  1. People that will shoot others to kill have no fear of dying. They’ve crossed that bridge. More guns is not the answer. Our solution is not to have a bunch of people running around waiting to kill others.
  2. Bubba needs to go play army in the woods with his Arsenal in the meager hopes or overthrowing the liberals when they try to take over… I’m sure those parents grieving today take solace in that. Bubba gets to play some more.
  3. "well if those teacher and kids had armed themselves...." shooter probably got the gun from his dad's truck.
  4. Sheriff says now that 3 are deceased, believed to be students. A teacher was shot too.
  5. I heard someone on TV say "I've got the blood of Jesus on me" In one of those regret stories a guy who's whole family got it said "I don't understand.... we're a strong conservative Christian family"
  6. I'm friends with those people... it's not fanciful. They think vaccines are the mark of the beast.
  7. that was such an amazing play.... shows you that in the heat of the moment the best of players can lose their thought process. The game moves very fast.
  8. on the first day of Hannukuh no less.
  9. We were probably at the same shows.... the first was around 2002. We had really good seats the Palace so it was intimate for us. They came into the crowd. I remember the purple guy being right next to us. Also saw Yo Gabba Gabba at the Fox and the place went nuts, from the parents, when Biz Markie (RIP) came on stage. I thought my son was going to hyperventilate when he realized that when we told him we were going to see Yo Gabba Gabba that we meant we're going to see them.... not just on a screen. I had some work colleagues at the time from Australia and they told me the Wiggles were at one time a legit band so that's why the tunes were so catchy. They werent like the Monkees.
  10. My fear is a lot of what Baez brings offensively could be neutralized by Comerica park..... not to go all Lynn Henning on you.
  11. A president and all that entails with the job needs a certain level of privacy and space. Secret service etc. staying in a house in a subdivision creates a host of problems for everyone else that lives there.
  12. Maybe they simply don’t want to play here?
  13. bitches be tripping
  14. If he says he's running then I suspect all the others will step aside. Will someone like DeSantis still run? How can they tiptoe around him at that point? In 2016 they were saying everything about him that I say now. Even until election day they were at arm's length. Remember Ted Cruz's "Vote your conscience" at the convention? I can't see any of them backtracking now. Those that have stood up to him are not welcome in the party.
  15. It's specifically called out in the clubhouse. it's not just a general "this is wrong so don't do it". It's unique in that regard. And Pete said "Ok, you got me. I agree on a permanent ban if you don't investigate further or announce anything that you have already found". Case closed.
  16. In general I avoid lines with women or pick the one with the fewest. Could be cashier lanes, security lines…. They just take longer. Shoot me. 🤣
  17. My wife’s uncle is one of two brothers of that generation of 11 siblings left. He’s in his early 80s. Entering that phase of falling and all that. Has 2 daughters here. We got a call from another cousin who was contacted by their aunt in california that she’s not heard from him in a few days. The 2 daughters are not vaccinated, they are in their early 60s. They’re like “well we can’t go check on him…” So now it’s up to the other cousins to look after him while his daughters are busy living their best life. And his sisters who all live in California are worried sick. It’s a weird thing where one of the sisters moved to california back in the early 60s and all the other sisters followed because her grandma moved there too after the grandpa died . The brothers all stayed in Michigan.
  18. MLB’s actions against willie mays and Mickey mantle certainly look stupid now. I’m only 48 and already feel behind the times with crypto, NFT’s, gambling, and pot all being big only legal but mainstreamed. I’m not into any of it.
  19. We don’t know where the new variant originated. South Africa is where it was first detected and sequenced because they are doing a great job at those things. Since we don’t know where they begin trying to assign a geographic name is ignorant and inaccurate.
  20. I will point out that I have read that the problem with SA isn’t vaccine supply. They told the manufacturers to stop sending as they have too many. It’s vaccine resistance. Something like a 25% rate there. But I agree on travel bans. They don’t accomplish what the claim is. They are symbolic
  21. There is no solution until more people choose to get vaccinated and boosted. doing the masks was helpful as we waited for everyone to get a vaccine. Supply. Prioritization. Eligibility. Those are all non factors now. Are we backsliding even? When does fully vaxxed mean 3 shots?
  22. Happy Thanksgiving.
