  1. The only thing I beat to a pulp is my dick, because these hands are for loving.
  2. Motoring. It's motoring a boat.
  3. And that's all before the time he threw a kettle ball at his son's strength and conditoning coach's head.....
  4. Is it a bandwidth issue?
  5. I’m 8 miles away from one of those.
  6. Was your uncle boning French chicks in 1984?
  7. The key points (I think) is that kickoff ball is in the same place but the actual line of scrimmage is 25 yards in front of that. Receiving and kicking and lineups are 5 yards apart and no one moves until one of two returners touches the ball. There are no fair catches but the ball can still roll into the end zone for a touchback. Essentially, everything is centered around nobody moving until the ball is caught, shortening the time and distance for the kicking team’s players to run up on the returner.
  8. They're going to great lengths to reduce the high speed impacts of special teams plays.
  9. There are a lot of fucking Cybertrucks all of the sudden. I saw my first one in the wild like a month ago. Now I can’t go a day without seeing at least one. They’re even more hideous than I expected.
  10. You should do the Camino de Santiago.
  11. I don’t think I ever used Mapquest, but I jumped straight to a GPS in the ‘90s from a Thomas Guide.
  12. In 1984, I went to the Olympics in Los Angeles.
  13. Not to get all serious and shit, but it says something about the women who reclaim derogatory terms like these from men. You never see passive women called either, only women who are standing up for themselves.
  14. I will take your song and appreciate the hell out of it. Also, snogging you right back.
  15. Well, no. You’ll get a “Pope Francis is ruining the Church,” or “These bishops are not just disrespecting the pontif, they’re disrespecting the Faithful.” We’ve always understood what the analogs to “high” and “low” are, but the current crisis gives outsiders easily defined parallels.
  16. There is a clear delineation between conservative and progressive Catholics, and it's always existed.
  17. Ghosty is misspeaking there. The county as a whole isn't "High Catholic," but its relatively small Catholic Church is. Tolkien was part of and highly informed by a comparatively conservative Roman Catholic which, in turn, infuses a religious fundamentalism that was out of step with the rest of Flock even at that time. A subtext to Tolkien's highly symbolic fantasy is, in fact, a fictional alternate mythology to the United Kingdom. Without bothering with the obvious clickbait YT in the OP, it's worth noting that there is a fundamental disconnect between Buddhist philosophic traditions and Judeo/Christian philosophic traditions. The former places greater importance on the environment than the latter, and that difference tends to be more apparent if you attempt to place something like Rings beside any of Miyazaki's morality tales. In Rings, Middle Earth is subject to the battle between good and evil, an almost literal representation of the Garden of Eden. The creatures that inhabit Middle Earth are poisoned by evil just like their environment, but that poisoning tends to be a permanent and destructive gift from heigher powers. In Miyazaki's world, the environment is weakened by the toxic presence of humans but does not lose its core identity through the wounds it receives. The key difference is who the evil presence is. For Tolkien, it's the unseen and unspoken embodiment of evil, Satan. For Miyazaki, it's explicitly humans.
  18. Happy Birthday Seight!
  19. They all do the same thing for all intents and purposes. So, I take it that your whore friends diminish themselves by being promiscuous?
  20. Oh I think we all agree on that.
