I’m not sure I agree with some of your specifics here, especially this idea that impeachment would galvanize Trump’s base.

I think if we learn nothing else from the report, we’ve learned that Trump has been protected by his people quite significantly. It seems pretty clear by the letter of the law, nothing illegal was done by him directly (not for lack of trying it would seem).

I may have been a bit dishonest, but not entirely purposeful. I will note that most of what I’ve felt qualified as obstruction is what happened prior to the investigation starting, not after.

President Trump obstructs investigation because he’s frustrated...I suppose it could work there, too?

I was being purposely hyperbolic.

Cool, cool...Good to know if I stab my neighbor because he angers and frustrates me, as long as I didn’t do it with the intent to commit a crime, I should be good.

Funny enough it was even any of those, either. It was a complete and total defensive collapse by Tampa and a goalie that was unable to cover for it. To give up 19 goals in four games is next level terrible.

The problem (one of many!) for these two is, while there is quite the market for manufactured outrage in today’s hellscape, they always manage to pick the most mundane dumb shit to drum up outrage and no one cares.

I don’t think the writing was bad, just that as a whole it was weaker than the first four seasons. I suppose that’s subjective and also influenced by my reading of the books.

I think this is mostly correct, and I think GRRM got suckered into it in his own books and then Weiss and Benioff did as well trying to replicate those books (for as long as they did).

Dental insurance is the worst. I was born without 9 permanent teeth, didn’t lose them, simply never had them. This required my poor mother to spend roughly $8,000 for braces when I was younger and I’ve spent close to $30,000 in implants and crowns so I don’t look like someone smashed my face with a baseball bat.

This is an important point. EQ and WoW were so new in so many ways, the experience is completely driven by that, and not the actual quality of the game. Nostalgia makes you remember that, and not the down time, the grind, the boring nothingness, etc.

I wonder when one of these coaches will recall how getting screamed at by the AD or boosters has a positive impact on their performance.

Let me tell ya...the ability of the Demonrats to consistently rig these elections is getting out of control. If we don’t stop them soon, they might win one of these elections that they’re constantly rigging.

Yeah, it’s tough to embrace being the heel when no one cares.

I don’t disagree with either of your first two paragraphs and haven’t argued either. Nothing you said there should be diminished if someone climbed an easier wall or less challenging mountain.

I see a lot of people in the comments seem to be missing the point (or maybe I am, so if you have compelling justification I’d love to hear it).

I wince every time I watch him fight. It’s great entertainment, but anyone that can box even a little (which is asking a lot in MMA) makes him absorb so much punishment.

I couldn’t finish Manhunt. I just...it was too much after awhile and lost my attention.

It may have been mistaken identity. If we take the victim at his last words to his wife, the attacker seemed to be convinced he had said/done something to another woman.
