The reveal of a major twist can spoil the movie a great deal. Imagine an Empire Strikes Back trailer with “I am your father” line in it. Or the Sixth Sense with a narrator saying “But what if you’re already dead?”

I want to like this show, but it’s tough, because I don’t like most of the characters enough to care what happens to them. Black Bolt is really growing on me, and I’m curious to see how Maximus plays out. The rest of them are just annoying, and I find myself siding with Maximum more than the writers probably intended.

As a white guy with a white wife, it never occured to me to think about the color of the guy whose jerseys we get. Thinking back on it, we’re probably football 60/40 black/white and baseball 50/50 hispanic/white. My favorite college jerseys are from favorite black atheletes I went to school with, and it never occurred

Most articles I’ve read have backpedaled to say most deadly mass shooting in modern US history (defined as 1900 on onward), and also they started getting squishy about single/few shooters versus a mob, acknowledging the Tulsa massacre. I’ll be honest and say this is the first time I’ve ever heard of the Elaine

The position of the head on the left side of the picture makes this look like an animal, not a person, which is more disturbing...

For the love of God....Latino is the Spanish-appropriate adjective. Quit forcing PC anglicizing onto these people with your Latinx BS. For all the complaints about racism here, the creation and use of the term “Latinx” seems pretty damned racist.

It’s hard to say he’s actually doing too much to try and bring about change when Kaepernick came out and said he didn’t vote because he didn’t think it mattered. Apparently thinking your presidential vote is meaningless means that your local representatives (legislators, judges, sherrifs) don’t matter. Stupid thinking

I watched this game in Houston, and this is the first time I’ve seen this play, because the local newscast cut in before they put the 1 second back on the clock, and then decided we’d rather listen to their sideline reporters blather on about the win while this play has happening behind them. All of a sudden “it’s

I stopped reading partway through once you admitted that you hadn’t watched recent seasons of shows you were deriding. My takeaways from what I read:

In the context of this article and today’s concerns though, how many consumer windmills and solar panels do you think survive hurricanes? Not just the winds, but tree limbs and what not?

It’s sometimes tough to make judgment calls without knowing all of the details. I’m not going to call the cops on someone breaking into a grocery store during a disaster (which happened during Harvey), nor breaking into a school to take shelter (also happened). But the guys empyting out a Gamestop (also happened)?

Honestly, a lot of these folks need legal advice on their options with things moving forward. A lot of people who live in low income neighborhoods that got trashed don’t always know what their options are, and what paperwork they should try and jump on for help. I sincerely help there are some pro-bono type lawyers

All of this and no Battletoads/Double Dragon? Boo!

That’s one way to look at it, and possibly the right one. However, we’re also constantly told that one way to try and bring about change is from the inside. By being on that council, they had an opportunity to try and affect how some things are handled, rather than sitting on the side, complaining. At this point, it’s

So is black math different from white math? Is hispanic math different from Asian math? Yes, better schools will be better prepared, but math is universal, unlike vocabulary. On verbal tests, I agree with you, but for things like graduate admissions (GRE tests), many times the focus will be on a particular section

So where’s Megaman & Bass?

Works great for American cheese, which doesn’t take much to melt. Not quite so with Cheddar.

Yeah, I long for the days of ancient Egypt, the Persian Empire, or Imperial China, don’t you? Stupid Americans ruined the world with their uniquely terrible ideas!

When did “folks” become a racially biased word? Good lord...

Yes, it would be much better that their stories and histories are forgotten, than to allow any descendants of the White Man to comment on or mention their culture.
