  1. This thread is a cross between Surly forums and “one time at band camp” Go on…..
  2. Do you guys know more than two people who make less than 50k a year ? Our office is predominantly women. The women /couples that are well off all have 2-4 kids average is 3 .The people that make let’s say less than 40 k have kids most are young and have 1-3 . They take off when they have babies most come back some don’t . They save pto. The single low income earners get housing support / child tax credits . They have family support systems that work well. All seem very happy. The ones with no kids are either young early 20s and not yet ready and the few who don’t and are older which is 1 out of 30 just don’t want them . It’s not 1950, we’re less farm oriented and even less dogmatically religious. Part of the progression of women’s rights in this country is they don’t have to sit at home and have 5 kids ( however one of our family’s does just that) pregnancy rates in our office keep our insurance rates higher than normal.. it’s going to be fine .There are plenty of babies , plus with drones and Ai we won’t need baby’s to fight wars or do mundane things . We got plenty of other problems …….. PS the family that has 5 they are all girls plenty of baby makers .
  3. I have an 88 fj62 w 225k and my wife’s 2015 w 254k i now drive , sold the 2002 to cousins son, after snowmaggedon . transmission acted funny , then fan went through the radiator and the ignition cam snapped in half. Fixed the 2nd two , transmission straightened up and decided to sell to hs kid (cheeper than I should have ) looking for a Toyota truck figuring he would have to replace transmission soon. , regret it about every other day
  4. Agree ,my bashing of social media is the addictive nature of “reels” , the “fringe / conspiracy” non credible news sources and “look at how cool I am and how bad your life sucks” influencer component . As for connecting w friends keeping up with friends it’s great . I never had a problem finding the party on a Friday night in HS with out a phone or a pager - I honestly don’t know how we did it . I’m not a Luddite and realize there was bullying , cliques and teen depression well before social media, however the additive component that’s built into them can consume the youth and is olds before we even realize it’s happened.
  5. I have 3 kids 20-25 . They have all struggled with this the youngest the least. The older two - get off your machines , get some exercise , get your sleep right . that and a 6 month course of celexa helped quite a bit - the youngest is in college sports - that has its own issues but in general very busy so less time for the social media. Humans are very adaptable but the human mind and risk /threat assessment apparatus is completely overwhelmed by our latest technology( this fucking phone in my hand) . At 18-30 I watched the news we had the fucking Cold War to worry about , I knew of people richer than my family - I had wants , fears and insecurities - they weren’t front and center 22 hrs a day. turn off the social media
  6. wife got them for me at round top probably will be at crate and barrel fall ‘24
  7. So Im among the unwashed masses in that 2 billion 8 billion thing… right ? … Well fuck me runnin’ that was depressing I’m going back to the dog thread .
  8. You wanna tie me up with your tie ,Ty…..
  9. First game this year , Jumbotron better than last year? Missed p. Longstockings my loss . What was the version of LaGrange they played in second half on Jumbotron- original would be better but I’m old and it’s a nice compromise
  10. So when does Iran get their “find out part”? When does the revolutionary guard cease to exist ? Isn’t Hamas just an extension of Iran ?
  11. If they like chicken wings , chicken strips - cs has a monopoly on shitty chicken - laynes , chicken express , wings and things , wings and more , rooster run , bobs spicy chicken, Zaby’s , Buffalo Wild Wings , raisin canes - and various Asian tales on “wings” they will fit right in at any of those if they like their sweet tea by the galllon . tell them to call now for reservation at Marfa Texas Kitchen on fitch - they have a nice patio out back and weather will be nice, good drinks small good menu and casual - it’s one of the few places I can go here and not feel like I’m here
