    Getting old sucks

    You seem old
  2. maybe but don't fuck with the theatre kids or their parents, talk about the ones to watch out for...
  3. for texas?
  4. Fuck surf boats for $600k, that’s a nice used Hatteras SFY right there.
  5. 💯 Hang in there @MissingInAction. You can do this. It sucks donkey balls though a trough of pig shit but it will be over soon(ish) in the grand scheme of things. Stay strong and keep posting pics of Luna.
  6. Nice humble brag asshole, jk
  7. And then she will lick your face off.
  8. I did not need to hear this on a Tuesday. Come to think of it I didn’t need to hear it at all. Enshitification is right. Capitalist pigs.
  9. God dammit with this circle of life shit. Sorry, fuck. Sorry.
  10. Peanut butter and bacon sammich. Strawberry preserves optional.
  11. That’s his brand new puppy fur!! He was maybe 7 months old. he knows shake, beg, stomp your feet and boof to get a bone or couch time, sad eyes to guilt us when we leave him home, guard the exit so he can go, knock on the car window so you’ll let it down, and so many more. Smart fella, always learning. My proudest accomplishment with him is come and touch to my whistle, but he’s thinking it’s a bit optional in his wise middle age. he’s all growed up now at 6 years old.
  12. btw only when i re-read it did I understand it was your dad. I assumed it was your FiL... what kind of asshole does that to his adult child? I mean I'm sure he's good or was good otherwise, but yeah, in that instance, fuck that guy.
  13. its usability in the last 6 months is night and day different. I don't think we common folk can truly appreciate how much farther it can develop. once the agents hit mainstream with some reliability it's a massive game changer. right now I have a really smart researcher at my disposal that sometimes gets things wrong but it's good enough to research, report and write for me. what it can't do is execute. as soon as it can make reservations, unsubscribe from an monthly reoccurring charge, or even do some assistant level work for me, it's game fucking over for a lot of the help. as long as those of us in our late 40s and 50s can adapt to using AI we will be fine. the utes are fucked. trades really are looking like a great way to find reliable work right now.
  14. man, the way she enunciates her "f" with a scowl on her face, how she shakes her head, how she says "he's making up some shit" makes her definite hall pass material.
  15. the Texas courts will get a hold of it and well... oh shit.....
  16. college? more like ... freshman.... although I never put it up my nose sophomore / junior senior / law school
  17. a different time for me, but suffice it to say, I gave the mountain man smile / smirk / head nod to my principal. that guy yanked my ass into his office the next school day, I think it was friday then a monday. of course I thought I got away with it all weekend because I was stoopid. speaking of being a total fuck up my senior year in HS.... I back door'd my way into Ut Austin through ACC, 24 hours over 2 years, dropped every class I wasn't going to make an A before it showed on my transcript which back in the day was like 2/3 through the semester. I think I had registered and paid for 36+ hours and dropped at least 12. transferred through automatic admissions process for transfers with a 3.0 or higher. those two years at ACC... sheesh, too much booze, weed, magic mushrooms, accidental crack pipe experience, accidental coke laced joint experience, absolutely nuts. but once I was on campus, it was straight and narrow from that point on. and the rest is history, I was an academic badass.
  18. To be clear I’m involved in the writing process but I have not written one single word and the ideas are all his. Only guided him like a tutor or engaged English teacher would, there’s a line you just can’t cross or you do way more damage than good.
  19. I’ve got a 15 year old that’s a gamer and it’s a problem. he totally handles his shit - he’s smarter than his 17 year old brother, his grades are impeccable, all pre-AP or AP classes, more musically and athletically talented, his music resume is already off the charts, but he lacks the extroversion and innate leadership desire and personality - although he’s the only soph in band leadership - and he’s a total nerd / gamer. It’s the only thing he does in his free time. All friend time is online. It’s kinda odd nowadays too because nerd and athletic, good looking and fit aren’t mutually exclusive but even with those traits he’s 100% gamer nerd. And this year I have to figure it out. He’s going to hate me but I’m going to get him off his console this year. Not sure if it’s a job, more gym time, force another hobby, in person time with friends, do the lawn, fuck I dunno but it has to be something. and to me that’s his pre-college app prereqs if that makes any sense.
  20. We have and he wants to go to an in state public school for that reason, unfortunately there’s only one worthwhile state school in Texas and he’s got a better chance to get into Cal and UCSB than UT. Crazy.
  21. He told me, October 1 is early deadlines I can apply later. I laughed. We talked. His eyes got big, he got it. All apps will be in by October 1. @BabaYaga and the rest of you too - y'all are awesome. Totally great to have a place to vent. im trying to be strategic, even being friendly with my ex, this year is going to be a bumpy ride and I definitely want him to be able to coast from December on. Cracking the whip now and helping him do what he truly wants while his frontal cortex says to slack off is the challenge. But 4 months … we’ll make it. shit I almost flunked senior year of HS and I turned out ok. Hell I had the audacity to skip school to go to a high school baseball playoff game where all the principals were there and saw me skipping. I did not give a fuck when they called me into the principal’s office. And that wasn’t the half of it. He’ll be fine.
  22. Done the BVIs twice on a sailing cat it was great. Highly recommend.
