I agree that the Marvel movies have warped everyone’s view on a lot of things: villains, interesting heroes, cinematography, plots that are different from movie-to-movie, etc. But the gist of your statement is just dumb. Vader did in 4 minutes in R1 what no other villain was able to accomplish in entire films for this…

I’m with you. I don’t think it’s a possibility, but I’d really like it to happen. There’s a series of good Anakin Skywalker turns into Darth Vader movies out in the ether somewhere. They’ll just never get made.

Yeah, I’m actually in the minority that doesn’t think the prequels are the worst thing ever. However, where they faltered was reducing the mythology presented in the OT to a crumbling mess. We were lead to believe that Anakin Skywalker was an alpha-Jedi (I know “alpha” contains connotations these days that make it…

Emmit wasn’t lightning fast, though.

His campaign wasn’t successful though. He got less votes than the two Republican candidates who ran before him, and they both lost. Ground game was important. If she could’ve gotten just a handful more people out, she would’ve won.

Definitely one of the weakest candidates ever. I knew it from the beginning. IN 2008, people proved they didn’t want to vote for her. But I still mistakenly thought she’d beat the Moldy sack of pig vomit. Scary thing though: other than Sanders or maybe Warren, who else is there? The party is screwed.

I do all my heavy lifting in Amuri Venture or Cloud Xero Shoes, because I don’t trust walking about in the gym with no shoes on. I paid like $40 for them.

I think he’s full of shit. I can do multiple pull-ups with 100 pounds hanging from a dipping belt (making me p4p one of the best pullup guys in my gym), and doing sets of 8-10 pullups would get me tired relatively quickly. I’d be surprised if I could get 5 good sets in in a reasonable amount of time.

Nah. I live in a small town, so all the crossfitters go to the same gym and post the same shit on facebook. I know all of these assholes. Of dozens, maybe like 5 or 6 are “jacked.” The rest don’t look any more impressive than your typical gym goer. But who do people think of when they think of the crossfit cult in…

Eh. I’ve read the Stoics and have found that their thoughts have helped make me a kinder, gentler, more patient person. Not exactly “alpha” attributes those ones.

USFL wasn’t subpar. That’s the truly frightening aspect of it.

I agree with this. But I also read a lot of, seemingly, obscure books that weren’t and aren’t carried in any book store I’ve ever been in. So that’s the upside of using the internet to buy books. But, yeah, do I miss book stores.

Nah. Same here. I mean, don’t get me wrong, winning is more fun than losing. And I had a few losses that stung pretty hard. But 90-percent of the time I was happy just to be wrestling/playing baseball/running track. In some ways I even liked practiced better than the games/matches/meets because in practice you got to…

It’s the hypocrisy that gets me. That was their entire argument against Clinton and now they’re ok with it.

What do they care? They can just blame everybody’s shitty lives on Mexicans and Muslims and they will believe them.

Well, he is a writer.

Go jerk yourself off in private, man.

Best reply on here.

Everybody works hard. Go work a week at a McDonald’s and tell me they don’t work hard.

Everybody already works hard you asshole. Go work at McDonald’s for a day and see if you don’t prefer whatever it is you do for a living.
