I did this a few years ago and am much better for it. Like Bates but to a lesser degree, I have to follow the business news for my job. (CNBC, WSJ, etc.). I really only pay attention during elections and that’s more so because I just can’t quit it. I know that when I’m not following it, I’m in a happier place.
Arthur Brooks wrote something a few months ago about how Capitol Hill has become a profoundly unhappy place and I’m curious on Bates’ perspective on that.
I thought I'd watch a great fight on Netflix. Ended up watching a slap fight on Twitter in Spanish. Just awful all around. The NFL needs to press Netlix on their ability to handle live events. That was awful.
They must be telling Venables that he has to branch out from his Friends & Family and not hire some middling career assistant that he worked with once at Clemson or something.
Only white coastal liberals think Pete is viable. Pete is easily the smartest person out there but even Pete knows him being gay is a complete non starter.
Gretchen Whitmer would be the odds on favorite but I think the actual Democratic voters might have some pause about nominating a woman again. That's unfair to Whitmer but it's not wrong.
That would leave Shapiro, Wes Moore, Brashears, and maybe Newsom. Brashears would be the best bet between them.
3rd and 4th grade? Good grief....
It's also the type of porn. Back in the day, porn was basically a naked woman in a magazine. Now, good lord. It's everything. Also, porn was hard to get. "Porn in the woods." You had to acquire it somehow through a friends older brother, literally finding it in the woods, etc. Then you had to hide it from your parents. All that for just a naked woman.
Now, it's all right there on your phone. No wonder these young boys are screwed in the head.
I saw this as someone who is far from a sexual conservative but I'm also a grown man who was once a young boy.
8. Porn. During their formative years, young boys are going down the wormhole of porn and as a result, don't know how to talk to an actual girl and end up as incels.
Both of these. We watch it because we've been watching it and I'm in consumer retail and Taylor Sheridan has slapped the brand on everything he could so I kind of have to watch it.
That being said, this show sucks. The cinematography and music are good but the writing is awful. It's basically a soap opera for rural, white people. Beth is particularly poorly written. She's a crazy drunk and the women viewers like Rip because he lets Beth be a crazy drunk.
Costner should have stayed on for the payday instead of doing that god awful 50 hour western that he did.
OKC loses Chet and still scored 134 points.
They actually don't lose much scoring with him out. Everyone on that roster can shoot and score at this point. They can replace him with a wing who can get after it defensively and still score. They lose shot blocking and rebounding. When Hartenstein comes back, he'll bring the rebounding and passing. With him, they'll still be a solid playoff seed and if Chet can come back in March (or whatever) and be up to speed by playoff time, they'll still be a player.
I could watch this 10 times and find a different problem each time and laugh. It might be the worst designed play in the history of college football. They do a jet sweet sweep with their slow TE and use their small, non blocking RB as a lead blocker. However, watch the pulling RG. It's like watching the video of little kids playing baseball:
Can't for a suburban Trumper to have their new construction stay half finished because the workers were deported. Meanwhile, they're still paying on the construction loan.
I think it's in a week or two. They'll still be solid with him. The other Jaylin Williams is injured, too, and he'll be back.
They say Chet will be back in Jan/Feb or something. Assuming that and some conditioning by the playoffs and they might be fine. It all depends on the recovery, though.
