I'm not harassing him, it's literally just a creative expansion of his nickname!

yes my love?

first man in history to be undersold by baseball pants

he really does have a juicy jiggly fat dumpy

it's so funny trying to augment my shitty public school + community college + SEC school education in my 30s. like here my stupid ass is trying to learn differential equations and Mandarin in the vain hope it'll be useful some day

the guy who caught cal raleigh’s 61st home run with a fan

this rules so much

I've had my own issues with how exploitative the tourism industry is to poor people in Sevier County, but that is preferable to the relative squalor Dolly herself grew up in and which marks most of the rural counties in the region to this day, and I think it's important to contextualize that

I'll say this; if the worst comes to fruition, East Tennessee will have lost the last living national representation of the kind of person which was so common to this place, but is much rarer now

sorry, I was optimistic. that was a mistake and won't happen again

reaching dangerous and otherwise irresponsible levels of "I'm starting to believe"

it is kind of incredible that there's a company which has a premise of "what if we made Viagra chewable and also marginally dangerous"

did famed theoretical physicist Paul Dirac ever do the tomahawk chop is a personal question I've been sitting on for a while

?????????????????

they're at like -71 point diff and joe flacco has a 2-6 td-int ratio what do they possibly gain from this?

i don't know man, when you see these kind of complaints levied against new york or boston, it's not believable but at least it's a kind of logically progressing fantasy. when you see it levied against chattanooga or huntsville -- which i have -- it's just stupid

i think asking why america can't be like japan is an artifact of american boomer fears about japan "overtaking" us. but we have more land and not four decades of economic stagnation, hence why the situations are not really comparable in the slightest

conservatives like to cite the 99% conviction rate japan has as proof that america is too woke on criminality, but the united states would also have a conviction rate above 99% if it were measured like japan's.

no, the issue is a broader need to leave behind those we deem too unfortunate to save

I realize this discourse is like a decade old at this point but in light of the fact we have the newsroom equivalent of Disney Adults running the show now, it's unfortunately relevant again

if you approach a Sorkin show with the general idea that this is as much of a fantasy as The Hobbit is but with upper middle class flunkies being led by a much more successful man instead, they're not bad shows

the failure is that most people think this is how reality *should* be

steve bono wide open touchdown levels of completely idiotic and improbable and strangely beautiful in one go

I got a bunch of different resources. tell me if you need anything else and I'd be happy to help

Memrise has a few things like Duolingo but with native speakers and iirc is still free for most of the content

otherwise, it's Anki. but that's a desktop app that requires a bit of know-how to get to work on mobile

at least the opening scene of The Newsroom is kinda good even if what the guy says is the kind of thing people on this site take as high art

can't wait for the CBS Evening News to be about some poor unsuspecting teenager's half-joking Twitter posts

his program sounds like if a high school coach suddenly got picked for a major college job, right down to players being catty to each other and the coaches being catty to their own players

not that I would know anything about that

so, basically every single concern people had going in has been substantiated in a way even his critics likely didn't anticipate

travis hunter's body control is so unreal lol

brutal swing of momentum

oh my GOD LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

if i have to suffer in this brain, everyone else does too

it's funny because his mechanics aren't terrible either. he's a *little* wide in his early wind-up but like, he just puts too much juice into EVERY SINGLE THROW and he cannot correct this
