  1. Because that place isn't bad enough already. Is it possible the Congo will ever not be a complete shithole? Or even 1000 years from now it will still be one of the worse places on Earth to be born in?
  2. You mean this shit is going how socialism always goes.
  3. Star Wars Generation. 1977. I have an older brother, he's 7.8 years older than I am so for me it was his influence growing up in the 70s along with the 1980s. Nerf football, wiffleball, 8 tracks, Atari 2600, Legos, monochrome computer screen with floppy disks and DOS. 12 channel television that you had to get up to change the channel. Riding my bike all afternoon where the only rule was be home by dinner. 80s hair bands and the rise of grunge. We also rode in the back of the station wagon, in the bed of the pickup, being the 3rd wheel when my brother would have to take me somewhere in order for him to go out with his girlfriend. Making mix-tapes and desperately wanting a cd player when that came out. Watching Challenger explode live on television during assembly and the Gulf War unfold on CNN in the evening. Dial up was so damn awesome, till it sucked ass. I didn't have a cell phone till college. The VCR changed how we watched television. The 80s S&L scandal and watching my parents worry about how they were going to make it. The 90s booming market that paid for my college followed by the bust. So many memories but I wouldn't change being an Gen Xer for anything.
  4. I want to open my goddamn windows at night and have my month of fall where neither the a/c nor the heater is running. This 90+ degree nonsense is bullshit. I didn't vote for this!
  5. This is the only correct response.
  6. Now they can hide themselves? No Gaia, this is a step too far.
  7. how the hell do you turn that shit off?
  8. nuke it from orbit. it's the only way to be sure.
  9. I'm hoping that asshole gets ganked in prison. This really couldn't happen to a more deserving person.
  10. My brother is in Azle. Drove out there to give him some excess building supplies and three different subdivisions were being built out beyond Brewer High School.
  11. Anecdote, because thank god I don't have kids. Friend's teenage kids liked weed. Older girl does it occasionally but it was never a big thing. Younger son is now obsessed with it. Once he graduated from High School he got into trouble with a girl. Finally ditched the girl and her craziness moving to the greater Bay Area because his uncle got him a job at Virgin Airlines. He loves the job, ticket agent, been traveling for free all over and basically living the ultimate young twenties, now 24, single life. Alaska Airlines has bought out Virgin and they drug test, unlike Virgin. He's on the verge of quitting because he won't give up weed to keep his awesome job. To the best of my knowledge, from his mom, he's never done anything harder because he loves weed. But he's going through a bowl or two a day and about to give up a career with perks he loves because he can't or at least won't give it up. See above about kids and drugs before physical maturity.
  12. Hope he suits the shit out of her and the school. Judge needs to get in her face and tell her she's no more a special snowflake than anyone else and yes you're goddamn right you sexually harassed him. Pay up bitch.
  13. It's raining in Arlington. Had no idea if this was on the forecast but a lovely 20+ minute actual rainstorm. It rumbled for a good while before but then stopped so I figured it was all a tease. Nope, glorious. Now come on down you cold front. Push these god awful upper 90s temps with horrific humidity out of here.
  14. You want to know the real tragedy? They could have gone to 60+ nations and had no problem riding all across them. Hell the US itself should have presented untold options but dumbass didn't believe in "evil" so he gave no thought to the idea that maybe riding through the stans, just might not be the best idea ever. Tajikistan, a 98% muslim majority nation with what appears to be a "president for life," a terrible economy propped up by remittances of foreign workers, with a history of civil war, and is a major heroin supplier and transit nation. It also has inadequate health care, rampantent and widespread poverty, government corruption, little internet access which is state controlled and censored, oh and muslim terrorism; yes this is a fantastic place to plan to ride your bike across. The only saving grace is that at least he and the girlfriend hadn't polluted the gene pool with their special offspring who also haven't be taught any common sense. Nasty, brutish, and short...most of the world hasn't changed a bit. The NYT wrote an article about them. The comments section was full of the same stupid people who still haven't seemed to grasp the concept.
  15. I hate shoplifters but good god man wtf was he thinking? He needs to be fired. That said mom needs to take some responsibility for her little thief.
  16. Drinkwater made no sense then. It makes even less sense now and will basically stall his career unless he takes a massive paycut because no one is going to fork over a fee and huge wages for a middling cm, even if he is English and can help several teams fill their quota as well.
  17. I'm sure there are other big money clubs that are more dysfunctional with their money but Chelsea seem amongst the worst. Why on Earth any English player would ever sign for them, knowing you're there just to slot in as a home grown bench option, is beyond me. I get it, money, but man have they churned through a ridiculous amount of players over the years. Get out RLC while you can.
  18. Meyer to Palace official. If Spurs would get their shit together and sign a damn midfielder my day would be complete.
  19. Roy's a good club manager as evidenced by Palace's turnaround last season. As for Meyer he can thread a pass which is what Palace needs so Zaha, Townsend and the rest can smash teams on the counter. He's not a savior and will be overpaid but for the total invested for him he's the best player Crystal Palace could get to fill it's gaping midfielder hole. He's also probably going to come in with a massive chip on his shoulder because all the teams he wanted to go to refused to pay him the money he thought he deserved. He's got a lot to prove and a decent team to do it on. Or at least that's my hope.
  20. Oh and fuck Turner plus NBC for being extra greedy cunts.
  21. They are a fanbase and manger that deserve each other. A beautiful match made in hell that I truly hope has a bottom ten in the table implosion. Fuck him and fuck them.
  22. I'm trying not to allow myself to hope that Max Meyer signs for Crystal Palace. You talk about a huge get for them. A lot of squads in the middle of the table seem to have helped themselves immensely this window. Could be a really exciting season outside of watching ManCity try to run away with the league yet again.
  23. Don't care that the photo makes snek look much bigger. Look at the size of the head on that thing. Nope. Nope. Nope.
  24. Good to know. I may have to sit down with an accountant soon and discuss how that would work for me.
  25. I've thought about making myself an LLC and then funneling everything through there rather than distributing to myself via a K-1. Certainly something to think about and talk to an accountant about.
