  1. Tom Brady doing an anti hate commercial is rich.
  2. That Mountain Dew commercial was dumb
  3. Mahomes looking for X. Good shit.
  4. We took a hard left turn and are spending July in San Miguel de Allende. Heavily considering an early retirement to Mexico in 3.5 years. The last 7 months of overcoming long covid, the election, in-laws both dying and now the last 3 weeks just the beginning of the next 4 years has taken a toll. Not sure if it’s for us but we are going to find out. Thinking combo of PV (been a bunch) and San Miguel de Allende as the base with lots of travel baked in. Looks like we can live 3 levels higher at 3 levels below in terms of cost. So fuck it let’s explore and get this going.
  5. Fox News for all Americans (excluding the trannies). Shit stains.
  6. Not suggesting otherwise. Plenty are dismissive not saying you were. I’m a repetitive PSA what can I say. I’m pretty much fully recovered just doing what I do speaking with a surly bullhorn.
  7. I keep reminding people of my experience so they know, covid is a FAFO virus and it can hurt you for a long time and for some permanently. It’s is not in the same class as the flu or RSV for healthy people.
  8. My experience was exactly the opposite. Covid hurt the fuck out of me for 6 months - an existential crisis born out of a multi organ injury. I had RSV last spring due to caring for my mom in the hospital. It was 3 weeks of lethargy and constant cold like symptoms, my mom was tested and confirmed. It was not a big deal.
  9. Marbury v Madison out front shoulda told ya.
  10. Oh I dunno, letting the world’s richest man dismantle agencies he’s got trouble with, closing agencies that by law are created and funded by congress, violating court orders, taking EO positions that are contrary to SCOTUS decisions, with malice aforethought removing security details from former officials who openly criticized Trump and are under active assassination threats, whom even if your don’t give a fuck meter is broken are so steeped in US secrets they are better torture targets than assassination targets, CIA sending rosters over email, hijacking science funding that benefits all of Americans, shutting down health and safety websites, suing media companies as the sitting president causing a chilling effect on the free press, actively pursing the grift with his constituents while in office, no blind trust here. That’s 3 weeks in, he hasn’t even gotten started. cutting spending, eliminating waste, rooting out corruption, fine, that’s not what he’s doing. He’s trampling our form of government - willing and intentional violation of the law and the constitution - and no one on your side gives a fuck because this is a team sport for you. You earlier said alternate views should be welcome. They are, your views are just idiotic and blind to the reality of what’s going on here.
  11. I should put demonic consigliere as a practice area on my firm’s website
  12. Dawg he was so fucking serious, like intensely staring me down … “no man, I’m serious, absolutely no masturbation.” I was like I think this guy whacks off 5 times a day. fast forward 30 years later… combo of hormone replacement therapy, age and a wife that’s DTF and I licked that sin of touching myself. fuck yeah! Victorious in Jesus!!!!
  13. Reminds me when I was neck deep in the evangelical movement as a college student a leader from another church came up to me and said I could be a star - told me I had to be militant about rooting out sin - especially masturbation. I swear to god I was like what the fuck man? Anyhoo, it wasn’t a year later I was outta that shithole.
  14. The whole concept was imo started with the fiction series “this present darkness” which was written from the ideas extrapolated from Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” from that verse and that book’s interpretation we got to where we are now. According to these people, I cannot be taken seriously because I am fully deluded and controlled by the demon of sexual perversion. My identity is not real but a demonic spell that keeps me from Jesus and keeps me from fulfilling my god ordained potential. what demon controls you?
  15. Trans Reddit saying passport lawsuit filed, prison treatment too.
  16. We are in a tennis community there are several women in their 80s that are cognitively sharp and physically able. My mom is 76 and still can walk all over a cobble stone village in Italy. you need to redefine what you think your 80s have to be, they don’t have to be disabled and hanging on to life by a thread.
  17. I’m 50 this year, the idea of being active until I’m late 80s and then cognitively okay until 92-93 is what I try to focus on right now and that future depends on my decisions across (1) nutrition, (2) activity including cardio, strength, balance, core and flexibility, (3) sleep, (4) relationships, and (5) brain health. every year I do more on each of these. In the end I hope I live a long life and die of old age when seems to be a gentler way out.
  18. I’ll add you have to find joy and temporal happiness in eating well. I’ll admit right now I’m struggling because I was so strict for 6 months and now I’m healthy and so I’m enjoying the occasional glass of wine and a more relaxed diet. I’ve gained a few pounds of water and actual weight I’m sure, 5-6 lbs total. I still eat well most of the day it’s the dinner that can be tough. But the joy of crispy tacos is so fleeting and the feeling of being healthy is so much more sustained. It’s way easier said than done but I reached for a banana, celery juice and a Lara cashew date bar for breakfast. Feels so much better than eggs butter and bacon. I now need to string together 10-12 days of this diet to keep my weight and health where I want it. I think we also have to see this kind of diet as the baseline and the taco plate at the Tex Mex joint as the rare exception. Way easier said than done but eating how we were designed to eat in a world with cheap, unnatural and frankly addictive foods is really really hard.
  19. I employ one of my sons, I tried to run the numbers on lawn care. The amount they need to function as young adults without asking me for cash - so that’s gas, car registration, oil changes, a portion of their insurance, walking around money, modest clothes budget, some date money, savings and retirement contributions ($100/ month) etc is an order of magnitude higher than what I pay our lawn guy. Our lawn care is $60 per visit, no extra work done that’s paid project by project. Thick of the spring we are $360 per month. Dead of winter, $0 per month. The way run our household making the kids function as responsible adults requires more then 2x the peak spring costs. We had to nix lawn care from their options bc it made no sense.
  20. What can I say I love a good rotisserie chicken… 😕
