I watched this movie for the first time a week ago. Kylo Ren was an annoying, emo-raging teenager. Made me roll my eyes on more than one occasion. Probably the second weakest part of the film, behind Finn's introduction.

I got my negativity out in the draft. I'm going to watch and hope for the best. Preseason will certainly be interesting. I just hope they don't rush him if he's not ready, and I don't think they will, fortunately.

It's not even August yet and I'm an incredibly indecisive person.

Hebrew did not have any vowels at all originally. Most Biblical Hebrew was written without vowels, so I don't think this is the correct explanation. I could be wrong and welcome corrections. On a similar vein, though, it is my understanding that YHWH is not pronounced aloud by Jews because it is God's name.

Event A) Trump privately asks Comey to stop the Russia investigation Event B) Comey ignores Trump Event C) Trump fires Comey Event D) Trump says, concerning his firing of Comey, in an interview on NBC News with Lester Holt: And in fact when I decided to just do it I said to myself, I said, "You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story, it's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should've won."

Unlike Comey, Mueller is tight-lipped, so neither you nor I have any idea what evidence he has accrued in his investigation.

And for my next trick, I'll drink from a sippy cup!

This is my preference as well since 60 votes usually requires compromise between sides, though that's pointless if all it takes to change the rule is a simple majority. That said, this really has nothing to do with the bologna McConnell pulled in 2016. Gorsuch's seat should be Garland's and the open seat now should be Gorsuch's.

Trump is a stain on Republican and American history. He is truly an embarrassment and easily the worst president in my lifetime.

Jordan walked away after 3 straight, so that means I should walk away and join the fantasy hockey league, no?

My secret is to be as forgettable as possible, hence never having an avatar. I'm not that excited about football right now and I'm not sure if I want to play this season. That said, I'll probably change my mind come preseason.

I've never liked reputation systems, but c'est la vie.

Any chance we could get a dark theme?

I remember seeing a study somewhere that showed someone is more likely to moderate their own views when they're exposed to an extreme version of their side than they would when exposed to a well-reasoned argument from the other side.

I like this.

I know, I'm a real blast at parties. :P

For what it's worth, a vote in Alaska is one of the most valuable in the nation, in a way. Alaska had 3 electoral votes with only 318,608 turnout. That's one electoral vote per 106,202 voters. Only Vermont (one per 105,022), DC (one per 103,756), and Wyoming (one per 85,283) had more valuable electoral votes in the last election.

Looks like I can sleep easy tonight.

I don't think Scott is going to change his mind on this subject, but if he does, I think the best course of action might be: Have a separate subforum dedicated to politics. All politics chat goes in this new subforum. All politics chat is banned from The Aud Club. You have to be logged into the site for the politics subforum to even be visible. No ad hominem attacks. Keep things civil.

Perhaps. But still, that post is a rather weak example for his case even with the implications, and exaggerating (half the country) didn't help either. Seemed appropriate to respond in kind.

Don't ignore the word explicitly.

Everything explicitly said in that last post is objective fact, and there is a mountain of evidence to back up the claims in the second quote.

Fun fact, island was originally iland, but an 's' was added to it in the 16th century to make it similar to isle. Etymologically, however, island comes from Old English ig + land, whereas isle comes from Latin insula. Okay, maybe that's only fun to weirdos like me.

For me, that happened when Durant joined them.
