Nobody believes in the Raiders more than you, man.

Real talk, yeah, it was 4. Just making sure I'm not coming off as some kind of pathological liar online like I am in person, lol. Let me go check the thread real quick.

William Gomez5 said:Vidin and I both thought something felt off. I know I can pull off a win when we're playing at home, but then suddenly Bill Gates is out there playing away games 🤣

honestly, that would be the only way to fix this, but the game's already kicked off so what's the point

just messing with you guys ☕

silentpanther7 said:Just a quick heads-up for anyone who already placed their bets or is about to jump in: I’ve laid out the pairings based on how we usually do things here in the States.The first team listed is playing at home. That’s how it’s gonna be from here on out until the season wraps up, so I hope nobody got tripped up by that. If you did, just drop a new comment or fix yours. Simple as that.

I can see why things feel off to you. I know for a fact that I play my best when I’ve got the home-field advantage, but then you go and try to pull this off against the Buffalo Bills on their turf? Yeah, that explains everything. 🤣

Ugh, honestly, that would’ve been the only thing to change, but the game’s already kicked off, so there's zero point in even talking about it now.

New York Jets-Buffalo Bills
Panthers-LA Rams Buccaneers
Buccaneers-49ers
Cardinals-Lions
Jaguars-Chiefs
Raiders-Broncos

If you've got the stomach for it, this guy laid out every single gruesome detail about what went down before, during, and after the whole mess.

Absolute monster.

Vettel is absolutely losing his mind

What a bummer, man.

Classic case of borrow, slap a signature on it, and call it yours. Standard industry playbook.😁

🤣

Man, Loveless is absolute perfection. The first time I heard it, I was hooked, and I immediately went back for round two.

Look, I don't know if my opinion carries much weight here, but my all-time favorites include stuff from Fleetwood Mac, The Flaming Lips, Norah Jones, Portishead, The Gaslight Anthem, Air, and just a whole bunch of other stuff—it's a massive list.😬

But honestly? I don't think I've spun anything more times than R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People.😁

darkwalker1 said:Forget all this Queen nonsense; just start listening to shoegaze and whatever other similar garbage exists—it'll change your life for the better.

I noticed someone from this PDF group is using this album cover as their avatar, so they can probably vouch for how wonderful this genre is:

Your mandatory reading list starts with Psychocandy by the Jesus and Mary Chain (don't screw it up by listening to Darklands—that album is pretty mediocre), then move on to Slowdive, Ride, and Cocteau Twins, and just let the music take you wherever it wants to go.

Not even gonna click the link—is it MBV - Loveless?

brightpilot6 said:I suppose it is a bit of a stretch to bridge the gap between all that raw destruction, aggression, anarchy, and pure grumpiness—which is what that genre suggests to me—and the act of raking in cash at some high-end, polished concert venue.

If you really wanted to give listeners that true sensory experience, wouldn't you host the show in a literal junkyard or some gritty dive bar down a back alley? ☕

But hey, I’m just messing around; people listen to whatever they want, it's just that this particular style has always felt like a direct pipeline to emotions I don't particularly value, like rage or anger, so I've never quite grasped the motivation behind leaning into them. Or perhaps I just outgrew that phase of life where you feel the need to wear your frustration on your sleeve.

this stuff gives off major Radiohead vibes😬

In my experience, most people who dig this kind of music—and other subgenres of metal, if we're being specific—aren't actually miserable. If anything, they’re usually some of the funniest, most chill people you'll meet.

Hey steelharbor9, if you ever run into Ode, he can back me up. We have a mutual friend who is a total grouch, a real piece of work, but seriously, no shade intended😁—most people aren't even like that.

Maybe it's because they listen to a mix of everything. Or maybe those heavy emotions really do dominate when you're a teen, but who knows? Back then, I wasn't hanging out with the crowd that listened to this, or maybe we just didn't own up to it.😁

Amanda Evans2 said:Personally, I find those deep dives into Ted Bundy fascinating... I’ve always had a bit of a weakness for those intense, dangerous types who just go all out

I actually think Sunderland is great; for me, it's more about the vibe of the city than the actual football, but I guess I'll watch just about anything, which explains why...
Man, I've even gotten myself hooked on Chef's Table

Where else would you go?

+ Bourdain's Parts Unknown 🙏

Joe Glupina : - "And that guy over there has the fourth and fifth."

🙏

"Makes sense." 🤣

"hang on, I'm in the middle of a Conversation with Sasha"

"get off that damn phone already"

"you hearing this, Sebastian?" 🤣 🤣

When Dino goes to pay the priest, his wife just refuses to go with him

"Don't be an idiot, just go and pay the priest already"

And then there's that two-second pause

"Look, man, I was just asking if you were going or not. You don't have to go, it's fine."

Classic passive-aggressive behavior. It’s like watching a flashback from real life play out right in front of you. 🙏

Michelle Palmer6 said:I actually know some of these people personally, and honestly, I can’t imagine anything funny coming out of their mouths! And even if something did happen to be humorous, my stomach would probably turn before I ever got a chance to laugh.

You're just salty because you got hit by Joseph Kennedy's truth bomb.

brightpilot6 said:Well, you’re probably going to laugh out loud at this one, though I suppose there is a certain level of wit to be found in the absurdity.

Or perhaps we later discover that while Dino and Ivezic were caught in the middle of all that chaos regarding their failure to show up on the road, they somehow managed to mention Tesla's Mexican heritage. 🤣

What Sid is getting at is actually the most important part of this whole thing; there isn't that typical sense of secondhand embarrassment you usually feel when watching American productions that try—and fail—to mimic what real life actually looks like.

It's like when Joe told him that even the smartest guy ever fails an exam, so Dino asks which one, Joe says Tesla, and Dino just hits back with "Tesla is a Mexican"

And honestly, I should mention that bit from the first episode with the olive oil—there are so many characters like that in California, it's actually insane 🙏

Susan Kim2 said:Gabrijela Španić 🤣

the scoundrel🤣

brightpilot6 said:I mean, watching Dina’s reaction when he finally realized Joe was just messing with him about being late was something else. The way he genuinely just told him to go jump in a lake 🙏

That whole opening bit about the voting process was top-tier stuff. 🤣

And those chauvinist "tricks" are a total show—pretending you're asleep the second you hit the pillow, claiming some random thing is actually just a stick at the end of a path, all that nonsense. 🤣

"So, look, if you use your right hand, you're right-handed. If you use your left, you're left-handed. But what do you call someone who uses both? A lefty-rightie?"

"Nah, man, they're called ambidextrous."
