Yeah, but I bet he doesn't believe in man-made climate change.

I'm about 3 episodes into Season 2 of Fleabag and damn if this season isn't as good, if not better, than Season 1. What a brilliant show. I haven't seen anything this well-written and acted since Breaking Bad.

Nice! You jumped me. I'm at $131K, in 43rd.

Yeah, I love it. It's such a better experience than using the native ESPN or NBC apps for sports. And I love being able to watch the same stuff - and pick up where I left off - on my phone, laptop, home desktop, home TV, condo TV, etc. And for the most part, it just always works.

This is The Chicago Tribune's one-star review of Radiohead's The Bends. Think this guy wants this one back? Along with Beck's "Loser," Radiohead's smash single "Creep" made up a sort of low self-esteem hit parade for disaffected pop fans. Lacking that dubious appeal, there's little on the British gr...

You guys are not white dudes with privilege. Come on. You are successful because of your hard work and your attitude. I can tell because you are very caring towards me and I appreciate it. So don't use that as a caveat, just speak openly. Oh, I'm a privileged white dude. I would never claim otherwi...

I don't care too much about all this, but I thought this article about how the British press treats William vs. Harry was pretty interesting . I don't know how much of a role racism plays in it all, but it's definitely not zero. Yeah, that laid it out pretty nicely. Somewhere else I saw an article ...

I can't read the article, but my guess is its about unintentional condescension, along the lines of how certain guys will talk sports very differently with women than men because of their own assumptions. If you're knowledgeable about something and people just assume you aren't, repeatedly, I can s...

My bro-in-law has been riding a hot streak the last couple of weeks and just moved into first place.

I know I'm a white guy who can never really see the world through black eyes, but this ... it just seems nuts. It sounds like this woman is complaining that servers and patrons - at the VERY FANCY, she stresses, restaurants she goes to - are too friendly and helpful to her. https://www.washingtonpos...

The idea that a team from Sammamish played a state champion from Georgia is pretty comical. Sammamish is a wealthy suburb of Redmond/Bellevue populated mostly by Microsoft employees. It's probably about 40% populated by SE Asian immigrants.

Drifting along at $14150 - looking for opp to double up. About to go all-in with AJ suited. Good luck! That's a pretty good hand to take a chance with. It was. But it got beat by a 33 call. At no point in two months did any of my strong hands ever hit the board on the flop. Like the program had it ...

My Saturday morning hot take that only Giff will agree with: James Harden is significantly underrated . I don't think there's quite enough appreciation for the way that he can singlehandedly turn any hodgepodge of supporting players into an elite offense. Averaging 38.4 ppg while maintaining a 64.5...

Do all restrooms on your floors have codes, or just the womens.

In my building only the womens does, so i can go to any one of the crossover floors and use that one.

Never heard of codes on office bathrooms. That seems weird.

I just saw it last night and thought it was great. I'm not really sure why folks are hating on it. I guess some people feel it didn't properly follow the fake rules for the Force or something? I've even seen people rank the various SW films on Twitter with this one below some of the prequels, which ...

Seriously doubt Hitler would have claimed to be more Jewish though. Even though he supposedly was part Jewish, right?

Looks like I joined in May 2004. I forgot that my original username was Dave. I later changed to Rerun, and I've been Shirley for a long time now. https://web.archive.org/web/20070220231 ... b864adf164

Looks like The Swamp was created on January 28, 2003. https://web.archive.org/web/20030207021 ... um.php?f=1

The Festitivus thread got me wondering when the SportsFrog got started. It looks like the first post was January 3, 2003. https://web.archive.org/web/20030210062 ... 30101.html

Coming up on 17 years!

Finally a TV for Jerloma!

(yes, I know he probably won't be able to see this. Irony!)

Those videos infuriate me. So obviously, dozens, maybe hundreds of people worked on those decorations. They may be a bit over the top, but they're pretty amazing and took a hell of a lot of work. Work that I'm sure Melania did almost none of. She probably approved some designs here and there, but yo...

I'm in.

It is interesting that Maradona's shirt doesn't have the exclamation point for emphasis.

He snorted it

Rotten Tomatoes is at 57% with 140 reviews. Phantom Menace was 53%. Wasn't Phantom Menace widely praised for the first few days/weeks after release? Not that I remember, at least not by critics. Yeah, I don't think so. Although I think Ebert liked it, believe it or not. But I think there's a 0% cha...

I too am frustrated at the inability of these people to know the difference between a monkey and a chimpanzee.

(and yeah, the obvious racist part is frustrating too)

Crazy how over the past several years, Leicester has been all over the table. No kidding! Screen Shot 2019-12-17 at 12.40.28 PM.png The top season was in the Championship. And in 2014-15, the had to go on an incredible run at the end of the season (something like 5 wins in 6 games) just to avoid re...

Really don't think we need season-ending show spoilers in this thread. I edited the last three posts.

I just watched Revenge of the Sith. I'm sure I watched it long ago, but didn't remember much. It's definitely the best of the three prequels. And yet, it's still bad. Such bad dialog. It's amazing that George Lucas ever created the original Star Wars.

No way. I'd be the second oldest Wilbury!

Holy shit

Yeah, it was kind of a sloppy game, but those PKs were pretty incredible. You could kind of tell that the guys were feeding on each others' success in a positive way.

UVA taking on Georgetown tonight in the NCAA Championship game. A win would give UVA their eight title.

After Toni Morrison died, I felt bad that I'd never read any of her books. So I put a bunch on my hold list at the library. I'm currently reading 'Jazz'...and I'm not sure what to think. The writing is spectacular on its own...but I'm not sure if the story itself is really doing anything for me. Tr...

I just doubled up as well. I'd had to fold a lot of hands in row before finally getting two playable hands in a row. On the second I flopped 2 pair for my AT hole cards. I'm at about $117K now and can start being a bit more aggressive.

Yeah, the anti-aging stuff was a bit distracting to me too. Almost the uncanny valley at times. And DeNiro still didn't look that young. Still, I thought the movie was great. Made me want to read that book.

OK, I may have found the problem. Can someone (a non-moderator) try posting a link to a tweet and/or video?

So, is everyone but me having problem posting tweets, youtube vids, etc? If so, it must be a permissions thing, but I haven't been able to tell why.

I used the "quote" function to see how yours and rass's posts were constructed and they didn't look any different, so may be a rights thing? Also, I can see the "media embed" icon when posting, but when using it get a message saying: You cannot use certain BBCodes . You shouldn't need to use the Me...
