of Mack were rough after years of really high expectations and results, but by the last couple of years of Charlie Strong's tenure I became pretty numb and used to losing. Winning big games like Georgia and OU in 2018 still feels amazing, but losing doesn't emotionally ruin my weekend the way it might have when I was younger. When OSU scored the go ahead touchdown this weekend I just got up, shook my head, felt bad about it for about an hour, and moved on. I don't understand how so many have the energy to spend the entire weekend melting down on this board after a loss.

    Casey Thompson

    Is Thompson or Card the broken glass? Because I feel like that's not the most difficult choice.
  16. Like Lieberman during the Obamacare negotiations, the "centrist" Democrats don't even know what they want. They just want to appear centrist or conservative so they are willing to recklessly sabotage their party's platform by grandstanding behind some arbitrary line to appeal to some group that they think keeps them in power. Meanwhile they are watering down bills with policies that are broadly very popular and supported by the majority. Then when we get the final watered down version of the bills that don't help people the way they way they originally promised, just like the ACA, people will look at not just the Sinemas or Manchins but Democrats in general and say things like "Democrats always make promises to help the working and middle class, but never deliver!" Then a bunch will get voted out of office, and Mitch McConnell and the GOP will laugh and toast together as they take back over and hand out another huge tax cut to billionaires, gut social programs, and install unqualified judges. Rinse and repeat every couple of election cycles.
  17. Hey, he has his hobbies. He also enjoys encouraging insurrections and obstructing the government from performing its most basic functions.
  18. Because Mr. Pink is going to lose his shit when his coffee automatically costs a dollar more and he can't stiff the help.
  19. Isn't this kind of the thing conservatives have been preaching for decades when arguing against minimum wages? "If you don't like your job or pay, find a better one." Turns out people don't want to work for a wage where they can't afford a one bedroom apartment on their own while getting treated like shit by customers every day. So they are quitting. Conservatives now: "BuT nOw I hAvE tO wAiT lOnGeR aT aPpLeBeEs AnD tHe SeRvIcE iS wOrSe!"
  20. Maybe thinking of Funkhouser who did a couple of years ago? Funkhouser looked dead the entire time he was on the series, but he was funny as hell. I'll miss that guy not being in this season at all.
  21. I haven't gotten around to watching The Closer yet and don't know what he did or didn't say about trans people in this special, but do you really believe this? I watched the first couple of specials he did for Netflix a few years ago and they were good but not Chappelle at his peak, regardless of any controversy. Dave peaked in the 2000's. There's better standup on Netflix and elsewhere from others today.
  22. I used to subscribe and would listen to his podcast if he had someone on I liked or sounded interesting, but it was usually for the guest. I never really thought he was a must listen nor really understood the appeal other than he typically could always land really high profile guests. But once he moved to Spotify it's like he ceased to exist. I had Spotify years ago for music and never liked the platform. There are a billion other podcasts out there that I don't need Spotify to listen to.
  23. This is probably making me grade it a little harsher than I would have if I had seen it a year and a half ago when it was supposed to come out. After all of the postponements and hype I think I built up the excitement in my head a little too much and it made the let down worse.
  24. She was fantastic and her scenes with Bond may have been the highlight of the movie. Unfortunately she was only in it for about 10 minutes.
