  1. He shoots from the hip. I too love it.
  2. I think he comes off better on the show? He's a real pompous American **** no matter what.
  3. I just got into it these last few months. It started with watching the Netflix show, Drive to Survive, when I was a bit squiffy, and that bore a legitimate interest after two seasons. Plus Angry Steve is always popping up on my Facebook feed with it. Also a GQ article (or maybe someplace else) from Drew Magary about the American who now runs the Maclaren team. It just all kind of came together. Plus races are generally less than 2 hours, so it's a quick weekend morning watch. To those interested in Black (specifically Caribbeans) treatment from British cops over the years, the new Steve M
  4. Naps, we got George Russell filling in for Lewis. That seems very weird!
  5. We will power through. Wild crash in Bahrain. Pretty amazing he got out, wasn't unconscious, seems okay.
  6. I had no idea either. We're a bunch of olds.
  7. I don't know where you ****s get your podcasts, but should you be incredibly bored, I've been doing a music one for the last couple months with some friends. Most reviews range from "not bad" to "okay," including one friend calling me "surprisingly tolerable." https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yes-this-is-podcast/id1531815557 its on most other platforms as well, near the top of the "yes this is podcast" query. We're doing some Talking Heads tomorrow night.
  8. I think it would frowned upon to NOT only be wearing your underwear.
  9. That study says a lot of things, none of which should be simplified into one confusingly stated sentence.
  10. Queen's Gambit is pretty enjoyable.
  11. I really don't understand your approach to life. And not personally you. But smart people who see how ****ing stupid this all is, but have this greater devotion to whatever the notion of ideal capitalism is, and still say "yea, but i cant vote for the shitty democrat"
  12. The NV group that appealed the election results amusingly recalled their own appeal, making those challenges 0-12 in court. My lil Republican town in ole blue MA still had a group of like 8 people waving Trump signs in the center of town today. Not the best look for them.
  13. Not sure I've had a less-fun 4 hour experience than watching every up-in-the-air state post all their mail in ballots early, watch those Dem leads easily slide away, and end with "Welp, let's see tomorrow," with a best-of-3 scenario in play.
  14. Got 2+ inches of wet snow so far today. What the ****.
  15. I don't know the real answer, but it mostly feels like because they can. My premiums went up 16% two years in a row back in 2014ish. It's great fun to read stories from other countries that are basically, "we go get a procedure done for the cost of the cab ride, and then go home and google what it would have cost in America."
  16. Yes, medicare for all would have been awful during a pandemic. I don't know if it would have worked! But speaking as a benefit administrator, the current system is ****ing evil.
  17. It truly sucks you have no idea what's real anymore. I have one friend who echoes Suited's stances on most things, and he'll bring up a "point", and the amount of time and effort it would take to prove or disprove that point is just not worth it, because there's a dozen other arguments just waiting there. And the same with anything I say. I have no idea what's real! What percentage of "studies" are bought and paid for? Feels like its at least 95%. So none of them are worth anything. I never read Essay's debilitatingly long arguments, but you'll notice he goes out of his way to use CNN/MSNBC ne
  18. That AD dagger...ouch. After Jokic dragged his team to a winning position, to have all fall apart because of a Plumlee. Tough stuff. I've been watching the F1 show on Netflix, Drive to Survive, and I'm considering adding Formula 1 racing to my neverending interests. It's pretty entertaining, it looks amazing in 4k, and races are like 2 hours on a Sunday morning. Lots to like, except the complete lack of drama at the top. Bit of a downer to just know Mercedes is going to win.
  19. I have, and quite enjoyed it. Didn't read the reviews/interviews til after. My opinion of the movie is influenced by me having read, and loved, Ice, by Anna Kavan, of which I picked out the cover in an early scene before they mentioned it.
  20. The polarization of the two sides has increased unfathomably since the advent of cable news. Watch Starship Troopers. Remember the "goofy" propagandist news network? That movie came out like two years after Fox News debuted. Verhoeven saw what was coming.
  21. I hear the people that died from 9/11 had underlying conditions, much like this COVID thing. They were underlying the rubble.
  22. You don't think people ****ing notice when the ****ing president of the ****ing country skips visiting a ****ing foreign veteran cemetery? How he can both tweet that he didn't call McCain a loser for getting captured, while linking to an article that says that he said that ****ing thing? **** you, man.
  23. Yes i ****ing 100% believe that story because its consistent with every ****ing thing he's ever said. You're a ****ing ******* and a piece of a shit if you don't believe the story that's ****ing triple sourced, AND ****ING EXACTLY IN LINE WITH EVERYTHING HES EVER SAID.
