    Read some of the first few pages of this thread.   References to getting Tivo….

    Can’t believe this is still holding on by a thread, would be amazing to be able to contact some of the mainstays from over the years.  

    Sad news:  most are dead

    Oh, I’m already pawning them off to friends who bake. Most of them are already starting to brown. It’s too many bananas!

    Let them get a little brown, peel, break in half, put on a sheet pan, freeze them, then put them in a a freezer bag.

    Ronny ruined the thread, not my fault!

    but there’s literally nothing happening. I did rearrange the furniture in my apartment. Which was fun. Killed and evening last week. But with no more regular cable I could move the tv to in front of the window and open up a lot of space. So now I’m shopping for a new sofa. 
     

    work is the same as ever. Boring and awful. But it pays the bills. 
     

    im at the casino playing a little poker right now. Just like to get out of the house some nights. Working from home can drive a man crazy. 

    You’re welcome

    Essay's Top Ten

    Never saw Book of Eli, and you’re order is flawed, but I like the rest of the choices. I may have to check the IMDB to replace one or two.  

    Crimson Tide
    Training Day
    Inside Man
    Man on Fire
    Glory

    thats the top 5 for me.   
     

    Deja Vu makes my top 10.  Devil in a Blue Dress too.  So that’s 7 for me. Maybe Ricochet. 
     

    shocked Malcolm X didn’t make your list.  To be fair, it doesn’t make mine. Watched it once, it was good, he was good, but I can find 10 of his movies I’d watch first 

    can’t believe you didn’t pick Remember the Titans. People love that movie. I don’t really. 
     

    So I’m definitely replacing Courage under fire, Book of Eli, and maybe American Gangster.  Gotta ponder that last one. Can’t guarantee He Got Game can make the cut.

    i would agree, the occurence of either case is very rare, which is why the topic annoys me. it is being used to push a culture war and paint people like me as bad people. 

    but as to why they do it, i don't really care. i dont think we need to base the rules around the outlier. i feel bad for transgender people, i really do. it must be insanely discomforting to feel so confused about who you are. but my sympathy ends when you start demanding i agree with your every viewpoint. 

    I do agree wholeheartedly that the issue is completely overblown. we never needed bathroom laws or any of that shit. if some creep is doing it that law isn't going to prevent it or enhance it. and most likely the creep is gonna meet swift justice from a father anyways. we don't need congress to get involved.

    but that is my feeling on most things. 

    Right, and I mostly agree with what you wrote.  Mostly normal, non radicalized Trumper Q crazy people can find a lot of common ground where we are.  Sadly, there are vocal minorities that drive the car into a guard rail.  
     

    that being said, the same stuff used to be said about gays, gay marriage, etc.  They didn’t want special treatment, they just wanted the same rights as you and I.  Not more, just equal.  Beyond that,  I honestly don’t know enough about what trans people are fighting for.  I always assumed it was just simple equality.  But much like blacks at the lunch counter 60 years ago, giving them any rights makes some people feel like they are losing their rights.  
     

    being a bigot and hating a certain group aren’t rights anyone can fight for.  Eff those people.  But they try

    I guess I chased Strat off with my comments?  
     

    While that wasn’t my intention, and i like JeffyD, I won’t apologize for my stance.  I will apologize for maybe being overly harsh (I apologize) but you don’t frigging give dental tips to someone you barely know over a zoom convo because you think you are helping them and it’s something you don’t like about them.  That’s just not even a little cool.  
     
     

    I hope he comes back by and shares more about his dating grind.

    I would say Johnny becoming Sally at 15 and then dominating the sport is just as infrequent of 5 alpha reductive phraseology compartmentalizations syndrome, or whatever it was called. 
     

    I’m not saying I agree that a “boy” can just flip to a girl and start winning track meets, but it’s more complicated than that.  And do you really think they are doing it just to win races?  You don’t think the grief they catch from society is greater than the joy from winning?

    it’s all just so silly, but I don’t think there are many “boys” changing to girls and becoming gold medalists.  It’s just anecdotal bs to fire up the masses.  Same with the bathroom bs controversy. 
     

    I ain’t want no burly man peeing with my little girl.  
     

    It’s all just a smoke screen to rile people up.  Like there is effing security at all women’s bathrooms stopping men from going in and being bad regardless if they are wearing a dress or not. 
     

    there is middle ground, but nobody wants to give an inch, especially on one side.  I refuse to do false equivalencies.  Not saying the left doesn’t have its share of kooks and unreasonable people, cuz they do, but it ain’t near as many as the right

    Agree with some, disagree with some.  
     

    thanks for the thoughts 

     

    funny you mentioned the little checks to the people, and I agree, I didn’t need either check and still got them,  but you made no mention of that huge fcking grift of PPP, which was a lot more money than those checks to people.  And people like me took those checks and boosted the economy

    that's the thing, no serious person is calling it a hoax. but that doesn't mean draconian lockdowns for all healthy people and children are rational responses.  hope your dad gets better soon. 

    I ask this with no preconceived notions of the right answer, and I believe people should be mostly allowed to do what they want to do, even at the expense of service workers, mask requirements, etc 

     

    what should be done once the hospitals are full and overwhelmed, and just can’t handle another month of working tons of hours, etc due to people doing whatever they want and bringing it home 

    take me and the wife,  we don’t do anything, (except tonight, oddly) I work from home, mostly pickup groceries, etc, but wife’s son moved back in, has two service industry jobs, and is soon to be 29, has a girlfriend with two service industry jobs, and they still socialize out some, but they come into this house, which raises my risk exponentially, even though I play it safe.  
     

    i’m asking sincerely.  Just looking for thoughts.

    Ronny you gotta mellow out. Aren’t you enjoying work from home?

    Calmer than you 

     

    and yes, I am still enjoying my home office with five screens and a good quality chair.  No complaints from me.

    At first I thought you were taking braveheart to task and got really confused as I continued to read. 

     

    I think strat is a bit like I was in that he is looking for his "perfect mate" which he takes to mean as "the person who will check all the pro boxes and none of the con boxes" but which I have come to learn actually means "the person with con boxes but not bad enough you continually fantasize about swerving your car into a guardrail every time you're on a highway." 

    Which was the point I tried to make after my little outburst over the notion of telling someone you really don’t know that well they have bad teeth and suspect grooming habits.

    But in truth, I did not mean to be overly nasty to Strat.  I did mean to be direct and a little mean, because I was aghast of the premise, but I know Strat means well. I just think he is waaaayyyyy off in his approach.

     

    I apologize to Strat.  Suited can huff my balls, just because
