It's a clear top 4 imo. Totoro, Kiki's, Spirited Away, and Mononoke. There are other fantastic movies (Ponyo is a great kids movie ie!) but those 4 are above the rest.

They're so much more watchable now and their fight is so much better now. I know there is a sizable contingent wanting to keep the tank rolling but I want to see these guys get a win. Just give us one glorious win against a decent team so those guys can feel good about themselves.

Realizing I could make them on my sandwich press at home was a game changer! The kids are more likely to eat them than burritos or tacos as well so it's easier to sneak in veggies. It's all upside!

Killer bucket. Siakam was right there and felt like he stayed in his face, just better offense. Another brutal loss but they're competitive now that they're healthy and it's so much more fun to watch. Even the gut punches.

That's such a good answer by him. The frustration comes through but so does the maturity and leadership. This team isn't going to make the playoffs but I don't think they finish bottom 4 in the league.

Incredible to not have the worst success rate of the day despite all of that. Some truly putrid QB play is happening right now.

Wild divergence between the 4th down analysis algorithms here. I don't remember ever seeing them that far apart.

Remember: kicking to go up 6 is a great way to give opponent better field position and lose by 1.
Our model strongly agreed with Giants decision.

I feel the opposite as OP about the ending. I think it's super clumsy and poorly done but the showrunners clearly thought an elected monarch was an improvement. Like clearly was meant as an uplifting step towards modern society thing. And completely ignored the 3 eyed raven implications on ruling

I think he's clearly trying to move westeros to something better but intentionally dragging it through 50 layers of muck to avoid someone doing the Aragorn's tax policy line to him.

Threat they pose in winter is breaking a cycle of some kind. Even if you continue the feudalism around it they've still improved the world. I guess he could see them as a red herring or climate change allegory but I've never really bought that. They're too central for me to believe it.

Okay sorry for continuing to rant but the more I think about it the more baffling I find the thesis of the thread. If Martin intended this as a wheel continues to spin and the small folk keep suffering story the presence of the White Walkers makes no sense. No matter the ending breaking the

and we're seeing the winners version of history. You could do a really interesting story that way, but jumping POV's including having Dany's version also confirming that he was nuts is a bridge too far for me.

Yeah but that's not really the point OP is making. I agree they're mostly written as zombie's/a force of nature but there is enough there painting as a hive mind/malginant force. IE the legends around the Night's King in the novels.
Also scratching my head at the claim the mad king wasn't mad

The whole thread has me scratching my head. Dany as a benevolent leviathan? Bran as an explicit continuation of the wheel? Bran being elected is so clearly a poorly done attempt at breaking the wheel (ushering in democracy) and the show ignoring the God Emperor implications of him as 3 eyes.

My point is from a harm reduction POV it matters that Trump both expanded bombings and reduced areas with access to life saving drugs. Creating a clear difference between the parties without making one good. Just less evil but demonstrably so.

Yes but they don't kill as surely or as swiftly as a bomb/missile does. Similarly ending USAID and PEPFAR literally kills people. They are not perfect but they help people and are a place where there is a stark difference between the parties on them which is the entire point I'm arguing.

Life but I absolutely don't condone the atrocities committed abroad or ignore them. I March, I protest, I write. But I have responsibilities and continue to engage with the world as it is as heartbreaking as it is.

Voting is not the end of things. I would always vote for option I think results in less death and suffering when presented with a binary choice and then continue to engage beyond the ballot box as that is not the end of politics. I'm sure our methods are different but I do l continue to live my

They have no power over foreign policy and this week have urged soldiers not to follow illegal orders (such as carrying out strikes against Venezuela without congressional authorization).

I thought saying I found Biden's support of genocide disqualifying made it clear I found it foul abroad too. My apologies for not being more clear. It is evil what Biden and the Dem caucus supported. I still voted for Harris and would have again despite knowing she would commit evil too.
