no gamer here either yr I couldn’t get past the first two episodes. I guess I’ll try again if y’all are saying it’s good regardless

The best sci fi I’ve seen recently sans Star Trek SNW. I knew nothing about the game and loved the show.
I was kind of leaning towards Tora or Midway because of the time stamp stuff.
Would Best Years of our Lives be an option? Or is that too subtle of a concept?
Do yall remember watching WW2 movies in high school?

I’m in need of some suggestions. I’m leaning towards the BBC Diary of Anne Frank miniseries from 2009.
I showed Grapes of Wrath for the unit on the Great Depression. And the kids stayed attentive for the most part.
I’ve got about a 2 1/2 window max.

A bullet might be extreme, but I really hated Laura Dern's character in the ironically titled Wedding Story.

I never did understand why I was supposed to be upset about BB playing at the halftime show.

Vets are like everyone else. They will take a check if it’s offered. There is an entire non profit industry dedicated to helping vets get disability checks as they ETS.
Most of the time it’s 10-15 percent stuff. So just a few hundred a month.

Real estate agent for my first house. He went to LSU for a year on a football scholarship. He had a family run Remax agency in Huntsville and owned a crap load of rental properties. His wife was an agent but mostly ran the contractors who would fix up properties before selling them. I went to high school with his daughter.
He was easily a millionaire in his early 50s.

I legit don’t understand why athletic programs have anything to do with this stuff. If a player wants to make money off of their own image, go get an agent and do it. Why does the school have to be involved at all?
Bama was averaging over seven penalties a game before last night.
I think there’s a line between cheating refs and swallowing the whistle. We know the latter happens all the time in other sports and in some situations in football. In NCAA MBB it was the “Duke treatment”
Why are we so sure that something similar doesn’t exist in football?
I think Bama was a better team and LSU earned the penalties they were flagged for and had some unlucky close reviews.
It’s also easy to notice that Bama calls weren’t reviewed, an obvious late hit was ignored, even the announcer thought they were giving “disconcerting signals” and Bama had their least penalized game last night.

Damn. I had a lot of those.

It’s a generational shibboleth just like 69 was for Gen X.
