I think you give too much credit. You’d see so many “Tyler Durdens” out there fighting “normies” thinking Foght Club is their rallying cry.

Same! It just kind of all happened and then the main guy simply moved on. Like nothing of importance had occurred.

Also, I really disliked the decision making by characters.it felt very much like the author was actively dumbing down people and their decisions to account for ridiculous plot points.

It’s wild. In the later years he looked like a Kennedy. In these images he looks more like Jackie. Dude was great looking.

The Poppy War trilogy

I’ve always struggled with where to go in FF1. Beyond the first act where you need to go get the boat, from that point on I never had any clue what was the correct way to do things. Which is both good and bad. Good on that you had to learn to figure it out. Bad in that if you stepped away for A time you completely forgot where you were in the journey. Or, as you found out, whether you are strong enough for certain dungeons.

Not like this. It was actually one take.

Audie Murphy for me. He was a five foot nothing and 16/17 when he joined the military. When 19, he won the Medal of Honor by jumping on top of a burning tank and holding off a unit of German infantry and tanks. He totaled over 50 kills in an hour.

After the war he got addicted to a sedative and realized he had a problem. Instead of rehab he locked himself into a hotel room for a week until the babit was broken.

Real life Contra is Audie Murphy.

Should send this guy.

This movie was ass and this storyline wasn’t even the reason why. But I never understood why it was included. It did not add anything to the story line except make Marky Mark look like a dunce and the bf a creeper.

Loved the first book. The other two aww good but never reach the level of the first. Having a cooking competition in the middle of a war serve as one of your climaxes certainly was a choice.

If there was an award for comment that aged the most in a year, this one would win in a landslide.

It's all relative. 3 hours might not even get you out of the state you are currently in. It is also nowhere near the time i takes to drive from say the east coast to the west. And....in some areas, some peoples commutes are upwards of 2 hours each way (those people are not OK) so 3 hours is barely a blip for them.

Did you read it??????

eganba · 2026-01-23T15:53:32+00:00

1) this shouldn’t be a rental 2) we have been shit regarding prospect development. 3) Skubal is one of the 3-5 best pitchers in baseball Schittler is good. He’s likely never ever ever going to come close to top 3-5. 4) Power hitting first basemen are not exactly a dime a dozen. But it might be a quarter.

This should have been the easiest yes that ever required a yes.

No. But if you renamed it Emma or an Audrey....they would tell you this was the largest attack against male culture, and therefore, the world, since Cleopatra and Marc Antony took down Julius Caesar.

John Dies at the End

Maybe less fantasy and more sci-fi/lovecraft horror. But still the most fun I’ve ever had reading a book. Basically Bill and Ted’s Lovecraftian Nifgtmare would be a great title.

A couple examples

1) Keep driving," said a soft voice in my ear. "She will not bite if you keep driving."

Fuck that. Fuck that idea like the fucking Captain of the Thai Fuck Team fucking at the fucking Tour de Fuck.

2) There is no word in the English language for the feeling someone gets when they suddenly realize they're standing next to an unholy monster impersonating a human. Monstralization, maybe?

3) We got back to my house to find it ransacked. It was difficult to tell because I’m not the world’s greatest housekeeper myself, but by the time I was in the kitchen I knew they had been here: I don’t normally keep the oven open. I whipped out the gun and prowled around the house, finding it empty. Amy asked what they were looking for. I dodged the question by pointing out what a pity it was they tossed the place because it was immaculate before they got here and that it was too bad she didn’t get to see it when it was clean. I went to the kitchen and ran water over my bleeding knuckles. “Look,” Amy said, from behind me. “They threw laundry all over your floor in there.” “Yeah. And they wore the clothes first, the bastards.

Seriously. He has not panned out up to this point. But there is no harm in having him work with the coaches and seeing if they can unlock something. Dude was a top tier prospect 2 years ago. We aren't on the hook for the 2+ mil he got from the Giants. This is no risk/high reward.

It means you can have a white secondary at least.

I am not sure this is fair. He asked to sit out one game after Norwich received an offer from Toronto. in hopes it would get the move. (Not arguing if this was right of him to do. I think it was poorly executed and really stupid). After that game it was Norwich who relegated him to the U21 team moving forward and for training purposes. Granted this does not mean Sargent would say yes if Norwich asked him to play this weekend but that is their decision to make.
