The All Things Political Topic - Politics is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex
I never said that there's no issues with immigration, I specifically pointed out what you wrote about it now affecting liberals which is patently false and has been making the rounds on conservative sites. There are 4 southern border states and only one is red ...and one is the communist hellscape of California.

I see this repeated a lot, especially on the right but it's a flawed premise. There are liberal border states and liberal cities in red states. I'm from a liberal border area.. and immigrants in NY being the breaking point is laughable. There are real issues with immigration and border policy but these things are gross oversimplifications and outright lies.

We had leftover pork tacos for lunch and leftover lamb for dinner.

I'm making lamb loin chops on the grill and some couscous on the stove. My wife is making some kind of salad.

What are you Playing Now? - What doesn't kill you, gives you XP
I'm still hoping for a Fallout 2 remake/remaster whatever. I'm playing LOTRO because they just released a new class, the Mariner. Since I hadn't played since before they introduced River Hobbits I went with a River Hobbit Mariner named Burwell and did my best to make him look like Chesty Puller. I played through the River Hobbit intro then immediately quit to make a High Elf version instead and am still playing through the unreasonably long and unskippable HElf intro.

The New Drinking Thread
Went to Costco and picked up 3 bottles of Lagavulin. I got one of each year; 8, 11, and 16. Suddenly remembering when I was in Jamaica and randomly met an older Scottish gentleman who was also on an island hopping campaign and we joined forces and cleaned out the resort bar.

Cinema and Movie Thread: flickering images
I've never seen it just the Best of the Worst episode that featured it. That growl still haunts my nightmares.

I made steaks as well. Paired it with honey glazed parsnips because my wife loves parsnips and crispy garlic baby bok choy because I like garlic and King Soopers (Kroger) had a sale on bok choy.

More Hardwood + Round Holes = Lots of Scoring in Basketball 2K19
Nope but I have Hill on my fantasy team so I was very happy. Fantasy football is my only football exposure these days.

The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
Netflix and Disney are the ones up for cancellation next. Netflix has been especially disappointing for me lately, it's so hard to find things that interest me and they keep raising prices. I just canceled Paramount Plus and HBO so I'm left with Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, and Disney. I get live TV with Hulu so it's probably the hardest one to drop.

The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
I thought that with the strikes I would be able to catch up on my backlog and also probably check out some stuff on my maybe list but that hasn't happened at all. I found that I'd rather watch a re-run or nothing at all over something I was iffy about before. I also discovered that if I don't find something to watch in under 5 minutes I'm probably just going to turn off the TV and do something else. My wife likes having the TV on in the background but I do not, I either watch it with a purpose or want it off. I also canceled some of the streaming services that I don't use that often.

What You've Done Today - We do not remember days, we remember moments
I have to play tech support for my wife's iPhone and my own Android. I also had iPhones given to me as work phones and I don't hate them but I do hate going back and forth. Never had any issue updating from Pixel to Pixel or Samsung to Samsung or any of the flagship phones but it can be a little iffy going from two vastly different Android phones.

What You've Done Today - We do not remember days, we remember moments
Aunt passed away over the weekend, she was 94. I never actually met her as she lived in OKC but it made me think about how many people in my family lived to be 90+. Grandma who passed earlier this year was in her 90s as well. Of course, my mom died in her 40s so there's that. In less death related news, went to a museum over the weekend because they have all of my son's favorite things; space, dinosaurs, and rocks. Then we came home and made wooden swords while watching Star Trek 4. Was a pretty good little weekend even though I had to work a little bit on Saturday.
