    Disney released their bundle pricing: $12.99 per month for Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+. Individually, they would cost $5.99/month for Hulu and $4.99/month for Disney+ and ESPN+ each. Disney+ is gonna have Disney Pictures, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars/Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox, National Geographic, and additional original content. I'm not sure what that additional OC stuff is gonna be.

    Yeah, I saw that earlier today. I hope they do other bundles instead of just what they've listed. I already subscribe to Hulu with no commercials and I don't want or need ESPN+ so I'll have to see what they offer.

    It looks like ESPN+ sucks.

    Same but I have a bad feeling Disney is going to use that to screw over the consumer.

    ESPN+ has nothing with respect to the big 4 on it, from what I'm reading. Why bother?

    If they had Hulu and Disney+ in a package, I might go for that.

    The biggest issue with a vaguely written red flag bill is that it can easily be abused, especially if you are allowed to file the complaint anonymously. Know someone that has weapons that you don't like? Call in a fake red flag complaint against them and the cops will show up and take his guns and then he's the one that needs to prove he's not guilty of anything. Whereas if you have to file a report and give your personal information and then YOU face legal issues if the complaint was filed in bad faith, then at least you (the gun owner) know that you will be safe from 'revenge' calls from people that don't like you.

    Yeah, but we all know that it's not going to be 'the best case scenario out of a bad situation' kinda deal.

    Yup, nobody is going to want ESPN+ just the Disney+ and Hulu combo, so of course they won't offer that one.

    My personal opinion, and I know a lot of people think I'm going to extremes with respect to this, but if there were no such things as gun free zones then there would be no soft targets in the minds of the people responsible for these kinds of crimes. That's what they look for: soft targets. Gun free zones tell psychos "Look! A bunch of unarmed people all in one place! Easy pickins!" Repeal all gun laws, pass a national constitutional conceal carry law and when somebody does come out of the woodwork looking for carnage, after the initial assault, the people in the situation turn on the shooter, draw, and make him Swiss cheese. Arm teachers in schools, for those that don't mind being armed. I do appreciate the fact that some just won't want to be armed, and no one should be forced to carry a firearm if they don't want to. Place armed security guards in schools. We've got armed security guards in banks protecting our money, why the hell not in schools protecting our kids? Kids are more important than money, aren't they? And forbid the media from focusing on the shooters. Don't let them become famous. Most of them want to go out in a blaze of glory. They want to be remembered. They want to be infamous. Don't give it to them. And beef up our mental health laws to get kids help when they obviously need it. A lot of these shooters needed help and they were ignored.

    Here's the website, give a little more detail about what they will offer in the way of content.

    Well today was interesting.

    One of my closest friends G is getting married. He's been with his fiance for about 8 years now. They're due to have a very expensive wedding (that they can't really afford) in 3 weeks. My wife just got back from the bachelorette party for the bride in Portland on Sunday, pricey little trip. Us guys have a bachelor party planned for our friend G in two weeks... there are a dozen guys coming, some from as far as Hong Kong and Denmark. This couple has always seemed solid. My friend G is a stand-up dude, the friend who is always there for everyone, always a voice of reason, just an all around stand-up human. The girl... eh I like her, but she's complicated. She was a nightmare on the stag with my wife, total drama queen, and called her fiance about 6 times a day, even going home early twice from the activities they'd planned because 'social anxiety.' But it's always been like that, we figured maybe they just even each other out (despite quietly wondering why such our rock-solid friend would be with a delicate, sickly person). We saw our buddy this weekend though, and didn't get any hints there was a problem whatsoever.

    Well something snapped. We all get an email out of the blue today saying the wedding is off. I'm stunned. Nobody has got a full story. Being so close to the wedding I'm sure they've lost thousands of dollars in deposits. We also have a very expensive deposit paid on a house we rented in the US for this stag party in two weeks, and people have flights booked in from around the world to surprise him for it. I guess we'll just go anyways?

    I'm not even sure what to say to my buddy, other than I'm here to talk if he wants. All of our friends are floored because we see them weekly and nobody had a clue.

    Well, better now than a divorce. Pretty crazy though, first time this has happened to a friend I'm close with.

    She sounds a bit smothering. Maybe there's a trust issue? If I was dating somebody and she became like that, I'd dump her. But that's just me.

    Definitely be there for your boy, if he needs you. Other than that, make the best out of a bad situation? Go to where ever it was you were gonna go for the stag in the first place and party with your friends.

    Maybe they'll reconcile in between now and 2 weeks. Maybe not. But hell, you don't really need a reason to party, now do you?
