    That is the subtlest of subtlest humblebrags. Bravo nnm.Β 

    Ha. Those days are gone. I had a 25-year career in the energy industry. Almost always sat in the front of the plane. Now I have a semi-retirement gig with a non-profit and I sit in the back.Β

    So many more reasons to drink; so much less ability to cope with alcohol.

    Amen brother. I can’t drink at all anymore or it wrecks my sleep for a week.Β 
    But I have many reasons to drink.Β

    Putting a hunting, gun, military, or similar sticker on your vehicle is an advertisement that there is a higher degree of probability of a firearm in the vehicle, inviting the bad guys to break in.Β

    This is what I hate about our world.

    In a normal world, I’d say wtf does Jake Paul have to gain from this fight? If he wins, congrats dickhead, you just beat a 60 yo guy. If he loses, congrats dickhead, you just lost to a 60 yo guy.

    But in this shittastic bizzarro simulation world, he wins just because it gets people talking about him. Reality tv trumps all.

    Watch the Netflix Untold: Jake Paul the Problem Child. Β It’s all about promotion. Tyson loves Jake. Thinks he’s great for the sport. Β More people have watched JP fights than any fight in recent memory.

    Whatever the result, it’s not going to be a Tyson walkover, because Mike wants to promote. It’s not about boxing skills. Β It’s about eyeballs and dollars.

    For the record, I think β€œinfluencers” like JP are a scourge on society.Β

    What fucking publication is that from?Β Β 

    You'd appreciate this Armybrat being from the bronze age ;)Β Β 

    csb/ years ago, when hyper-sensitivity was sweeping through campus...I innocuously said a few times in a lecture "you guys should know this" or "you guys should read up that."Β  And a student told me that "you guys" is an offensive term because it's gender exclusive.Β  I apologized and explained it's a term that I grew up with in Chicago and that my mother uses it to this day.Β  She said "that's no excuse, people from other generations use offensive terms and that doesn't make it okay."Β  So I tried to cool the tension and said, "May I just refer to you all as Ustedes instead?"Β  She said it's wrong of me to culturally appropriate other languages to deflect from the issue at hand. So in Spanish, I told her to take a look at this expedited entry card I have on me issued to me by the Mexican Consulate/SRE and that my mother is from Mexico and my first language is Spanish...don't let my name fool you.Β  We were both being assholes, to be honest.Β  And I think I was really hungover IIRC (8:00a section).Β  but eventually everybody had a laugh at something I said to defuse and we had a great set of presentations.Β 

    Don't get me wrong, some adjunct lecturer walks in with a double bourbon and a cigar and says, "Any of you broads or skirts know how to do math?"Β  I want my daughter to kick him in the nuts and report him to the Dean.Β  But a period at the end of a text or a handy catch-all term for the students?Β  Come the fuck on.Β  It's way less condescending than addressing them with my hands clutched like, "Now class, what is the difference betweenΒ  recourse debt and non-recourse debt?"Β  I'm not some 1880's schoolmarm.Β  /csbΒ
