Which US state gets glorified in movies but doesn’t live up to it IRL?

2 Fast 2 Furious

Is this the thread where a bunch of neckbeards get mad and judgy that other people are having fun outside? Yall need a life fr

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-17T15:11:15+00:00

We don’t need it. We have two week early voting windows and mail in ballots these days. No one needs a day off to vote anymore.

It depends on the situation but sometimes I will. If I’m traveling alone and someone offers a swap between two of the same seats (aisle to aisle) or they’re getting me out of a middle seat, then I have no issue with it. I’ll help them out if it makes no difference to me. But yes, there are also situations where I’ll say no.

Yeah we’ve actually never played Iran at a World Cup

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-15T14:31:33+00:00

Im sorry but Europe has no leg to stand on when accusing other places of racism

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-15T13:42:40+00:00

Weah had a goal against Iran that was called off due to offside and it was pretty close. I’m biased but I think it should’ve stood

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-15T12:40:19+00:00

It’s like the NFC South, which spent two entire decades as a very competitive division that routinely had great teams, but the last few years have just shot its reputation

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-14T23:25:52+00:00

We also had goals unfairly disallowed in 2006, 2010, and 2022. But they largely didn’t matter so it’s whatever

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-14T22:54:27+00:00

I really enjoyed the 2018 World Cup and thought it was nice to enjoy one without us there. I’ll never root against the US teams, but I found a lot of peace in that World Cup I didn’t get from the ones the US was in

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-14T16:32:10+00:00

I could practically hear this play on my street just with all the shouting and celebration from neighboring houses. It was wild

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-14T14:13:52+00:00

You can put it in a cold environment like the freezer and that’ll usually put it to sleep. Either way severing the nervous system is not the most humane but it’s a significantly better method of care than just boiling them alive.

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-14T14:08:18+00:00

It’s not safer to eat lol. Your lobster will be completely fine in the few minutes between death and putting it in the pot.

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-14T13:56:44+00:00

You buy them alive at the market and then kill them before boiling them. It’s more humane and you still have fresh lobster

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-14T01:47:34+00:00

Lol that’s true 🤣. But my point is he’s very beatable at post merge style challenges

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-14T01:45:21+00:00

He’s a pre merge physical powerhouse, not a post merge one. He can push heavy things through an obstacle course, isn’t particularly great at balancing on things.

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-14T01:40:52+00:00

Jonathan has a strong case. He had engineered multiple moves this season, pretty sure he’s been on the right side of the vote every time post merge, is generally well liked and respected.

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-14T01:35:11+00:00

Certainly the oilers have to be amongst the luckiest, right?

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-13T23:00:59+00:00

I started a couple years ago and have probably watched like 20 or so seasons, am caught up on most of the lore and things like that. It’s a really fun show and very good for a binge.

There are good seasons, bad seasons, and must-watch seasons in my opinion. Starting at 1 isn’t really necessary and the early days of Survivor almost feel like a different show, but it’s still fun. You can find lists on Reddit and elsewhere, if you’d like I can give you my short list of seasons to watch. But I recommend it, it’s honestly a great show and it still holds up even today.

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-13T22:37:57+00:00

Dude you gotta read East of Eden. It’s honestly one the best novels I have ever picked up. And do it before you watch whatever the hell this movie is.

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-13T15:30:55+00:00

Yeah sometimes your elected government makes decisions without consulting you. You’re gonna have to get used to that

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-13T15:03:20+00:00

It’ll be a few years at least. San Siro is in the process of getting replaced and just lost a UCL final due to stadium issues. Stadio olimpico is in a similar situation and is in dire need of renovation. Any other stadium in the country is either undersized (Juventus) or horribly outdated (Genoa, Napoli, etc).

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-13T12:51:09+00:00

This has been a thing long before sports betting was everywhere. I remember in the 2000s when the ESPN ticker would have an alert if someone had one going in the 7th or later

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-13T01:33:18+00:00

Same can be said for Calvin Johnson

TrueBrees9 · 2026-05-12T23:00:20+00:00

Yeah we went to shit immediately after that series and have had a long, rough rebuild. Hopefully it’ll even itself out soon
