He didn't thankfully, but the mental anguish my mother had to go through with the lawyers on top of everything else wasn't fun.

no doubt. 

Fuck, just the idea that he could try to sue is ridiculous.

Stock markets have "corrections", not recessions 

 

You're correct though - a "correction" is a 10% decline from its high and a "bear market" is  a 20% decline.

my bad, but yeah, i remembered hearing someone talk about 10% being the magic number, but I wasn't positive.

As long as you learned from it.

 

My mother was nearly killed by a drunk driver a decade ago. Spent an entire year in physical therapy while that guy who hit her SUED HER because he injured only his shoulder and "couldn't hold his daughter anymore".

Please tell me he didn't win anything? 

And yeah, i feel like a complete asshole every time I think about it. 

It sure is going to be interesting to see what the market does on Monday, but things certainly aren't looking good now... 

@SFLUFAN What kind of drop would there have to be to be able to call it an actual recession? Is it a 10% drop from its high? Or some other metric? 

classy.

So basically, she can eat shit and die. Drunk drivers go against the wall after they're sober enough to stand up against it.

I mean, i'm certainly against it, but I also did it when I was younger. Luckily I was never caught. It pains me to think how stupid it was. But I was 17-18, and I learned. This woman wasn't a child making a mistake she regrets, it sounds like shes just an all around bad person.

1.5 more years please!

You're hoping to start Trumps second term with a supreme court pick? 

So looking forward to this. Even the wifey is excited about this, she loved the original as a child.

CNN reported there was no more sign of cancer, apparently.

maybe Trump got her one of those neck things she collects (I forget the name) from Putin, with a little Ceasium (sp?) 137 woven in.

Someone had to walk over after that tweet and explain to him that he is not able to actually order that.

I’m pretty sure they could just have those children’s blocks with the letters on each side in the Oval Office, and tell Trump that it’s the new “the Twitter”, and solve all these posting problems.

Yup. Chairman of the Party is the Chinese title for Dictator.

I mean, sure they're scary and all, but not really practical if you wanna commit murder, I would think. 

 

I guess I would have assumed they were illegal, but like I said, it's not an item that really ever crosses my mind. 

Exactly. They used to be used in war because of trenches and fox holes. But they certainly aren’t going to cause the destruction of an AR when it comes to human life.

its pretty fucking ridiculous that flame throwers are legal. 

 

it's pretty not surprising that someone from fucking arkansas wouldn't think so though. 

you need a special license through the ATF i believe, same as silencers. But nobody really makes real flame throwers anyway nowadays.

Brad Pitt's charaqcter vs Lee in Once upon a Time

Bruce Lee wasn't a legit fighter anyway, didn't anyone understand that scene in the new Tarantino movie?  

 

*indeed a joke, please nobody start debating the meaning of that scene because holy fuck is that debate cancer

I mean, there is actually no evidence that Bruce Lee was ever in any actual fights. Theres legends and stories. thats it. His image was mostly curated. 

The worse are the idiots who believe Bruce Lee would have been a UFC champ with just Jeet Kune-do if he was alive in his prime today

The moral abdication of the Democratic leadership over the last few weeks has been nothing short of nauseating.

The last few weeks? Is that really as far back as you are going>?

So what does the "well regulated" part of the second amendment meant to you? And does "unrestricted" mean that citizens have the right to flamethrowers? 50. Cal Sniper rifles? Tanks? Those are technically all "arms".

Actually, we already have access to .50 cal sniper rifles (though a .338 Lapua is far superior), and there are absolutely tanks in private hands. And I believe flamethrowers are also legal, but you need a special license.

You know he wanted Muhammad Ali originally, right? Ali said no because Bruce was "a little guy" and Ali wasn't going to lose to him on screen Kareem was his student so that was an easy get.

considering everything Ali fought for outside the ring, I kinda don't blame him for not wanting to lose on tv during that time period. It was certainly a different time.

Seems a bit of an exaggeration. 

Are you serious? That is 100% truth. Disney is a family company in name. They are a giant who looks to crush everyone around them. 

If they work well, I give them to a local charity that gives them to people who need them, if not, I drop them off at one of the electronics shops that recycles them near here.

No worries, I was just informing, I didn't take it as you trying to be offensive or anything.

 

As for it being strange, it is, but the split happened between seasons 1 and 2 of Sense8 when Lilly transitioned. Not sure what's been up since that split out of necessity due to the transition (Lilly wanted to take time away from work) but it appears it is still ongoing.

Interesting. I knew Lana did Sense8 s2 alone, but I didn’t know the specifics.

It's her sister now rather than brother, just to be clear.

 

Separately, I believe her younger sister Lilly was going through her operation during the filming of season 2 of Sense8 and so only Lana co-wrote and directed season 2 (they both did season 1). Not sure what Lilly is going through since then but seems like she's still pulled back from work. Lana (the older sibling) has always been the more outspoken and artistically inclined of the two of them so I think we're fine but yeah, been weird since Lilly stopped. 

Ok, I had no idea both had transitioned, I wasn’t trying to insult or anything. 

I just found it strange not to see both names attached to a franchise they are inexorably linked to, at least as a producer or something.
