  1. Yes, so the Orange Jesus will take the obvious Christian Nationalist position that he will criminalize it again.
  2. This is bullshit false equivalency that I hear a lot. They both don’t suck. One is normal, a decent person, old, but someone who some might disagree with politically. The other is a terrible human being, a liar, and cares about nothing other than himself. You are dead on here.
  3. I agree with the need for a big man. My hope was that we would have lucked into one who had some nastiness/strength to him. Someone who is not afraid to go in there and push people around. I’m not sure who that would have been though.
  4. Yeah, I don’t like hearing that. Fucking RT.
  5. You don’t think a POS like Trump pandering to evangelicals is a bigger political lie? I have just come to the point of accepting that a large percentage of this country is just fucking stupid and no amount of education can overcome them being guided by their worst base instincts. This statement reminds me of the Trump supporter who said something to the effect of he had never met a democrat who had not attended college and by his logic if you didn’t like Trump it was because you were indoctrinated in college. I still maintain that racism and bigotry is a big factor with a large percentage of people who say they “hate” the Democrats.
  6. Hot Wheels has his back. Willing to bet he was exerting pressure to to do what happened yesterday.
  7. I’m cool with him not enforcing weed laws.
  8. I’m going with A&M. It would be pretty much on brand for them to encourage a press conference with them beating us in a head to head.
  9. It’s my home office. Thanks for the suggestions!
  10. I’m trying to settle on a sound bar for a secondary tv that I just want to sound better than the tv speakers. Not wanting to spend a lot because I have a nice set up on the main tv. I know they are crap especially in the price range I’m looking at but can’t arrive on a general consensus as to what is a decent basic unit.
  11. I really enjoyed it although at times it was hard to look at which I guess it should be. I disagree with some of the comments above about not really knowing much about the sides. We know that the President was in his third term, he turned the military on its citizens, and his rhetoric in the beginning where he builds up to something being the “greatest military victory of all time” sounded familiar as well and conveyed a President who was lying to his people. If you contrast his dialogue with what unfolds, it is a fair assumption he is not telling the truth. The brutality at the end is certainly analogous to the fates of brutal dictators mentioned earlier in the film. The other side is more ambiguous. Clearly, all guys in uniform were not created equal and some of the other war scenes involved people in civilian clothes. It did leave some things for the viewer to fill in the blanks but not in an unfulfilling way like say a series that has an ambiguous ending. Movie was really well done and the scary part is that it looked at the idea of a civil war in a way that was absolutely believable. Definitely a thought provoking way to spend a couple of hours.
  12. I say it to people all the time. They go home and google it and realize I was insulting them.
  13. I saw both nights of those shows and the sound was the best I ever heard there. Used to have a recording of one of them and it was one of my better attempts to record a show.
  14. I saw some great shows at the Austin Opera House.
  15. I recently bought a used Epiphone 335 Figured Tea Burst used for $450. I’m not an expert by any means but it’s about as good a guitar as I would ever need. I thought that I would at least need to change the pickups but I was wrong. These “Inspired by Gibson” guitars have CTS pots, upgraded hardware and are finished nicely. I also like the changed headstock better than the other version. I kind of expected the guitar to be the typical Chinese cheap feeling type of thing. It’s slightly heavier than the Gibson as it’s not nitro finished but other than that the differences are not something I would notice I’m not what I call a cork sniffer as I’ve been lucky to find three really good MIM Fenders as well as a 1993 LP Classic that I rotate around. For someone who just enjoys playing at home I think there are a lot of moderately priced Chinese guitars out there that provide a good value.
  16. Naw, that’s just who we are as a state.
  17. I actually had a drink with him one time in Vegas.
  18. I agree as to Hunter and Mitchell. I hope they come back.
  19. I don’t understand why anyone thinks that RT can make it to the round of 8 much less 16 on a consistent basis. IMO people underestimate what an experienced team we had last year. I’m not saying RT didn’t have to coach them but it was far easier than what he put on the floor this year.
  20. You are tying to be funny, right?
  21. It’s strange to me how many people have said that because we haven’t been a traditional basketball power that we should not care about it.
  22. We should just go ahead and start arguing about whether RT is fired or extended after year three.
