yea i imagine it'll be KC/49rs, that would be a solid SB.

i'm hoping Titans can get it done though.. rooting for my dude Tannehill. LEGGO FINS.

great game so far. Chiefs unstoppable lately right now though. Titans need more TD's asap.

I just finished watching the Chiefs v Titans game. The Chiefs QB is next level! T Hill looks like a video game character on speed mode with some of the plays he comes up with. Nobody can hang with him. When they do pay extra attention to T Hill you have the NFL's best tightend in Travis Kelce step up.

I can't see anybody stopping the Chiefs right now!

I like the Titans and KC! It sucks that they have to be playing each other. At least 1 of the teams will end up in the Super Bowl though.

SF should win against the Packers.

Just had a 'wow i did that?' moment. In the summer (~9 months ago), I was capable of squatting 150-180kg every day while being fit enough to run 5km every day (minimum) and i could jump 36" and play ball with perhaps the most skill ive ever had. I was in a way 'in the best shape of my life'. And I didn't make enough of a fuss because i thought greater things were just down the next turn (if i hadnt got injured that was probably true). And all of that at 6'3" 90kg while being 35 years old. I did achieve something great. I have nothing to show of it now but i did that!

I get that feeling as well even though I'm 29 but I feel like I have the body of a 39 year old. I took being able to run 11 second 100m for granted when I didn't have any issues with my achilles and wasn't an overweight slob. However, besides sharing a few race results on adarq.org I have no records of them. I was also able to dunk everyday when I was healthy at 5'11, which is a reasonable achievement. Yet instead of videoing my dunks all I have is one shitty youtube video of dunking on an outdoor court. Same as being able to deadlift 5 plates with minimal deadlift training. I took all of that for granted.

I want to get back to where I used to be. This time I'll appreciate the journey more and get more video footage. Tomorrow is promised to nobody.

This book is basically about an Irishman who immigrated to the USA and joined the NYPD and his experiences being a cop.

He described felons as this:
"Felons are, in reality, non-persons in the USA. At best, from the moment the judge’s gavel falls until the day they die they are second class citizens, with none of the rights the rest of us take for granted, including grant aid, which is automatically denied to anyone convicted of a felony. That means if you do try to turn your back on crime, there will be no money for college or business start-ups and no place for you in public housing. Felons are not allowed to vote, and at anytime they can be stopped and questioned by members of law enforcement who have a reasonable suspicion they are up to no good. A felony conviction ends your life as you know it".

No wonder the USA has such high recidivism rates compared to other developed countries!!!

"We live in a time of unprecedented upheaval, with questions about the future, society, work, happiness, family and money, and yet no political party of the right or left is providing us with answers. Rutger Bregman, a bestselling Dutch historian, explains that it needn't be this way.

Bregman shows that we can construct a society with visionary ideas that are, in fact, wholly implementable. Every milestone of civilization – from the end of slavery to the beginning of democracy – was once considered a utopian fantasy. New utopian ideas such as universal basic income and a 15-hour work week can become reality in our lifetime.

This guide to a revolutionary yet achievable utopia is supported by multiple studies, lively anecdotes and numerous success stories. From a Canadian city that once completely eradicated poverty, to Richard Nixon's near implementation of a basic income for millions of Americans, Bregman takes us on a journey through history, beyond the traditional left-right divides, as he introduces ideas whose time has come".
