@DangerousJThe Story of Adidon was brutal. The best disses are the one's laced with facts. They are hard to come back from.

Pusha-T practically had a diss EP lined up if Drake tried again. Drake really should not do this. . . but he gonna try with Kendrick. 

Kendrick gonna release hell upon that man. 

So a diss track from Drake dissing Kendrick Lamar leaked . . .

and then Rick Ross came from the top ropes 

Drake should know better than to diss actual rappers. You get "The Story of Adidon"

That one track alone was enough to tell my man to never do that again. How does someone bully you into fatherhood?

My inner child -

Came down from the Triangle to do the Cooper River Bridge Run. 

This has gotta be one of the coldest race days in memory. My "time" today is gonna suck 🤣.

Stellar Blade's Demo is pretty great. It's textbook example of how to do it.

The context of how he was driving, if he was weaving all over the road, and what made them stop him.

No one has sympathy for him in that sense. He was properly stopped. With proper suspicion of a DUI, all that was needed was a breathalyzer (since he wasn't committing to a FST) and document that for the record. I don't see anything stating his BAC in the transcript of the deposition nor the report.

Did he actually have a mixed drink in the console or was that bullshit?

It's certainly plausible, but again, why not dump that out too. If that was the case, why open a container and plant it in the car?

Was he actually drunk while driving or did he refuse the field test just because? How do cops prove someone is drunk if the suspect doesn't handle themselves super sloppily and refuses a field test?

Refusing the test just because is his right. You could be sober as a nun and refuse the test. The real question is why didn't they get his BAC if he smelled like alcohol. Speaking from my experience working in roadway safety, when arrested, as part of the booking process, the BAC is recorded at the time. There is often a breathalyzer available in the field or at the precinct.

I can't say she did the right thing but it's hard to have sympathy for this guy either. It's possible booze is the reason he's got a suspended license.

She didn't. Again I won't say he deserves sympathy for the stop. He was driving suspended. However, if an officer who upholds the law plants evidence to support their position ON VIDEO, there is something to be had for obstructing the process. Him having a suspended license has nothing to do with the matter at hand. 

and then the department did something brilliant . . . they made a post about this on Twitter stating they didn't see any wrongdoing. 

They are creating settlement fodder.

Oh, so do the plot that people were actually interested in back in 2015. 

Cool . . .  but why especially given how things "wrap up" for one character.

They probably ruined their chance to charge him with the suspended license when they tried to frame him for DUI. Not only does this not help, it's actively hurts both parties. He has to dealmwith trumped up charges instead of actual charges, and now I have another reason to deny police entry to my anything because they can't be trusted, yoy can literally hear her break the seal on the bottle then put it back in the car and charge him for open container. 

 

She ruined the charge he may have actually committed, and with any luck, her job. 

He may still get charged for the suspension . . . but everything else. . . .

I hate these videos because there's always so much context left out. Dude didn't do himself any favors driving on a suspended license and refusing a (voluntary lol, they need to stop acting like these are actually a choice) sobriety test, but I'm curious about when she said he had a mixed drink in the console. Wondering if that was true or bullshit. Either way, they got the guy on the suspended license and probably figured they could upcharge him to DUI and make better stats. This type of shit doesn't help anyone though.

Not sure what context was missed. It's honestly one of the more straightforward videos. Regardless of whether he was drunk, she lied on the report, stating that Riley had another open container when she was the person who created it. 

 She did not do herself any favors by opening a sealed container and then placing it back in the car and then stating that it was open ON VIDEO.

I haven't had any success finding the full traffic stop, but here is Officer Oliver's full deposition on the matter at hand. 

An abbreviated version of the deposition showing that Officer Oliver stating "she didn't remember" multiple times during the deposition

It'll likely fall into the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine.

Hey guys how effective are the home pregnancy tests?

 

Because my wife just took 3 of them and all of them came back positive

 

So.....yay? Guess I get to be part of the dad's club now 😅

One is random, two is a coincidence, and three is a pattern. 

Congrats sir!

Best parental truth I've been told so far - 

"Children ruin your life in the best way"

Every month it becomes more and more true. I have less time while simultaneously realizing how much time I do have. I can't think of what my world would be without him.

Although Coke has proven to be effective in cleaning some stains, I tend to be highly skeptical of videos that have the "magic cleaning swipe" trope

The first good uses I've heard about Coke is cleaning toilets and battery terminals.

Well, I'll just TLDR it then. Battery technology is barely improving. It improves at snails pace and those improvements are tied to rare materials.

That said, there are elements of efficiency that happen over time.

My tier list:

Alien 3

Prometheus

Resurrection 

 

Didn't include AvP

 

And I'm hoping Romulus will be up there with 1 and 2.

Personally, I'd swap 1 and 2. Now, with Aliens 3, is that the director's cut or the original?

All I've seen is the preview and from what I could tell it was not what you said which actually could be a funny movie or done right. I'll check out that video though

 

 

Yeah . . . that second trailer showed that it was going to completely miss any real nuance with the "romance" plot. I immediately lost interest.

I was curious to see if Campea would talk about that "Magical Negroes" movie... so far not 1 video in sight from what I've searched.... so he's probably going to avoid having to say anything 1 way or another about that movie, as I figured 😆 hey, that's just what they chose for the title... no sense in feeling apparently uncomfortable about saying it, imo.  I'm *guessing* he may have thought it would just sound silly if he tried covering it while only saying part of the title....and concluded he would just avoid commentary on it 100%.

Once I saw the second trailer, I knew it was going to be trash.

I've seen a few previews for that movie on TV. They're just greenlighting anything now

 

If the premise was actually based on a satirical take on the trope, it could have been great. A good modern example is "The Blackening". 

If anyone deserves peace, it's this guy. He spent over seven decades in an iron lung due to a polio outbreak in the 50s.

For real; if it wasn't going to go to Angela Bassett, then Stephanie was the easy second choice. Compared to her, Jamie Lee shouldn't have even been in the running.

Sad thing is. . . Stephanie wasn't in the running.

Sometimes the Academy likes to reward people for an entire career ,rather than a specific performance.

 

I don't agree with that personally,but c'est la vie.

That's what Lifetime Achievement Awards are for. Everyone knew why they did it, but it was Grade S+ fuquery.

But at least this isn't as big a "WTF" upset as Jamie Lee Curtis winning best supporting actress last year for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

That shit still bothers me. Stephanie Hsu easily should have gotten that one. 

I gotta watch Oppenheimer now. Movie raked up at the Oscars. 

I have feelings about this. 

On one hand it's a brilliant undertaking. On the other, the articulation is hampered by trying to keep the train modes clean. I don't regret buying it, but don't recommend you run to get it either.
