  1. Also it's a bit bewildering to see the same people that have been crying about teachers brainwashing kids with CRT or SEL are now like "Teachers should have guns!" You trust me with a weapon but not a textbook. If only pointing out hypocrisy had any effect on hypocrites.
  2. I don't understand the police response. We practice run, hide, defend drills every year, and every year we have police come on campus. Their policy is they engage immediately if there is a threat on campus. It doesn't matter if it is only one officer, they are supposed to go as directly as possible to the threat. I have a hard time believing they don't have the same policies in Texas.
  3. I started watching The Kids in the Hall documentary, which is different than their new season of sketch comedy. Scott Thompson is such an interesting pioneer. Without him, the show is still a hilarious sketch comedy show, but he added an insight into gay culture that I just don't think had any exposure before then. On another note, they had a sketch about a sentient glory hole that killed me. It was strangely gross and heartwarming at the same time.
  4. Hah, I was already playing Stellaris, so it wasn't the peer pressure!
  5. Oh man, I'm guess all the other runners in that park get chased by squirrels regularly.
  6. Bald people and redheads?
  7. The Warriors were bad for about 30 years, and then they drafted well, hired a rookie coach, won a surprise title against King James, set the NBA record for wins in a season, and lost in 7 to King James. That was all before KD showed up. Now they spent the previous 2 years without KD, rebuilding depth, recovering from injuries, and getting nowhere near the playoffs. They've finally gotten healthy, they've rebuilt the bench, and they are playing better team basketball than everyone else. Are they the Patriots of basketball? I'd say they are more like the Showtime Laker or the Gretzky Oilers. As for KD being Brady, pshaw I say. Pshaw!
  8. Hardly. A Warriors/Celtics matchup would be fantastic for the NBA. It's been an interesting turn seeing the Warriors become the villains of the NBA. I mean, they are still basically the same homegrown team that won their first title in 2015. Is it because Draymond Green talks too much? *shrug* I'd love for them to get a 2nd title without KD. As a dynasty, there might not be many other shots at it.

    I have some buddies who did this back in the day, they all barfed. It's crazy to think that the record is under 4:30.
  10. Kids in the Hall is back and it is magnificent.
  11. King is the most productive writer of his age.
  12. I think the signal button should do the trick on the washer. No idea on the microwave.
  13. As a parent of a 15-year old, I disagree.
  14. Your link said that the majority of (reported) crimes were theft. It didn't say anything about prison or prosecution. As I've said, crime rates and imprisonments rates are not connected in the way you are assuming.
  15. I think we've done this before. How many people are in jail for stealing loaves of bread, Jean Valjean?
  16. Hah, FoxNews knows their audience. California also had a huge budget surplus this year. I would love to see an actual decline, since that might make it possible to buy a house, but the reality is California is doing just fine.
  17. Rebel Cops is cool, but after playing a crooked commisioner in This is the Police, I realized they were rebelling against my own creation.
  18. There is no money in drastically reducing the US's prison population. https://www.prisonpolicy.org/research/economics_of_incarceration/ Oh wait...you think our prison population is tied to crime rates. Sorry, I forgot you are still living in that fairy tale world.
  19. Scientific work aside, I don't know why people think handing out long prison terms discourages crime. There doesn't seem to be any connection to the huge boom in prison population and crime rates.
  20. Have you seen the way people drive though? We don't need that in the air. The future is not having to travel anywhere. Zoom into work and have drones deliver all your goods.
  21. Kinda racist but also just kinda lazy. Why bother with a well-developed character, just check some diversity boxes and class it a day?
  22. Warriors got past the Grizzlies. I guess that is an upset since the 3 seed beat the 2 seed. Meanwhile the NHL has 5 game 7's in the first round. Craziness.
