    Watched Upgrade again last night, and somehow managed to appreciate it even more. The soundtrack really hit me this time. It's so soul crushing and intense, it just manages to bring the whole thing together with a sense of desperation and agony. My girlfriend doesn't remember watching it, so she...

    SPORTS BALL!!! v2.0

    Eagles vs. Chiefs was a decent game. Didn't go the way I wanted, but a good game is a good game. It was odd seeing neither team really showing the dominance prescribed to them, but both showing the competency and ability to win. It was a game that held my attention from start to finish because...

    Sure; that's true. But that contrary argument is contingent upon beliefs that its existence is somehow pertinent to our own in an affective manner, i.e.: promise of heaven or hell, hearing prayers, paying strict attention to the things we do and orchestrating everything in a way that makes our...

    I was thinking the same thing. If they ousted him without organizing a strategy upon said ouster, it's pretty much on them to figure their own shit out now. If they kicked him out of the house, there's no obligation for him to return they key he has to the cupboard. They should have had their...

    Famous, centuries old Sycamore tree chopped down by a brat.

    The article doesn't mention the circumstances under which he was suddenly found innocent and released, so befitting this Zapp Brannigan gif, I will remain ignorantly skeptical as to this teen's complete innocence...

    Welcome to the grey. Religious belief is nothing if not a broad swath of grey. Example: fundamentalist Christians believe Eden is a real place, Adam and Eve were real people, a serpent enticed Eve with a literal apple, and from thus sprung all of humanity, and the burden of original sin we all...

    SPORTS BALL!!! v2.0

    The Broncos certainly have some momentum, and I wish them nothing but the best; anyone in the same division as the Chiefs has my support. But the Bills lost that game more than the Broncos won it; you're right. It was a comedy of errors; that 12-men on that last kick was nothing short of the...

    They’re not mutually exclusive to anyone but the most militant theists/atheists. Some believers think science is somehow an afront to the magic and wonder of thousands of years old books that “clearly” explain everything about creation and our place in it. Some non-believers think because some...

    https://youtube.com/shorts/Y-r6jMAcyV4?si=Y9rTmTdeRmPfpXzh I'm agnostic. I sit on the fence between the extreme theistic/atheistic beliefs/assumptions given neither side is objectively provable, and this has got to be the most poignant argument an agnostic can make. Next time I find myself in a...

    The "Watch Later" option is a curse and a godsend. I save no fewer than a half-dozen videos to 'watch later' every day, then, when I'm sitting on the toilet weeks later, I scroll through and wonder where my head was at when I bookmarked 10 videos in a row of people eating Carolina Reapers, each...

    SPORTS BALL!!! v2.0

    Jesus, did anyone (@Offworlder) watch the Denver Broncos vs. Buffalo Bills game last night?? Broncos squeaked it out, 24-22. How? Because the Bills put on a master class lesson on how to beat yourself. That was hate masturbation. I think Bills' Josh Allen had more completions to the defense than...

    SPORTS BALL!!! v2.0

    My Niners pulled off a convincing win yesterday against the Jaguars, a team all the pundits have been raving over given they HAD the longest winning streak in the league until we punched them in the mouth, 34-3. Highlight of the game? The play in the 2nd quarter when BOTH Nick Bosa and his old...

    No, you're right. There was something wrong with him. I'm no doctor, but my knee-jerk diagnosis would be a mild case of psychopathy. Not trying to be hyperbolic saying that, just that his very intellectually calculated manner of gaslighting and pissing people of for the sake of pissing people...
