We’ll go to a 64 team playoff before an NIT for CFB.

I really like the show and the characters. Everything is intriguing enough to keep me hooked and Vince always delivers with dialogue, cinematography, and pacing.

But I really worry about the delay between seasons. This show is too slow with too little payoff to go years between seasons. The finale felt like a midseason episode. Nothing concluded for the story arc of the season, which was focused on understanding a way to reverse the joining.

A better ending would have been one more episode with Carol and Manuoso succeeding —maybe with just one like Rick or Zosia— and learning what the hive would do in that event. Like either changing their frequency or killing the unjoiner or abandoning Carol and Manuoso permanently. I don’t know…it ended with the two characters agreeing to save the world. We already knew they both wanted to do that six episodes ago.

Again, I’m fine with the season if I knew season 2 was coming in August. The idea of waiting for this show to return maybe-sometime in 2027 is a big hindrance to me continuing to care about it.

If I have a history of bloating easily, should I take a particular type of creatine?

Ponce de Leon, Alexander the Great, and Sîn-leqi-unninni (Epic of Gilgamesh) — it’s a redundant story where a new idea is the “for reals this time” fountain of youth. Add Brian Johnson and AI to the list.

Of course not. Because it would force them to perform mental gymnastics to justify their use of the Bible to enact personal desires.

But the scriptures are also clear on the role of women in the Church…

That’s a surface level understanding of those scriptures and you’re failing to include the context of when and why they were written.

Why do you accept those verses as literal instructions for modern day and ignore Romans 16:1, Romans 16:7, and Acts 18:26?

I might accept that there’s little evidence of scripture to support women in a head role of leadership in the church (a female pope for example). But to preach, counsel, shepherd, and pastor can all be argued as biblically accurate.

You can’t legally do anything physical to him.

But I would request to your father and/or your sister that the boyfriend be removed from the home and uninvited to future family events. If they don’t comply, take your kids home and tell them all to frick off.

This won’t be a one off thing. The guy enjoys hurting children. This time it’s emotional harm. How far is he willing to go? What else does he desire to say or do to your family members?

It might seem like a harmless prank or him just being a shithead, but well-adjusted, sane people don’t do that. Especially in their 20s. If he were 15, maybe. But an adult?

You need to suggest the boyfriend not be there any more. If they can’t agree, then you and yours are elsewhere.

Folks were advocating that firing Freeze would lead to an exodus. News flash, this kind of exodus was coming either way.

Possibly.

Or worse, keeping Freeze would have kept these losers on the roster.

Golesh has the opportunity to show the world that he can recruit high quality portal players to Auburn. There should be nothing less with so many open positions. That’s what winners do. They win and there’s no longer any need for patience.

I get Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California having high Hispanic populations.

But Massachusetts?

Where’s the New Hampshire city with a Japanese mayor? Or the Colorado city with a mayor that only speaks French?

Besides the arch (which is a gateway when passing through), why the hell would anyone need or want to step foot in St Louis?
