    I had the same reaction to that tweet. All his stupidity but much better grammar. Am I stupid or is there an insanity where he starts claiming he didn't actually write the tweets and that therefore whatever his Truth Social Manager types doesn't have any bearing on a gag order...

    Sure why not....there's nothing sacred at this point that can't be thrown on the fire by Donald J Trump.

     What was Biden doing in 1998? Being a Senator in DC with no reason to frequent women's dressing rooms at department stores, I would imagine.

    Umm, you're taking this way too seriously

    Max chance, 6/28 = 21%.  On the pill and skip one?  Chances are essentially nil.

    Many people are saying that I have really good sperm, maybe even the best sperm, I don't really bring it up because I am not even sure how to discuss it, but many people continue to bring up my good sperm because they think it is absolutely the best sperm, I don't do it because I don't think that's fair.

  5. That was Bill Cosby Roseaane....ya'll were the King and Queen of 80s and early 90s comedy.  He gave you some pudding pops (because you're fat) and a roofie.  

     

  6. It may just be as simple as more people don't have kids these days because in our connected world people have a greater realization of how challenging raising kids can be.  People gravitate toward the negative in information so they see things across all the various information mediums of the challenge financially, emotionally, time-wise, the responsibility etc, and that resonates a lot more than anybody like me saying while it is and has been those things it has also been extremely rewarding, fulfilling and wouldn't trade it for the world. 

    People can easily attach to more concrete notions of "I'm gonna have less money, less time, emotional stress, and more responsibility."  It's harder to attach to the vague notions of "rewarding, fulfilling, etc".    Less money is less money...concrete, factual.  Fulfilling is an idea that varies from person to person.  Are you gonna risk what you are pretty damn certain will be the case (less money) for something you can't be certain of until you get into it (fulfilling)?

    I dunno...just spitballing.

  7. The jump used to be 14U to 16U with 16U being the equivalent of high school JV. I don't remember seeing 15U teams in the summer, it used to be a level for freshman that didn't make their H.S. team.
    The weekday games were never an issue because of WFH. We'd usually stay at the same hotel and players would carpool from the hotel. The only real drawback was all the out of town travel. The only time it got rough was when one kid had to be in Atlanta and the other in Dallas.

    I got a JR in HS. There was definitely 15U summer after Freshman year and fall of Sophomore year so maybe a more recent change.

    And yea the out of town travel is more drawn out.

  8. Not really.
    Every other month in Angola(2 weeks). Every other month several sites in the States then every quarter Scotland and Norway (1 week). 2 times a year in Brazil (1 week). 2 times Houston (corp) (1 week). On deck Batam and Perth (2 weeks). They are pushing 2024 , but I am so burned out I say fuck it. Trying to stay married. 
    it is what it is. . . 

    Better hope there’s a 10th life.

  9. It’s gonna be so amusing to find out that Stormy’s knowledge of penis size was the main driver of the payoff…moreso than the sexual encounter itself.

    Yes, things ease up at 16U with games spread out over a few days instead of the the kiddie ball Sat/Sun format. The high school format is so much better than the kid tournaments. Oddly, the kids play a lot more games throughout the year and spend more time playing in a day than the high school players.

    15U but yea. Most tournaments have a 2-1-1 (in any order) pool play format. You do have to contend with weekday games (I guess unless you don’t care and they can drive themselves which most can’t until sometime sophomore year)

    If you get out of the resort towns in Mexico, you’ll find what Rage described and it surprisingly doesn’t stink. 

    First run in with this was stateside when I was in Cub Scouts  Our Pack leader also had an older kid in Boy Scouts and their troop was doing some exchange with scouts from Belize and so had a couple of however many boys were there staying at their house for like 2 weeks.  I'm there for a den meeting remember walking in the bathroom, it stinking like somebody died going out letting Pack Leader know and him just saying, "uh yes aware, they don't flush toilet paper in Belize and they are not breaking that habit in two weeks...we will get the trash taken out"

    Son's 14U team went 3-0-1 in Franklin this weekend (was weird two games Saturday and two games Sunday format vs true tournament).

    The tie came during a game Saturday that was called due to rain. Long weekend but good time and team played well overall. Just missing a really good defensive outfielder. Team has some good athletes out there but none really are experienced at position.

    That's more HS baseball style.  You will find the tournaments over the summer may start on a Thursday with pool games that day, Friday and Saturday (some of the really big ones can start earlier in the week)  Then Sunday there is a bracket which depending on the hosting body and type of tournament can be anywhere from 4 to maybe at most 16 teams (big time Perfect Game tournaments etc).  So for example you may have a field of 28 teams, some subset of that makes the Sunday bracket and everybody else plays a consolation game on Sunday.  Some of the biggest of the big time ones I have seen may even spill over into the next Monday for last few games of a given bracket.

    Then there are simply showcases, which is all that really goes on in Franklin. You are there to play games and be seen.
