So between the new offensive foul rules (the Harden rules for those keeping track at home) and this, the relevance of the Nets this season has dropped significantly...

A bus that size would have had air breaks which would have gone to their default position of ‘on’ so the bus would have skidded to a halt.
Assuming you were looking for a dose of technical pedantry, I offer what I can.

I feel like we were warned. I don’t remember which (Roiland/Harmon) said it, but they specifically said they were trying to turn around new seasons more quickly but were concerned that the quality would dip as a result. This season isn’t at the same standard as some previous seasons, but it’s still pretty solid.

It’s definitely struggling to live up to the marketing.

I think ‘taste test’ is the most accurate term for this.

I love that the prudes thought they’d shame Taika/Rita/Tessa...

I did not know that, definitely changes the calculus. Given that, I think they’re going to have a hard time moving him, but who knows, maybe this is the wake up call for him.

I wonder how much value Simmons has in trade at this point, at the very least Philly is going to have to eat a good chunk of his current contract I suspect.

I have two hopes for these playoffs, eliminate the Nets and Clippers. My hope for either of those things happening is fading a bit more every night.

I fear we’re going to get Clippers/Nets and I will have to root for the Clippers or for the arena to collapse on all of them, both of which make me feel dirty.

X-Factor and Marauders are my two current favorite X-Titles. All of them are pretty cool, but I’m particularly enjoying those.

Most traffic stops could be alleviated with dashcams and a ticket in the mail. Traffic stops should be for situations where the driver is putting other people in imminent danger, reckless driving, hit and run, drunk driving, etc.

Bring Your Whole Crew was my PVP anthem.

There’s actually a pretty solid biography about him on Amazon that I believe accomplishes what you’re looking for, with John Carpenter, Guillermo del Toro, and a few other notables.

It’s also a huge part of the debt to prison pipeline, even though we don’t have debtors prison, but we do, even though we don’t, but we do.

The banter is great, I think the exploration of the sociological ramifications of the blip is actually far more interesting. You have five years where existing in-group and out-group social dynamics were deeply disrupted and likely radically changed, both on a geopolitical nation state level, but also in a more…

If only Tucker would smile more, maybe do something with his hair...

Agreed. At the same time, there was easily an hour that could have been cut from the movie without hampering any of the character arcs. But it was light years beyond the 2017 trainwreck.

Disingenuous interlocutor is GOP SOP.

I’m glad they did a study, I hope it goes somewhere, I hope it develops into policy, procedure, and practice. They issued a bulletin about this in 2006 that said almost the same thing, but it was pretty much ignored (insert shock here): https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/fbi-white-supremacists-in-law-enforcement

We really need to start teaching critical thinking in kindergarten, try to catch these people before they drop out.
