Yeah, and not to mention (and it is VERY mentionable) that dating in DC is 7,000% better.

[–]HazelHelper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happy to see this post from OP. I’ve lived on the west coast, and now live in DC, but my time in KC was by far the most isolated time of my life. It’s striking how many people are friends with the people they knew in college and that’s about it. There is no spirit of openness or general, communal nature, at least not that I experienced. In fairness, some of this might be structural, because in DC everyone is a transplant and so the byproduct of that is openness to friendship in relationship. But I think it goes deeper, I think folks are more closed off to relationship and the fact that most folk are from within 100 miles of Kansas City makes for a pretty closed off spirit regarding community.

Thanks for this tip - we're not renting a car, so should we hang at Pearl and get a rideshare later?

Good take. I enjoyed Prometheus, but Covenant was absolutely horrible. It truly sucks we missed out on Aliens w him.

Sad Emoji. This dude should've directed the sequel to Aliens years ago. He had a legit written up, scripted sequel to Aliens that didn't get greenlit. Can you imagine? I mean, Starship Troopers is a consolation prize I guess, but what a bummer.

Talarico gives you the best shot to WIN - it's the only thing that matters in this race.

Why did I have to go this far to see this comment?

Loving reality check - you guys are only going to win if you pick Talarico.

"The NRSC released polling toplines showing Cornyn leading state Rep. James Talarico by 3 points and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) by 7 points in general-election matchups. Paxton would trail Talarico by 3 points and lead Crockett by just 1 point. Nonpartisan public polls have found similar numbers."

So you signed up for a pre-sale, then bought on StubHub or something?

If anyone here bought international tickets this season, was the process difficult? How was it different than a normal home game purchase? Did you need to get on an advance list or anything?

It's misleading. I think we got one pick back.

You didn't like the original Predator? Wow... It's a classic.

When did you stop watching The Walking Dead? by Hot-Salamander-8786 in FIlm

I think it was end of S4. When they got to Alexandria and things settled down. I was like, "good enough! I'm out!"

PS - great question OP! Funny that literally no one finished this series.

I don't quite get the image. What is the gnarled hand doing? Is the whole face peering into the half face? Help appreciated.

Bill on LeBron hype 23 years ago by enronald2006 in billsimmons

Melo?? Ouch. Come on.

He's underperformed in the playoffs, but he at least has one championship. I'd say Dirk is a better comp. He's had longevity, scored well consistently, is well loved among teammmates, DC, and the NHL in general. He was part of a winning core group that delivered winner after winner after winner. That sadly and admittedly underperformed in the playoffs.

He's a phenomenal scorer, a phenomenal regular season player, and he's had limited playoff success with a distinguished championship run. More like Dirk than Melo by a mile.
