  1. It's amazing how well the bubbles we create for ourselves insulate us from reality.
  2. I didn't need another reason to never go to Walmart, but I'll go ahead and add this to the list.
  3. . . . Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Alex Jones . . .
  4. Agreed. They're the best dealer I've ever dealt with, for any brand.
  5. And here we are, living in a world where Chewy.com is profitable (albeit barely). Maybe it's the lack of a puppet.
  6. We can't all look like Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. I guess we're all just dudes.
  7. Expecting young people to recognize a guy who was a great pitcher, but only flashed for a relatively small window in a sport that is dying off faster than the Silent Generation, is a bit much. It's not like he's a legend of the game. Maybe if they only asked young baseball players in the Bay Area they'd get some more recognition, but I doubt it.
  8. What I'm gathering here is that she is a millennial Tucker Carlson.
  9. Did anyone else have to look up Candace Owens? First time hearing about her, and hopefully the last.
  10. Investors are just as stupid today as they have been throughout the long and insane growth of this massive tech bubble. I have no doubt Elon will eventually stumble upon the correct magic tech-bro voodoo language to save his crumbling empire. It's not like he has to actually come up with a functional product or service. He just has to come up with some more made-up nonsense that investors will gobble up, and he's done it plenty of times before. If building an actual business that can stand on its own merits were the task, he'd be fucked, just like 99% of tech executives.
  11. 8 months old and growing. 21 lbs at present. Will cut you if you look at him wrong. He's awesome.
  12. Self loathing is a powerful motivator.
  13. What are ideas Pat Robertson was pushing on television up until Satan finally dragged him down to hell a couple of years ago? I agree with your point regarding the continuous existence of a majority class of imbeciles.
  14. The only thing you're missing is that tech companies aren't real companies. They're low-hanging grifts. This.
  15. I suspect that is the bulk of it.
  16. That book is an all-time classic. It's fairly dark when it comes to the father-son aspects, with the mental health issues at the heart of it. It's a book I think about a lot with my son's neurological and mental health struggles. I reread it last year for the first time since college, and it hits differently now that I'm older and a father. It's one of those books that every man should read, whether they ride or not, but I understand how it can be a struggle to get through for many due to the dense philosophical sections.
  17. Shoot. They may have sold it over the weekend. It was there last week.
  18. I just returned from a father-son motorcycle trip along Highway 1, from Los Angeles to San Francisco. It was an incredible bonding experience. He's 13 and autistic. This was the first time we had ridden together with coms on our helmets, and he talked to me more on that ride than he had in the prior 13 years. Something about the distance of the helmets and not being face to face, I think. He just opened up and started sharing all kinds of things. I'm still overwhelmed by it all, frankly.
  19. I'm not sure where you're at, but AF1 in Austin has a green stealth Speed Twin 900 available at a great price. My wife just picked up a new 2025 ST900 a month ago, and I'm happy to answer any question you may have about them (if I can).
  20. Truth. Plus, they're a bunch of weirdos.
  21. Tell me you weren't in Austin without telling me you weren't in Austin.
  22. lol. This is probably the worst thing that could have happened to Ken. Cornyn must be ecstatic. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/us/ken-paxton-wife-divorce.html?campaign_id=60&emc=edit_na_20250710&instance_id=158257&nl=breaking-news&regi_id=85243815&segment_id=201639&user_id=6c73b0c6b1cc055d8363fbcd27a113a9
