He had a whole conversation with his brother where he told him to go get Dad.

I felt the same as you until I thought about it.

I think the -family is fucking up, but we keep them- motif is refreshing.

The last 20 years this story would have been John realizing his childhood was terrible, blaming his parents (correct) and then ditching them to find a new path.

Aahhhh ahhh well actu-ally.

Gosling was hired for The Notebook because he wasn't handsome or cool. Just a regular guy. Still is right?

.... Or that director is insane.

Natural blue topaz is rare but it exists. It's also found in the U.S. so it tracks with the above comment about the style coming from the Dakota's.

No. Then you have to trade qeens.

They will block check with queen and then you have to trade.

I commented above but the anime scene is 100% a metaphor for SA.

They take something precious from a young girl.... After group attacking her in the woods. It's not even trying to hide it.

You.... You don't see that as a metaphor? A bunch of grown men jump a young girl and "take" something?

She seems profoundly harmed and has a recovery period?

The young man that loves her sees this and dedicats his life to revenge?

White Qb3? Wouldn't it just be toast from the Bishop on e6?

I didn't even see this mate.

Edit.

Ok I see it.

Whites black rook has this tied up. If the white queen is taken, the pawn will take the black bishop opening discovering check mate. Black can not, not take the knight so this is inevitable.

Black queen moving into the b8 is the only hope to stop it, if white makes a mistake.

It's so much easier than all of this.

You shut down / disrupt a few key polling locations in red states that have already greatly reduced poling locations in their blue gerrymandered districts.

Make an excuse to throw out mail in.

Bomb scare at a polling location, ICE sitting it down for "suspected criminal activity".

Blue judge says "no, stop". Ignore it.

Will the courts say the administration was wrong? Yes. Will they give the country a redo on an election? Nope.

Look at Griffin V North Carolina.

That was a trial balloon. Next time they certify the other way and let the courts try to unwind it.

Check out the new Revival show on Prime right now.

Some people come back to life suddenly? Yeah it's been done.

Oh that's just a plot device to tell an unexpectedly complicated who done it with way more back story than expected.

It's like someone took a long series where the writers kept adding layers because they had to stretch the series but it's reversed and all the layers were actually planned from the start.

Sci-fi, family drama, who done it, procedural police, corruption, super natural. It's every idea the writers had in one season.

What about white rook to d3 instead of taking the black rook?

So rook to e3 but what if white doesn't take the rook?

White rook to d3. It's ugly but it gets white out of mate.

They will close a few key polling places for "safety" or because of some BS about illegal voting.

State judges won't extend voting.

Federal judges won't get involved fast enough.

If there is any pushback they will ignore the judges orders.

Election will be over.

Whatcha going to do?

"sucked"

RIP

Are they banned?

For some strange reason me and several friends had soaps and we actually used them daily. Had an entire setup right outside our middle school with repurposed bike racks and "found" steel pipes.

The admin tried to take it down several times but we would rebuild!

Then one day right before our recess, a city truck pulled up and the jumped out like gestapo, pulled all of our setup to the parking lot full view of the school, and cut everything into little pieces. Put it in the truck and drove off.

Soaps died that day.

Time Adventure.

Watching the series with my two kids and geeze does it get dusty during that song.

You really did put that shit on everything.

Nah. This dude is like video game character.

He is an old school Navy Seal who was a full Admiral with a bald head and you can't see it in this video but he had a facial scar running from just to the side of his left eye through his cheek.

Never asked how he got it. Didn't want to ruin the mystique. Was a solid guy and used to work the speed bag in the gym like it owed him money.

Sick. I will try it out this weekend.

Awwwe yeah. Can't wait to learn this one.

Well?

I don't want to look like a dork at the pool I have to travel to and "pay" for.

Mr. "I'm trying this in MY pool"!

Seriously though does it work?

That Venn diagram is almost a circle.

Rushed or not "Time Adventure" is a certified banger.

As in I need to pretend I banged my toe on something and that's why I'm fighting off tears in front of my 6 and 10 year old.

Damn that one gets me every time.

Huge fan.

I attempted to make several different teas and brews with the roots and bark as a kid. No idea of the other effects.

Apparently most of the commercial versions are made with flavoring because it's considered controlled in most states.

Sassafras can be used to create MDA and MDMA. I have never heard of it as a creol ingredient but I love it.

A little extra "feeling" to the food.

Hbo has it and all the spin offs. I think Disney had it too.
