Re: Quitting my job today
why do so many kids now, not know how to change tires? Probably has to do with the relative infrequency of flats today compared to our youth; I haven’t had one on which to even dad-lesson a kid. And the increased number of kids whose worry-wart parents got them a AAA membership to call someone if t...

Re: Uncle Joe
I realize there's a lot of corruption within both parties, like any rational person A few of you (you know who you are) seem to think only one party is the problem and the other party is the solution. And that's the most brainwashed shit I've ever seen Nobody here thinks that. And needing a false s...

Now, if we just reduce corporations’ tax rates, then they’ll lower prices. That much is obvious to anyone paying attention.Overlander wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 6:37 pm Yeah, corporations are usually “hey, we gotta do something fellas….this is just too much income”

Re: Let’s have a war!
I have a feeling that Johnson’s sudden pivot has a lot less to do with the intelligence he’s getting on Russia, and more to do with the intelligence he’s getting on what’ll happen in November. I am now very confident that there is R internal polling suggesting obliteration in November. The Rs’ near...

Re: Quitting my job today
I didn’t want him to pay for the tires. I told him the repayment would be to help someone he finds in a similar situation. I ran in to wash my hands, and when I came out, there was $150 under my windshield wiper. Good kid. I also taught him how to change his first tire. Having an exhaust jack and c...

Nah, I am thinking of forcing my way into the Event Coordinator position in the Empire. Japhy is in danger of burning out.

Re: F the NCAA
I hate that this bullshit makes me dislike players I don't know, that's not how I should be (and that part is on me, I acknowledge that). But, how do you not lose a little bit of the bond when you know it's all fake bullshit? Do you really believe that Shady flipped to us from Baylor over a dream? ...

Re: F the NCAA
Do you think it's possible that someone who is getting paid 500k a season might not be at all interested in academic requirements? I would guess that most of our rotation players over the last 40 years were pretty uninterested. This of course is absolute hearsay. My parents both worked for KU and h...

Re: F the NCAA
yes. so at the high major level, they should take the school part right out of the equation. no scholarship. no housing. if the children want to be pros, treat them as such. they can pay for themselves from what they earn. Frankly, with the direction this is headed being direct-pay anyway, it is in...
