    That’s not going to end well.

     

    source: real estate thread and buyers agent commission settlement 

    all these dudes think they deserve those extra 275 basis points, but they don't understand that the seller has other offers, and if they aren't realistic about their worth, someone else is going to get the house.

  2. I graduated high school in 1998, and while initially pr0n was mostly jpg, by 2001 video was plentiful and easy to get. Limewire, usenet, etc. Sure porn is an ingonito window away now, but gents had no trouble finding it online for the last 25 years. And plenty of folks my age an older did most of the flirting and making asking out via AIM, ICQ, and chat rooms. 

    I dunno what the problem is now for that 1/3 of dudes. But maybe always 20% of dudes were always undateable. Crippling drinking problems, in prison, unhygienic weirdos, rageaholiics, mentally ill, etc. History is filled with millions upon millions of fuckups who ain't nobody's grandpa. Maybe it inching up a bit is pretty marginal changes.

    In early manosphere spaces the message was for dudes to shut the fuck up, work out, get a job, and become a man. I have no idea when it became just losers validating themselves. Somewhere along the way people forgot how to become adults.

  3. who is the poster with the ugly sister in law who tells the story about match making two uggos and coaching them both to just settle (and play with his balls during the bj)? That story slays me every time. And it's probably the realest advice lots of people could benefit from. 

    In "the bar for men is so incredibly low" news I found out my high school ex's husband is now a woman. And I'm all for allyship, but that's a hell of an issue to pop up in a marriage. She seems like she's staying with her, for now. I told my wife that "I'm not secretly gay, still identify as a dude, dont have a secret second family, am fully employed, don't have a drug habit, and am still in love with her." She told me I should sell that in the greeting card aisle.

  4. daughter is 14 headed to high school next year, so I'm a couple years ahead. Good luck and God bless in holding the line. Every friend my daughter has she FaceTime and snaps *constantly*. And fortuitous, they actually set up face to face mall crawls and such. If your daughter claims social isolation from a smartphone ban... I would believe them. Even the apple iPhone chat bubble snobbishness is real. That said, bed time and screen time apps are plentiful and fairly simple to set up. 

  5. awesome re Texas lax. And props to Mr and Mrs Caven, the UT lax facilities are amazing for a club sport. I know the WW women's lax team had a visit to meet the UT women and tour the facilities a week ago or so. That donor was a forward thinker. kudos

    HS state champs: it will coming back to 'Wood in 2028 and 2029, if not sooner. They got a killer crop of dudes coming up from middle school and some very good coaches.

    But throw him in a room with anyone who isn't family or daycare, and he loses his shit. 

    Yeah, I hear that. Now I get to work from home about half the time, and that helps. Oh, you mean the kid. Probably just an introvert who likes structure.

  7. Hey guys - just got a new truck! Maverick XL. It has 4 wheels (plain steelies!), a steering wheel, doors, air conditioning, cruise control, a little bit of truck bed, and nothing else. Thinking about upgrading the rear cup holders, but maybe not. Not sure about sinking another $20 in. Can't really tow shit, but it does have a hitch. Ecoboost 2.0l isn't that much better fuel economy than my old v6 canyon. I gotta cut down my homemade struct ladder rack. Or just let it hang off the back, f it. Probably will be kiddos first car in a couple years, if they can handle the swag.
