The other way to spin that if you're not hyper cynical is that the Seahawks gameplan crazy well to take away the opponents strength forcing the opposing team to beat the Seahawks with their weakest unit. Some teams rise to the challenge and some dont.

Kalli posted:Being Mixed Helps me Connect Pretty sure I've seen a much better version of this about Obama. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/01/my-president-was-black/508793/ And it's Ta-Nehisi Coates so it's well written. Either way it's interesting that the same reasoning runs through both. Being raised by both black and white families allows them to connect with both sides and straddle the race divide. For Obama the Hawaii upbringing adds another element.

Yea that's an interesting point. Coates definitely touches on that but I don't think he does a deep dive. Ehud posted:I am white and my family is mostly garbage human beings thanks for reading Yup, same here. I could also just say my family has been in America since the Virginia colony and have lived almost exclusively in the Appalachians and now Florida. That also gets the point across.

Ehud posted:I signed up for Ancestry and found a lot of interesting things. I found the divorce filing for my great grandfather that I was named after and the reason for divorce was "gross neglect and extreme cruelty" We found out the reason one branch of my family that moved from Oklahoma to CA during the dust bowl ended in OK in the first place because my great great grandfather murdered a dude in South Dakota for messing with his brother and then fled to OK to hideout. We're a real classy bunch All I got out of the ancestry poo poo is that once upon a time my ancestors had an adventurous spirit and then once we got here we just loving stopped. It's depressing.

Legit have never heard that term before which is surprising since I was enlisted and I thought I'd heard every racial slur at this point. Blarfk posted:1. Irish Get food!

Diva Cupcake posted:This is a good Mina Kimes piece on Tyreek Hill. This quote makes Mike Gundy look like a real piece of poo poo: quote:Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy -- who had visited the police department and asked to look at photos of the victim, according to the arrest report -- kicked Hill off the team. "We try to stress as much as we can to these guys, there's just certain things right now that society frowns upon," he told reporters. drat societal norms.

Within the US the DC metro area is the worst I've seen but nothing ever holds a candle to places like India and China.

buddhanc posted:China traffic bros ITT. Was an expat in Tianjin for 4 years, death by insane taxi seemed inevitable. No one pays attention to lanes, speed limits, etc. People drive on the wrong side, constant honking, and a sea of bicycles everywhere you go. Holy poo poo, Tianjin is where I was at when I was in China for a summer. It was the most insane traffic I've ever seen. So we only have the one game today, right?
