TopicDaniel Radcliffe: "I Don't Owe J.K. Rowling My Support Anymore"

Loved his response. It was perfect. He's right that his life and career are probably vastly different if not for Rowling, but also that nobody needs to follow such a person in being a piece of shit.

Clark is one of the best female NCAA basketballers ever and her game as far as passing and shooting are entertaining. Unsurprisingly, it's drawing a lot of attention. I don't believe it's a racial thing, as on the men's side, everyone is (rightfully) on team LeBron or team Jordan, and anyone with an operating brain stem could agree that Steph Curry has been entertaining to watch.

If demand for Chicago Sky-involved games gets to a fever pitch, then yeah, definitely televise both.

I'm one, having been single for six years now. I certainly go through times where I want to change that, but they're rarely lasting enough for me to actually take much initiative.

On the other hand, I have a buddy who can't be single and ended up marrying a Trumper.

The only thing here that even remotely gives me pause is the chance of it deciding to nuke anything, but also to be in that decision making spot, we would probably have to be in active heavy war. Trump is someone I could see just arbitrarily deciding to launch a nuke.

One thing I've never done in my life, however, is sneeze more than twice in a row.

TopicWould a Revolution by the Left Happen During a Second Trump Presidency?
Goldenguy
04/29/24 9:17:23 AM

I think there's an illusion that gun ownership is low on the left, but that is probably because virtually everyone who is out buying enough guns for a small army (I have a libertarian coworker who has dozens) is on the right, and honestly.. you can't use them all at the same time.

That being said, I have a hard time envisioning a revolution like what we have seen in the past.

Totality is fine, but be aware of how much time you might have there, it is but a fraction of the total eclipse time.

During partial, you're unlikely to be able to discern it with the naked eye since there's still a huge amount of light coming from it.

The neighborhood nut from my childhood thinks there's some darker meaning behind the general suggestions to have stocked up on your food and whatnot ahead of the eclipse. He then says "they're gonna come knocking on your door for food next!"

Very typical libertarian type who is outwardly "both sides are bad" but also almost straight edge hyper conservative.
