  1. That's the cross that the best teams bear. Yankees and Patriots face the same thing. It's basic sports psychology. Most people root for their team, against teams they hate, or the underdog. Brazil has too much success to be considered an underdog, so unless you are already a fan or you hate the team they are playing, you will likely root against them.
  2. Hmm, looks good on paper, but hopefully it doesn't mess up the locker room dynamic. Cousins is a big personality and there is already rumors of some troubles keeping all the GSW stars happy.
  3. Finished Season 2 of Goliath. For some reason, this show is super binge worthy for me. Season 2 wasn't quite as good as 1, but honestly I just watch it for the great cast interactions and it was still a hit in that way. Story got a bit muddled and ended weirdly, but hopefully it was just to set up the next one.
  4. Psst, the entire "me too" movement is based on that. But Im sure the 5 second grope he endured damaged him for life. smh. I do not get you at all. This reads like a complete lack of empathy.
  5. Way to completely ignore the first part of the interview that addresses positions of power and how they are used to protect predatory behavior.
  6. I agree with most of what GD says. I'm not quite as condemning of the police, because I feel like their training reinforces certain flaws instead of correcting them. I also think there was opportunity to prevent the Maryland newspaper shooting by our legal system. It wasn't on the day of the shooting, but rather way ahead of time. There was a lot of build up to this guy walking into the building with a gun. The warning signs were there. Now obviously hindsight is 20/20, but we need to continue to learn and improve how we handle mental health in this country. I wish the energy that was spent on all this gun debate was focused on creating a society where people don't go on mass shooting sprees.
  7. The limit exists to prevent people from spamming a topic with a ton of videos, so maybe choose the best two and stick with that.
  8. Just finished a campaign of Xenonauts, and now I am starting up the GTA V story.
  9. We could also probably train our police to not pull their guns out all the time. I am not sure those victims would benefit from having guns of their own as much as just not having cops who wave their guns around like it is the only way to deal with a situation.
  10. https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2018/07/01/daniel-suarez-details-long-expensive-process-to-obtain-u-s-residency/ Bureaucracy at work!
  11. Mute and Altered Carbon off the top of my head.
  12. The new Jumanji was pretty funny. It was a gokd watch with the kids.
  13. Man, it needs higher backer levels!
  14. The Good Place is fantastic. Ted Danson and Kristin Bell are just perfect.
  15. I spent a few bucks to pick up Rust, but I can not get it to run easily. It takes forever to load servers, and then the performance is just a no-go. Might need to just give it up.
  16. Sorry to hear that Bart.
  17. Well it's a bit more than just gaining a few pounds. Everything stretches.
  18. To be fair, pregnancy in general is super sexist. The woman has to grow an entire person inside her body while the man, if he's a decent sort, just goes on snack runs and holds her swelling hands.
  19. Rogue Legacy is great, but it definitely needs a controller.
  20. Pretty common sight whenever we spend time in Arizona. The keys on the carabiner seem a bit much though.
  21. The Anita Hill situation was certainly not a good introduction to the public for Clarence Thomas. But honestly he's kept a fairly low profile since, so I'm not sure if hated if the right word.
  22. Thanks for sharing, I guess?
  23. We could definitely do with a change in the gun culture of the US. It's strange because I grew up with realistic looking toy guns and no one I knew was really all that interested in the real thing, and now all the toys look ridiculous and people people are super gung-ho about owning firearms. Probably not all that related, but still. I'd love to see an actual movement to establish legitimate militias that aren't filled with whack jobs and are focused on gun safety.
  24. Yep, most people don't decide to destroy their doors when they aren't opening properly.
  25. Except it isn't really bad writing or bad plotting unless you spend time thinking about it. Most people go to the movies, enkoy their two hours of entertainment, and never look back. Even discussing it here is way more than the vast majority of movie goers bother with. And really that is what I go into movies trying to do. 2 hours to hopefully be entertained by good acting, or humor, or bright visuals. I will leave the dissections up to the film school students. Also I don't really remember the 2nd ST being skewered. Maybe in ST circles it was, but in general I thought it was recieved as a typical summer popcorn action flick.
