    DUDE STOP. JUST STOP. Would you rather be lead by a black woman? Think of how bad that would be.

    and a black woman that didn't get the nomination the "normal" way

  2. It had to do with the economy and the stimulus checks... I made the comment that a lot of people who were fortunate enough to keep working during the early days of the pandemic found themselves saving money and then then getting an infusion of cash from those checks were spending money on projects and other things they normally might not have done... thus causing some of the inflation we saw... "you guys sit there in your finished basements while working people suffer" or something to that effect.

    I read that while working in my non cubicle in my unfinished basement.

  3. For me apps are fine in limited circumstances but in general I don't like it when the games I want to watch are on them.  I like to flip around.  Unless it's a "must see" game like a playoff or an opener where it will have my full attention...  Otherwise having to exit out and then go back is annoying.  Then they forget who you are and you have to log in again.  I'm a dinosaur.  I still have cable.   I will be ticked if I have to pay for this more than I am now.  I'm already on an elevated tier that includes sports, like MLB Network, Big Ten,  NHL Network, etc. and that includes FanDuel.  Before their fight a a few years ago the old Bally's wasn't on that tier, they moved it to that.  Fine, whatever.   But if I now have to go above that, yeah it will bother me.  I'll pay it because I'm a slappy... but it stinks.

    If it were just me in the house, I'd go bare bones and get rid of all of it, like my son has done since he moved out.  But my wife needs Friends on during the day on TBS and at night on Nick.  Yeah, I know it's on HBO Max.  That's not the same. 

     

     

  4. MAGA loves it when they go after lib stuff but when they  go after MAGA it's all "Why do they have to be so political?".  That's the MAGA way.  It's based on stupidity.  They're just too dumb to recognize their own hypocrisy.  Thinking is woke.  Faggot ****.

     

  5. I have a casual friend, younger lady in her early 30s.... she was with friends on the ice and her phone fell into the hole.  She got a new phone, old phone wasn't paid off yet, so there's that.  She didn't know her apple ID password, everything was face ID and passcodes.  The email address she had linked to her account was an old college email she no longer has access to.  It was a real mess getting it all straightened out.

    Someday the story will come out about what leverage Mamdani wielded over him to completely bring Trump to heel, and I hope I live long enough to hear it.

    Trump is a NY guy and he likes winners.  That's it.  There's no principals to it. 

  7. He'll just go with whoever he thinks will win. He's best buds with the NYC mayor now.  Politics don't matter. Optics do.  And if Cornyn wins again, he'll be in office 4 years after Trump is gone.  Presidents come and go, senators live on.  I thought of that when John McCain, 8+ years after losing to Obama, and after his presidency, cast the deciding vote to save Obamacare.

    I liked the movie but might have to say it might be a tad overrated.   Not sure how its taking all of the awards over the new naked gun

    Me too.  I loved Sinners much much more... to the point where anytime I see it's on, I finish it.  

    One Battle was fine.  Very good in fact.  But I didn't see it as this great thing either.  Everybody did well in it, well casted, and funny at the right times.  But of the two I think Sinners is the better one.  I think the term overrated is applicable.

    I get it because it comes free with my DirecTV Extra Innings subscription. Since DEI (get it?) isn't available until Opening Day, then neither is mlb.tv, for me, anyway.

    What I meant was, you don’t get a complimentary sub thru being a Cubs season ticket holder?  Do you still have the tickets?  I’ve had one via the Tigers for a long time.  It was part of the purchase
